    What’s the best recipe for igloo A/C units

    The Arctic Air seems like a decent compromise solution, but I'd sure hate to give up the baggage space. It's also 42lbs in my CG sensitive plane, not to mention that the power draw and actual utility of it concern me a bit since I'd need the 14v model, limiting the BTUs I believe. I've heard it...

    User-Friendly Avidyne IFD540 Manual?

    I bought the electronic version of this: https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Avidyne-IFD-Scenario-Based-Course/dp/0997848820/ At the end of the book, there is a reference guide on how to do certain tasks, which I've printed out and keep with me on my phone. On one of the Avidyne webinars (or...

    Lost alternator in IMC

    Great job, it's a good reminder for us all to be vigilant, thanks for sharing. I'm trying to push through my instrument now and I'm glad to have the battery backup on the Dynon.

    What’s the best recipe for igloo A/C units

    A few weeks ago I bought a Glacier Tek sports vest. I've only had the chance to use it twice so far (once flying and once while mowing the yard), but I don't regret the purchase so far. The pre-flight lasted about 30 minutes in 94 degree temps with a heat index of 108. I was definitely sweating...

    Ranger Creek State Airport, north of Mt. Rainier

    Thanks for the video. Man that runway is much narrower than I anticipated from the first picture posted. Looks like it's listed as 30ft wide, which is equal to the narrowest I've ever done ( Airpark East outside of Dallas ), but not sure I'd want to do it in non-optimal weather.

    Assorted Airplanes this morning

    This makes me realize how bad I am at pointing out what other planes are on the ramp.

    FNG

    That $8.00 fuel would make my plane go twice as fast I bet.

    IFR Training - no motivation.....

    Timely. I just decided to try and finish up my IR and I've been studying constantly for the past week or so. Honestly I'm a little concerned that it's just a license to get myself in trouble. The weather here today:

    Avionics upgrade 1200 miles away.

    I flew three states away (Saint Aviation) for my Skyview install, no regrets. Jesse was significantly more responsive than the other parties I tried to work with before I pulled the trigger. I incurred some extra expense and inconvenience due to commercial flights, hotels and uncooperative weather.

    Saratoga lands on road.

    Not sure if this one has been posted yet; he's real lucky he got it down before the wires. Video in here: https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/lafourche-terrebonne/small-plane-makes-landing-on-highway-in-lafourche-thursday-morning/289-2d45eedf-1744-4f6d-8e88-4849b7931894

    Bonanza down in (Really) Western Kansas

    That's a sweet 172, and nice job by the pilot.

    Premier 1 driver reported to FAA by "pilot"

    On the next episode of "As the Prop Turns": A student pilot gets testy when a jet pilot bungles his radio calls, will the FAA throw the proverbial FAR/AIM at him? Tune in to find out.

    Premier 1 driver reported to FAA by "pilot"

    Is it okay to be disappointed in everyone? That's probably par for the course so far in 2020.
