Did Ford get a phone number to call at HHR last week? If not, and he wasn't famous, that'd be the end of it. If he did, wouldn't really matter if he's famous. I agree with N1120A re TMZ.

One Must See Private Airport is Monument Valley. They want to verify you know the procedures and that you have insurance before granting permission to land, but they're very friendly and accommodating. They'll give you a ride from airstrip to the hotel/restaurant if you like.

If you're a large guy, Ben, an LSA might not be for you. I flew a Sling 2, LSA, with 530 lbs useful load, which with two standard weight pilots still left more than seven hours of fuel. When I took my IFR checkride, the DPE wasn't slim, so I had to make sure I didn't have more than 20 gals (5...

I agree, that looks dangerous, what kind of LSA is that? Obviously, I wasn't talking about any cranium crushing type of LSA.

Just to give a different POV: IF... you're primary purpose is to build hours and, you're mostly going to be flying solo. Consider an LSA, -Yes, you're only flying 120 kts, but at less than 4 gph. Mogas. Slower means more hours, right. -Up front cost may be higher, but if you get the right...

Here's another informative one from an epidemiologist who helped eradicate smallpox: https://www.wired.com/story/coronavirus-interview-larry-brilliant-smallpox-epidemiologist/ The first paragraph reads: LARRY BRILLIANT SAYS he doesn’t have a crystal ball. But 14 years ago, Brilliant, the...

Thanks. Why not the iPad? I find the bigger screen easier.

Honest question: Do you pilots find FF that useful on the phone? Maybe if you have one of those Plus Pro Max iPhones. Even though I have FF on the phone, it's really just a second backup if both iPads go south. In IFR training, having two iPads working at the same time was super helpful for both...

We are, but this is a link to videos. Thought we were world class in that sport.~

We can grouse about the overall cost (I've got IFR, U.S. and Canada, so it isn't cheap,) or lack of features, but three devices for a single pilot seems fair. Let's not be like those who took advantage of LL Bean and Brooks Brothers' return policies when they used to be generous. I like having a...

A20's are excellent but on a long (LA to NY) cross country I swap in Clarity Aloft In-Ear headsets for a couple hours in the middle of the flight. They also become irritating after a while, but differently. There's an extra powered jack for the left seat in my plane so I can leave the backup...

What manufacturer AOA is that? Garmin AOA adds more lines to the top of the display: green, yellow, then red as one gets closer to stall. This works opposite.

Or CHT/EGT probes, even easier.

I will appreciate that. My wife is working in Vancouver for the next six month and it’s possible I’ll visit.

Glad to hear. Give us I pirep and let us know your cross border experiences. Both directions.

My plane has 2” N-numbers and Vector bills me everywhere from SMO to HTO, I’m thinking they use ADS-B by now.

I received two erroneous SMO bills from Vector, one time I was charged for two landings when I'd made only one, (also, the weight listed was nearly double the AUW of my plane.) The other was for a day I was nowhere near SMO. Both times I gave them a call and the issue was resolved within a...

I wouldn’t put a lot of stake in the safety of CFI’s or people older than you, Sam. I personally knew two CFI’s, one was giving the other a BFR, who perished from some poor decisions including doing spins in a plane not rated for it and failing to arm the parachute before T.O. Their combined age...
