A few years back, during covid to be exact, our super liberal town closed our airport for 6 weeks to "help stop the spread of covid". It is a small airport with no commercial traffic and minimal transient traffic. The airport is back open after 6 weeks of saving us from covid, then the city...

Income tax in California is what? like 13%? Politics there sucks, at least if you believe in anything like the constitution. Gun laws there suck. I left Colorado. Colorado is a very beautiful state, at least the western half. But, the government corruption, traffic, liberalism, is over the...

I liked Uavionix early on, but after having a tail beacon, I won’t buy one of their products again. The tail beacons and sky beacons are junk. I know of several failures, including my own. Then, the customer service was horrible as well. I know of avionics shops that won’t sell the because...

I don't often scud run, but when I do, its low. Last week I was down to 700' skimming the bottom of the clouds, I was over open water in the Bahamas, but that was in a turbine. On a trip to Idaho a couple years back I finally set it down on a gasline service road, I was skimming the clouds at...

In my new corporate job, we fly ILS more than GPS approaches.

My kitplane has a roller blade wheel for the tailwheel

By the people post, I would start to think that alaska is buried in snow all year long.

Even our podunk little airport has cameras all over it. Of course we think that is so the people at the city know can keep tabs on us.

I don't think 1000hrs will get you much in a 135, unless its small stuff. I am 52, just under 1000hrs. I am tailwheel, seaplane, commercial, and multi engine. Insurance company wants me to have a babysitter pilot in the Caravan for 200 to 250 hours. I have been to Caravan initial at Flight...

What do you think a gpu does? Hook up a battery charger while running the avionics.

How about a decent battery charger?

I heard recently that this is the last year of support for the 430.

30 something posts about 1 loose screw on a spinner, wow. That’s got to be a record.

I recently attended an 8 day class for Caravan Initial at Flight Safety. Which counts as an IPC and a flight review. They gave me a sticker for my log book. But, I switched over to electronic logs at the first of the year. How do I enter instrument currency and flight review into ForeFlight? I...

I love the Corsair, it is my dream to some day fly one. I have a friend that owns one. I was excited for the movie, but it fell flat. I thought the acting was sub par, and the choice of actors was questionable. I turned it off after about 20 minutes.

I just started my retirement job, at just under 1000 hours, the insurance companies won't cover me in anything. I am told that I need minimum 250 hours in a PC12 before I'll be allowed to be PIC in that same PC12. I've been to Flight Safety for Caravan initial, insurance company says I'll need...

Who’s flying the orange and polished? That was rebuilt in my buddy’s shop. I did a bunch of work on it. It’s a great example of a 170.

We were hit with a laser coming into FSD a few weeks ago. We circled them and followed them all to way to where they pulled into a subdivision and parked, they continued to hit us with the laser. We were able to tell approach which house, on which road, and roughly the type of car. I doubt any...

For those of us that don't live in WA, its just a good reason to spend our time and money elsewhere.

What? Scrape FROST off the cylinder walls so the engine turns over easier??
