Not the OP's but Googling around found this. If he's referring to the British organization, it's ATA, ATC was the US operation. https://www.amazon.com/Spitfire-Girl-Worlds-Greatest-Female/dp/1473895367

Lots of good flight schools in Florida. Cost of living maybe stick to Central Florida, Orlando area? West Palm Beach area is where I'm based and Palm Beach Flight Training is excellent. I live in Miami but the flight schools down here are very very crowded.

IIRC, I usually hear "maintain VFR" when flying practice approaches with a safety pilot/CFII or acting as a safety pilot. It makes sense in that context in that the controller's clearances along the approach are not permission to deviate from VFR.

Hey, we all know that the only REAL engineers are up in the cab of a locomotive!

I have held a lot of different jobs. Mostly blue-collar until I was well into my forties. Worked two years as a metallurgical lab technician at Pratt & Whitney's research facility in West Palm Beach. Years as a foreman in high-end composite shops. That was in the 70s. Got into construction...

I wouldn't drop them off near someone's house. I was going to take them to someplace like an airport. Where did you say you fly out of?

Just wanted to say well done! Well done!! (Funny how folks preface like that, isn't it?)

I have a couple mice in my house that I have not got around to catching. Lately, I keep my dog's food bowl (dry food) in the microwave and the bag of food in the dryer because those little suckers chewed through a thick plastic container I was using. I bought some traps and need to catch them...

If you are in South Florida, you can buy into my (cheap) airplane.

Sold to an aviator, not a watch collector, so that is good!

And to your point, the same column of air (barometric pressure) than be more dense or less dense at any given altitude. I would think.

Yes, it is the ideal gas law: PV = nRT edit: You can work that around to show the direct correlation: p (or P) = RrT where R is a constant and r is density. That tells us that, for a given pressure, temperature (in Kelvin) and density are inversely proportional.

A little information on that well-known, and often mocked (see above), but not prevalent, symptom of Tourette's. https://tourette.org/resource/understanding-coprolalia/

I did the cowl mod STC on a couple of Aztecs where you cut the lower cowl on each engine nacelle to facilitate removal. That one use the 4002 series camlocks which are probably too big for your application. The 2000 series, might be 2700 series something like that, are much smaller and might...

Spruce does want an N-number to sell you a GNX 375, though :-)

I have most of my last 500 or so hours behind a 430 / 430 W and I'm very comfortable with it. I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to aviation hardware and I'm not really keen on the concept of the touchscreen. But I don't have any experience with one. As far as far as flying GPS approaches and...

Practice that turn back (LOL - "impossible"). For me, in a C172, 600 feet AGL is my minimum to turn back.

Another option for close to the same money would be an new transponder and a used 430/430W. That gives me more functionality in the second radio and the nav radio so probably the better option.

So I just bought a basic airplane. An American Yankee AA-1. I'm going to need ADSB out and I don't think the Sky Beacon is an option. Maybe the Tailbeacon will be but I can go with a Garmin transponder ADSB out for $3K. ADSB in and out for $5K. If I was just going with the transponder I wouldn't...
