So do we get a new certificate with no expiration date listed?

Thanks. I'll get a new picture today with that other chip gone. I've owned it for 9 years and put 900 hours on it so it has held up reasonably well I guess... since I didn't do that repair.

Thanks. I am not sure if it cracked due to heat or perhaps a stone got kicked up into it. Hopefully it is not hard to rebuild the same shape and rim along the bottom.

What is the best way to fix this chip on my Dakota? Note that the small piece that looks like it is about to fall off, is no longer there. It was very loose and I have it (and most of the other one) in a ziplock bag.

Emergency takeoff. “Start the engine!”

KBIH Bishop, CA has one of these lines. Don’t cross it.

Get some time in the right seat so you could just sit over there and fly.

You are definitely below the MVA.

I just want to say that I am so sorry for your loss. Best wishes to you.

I think he would have still been in the air when it quit, but would have been able to make it back to airport property and possibly the runway. Never give up usable runway!

Great landing under the difficult circumstances. What is not in the report above, but is clear if you listen to the audio, is that he departed from 16 at intersection C, giving up about 4400' of runway. As a CFI, I tell my students to never do that. I am sure this fellow won't do it again either.

I’d be putting this in a 141 school so over TBO requires an overhaul that has to be factored into the price. Everyone tends to sell at TBO to avoid the immediate $40K cost.

Just so you know, I live about 6 miles NW of KRNO and my porch light is out. It’s about 8’ AGL. Also there is a bird standing on my roof. Try not to hit it. Do you think I should request a NOTAM be filed?

What it the thought process of the FAA forcing the oral and practical on the same day? In the summer, by the time the oral is done, the density altitude is too high to fly.

Fixed in v20.42 today!

I should have said northern Nevada. Yesterday they said today would be not so gusty but it was 5G15 for much of the day which beats the 15G30 that it has been.

You’d be waiting a long time for a checkride in Nevada if you wanted a day without gusty winds.

Well, it seems like a software bug. The software upgrade was done for free under warranty, but now to troubleshoot it, the dealer charges $150/hr and will only take me back to 20.24 "at my own risk". The only reason I bought the GAD 13 was to get wind on the map page of the 750xi. I guess I...

SO... I am getting wind and temperature on the G5 from the GAD13 so that part works. I am also getting wind on the wind page in the 750xi. The CAS must be coming from the G5, but before I installed the GAD13 this page worked via the temperature probe on the JPI830. Right now I am not sure where...
