    Any experts in X-plane?

    Just curious. What's the benefit of using Flyinside when X-plane 11 has built in VR? Or are you using an older version of X-Plane?

    Unusual Attitude in IMC during IFR Checkride?

    I was talking with a friend who told me that his examiner put the plane in an unusual attitude in solid IMC conditions during the instrument check ride. 1000 ft overcast and at one point the pitot iced over. Has anyone ever heard of or had an examiner do that?

    100 Hour vs Annual Inspections and Airplane Purchase

    Clearly my question was the result of my misunderstanding that 100 hour inspections were conducted instead of annuals in commercial operations, which I realize now is incorrect. Thanks for your patience. :)

    100 Hour vs Annual Inspections and Airplane Purchase

    Hypothetical question. If one were to buy an airplane for personal flying from a flight school that just had a 100 hour inspection, when would the annual inspection be due? In 100 hours or immediately?

    How much longer to fix the 737 Max

    There was an interesting episode on the Airplane Geeks podcast on the 737Max8 issues which included two pilots who flew them. There were some eye opening points they made. One of the things that stood was a comment that there apparently was still some uncertainty at Boeing about whether the MCAS...

    Why do CFIs discourage midfield crosswind?

    Actually Tim, to point out the obvious, the 4th word of your 1st post is "stupid". What's more incredible is your comment expressing frustration with such topics becoming a "pizzing contest" since you literally are the one who started it in that direction with your accusation that my motivation...

    Why do CFIs discourage midfield crosswind?

    In your sketch there is no default calm wind runway, or there is but one of the planes is choosing the wrong runway, correct?

    Why do CFIs discourage midfield crosswind?

    I have no idea why you would jump to that conclusion. Is it just that you give such little thought to things that you assume the other person must be doing something wrong?

    Why do CFIs discourage midfield crosswind?

    It has nothing to do with saving time. My point it there is no traffic at midfield but flying a crosswind from the opposite side puts you right in the path of departing traffic while climbing and may not have a good forward view.

    Why do CFIs discourage midfield crosswind?

    For the last couple of years, CFIs I've flown with (instrument, commercial and IFR currency flights) seem to have the same response when I announce that I'm going to cross at midfield to join the left downwind. Without fail they proclaim some variant of "it's probably better to just join a...

    CT/Southern MA/Eastern NY Pilots?

    CT-Flyer, I learned to fly at 4B8 so have fond memories of flying in through the notch! Currently I fly out of Northampton (7B2) and Skylark (7B6). Both great airports. Pancake breakfasts at 7B6 are the norm on certain weekends. It's a great little airport with old country charm. New runway...

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    I've driven my Tesla Model S 1600 miles from Minnesota to the east coast and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The Supercharger network is fantastic and allows you to go anywhere in the USA. Of course it takes longer than driving a gas powered car, but then again it also affords you a new and...

    King KX155 display out after intermittent operation

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Ray, do you mean in the connectors in the back of the radio that slide into the tray or the ones that connect the screen to the radio?
