    Nothing there I can understand, so buying it would be a waste of money. :redface:

    GPS backup

    I've said it before and said it here too, but now I can't find the posts. Who needs the FAA for this? Just find a radio guy who believes in it. Why can't a receiver scan the spectrum of low frequencies, automatically triangulating position bearings? Surely the transmitter locations are in a...

    PA-31 down near KALB

    A word to the wise, in case you never thought about it before: There are two times a lot of nose-up trim is beneficial, during a steep turn or in the landing configuration on short final. SO, when fate gives you a bunch of Un-commanded nose up trim, roll into a steep turn while you configure for...

    Thoughts on Bellanca's 7 ACA

    Very astute! But make sure you have enough grass — land on it, don't smoke it.;)

    RV-12 Fatal Crash - Control Failure 6/6 Auburn, WA

    Yeah, but have you tried it with the loose end of the push tube threaded rod end jammed against something causing the roll rate to increase rapidly?

    Finally restarted my flying lessons.

    ANUS (Air Notices, US) shouldn't offend anybody, everybody has one.

    Finally restarted my flying lessons.

    As ridiculous as Notices to Air Missions?

    A revolutionary way to fly a helicopter (and soon planes?)

    Meh. This, Next-Gen, and self-driving autos are just software engineers' quest to eliminate the need for pilots and drivers. Just 'cause you CAN do sumthin'... :rolleyes1:

    Not political but interesting -

    Nailed it. It's an article penned by a snooty private pilot that reeks of jealousy and ignorance. Must be a newbie student and ardent anti-Trumper. Just sayin'.

    Multi Training - Instrument Approach OEI Training

    There are about eight or nine places during a typical flight test in a light twin which require a modified OEI procedure or mindset. You should be thinking through them as you transition from one phase to the next, so you're ready for the inevitable: 1) Before gear retraction on takeoff 2)...

    Resume Own Nav...

    Well, I stand by my assertion because if the controller is compliant with par. a & b, then the OP's post is moot because the intention is explicit. Therefore, only 4. applies which implies an EFC (or "no expected delay" under b. 1., essentially the same thing). No?

    Resume Own Nav...

    Exactly. Listening for "Direct to" or some such variation and concluding it's a limit is missing the point. If it's a limit, there's supposed to be an EFC. Otherwise, it's a mistake.

    Resume Own Nav...

    Wrong key words, imo. You should all be listening for an EFC. None given? Better ask for one ASAP if you think it's a limit.

    Raisins at Aldi's is up to $1.99 from $.99 how's that math work out?

    Wag-Aero's Demise

    Well, if they invested the money rather than indulged in it, a lot more of good could have been done was my point.

    Wag-Aero's Demise

    Not a jar, but how about burying their money in a Rolls-Royce? I found an article about a piece Milton Friedman wrote in Newsweek that explains why wealthy Brits used to prefer to ride around in expensive Rolls-Royces than risk their money in investments...
