That's great - thank you! Yet another reason to send a contribution :)

Hi Eric, Just wondering, what happens to the app when you decide to retire or for some reason can no longer maintain MFB? Long Live MyFlightBook!

That makes more sense.

Excuse my ignorance, but, these numbers can't include aircraft rental right? Or do they? If they don't include aircraft I'm just curious - where do your students rent the plane from?

Long reply ahead. If you don't want to read I just have two questions: 1. What point exactly in the pattern (or before the pattern) do y'all run through your pre-landing checklist? 2. Do you use a paper checklist, mnemonic, or both for pre-landing? [edit: found this PoA thread where many...

Hey geezer- Could you explain those two callouts? I don't think I can see the gear in my plane. And what about the pitch do you do for landing?

It's linked in the wiki GUMPS article. Totally agree - was just wondering if anyone did know the story behind some of the less obvious items in this one.

Yea, I know this checklist is overkill and was not suggesting it's appropriate for my glorified go-kart with wings. I was just wondering what / who those items DO apply to. Do some people turn their carb heat on and then off as part of their prep, and so on...?

Hello, I am just reading up on some of the different checklists people use for different phases of flight, and came across the wiki article on BUMMMFITCHH, or OBUMMPFFITCHH as they say. O - Open carburettor heater B - Brakes free U - Undercarriage down and locked M - Mixtures M - Magnetos M -...

According to the FARs: FAR 43, Appendix A "(c) Preventive maintenance is limited to the following work, provided it does not involve complex assembly operations: [...] (3)Servicing landing gear shock struts by adding oil, air, or both."

Lol thanks robin. So if I understand what I've read correctly, the bungee is basically a spring inline with the steering arm. When torque link is keyed at the top - or you are parked and there is too much friction to overcome - the spring will compress but the wheel will not turn. During normal...

Ok - please excuse my ignorance, but, If the torque link is keyed to the strut when the strut is locked out - how can you still push on the pedals and turn the rudder? I thought this would effectively lock your pedals too. I'm guessing it has to do with those "bungees". Will research... Really...

Ok that makes sense - thank you! I found the table in section 2 you are referring to. But now I'm wondering - why won't you have steering with the strut "locked out"? Does locked out mean overpressurized such that the strut is at max extension on the ground?

Hello, I have heard everything from "two" to "four" fingers of chrome showing on the nose wheel strut. Trying to see where this number came from I checked the maintenance manual (both pre 1976 and 1977 - 1986), both manuals list "5.15 in MIN to 5.30 in MAX". I'm no bear, but the palm of my...
