    AOA vs Stall Horn

    My AoA is linked in to my G3X and does also give an audible warning that changes the closer to stall I get. I do not have a stall horn.

    who has right of way, backtaxi vs landing aircraft?

    I agree 100%. You are still the "landing traffic" until you have cleared the runway. Rule 91.113 says "on final approach to land or while landing". When you touch down and are still on the runway, that is "while landing". If not, then why distinguish between that and "on final approach to...

    Any of you Experimental types comply with this

    To answer the original question, yes, I've found it is most advisable to comply with the FAA regulations applicable to my aircraft. I'm a plus one for the my initial callup: "Tower, experimental RV 62MG...", then drop the experimental for all subsequent calls to that tower. Same for my initial...

    Sun N Fun is On for 2021!

    I've gone for multiple days in the past, but really got disillusioned with SnF in 2019. Could be because 2019 was also the first year I attended Oshkosh, which was amazing. I swore I wasn't going to SnF in 2020 even before COVID was a thing. Now in 2021, thinking about maybe going, but if so...

    Worst halftime show of all time?

    And was the national anthem duet intended as virtue signaling that a white male country artist and African-American female R&B artist can actually work together? I know, there I go being all gender binary and everything.

    Retire to Airport Community?

    To each his own. I personally LOVE living on our small grass-strip neighborhood. Airstrip HOA dues are $300/yr - covers mowing and maintenance of the strip. 15 lots, but only 5 developed. Love going out my back door and hopping in the plane for a quick spin around the patch. Can't wait for...

    Realistic aviation movies?

    I really enjoyed the movie "Sully". While I know they took some liberties with the NTSB handling and timelines, I did enjoy the cockpit sequences. One awful one I just watched - Ground Control. Just plain bad.

    Charlotte Douglas - another Class Bravo airport in the books

    My only landing at CLT was not too long after I got my PPL in a rented 172. Was picking up something from a server farm there. I was cleared to land on 18L but not until the 737 that was simultaneously landing on Rwy 23 had crossed 18L. Had to do a couple of s-turns on final to ensure that. When...
