Samuel, Ignore this. ^^^^^ You obviously want to become a man. You’re old enough, it’s time to start. Charlie, can’t you read between the lines of the original post, and why is it you’re afraid of a different POV?

Why? This kid needs to get out from under the smothering of his parents. He obviously knows it. He (and his parents) should read Rinker Buck’s book, “Flight of Passage” about how he and his brother flew across the country in a Cub, the OLDEST of them was 17. Within a year, Samuel will be...

You're correct, that's what the facility reps say. Last time I flew to a meeting with SoCal Tracon controllers I was dropped by SoCal due to workload saturation. That said, one of my favorite podcast, "Opposing Bases" is by two air traffic controllers, who are also rated pilots, they...

That's what I'm asking, is a 406 ELT as good as a SPOT?

So does a 406 ELT. You give your own name/number to call first, if you don't answer they call the next two names/numbers you supplied when registering. I suggest removing your ex-wife from the list if you get divorced.~~~

Is a SPOT more accurate or have a quicker response than a 406 ELT? I accidentally triggered mine while installing and got a call within 5 minutes.

The bing carburetors automatically adjust mixture, as you described, on Rotax 912 ULS engines. In a fuel injected 912is the engine ECU controls the mixture. Either way, there's no mixture knob. https://www.stockflightsystems.com/tl_files/downloads/emu912is/EMU912iS_Presentation.pdf

Does it still cost as much as ForeFlight?

Looks like the old Weather Channel app (not the new one in the app store, which is an abomination,) that was working again for the last 19 months, has finally come to an end. Doesn't even open on the iPad. What free or reasonably priced weather apps have you been using to supplement ForeFlight...

As most have said, self serve fuel is easy. Use ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot 100LL map overlay to find the best prices at acceptable airports (runway length/condition etc) then check the comments to make sure there's self serve and it's 24 hrs. On my trip CA-MA this Christmas I also checked with...

Last year my wife and I applied for CanPass July 28, was stamped approved on Aug 21, and received in mail Sept 6. You could get it in time.

Three cheers for Drew! After he finishes with the airlines, his third career should be as a camera operator. Then if he films someone on their first solo I'm sure he will get the shots of him exiting the plane, being congratulated by his instructor, and having his shirt tail cut off.

Anyone been to Stovepipe Wells Airport (L09) 16 miles NW? Sounds like a better runway.

Have a look at the runway condition comments on ForeFlight before you go, not encouraging.

+1, unless your objective is to learn Raspberry Pi. Used mine until I installed a new Garmin panel, worked perfectly.

I've only flown an SR22 twice, and it was comfortable, but this ad makes me appreciate the Lancair even more. Better speed, climb, and range at 1/3 the fuel burn. We've had AGL on the G3XT screen for years. If you introduce a new prop and you only talk about "ramp appeal" does that mean it's not...

Lancair. You could slow down to 150 knots if you like. Here’s one at your price point: https://www.barnstormers.com/ad_detail.php?id=1511125

Out of the snow and ice.

Thanks for the help, I found a private communal hangar at Westfield who has room during Christmas.

Solved (Hangar Found) Appreciate the help. I'll be visiting family in Granby, CT, Westfield and Amherst, MA for a week this Christmas and wondered if any of you knew of an available hangar. I'll start calling FBO's tomorrow, but you've all been helpful with similar requests in the past. We...
