    DIY Electronic Nerd Project Ideas for Aviation

    Probably too large a project, but I thought it would be cool to build a glass/steam combo. It would be covered by a couple of wooden "doors" that, when closed, would give the appearance of steam gauges (the doors would have holes in them and the screen would put representations of circular...

    Taking a deeper dive into maneuvering speed

    Interesting -- it looks like VB-750 applied to 1976 Lances (32R-7680001 THRU 32R-7680525) and VB-850 applied to 77 and 78 Lances (32R-7780001 THRU 32R-7880068). Since these were all straight tail, I wonder why they changed the POH. Also, the latest revision for VB-750 is 2015 but VB-840 hasn't...

    To me “pushing it” would have been continuing to land. I applaud Dana for breaking off the approach - that’s overcoming a lot of continuation bias. I think he mentioned flying a Mooney which is pretty slippery. If I’ve got my daughter with me and am flying something other than a trainer, I want...

    Vans Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    I hope they are able to make it through this. Seems to me that Vans makes a very deep and positive impact on folks who commit themselves to building a plane.

    Cessna P210 down near San Diego 11/15/2023

    Based on FlightAware, it does not appear that this plane has flown much recently.

    Do you call when you're the unknown traffic

    I'm guessing its pretty unhelpful to ATC when someone calls up and says that they are the traffic and they are actually not the traffic being referred to. For that reason, I either don't say anything or call up for flight following (without trying to "help") on the off-chance that I'm wrong.
