    C172 "belly landing" at KSDL

    Congratulations to your brother on his first emergency well handled! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Glad he had this problem so early in his training. It can only make him a better pilot.

    Ban request

    I believe the last day of the second month. And it expires at night time. (pick any one of the 3 night-time definitions from the FAA)

    Microsoft HoloLens 2

    How are they planning to simulate the Gs? Especially in a Cobra maneuver? :D

    Some humor for today...

    They need something to do in the cockpit! Otherwise they'd fall asleep bored. And since they are pilots and thus likely socially awkward, they can't talk about anything else but flying and airplanes. So there, you get the CIGs, WND and that's it. Shut up, strap in, clap after a nice landing and...

    Fltplan Go dropped approach procedures

    You're not the first one (nor the last one) to have problems with downloads in that app. I too see downloads dropped or just not updated after a lengthy download. The sure fire way to update your data (charts, procs etc) is to delete all, restart app and download needed data from scratch. So...

    Your first solo IMC flight after passing checkride

    My first solo IMC was on a rescue pup flight with a student pilot (to see the real world part of flying outside of the traffic pattern). We got into some benign warm layers in the winter, had an instrument malfunction, dealt with it, used ATC's help, landed safely. I didn't think about it during...

    Icon A5 lands on river causing inadvertent fire department response

    So we can sum this up to two point: 1) The fire chief thinks he's God and bans legal water landings on the river. 2) The pilot is a ***** and agrees to not do what's perfectly legal. I wonder how the fire chief could enforce #1 if #2 wasn't an issue. LOL

    Congratulation Jack on the cover of Cessna Owners Magazine

    You have to give them green paper first before they mail you their Cessna-covered paper back.

    "Spoofed" N-number -- who ya gonna call?

    ^^^^ That Happens a lot. More than you think and expect. You just happened to see it on one tail #. We are all humans, pilots and ATC. We all make mistakes. This is likely just a silly mistake. If it starts happening regularly in the same area, it would raise an eyebrow. Otherwise usually just...

    New Member New airplane owner 0 time Insurance?

    Contact AOPA Insurance. No, they are not an insurance company. But they will find you an underwriter. No, you do not need to be an AOPA member to give them money. No, you do not have to have N number of hours to get insurance. That's an OWT. Somebody's lying to you. I was in your situation...

    Pilot Survival Tips

    "This here is a 'murken fohty-fahv ... a half-inch bullet". That's some fancy Okie math right there! :) I liked the ninja moves with the knife. If I was standing in front of you, I would definitely run off scared. Mission accomplished! :D

    KLN 94 Install Cost

    The OP didn't pose a question "why do you hate this particular GPS?". He asked about installation costs. So to answer the actual question: between 1 and 1.5 AMU. Of course be prepared for the mechanic to find things wrong behind the panel because it is an old airplane and surely has issues. So...

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    Thanks, i figured out the planes but had no idea why the funniless caption. Without your reference to the not-so-popular band, I would have been scratching my head still now. :)

    Super Bowl LIII

    You really didn't miss much. The score should tell you how pitiful it was this year. :( I think the halftime show went hand-in-hand with the actual game. A big yawn, huge disappointment and sense of wasted time. This year's Superbowl will go down in anals of history. (see what I did there?)
