Ok, this is new and stupid. It makes no sense that having fuel prices selected on the map should lead to the FBO info coming up when I click on an airport. The FBO page is probably the least used tab of all so whoever thought it show by default under any circumstance is nuts. I've also noted...

Thanks for all the great suggestions! Hish

Did anyone else notice that when clicking on an airport on the map, the default is to go to the FBO information. This means you have at least two extra clicks to get to what you really want (Airport runway info or Weather). Also, the formerly intuitively named weather Forecast tab was renamed...

Are there any issues with getting an ADS-B waiver/deviation to ferry an airplane out of the DC FRZ? The ADAPT system approves it but I'm wondering if I'm missing anything? Would prefer not to get shot down. Thanks, Hish

The new vref tries to do too much and ends up being close to useless. I'll just put it out there...I'll take ANY Aztec or other airplane off someone's hands if they'll give me $88,000. Any takers...?

As I understand it, GPS location can sometimes have errors for a variety of factors and WAAS uses fixed ground stations of known location in order to calculate a correction the GPS signal. My question is where is the error correction processing done? Do the ground stations correct the GPS...

I dunno. I did a Vref for a flying, in annual, Piper Aztec with the engines at TBO and got a Vref value of -88,000.

Yes, but that's very different from your own country not allowing you to enter. A U.S. Citizen cannot be denied entry into their own country absent circumstances not relevant to this discussion.

Does anyone know if it's possible to make GA flights between the US and Canada and what restrictions may be in place? More importantly has anyone here made such a flight recently? Are the regular ports of entry operational in Canada?

I appreciate everyone chiming in. Thanks.

Hi All, I just took our plane to have a Pitot Static/Transponder test done by an outfit that I haven't used before. I was quoted $350 flat for the service. When I got the invoice, first, they charged me $425 for the 91.411 and 91.413 checks and on top of that additional $325 for tightening an...

People have said it enough times already but....myflightbook.com Has everything you want. Nothing you don't.

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who does the altimeter/transponder checks in the CT, MA or Eastern NY area? Our plane is based at Northampton so any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Hish

Digging a little deeper I see that there are 2 definitions of solo time in the regs. 61.51d defines logging of solo time. "a pilot may log as solo flight time only that flight time when the pilot is the sole occupant of the aircraft" This would mean total solo time or 337 hours in my case...

Yes, STEC30 has altitude hold. We have one in the Cherokee Six.

My CFI and I don't disagree about what solo time means. We disagree about what kind of solo time they are asking for in IACRA. It may not matter, but my Solo time I listed on IACRA for the instrument rating and Commercial SEL was in the hundreds. Wouldn't it be weird if I now said it was only 13...

Exactly! I did my required complex time in an Arrow but when it came to the rest of the training and check-ride, I did it in a C150. Why make things harder with a bunch of fiddly knobs and levers?

A question for the CFIs... I'm filling out IACRA for my Commercial MEL add-on. In the section where it asks for solo time, I entered 337 hours because that's what I have as of today. My CFI sent it back to me for correction saying that they are only asking about solo time before becoming a...

I don't think it's a huge deal but I also wouldn't call up and say "Kennedy Approach, N1234S with a VFR request." I just give them my callsign and wait for a response. I think it's more courteous to a busy controller to leave out the "with a request" because: -It's quicker -They already know we...
