    Ever seen a fuel pump that doesn’t accept Amex?

    I use the Samsung and Google equivalents (actually, they're better and have been along longer) all the time. Again, widely used in CA and in airports. Widely used internationally as well.

    Ever seen a fuel pump that doesn’t accept Amex?

    I don't think I've ever had an issue with a self serve pump taking AMEX, though I think the only one I used outside California (where AMEX is heavily used and widely accepted) was in Salina, KS. I've not had an FBO refuse AMEX either.

    PC 12 Down off of NC Coast

    The regs call for nothing of the type for a Part 91 flight. Lmao

    PC 12 Down off of NC Coast

    I read an ASRS report from a 182RG pilot who relied on the MRY ASOS, after tower was closed, to depart at night and found himself in cloud. He turned on the autopilot and climbed 500 fpm straight out until he was out. That is how you handle inadvertent IMC. I do not understand flying VFR into...

    the Turbo 182 is back in production

    It is overpriced. All new US built pistons are overpriced. That said, the financing is better than ever. Plenty of Cirrus aircraft are being financed. You'd be surprised at how creative the financing is. 182s are available with FIKI TKS.

    the Turbo 182 is back in production

    If only this said RG or 210 Would be nice if they built their good twins again.

    Making sense of the terminology: PBN, RNP, RNAV, AR, ...

    But that still means the chart needs multiple minimums.

    Making sense of the terminology: PBN, RNP, RNAV, AR, ...

    RNAV (GPS) approaches are supposed to be converting to RNP (GPS) nomenclature eventually, while RNP-AR approaches are supposed to be called just that at the same time. This is to standardize on ICAO phraseology. There are very few GPS approaches that are LP or LPV minimums only.

    Recommendations for Socal (KCRQ) - El Paso (KELP) - Enid (KWDG)

    FF is pretty readily available anywhere in the US - they want you to be talking to them when you are in their airspace. Phoenix used to an an exception, but they are much better about it now - especially if you're a transient in their airspace.

    Starting training again

    Folding gear and more power makes the Arrow more aerodynamic and faster, so you need more nose down.

    Why are ODPs not required in IMC?

    I do if there is one. I get SIDs particularly out of several Class C and D airports. STARs less often, but also. YTZ is a good example of that.

    Why are Bonanzas so cheap?

    Magnesium is available, it is just expensive. Textron initially announced they'd stop making them, but started again. They are still very expensive. The problem is that no one has found a way to make them from aluminum and stay light enough with the requisite strength. There is a very good...

    Bose Deal!

    I've definitely tried them and hate them. YMMV

    Why are Bonanzas so cheap?

    I forgot about the older E225 models with electric props. Those are apparently really a great prop, but th parts are hard to get

    Flying a putt-putt plane into KMDW

    Signature advertises a price for 100LL, but seems to frequently not have it. Unfortunate, because I prefer them to Atlantic (especially on weekends with the 50 cent discount). I flew into MDW VFR in an Arrow. It was no big deal. The more expensive gas is worth not needing to get an Uber from...

    Bose Deal!

    Lol, no. Yeah, cause heavier, inferior ANR and downgraded audio are totally what to buy!

    Why are Bonanzas so cheap?

    Straight tail Bonanzas - both 4 and 6 seaters - have exploded in price. V Tails have been cheap for a while, but especially since the Ruddervators got rare.

    Kobe Bryant dead in helicopter crash

    That's what happens when you combine a very serious VFR into IMC incident, with a high profile person on board, combined with several kids, and add police misconduct to the mix. No

    GA recommendation for Miami?

    If you're instrument rated, it would probably suit you better to fly into MIA IFR

    Starting training again

    Piper nosewheel steering is basically the next best thing to having a free castering nosewheel
