It won't, but if you're bent on buying another plane, that doesn't have the same cockpit width that your current plane has , for a marginal increase in speed, and that you're thoroughly comfortable flying, then go for it. If you're married, your wife can have all the clothes and shoes and any...

If he was competent, he would never have been less than 11' AGL. That's enough information to make a judgment. Maybe he didn't set the altimeter, that's still incompetent. The only good thing is that his six passengers didn't die from terminal dumbass.

I just say what is consistent and well-understood. 6462C two-thousand, five hundred climbing for five thousand. I don't see why people have the desire to diverge for basic phaseology that everyone should already know. Because you think it sound's "cool?" You're pilots...grow up.

When the US changes to 8.33 Khz spacing there will three times as many frequencies as now and the issue should be mitigated a little. If you have a 430W or later, you have the capability. For the time being, you may use it for private Air-to-Air if you like. Unregulated frequencies are an...

Any CFI worth a rat's ass should encourage you to file both a flight plan and get VFR flight-following. It's cheap insurnace, that happens to be free.

Why treat the two any differently? If you'll file IFR, why not VFR?

Correct!

The MEA = Obstruction clearance + NAV Reception while the MOCA is only Obstruction clearance and Reception within 22 NM of the VOR stations defining the airway. You can fly above the MOCA, at appropriate IFR/VFR cruise altitudes all day long with a GPS and never have an issue. However...

I didn't read all the preceding relies, so this may be redundant. There's not a good reason not to file a flight plan. Phone, DUATs, IPAD Apps make it easy and all you need to do is call-up a nearby FSS outlet to open and close near or at your destination. Make it even better and get...

As dangerous as riding a motorcycle. Power loss under 500' - Best glide - Look for the best option within 45 deg. left ot right - At least you have some control. Too bad.

The G5 PFD is awesome and I'll add the HSI + GAD29 later this year. The basic PA-28 airframe gives pretty similar airspeed with only marginal improvements with HP increases (a 180 HP Cherokee is only marginally faster that a 150 HP Cherokkee), though there is an advantage in useful load at the...

They're all good books. If you're looking for a supplement to clear up questions from your prep software, the FAA books are very good, though not very entralling to Read. Rod's book is useful and entertaining...though a bit corny...so the humor tend to help the info stick. The focus for the...

Yep...what he said.

Yep...Cessna is dropping the Columbia line. It should have kept the Columbia name, Corvalis...TTS, WTF was that. Columbia made a great name and had a great rep, just bad finances. The plane is sweet and by far better to handle that a Cirrus. Just let your best single die and keep selling...

There is only one approach to RWY 17, an RNAV with an LPV DA of gets you down to 250' AGL and an LNAV that gets you to 507' AGL. The VDP for the non-precision LNVA is 1.7 NM from the runway threshold and this guy managed to hit a utility pole at roughly 11' AGL 2 miles from runway. That puts...

King KT-74 and TRIG units use the GNS WAAS position (ADS-B) out. Installed a KT-74 in '15 and works fine.

Hugo 3 out of JQF. You depart 02 or 20 and climb to the specified heading 016 for RWY 2 and "left turn to" 150 departing RWY 20, the GNS is showing SUSP. The procedure has you climb and stays in suspend until you activate the depature with the correct transition, but ATC will often clear you...

Better to query ATC that Google later, but the clue is TOP 2000'. No higher until cleared.

Solar grey for everyything except the windscreen glass.

Just select MPH in your foreflight when planning.
