Guess why it was named A Patchy? Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

Later reports say it was a unpatched vulnerability in Apache.

Ahhh...but the Stratus display treats it as ground mode vs. Alt. If it's worKing right, that's relief.

My CFI says that the revised ADS-B rule says that the ADS-B OUT MUST STAY ON WHILE ON THE GROUND, which my new Stratus ES-1090 doesn't do by default. It goes into Ground mode and when you press ALT it says, "Press [ FUNCTION ] to override. I'll look for a firmware update to be coming.

Yes, it is. It's Class E airspace. You don't have to be Class B or Class C airspace for the test. If anyone has trouble getting the test flight verification, just email the address you get on the report. I emailed after the third attempt and shorty got a phone call from an actual, helpful...

TKM MX170? http://tkmavionics.com/our-products/mx170c-navcomm/

We once called from south of downtown over the lake and got, "What is your destination? You are cleared to enter the Bravo and fly direct." It was 1 AM. It was very strange to see that part of the city.

Old news? That means that the media and social messages can't keep up with Equifax's reactive responses to issues like data breaches and their own ill-thought-out responses to the responses to their reactive responses. Those damned barn doors keep opening! Thanks to Equifax the credit...

You're not from around here are ya? Chicago began actually answering VFR flibs only about 3 years ago. AFAIK, it's always "Maintain clear of Bravo," now unless it's 1 AM.

The flight was on Saturday.

It looked like the 2nd TFR was up north for the Wildcats. Wrigley would have been further south and not extend too far into the lake.

Yeah. When I got set up for a JFK, I was talking to Meigs tower, but I didn't have the idea to tell them it was trouble. I was mostly telling myself to avoid losing control and look at AI and the resist the urge to lock my arms on the yoke.

Kinda hard to do. The floor of the O'Hare Bravo is 3000 over the lake, and 2500 on dry land.

I just had no luck on my plan to have 3 or more tablets in the cockpit, because I need more time to hack on Garmin Pilot, and I haven't worked out the complete setup with RAM mounts. I had 2 Android tablets plus my Nexus 6 phablet to try on the flight yesterday but I need more ground setup time...

They are kissing each other and Sis is being great with him. Wilbur did great as an airplane passenger. He had a 1 1/2 hour flight from Grand Rapids, MI. Wilbur went right to the pile of toys and chew bones. He's still exploring his new forever home and back yard. He hasn't seen the lower...

Thanks, to TWO stadium TFRS popping up on ForeFlight, I took an unplanned tour of the Chicago cribs way out in Lake Michigan. It looks like it was Soldier Field and Northwestern. The last time I had to do this diversion, it was a hazy, hazy, hazy July 3. With no warning, Meigs tower said the...

Wilbur is home. He was a good flyer. He didn't barf or pee, but that was because I followed your advice and had his foster daddy hold off on giving him food and water. Thanks to Ed Fred for the great ground support! Flying wise, his was my first solo XC in years. I limped along with...

This breach should result in criminal charges. There is a system called PCI certification from the banks for credit card handling which has STRICT rules on how data has to be protected. i.e. the datacenters have to have security cameras and strict access controls. Equifax should get the death...

Two different stories. The call I got a few years ago was about the plane flying in Arkansas. FlightAware just picked it up on a flight from El Reno Rgnl (KRQO) to KRVS in Tulsa in OK.

I had a brain shower to put my very worn T-shirt in the crate so he gets his first heavy dose of Daddy-smell.
