    Why are you a pilot?

    I couldn't begin to count the number of those I had as a kid! Looking up at airplanes going over always captured my attention until they were out of sight. Captivated before age 3.

    Cessna 172XP

    Awesome airplane. Learned to fly in one 40 years ago. Excellent XC machine.

    Why do people argue glass vs steam?

    I thought it was just when you get off the edges of our Flat Earth that it got flakey?

    Why do people argue glass vs steam?

    Glad to know I'm still "young" at 61!! ;)

    Why do people argue glass vs steam?

    Why do we have the steam vs. glass argument? Because we're pilots! We can argue about anything. For some, I think it's a bit of macho attitude. Honestly, if you can fly one, you can learn to fly the other. It's not that big a deal. I go back and forth all the time. The amount of steam will...

    Jeppesen discontinues NavData for GX series

    This. I've seen a number of these units in customer airplanes and I have yet to see one with a current database. Could be Jepp was spending money supporting a handful of subscribers and made the simple business decision that it simply wasn't worth it for so few subscribers.

    I got reported to the FAA (not a ******* Satire)

    More likely a 20-something newbie who thinks someone is stealing work from him.

    Flat earthers

    Yep. Thought I was being trolled by a friend of almost 30 years. After a few FB exchanges I began to realize he was being serious. He'd send links to videos that would, literally, make my head hurt with their stupidity. And he's a smart, successful guy. Completely baffles me. I have no...

    Why do many (most?) notable pilots have mustache?

    I fit the profile...except for the 'stache, the lean face and the lean figure. Otherwise, I'm there.

    I got reported to the FAA (not a ******* Satire)

    Slow day at the FSDO?? Seriously, how long do you have to be a government employee to lose all sense of reality and humor?? I'll be curious to see how long this looney-tune has been with the FAA.

    Question about letter from FAA

    What Greg said. The fact you disclosed it required they review the matter. They decided it wasn't disqualifying and you're good to go. Go fly!

    Foreflight PDC

    As others have pointed out, PDC is only supported at a relatively small number of major airports. I thought I read recently that the FAA is pursuing an initiative to deliver clearances digitally via e-mail/EFB. It would seem to be a no-brainer since so much else is available digitally already...

    PIREPS on Avemco?

    It's been many, many years since I had a claim with them, but way back then they settled quickly and with no hassle.

    Piper Arrow flood on the market

    That's the only reason our little flight school bought one. We might have been lucky it got gear-upped in July! Cashing out on that one.

    For Sale What's a Stratus 2 worth?

    I'd probably need to buy three to keep one flying!

    For Sale What's a Stratus 2 worth?

    I don't own any of the CRJs I fly! :-)

    For Sale What's a Stratus 2 worth?

    The biggest reason for me is I use it in 121 flying and the ability to secure and hide the wifi is the biggest feature benefit. That's a complete non-issue in private flying. Feature-wise, there's not any difference that I can see.

    PIREP: iPhone Xs Max & ForeFlight

    I've flown with it several times with students, but have not yet bothered to mount it.

    For Sale What's a Stratus 2 worth?

    Just the rubber dash mount. I charge it off the multi-port charger I use to charge my iPhone, iPad and Surface. I can't remember if it came with a charger and if it did, where it might be, but I've got tons of chargers lying around so could throw one in with a cable. I've never needed the...

    PIREP: iPhone Xs Max & ForeFlight

    Since the last major update the phone version is darn close. Only a couple of items I can think of that I miss.
