What a tragedy. I feel really bad for the employee's family, the flight crew, but most of all any of the passengers with window seats aft of that engine.

Yes, 172H, no notches, flaps in motion while switch is held in position - 0 to 40 degrees and back. I prefer notches though since that's the way my simulator is set up and I don't have to watch the indicator while holding the switch.

I like the cut of your sail! My CFI is always pointing out the fact that I am rolling out some flaps while still a bit above the white arc...

If you plead temporary insanity, and then get Dr. Chein's help - maybe it'll all go away. Just don't take any SSRI's for the temporary insanity thing. How about Part 135 stuff? Ferry pilot jobs? Pipeline?

Might be cheaper to just configure it for conventional landing gear.

The flight school I use specifically does not accept policies from Avemco. I don't understand the reasoning they provided. I have been using Assured Partners. Just last week our hull coverage had to be a minimum of $50K, but since AP only went up in round numbers I opted for $60K. My renewal...

Just for giggles last night I decided that I would try the demo of XP-12 again. I only tried it once, just long enough for the trial to time out while I was on approach. I started it up and it wanted to update. I figured that if I was going to make a buying decision on the software, it might...

Heh heh, yep. But I wonder if that could have been their primary trainer for ATP? Two pedals = required redundancy!

Ercoupe?

The AWOS at the airfield I train at (KGDJ) is not reporting to the internet. It doesn't show up in Leido's for flight planning. It is still available by phone and transmits VHF. The explanation given to me was a phone service "upgrade". Apparently the service used a cell data signal to...

Aha, one of the 5 planes that don't exist - but should! 5 Planes that SHOULD exist but don't - YouTube

I use Avare. I run it on a dedicated Samsung A7 Lite (8.7", $124). I also have it loaded on my Samsung S10e phone (refurbished, $138). As a VFR Student Pilot, it does what I need. Since the flight school updated their ADSB to the latest Stratus 3, I can use it for ADSB-in now. The only...

Well, Dan Gryder does seem to like taking the FAA and NTSB to task. Maybe he'd like to stir up some attention with this case too.

Thanks for checking that out for me. Runway 14/32 is now taxiway E. No tower at that airport. I was hoping that there was a reason to justify me buying XP-12, but from what I have seen in the You Tube videos, not much has changed but the weather effects and just a tad sharper, but no more...

If anyone is currently running XP-12, I wonder if you could do me a favor? Go to the taxiway at KGDJ (Granbury Municipal) and tell me what the runway designators are? The question is twofold - in XP-11, it shows 14/34. I pointed it out to them, but they were still in development of XP-12 and...

How about the radio panel - are you willing to break the bundle up? Anyone using the Saitek/Logitech rudder pedals may be interested in the Cessna and Piper upgrades offered by this chap: Cessna style rudder pedals Logitech G Saitek modification. | eBay I have the Cessna pedal mods, makes a...

I also used the ASA Test Prep book. I thought it was very thorough and I also liked the way it explains why the correct answer is, well, correct - and why the other choices are not. The online trial tests are very close the official one I took. An added bonus is that you can get an...

I like mine. A lot.

The ASA CX-3 is also allowed.

Thanks for providing that data. I did some research and it seems that I started my flight training about 18 months too late. If I had started earlier, I could have easily found 150s in serviceable shape for less than $20K, and equivalent 172's for only a little more. every time I see where a...
