The nickname for Embry-Riddle is Riddle, not Embry. ERAU '91 Daytona Everyone have a great day.

I appreciates ALL of the replies to my question. I guess I wasn't clear enough when I asked it. I know the 24 month pitot/static check w/xpdr is not within the scope of a C-172 100 Hour inspection. That's to say, the typical A&P is not usually equipped or trained to perform the 24 month IFR...

When an A&P does a 100 Hour inspection does that usually include checking the dates of the 24 month IFR Pitot/Static check and transponder? It's been a very long time since I last did a 100 Hour. I know I used to check the dates, but I was "the Maintenance Dept" for a tiny flight school and I...

I haven't turned wrenches in years as an A&P, but isn't checking the date on the transponder and the ELT, etc included in a 100 Hour?

You did the right thing because it worked out safely, if not comfortable for everyone. I am an A&P mechanic and your description of the problem tells me it is just a problem with the tach cable or the tach instrument. I would have gone back to where you started or a convenient and comfortable...

Thank you. I think the buyer is looking at other aircraft or delaying until warmer weather.

The aircraft is at Bowling Green, KY (south central KY) north of Nashville, TN Thank you.

Thank you.

A friend of mine thinks he has found a Grumman AA-1B nearby for $20k. It looks to have minimal radios and no ADS-B. I have just started looking at the Grumman Pilots Association web page and the Grumman Owners & Pilots Association web page. He wants me to look at it in a day or two. I need...

It's IMC from Departure to Destination. At some point in cruise your com radios quit. In the days before Foreflight, what altimeter setting do you use if you continue to original destination?

Yes, I'd consider a non-flying position. I mentioned CFI/II because when I was in aviation there was an endless need for CFI, CFI was one of the most common paths to move from Commercial license to something more permanent. I worked at FBOs during college in FL. I briefly worked as a...

I agree with you. I was trying to read the Kindle FAR/AIM last night.

I will look into an app solutions. I'm open to suggestions of which app also. Thanks

I will try that. I d/l the newest version to Kindle last night and was reading it. The Kindle version really comes up short compared to the paper.

If anyone uses a FAR/AIM on Kindle,which version of the book from Amazon works best for reference? I am using a Kindle Paperwhite. I love the device, but my success being able to use visual content like maps or diagrams on it is 50/50. That's never been a problem when reading book content...

Answer: At Va the aircraft wing will stall before exceeding structural limits.

Answer: When the compass is dry the compass card will bounce and move like a marble in a paint shaker.

I appreciate your point. EVERYONE says they respect that job, or the people doing it. NOBODY, present company excluded, acts as if they respect it. On the road you're treated as an obstacle, at customers you are treated as the next hassle in line, and socially you might as well admit to smoking...

I have more than 2.5 million miles, and almost 30 years, of experience in my former industry doing everything and working all areas of the country and every possible schedule. I hate it. What I hate about it is getting worse. Traffic, lack of safe parking, and public driving inability has never...
