    Smartwatch Pulse/Oximeter Question

    I love my Apple Watch (7) for many reasons, O2 measurement in plane is not one of them! I tried dozens of times but only succeeded once! any slight vibration means it starts its 'I need 15 seconds' again. Sort of impossible in a Cherokee. I revert to the fingertip thing on every flight. Oh well.

    where to go for accelerated ifr?

    contact these folks. No idea how they deal with DPE issues these days, that wasn't a thing many moons ago when I did mine.

    It will probably be first time ever where a plane owner can sue a vehicle driver for a collision during a plane crash..

    Suggestions for advanced training (SW US)

    Partial solution (just for the instrument bit) - https://www.iflyifr.com/10-day-ifr-course/, I did mine with them many many years ago, their instructors are older, multi thousand hour and not 'running off' to an airline.

    Primary vs Advisory EMS

    I put in a cgr30P and very pleased. It is indeed locked by the factory, but you can send it back in the future and they will reconfigure (or add features) for approx $400. Their support has been excellent.

    What questions to ask when buying first plane/LSA?

    38 years later, same feeling (probably the main reason I almost bankrupted myself to buy a plane!)

    Oil Pressure

    same o360 A4a as OP; high 50's during taxi/idle - mid to high 70's in cruise. All normal. I think 'we' notice it more now that most (?) have some sort of digital engine monitor, previously, ignorance was less stressful!

    Nellis Aviation Nation 2022

    Oh and.... Dont take the Uber to the Nellis gate, you won't be allowed in! Only way in this year is by bus from the motor speedway. (first bus 0800)

    Nellis Aviation Nation 2022

    nearest airport is kvgt and a non unreasonable Uber ride. VFR into it, 2 options; stay on FF from Phoenix and once Socal hands you to LV, they'll vector you all the way to KVGT, alternatively, come over the lake, call Nellis and ask for the 'El Cortez' arrival (but make sure you've studied the...

    Another post about how awesome it is to be instrument rated..

    not 30,000 hours (just over a third..), but, without fail (!), every single time I pop out on top, I remember how much I love flying. That feeling never went away.

    Best places for cheap hangars?

    A short drive from your current location in Las Vegas; Sandy Valley airpark, all mobile (manufactured...) homes, under or around 250k. I almost bought there but chickened out and my poor plane now lives in what the county run North Las Vegas airport laughingly call a 'shade hangar'.

    CGR-30P vs EDM-900

    Just to clarify, William doesn't need to scroll as he installed the CGR30 combo which is 2 instruments. I got stingy and only installed the single CGR30P, hence my need to button push.

    CGR-30P vs EDM-900

    the 275 was introduced just after I installed the CGR30P - it does indeed have a better screen. Would I have made a different choice had it been available? I don't think so; being able to phone EI and speak to a knowledgable person instantly and ask innumerable stupid questions which all got...
