Neat find. Looks to be "Steller Sea Lion Protection Areas"

It's possible I'm not understanding you correctly, but you can add multiple aircraft profiles: Menu/Setup/Select Aircraft/Create New Profile.

Throwing in my vote for iFly. I really like that it supports Android, iOS and even Windows.

There are some interesting items up for auction here, including a ride in a P-51.

From what I gather the current pilot job market is a bit thin, so I thought I would post these two positions for the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry that I came across: "Candidates should be current in single engine land airplanes at the time of application. The candidate will...

I've seen a turtle (actually aborted the take-off for that one) and just a few days ago, three raccoons, but thankfully no bear.

I wonder if Jeppesen reasons that they can't keep the private airports up to date as well as the public ones, so it's a liability for them to add them? Seems like it could potentially be a liability to not add them too though. I'm sure some discussion was had there that lead them to this...

I'm following up to myself based on information from the Avidyne forums. There's another user there who recently said: "How easy is it to get airports added to the Jepp database? I've notice that there are a lot of airports in my local area that are not in the database.", so I guess this is...

Didn't see anywhere to adjust that, but that would do it if that's an available setting. The airport filter section is set as follows: Runway Length: Any Towered Airports: Any Runway Surface: Hard/Soft Fuel: Any

I noticed when I was flying to get an oil change that my IFD didn't show an airport on the screen that both my Dynon and iFly did. It wasn't a display issue because the IFD wouldn't allow me to fly to the missing identifier. All three devices have the most current data. The ID is MS57, which is...

I've had a large number of SSDs at work fail over the years. The bad thing about SSDs, in my experience, is that they don't start making noises or throw warnings like rotational drives, they just immediately die. I have had pretty good luck with the Samsung's, but I make sure I have backups for...

I like to set my destination airport on the ground, then when I'm in the air and on on my way, I'll use direct-enter-enter instead of intercepting the original course. Are there pilots who intercept instead? I use this technique pretty often, even outside of the above example, where I might get...

Nice shots as always. I really like the Cardinal, it was at the top of my list until the Sierra fell into my lap for purchase. I wish they would have produced the NGP.

Not sure about the recent models, but quite a few older ones have been returned to service: N1223S, SR22 s/n 105 -- CAPS Save #1, repaired by Cirrus, sold, subsequently involved in a fatal accident CGEMC, SR20 s/n 1241 -- CAPS event #2, self-insured, repaired and still flying N916LJ, SR22 s/n...

I've owned three airplanes so far, a 152, a Beech Sierra and now a Bonanza. I didn't fly any of them prior to purchase, and the only plane I saw in person prior to purchase was the Sierra. I'm wondering how typical this is among owners.

2355 x 100 ft? I guess there can be a decent breeze most times which might help.

The GA accident trend doesn't seem to get worse with time, at least up to 2018.
