Had to leave my airplane (Piper Arrow) at Gulf Shores (JKA) on Saturday when it wouldn't crank. I'm guessing an ignition issue. Unfortunately I'm based about 110NM away or I'd have my A&P look at it. So I'm going to ask one of the two maintenance shops on the field to look at it when they open...

From my installation 1.5 years ago in a 1968 Piper Arrow: GMC 507 (GFC 500 control head)—0.82 lbs Roll servo—1.73 lbs (I think includes mounting shelf) Pitch servo—1.73 lbs (again, I believe includes mounting shelf) I didn’t have the trim or yaw servos installed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I can't speak to his insurance requirements, but if the annual inspection on his airplane was less than 100 hours ago, he's good to go on the required inspection.

Had to swing mine last year due to a significant avionics upgrade. Had the results included in the logbook sticker so it's easily reproducible if the one in the airplane is lost or becomes illegible.

I've had helicopter flight instructors come to me with the written already done. The FIA can be taken without an endorsement. The AFA requires an endorsement. So it was helpful for my previous trainees that wanted the written out of the way before beginning training with me. Also, if you choose...

Yes. However, one could also take the FIA if already an instructor in a different category. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not exactly what you were asking, but keep in mind an endorsement is required to take the AFA. The FIA doesn't require it.

It certainly sounds as if ForeFlight plans to work on a Flight Stream transfer of holding patterns, at least for GPS units that support holds. Here's a quote from the iOS App Store description of the 13.5 update. "ForeFlight does not yet support sending holding patterns to connected avionics via...

Like TommyG said. Get an independent instructor and explain what you’re looking for. Cuts out the middle man and prob saves money. Shouldn’t be too hard to find a CFII with Arrow time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same here, earlier this year did a complete avionics upgrade with a Garmin stack. My GPS came with a free update. Additionally, each item came with a few free months of Garmin Pilot. Ended Up with over a year and a half of a Garmin Pilot for free.

I can’t believe all of you that have tried to taxi with the chocks in. Don’t you do a final walk around? Isn’t it obvious that they’re still there? Wow! Now I have tried to taxi with the tail still tied down. :)

I do in my Arrow. And I also adjust 1.3 x Vso for weight. 1.3 x Vso with full flaps at gross weight is approx 82mph and I usually cross the threshold at 75mph at the weights I typically fly.

I was monitoring our local approach control (Cairns) and a flight of Chinooks was receiving advisories. At one point, Cairns attempted to call the Chinooks multiple times to advise of traffic. It was probably the 5th attempt when the Chinooks finally responded. At that point, you could tell the...

I’m in southern AL and use 20W50 year round. Good for our hot summers and also my trips to the midwest during winter.

Wow! Gorgeous!

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^ Several posts have addressed the difference in students. But this paragraph needs to be emphasized too. You will most likely be unfamiliar with the administrative side of being a CFI. The advice to find a mentor is spot on. Find an experienced CFI that has trained many students...

Not counting my full-time flying job or the part-time CFI gig. Personal flying/my airplane typically 90-120 hrs per year. Probably 90% of the time the flights are greater than the 60NM you specified.

My GAD29B is in the tail. Piper Arrow.

CONGRATS !!!
