What does it look like when sitting still on the ground?

It happened every Friday evening, almost without fail, when the sun resembled a giant orange and was starting to dip into the blue ocean. Old Ed came strolling along the beach to his favorite pier. Clutched in his bony hand was a bucket of shrimp. Ed walks out to the end of the pier, where it...

Response from the avionics shop manager, some parts removed that were not relevant: "The Garmin Navigators output a Dynamic GPSS (GPS roll steering ) where the Avidyne only has Static GPSS. What this means is that the accuracy of the Left and Right inputs to the G5s and autopilot are increased...

For some reason I have a craving for poutine?

There is more to it than just filing out nicks on a constant speed prop. The overhaul consists of disassembly, non destructive testing of the moving components for cracks and replacing the seals. I would do this at a minimum of when the engine is overhauled and especially do the prop governor...

I also really like the IFD540, replaced a Garmin 530 with it. This year we added two G5's and a GFC500 autopilot. Now we have discovered a glitch when shooting RNAV LPV approaches. The airplane routinely is 300 feet left during the final approach. Our avionics shop manager tells us it is a...

I used to own a Cessna 140 and did exactly that, simulated instrument without an AH. Initially did not have a DG either. You will learn to shoot approaches and critical phases with Southbound headings because of the lead/lag of a compass. It is much easier than flying on Northbound headings...

Nice response, thank you.

I watched the movie "The big Short" last night which is based on the near financial collapse of the Wall Street bank industry in 2007. Very good movie about the banking industry and the problems they created leading to mortgage bonds which nearly ruined our economy. And of course the taxpayers...

Doubtful they would have used an aluminum rivet in a hangar door.

Unfortunately I could not get the animated image to paste on the POA site. ‍ And yes it was entertainingly better!

And then have a big steak afterwards!
