    Best Info on COVID-19 I have seen. Please read

    I watched the entire video, found it very interesting. Thanks for sharing it! He does an excellent job of putting this into context. We're not dealing with another Spanish Flu type pandemic! The public needs to relax, stop hoarding supplies, and stay off social media!

    GTX 345 Failure

    My altitude encoder went tango uniform, I don't remember if I got an error message or not. I did get a letter from the FAA letting me know that my ABS-B had failed.....this was a couple years ago.

    Passed Checkride!!! Now deciding between Renting DA40 G1000 or Cirrus SR20 G6

    When I was shopping for my first plane I had the DA40 on my short list. I flew one, and loved the way it flew. But, it just didn't have the useful load I needed. If I remember it's really a 3 person plane.

    Cheap Avgas?

    I've been flying about 5 yrs, I've seen auto gas go up and down during this time. But, avgas at my base has stayed pretty much the same, and when I look at avgas prices around the state, the lowest priced avgas is about the same price and location as it was 5 yrs ago.

    Flying the Caribbean (Part 4) - to South Caicos -- Ever been in a Holding stack with 2 airliners?

    Nice video. The landing fees are crazy! I've flown to the Bahamas a couple times, we've never had landing fees. Avgas isn't cheap tho.

    For Sale King KI206 and directional gyro

    Yes, worked perfectly. I really didn't use it much, so when I did the new panel they asked if I wanted to keep it or not. Not sure I made the right choice, but it's out.

    For Sale King KI206 and directional gyro

    I talked to the guy that did my panel work, he said he didn't remove the KN-63 when he did the work. My plane is in for annual right now, so he'll take a look at it, if it's easy to remove he'll do it. I'll know next week.

    *Big* Step-Up Planes?

    I purchased my Trinidad as a student pilot with about 15 hrs of time in a 172. I got my HP, complex and retract endorsements, and did most of my solo time as a student in my Trinidad. I did take my PPL practical in the 172 though, which I almost had to re-learn. I found it easier to land the...

    Airplane camping on the Bahamas Out Islands?

    We've been to Eleuthera, Cat and Long Island's, we've never had a problem at any of them. From what I've been told, most of the crime in the Bahamas happens in the higher population centers. Arthur's Town airport has no security, gates are always open. We did stop at the police station and told...

    Alternative headset system for aviation

    When we do fly 4, both my kids (20&23) are almost always listening to there own music thru there Beats bluetooth in the ear headsets. Sometimes they have the aviation headsets over the top, but usually not. Frustrating when I want to talk to them, but 9 time out of 10 they fall asleep anyway.

    10 Day Instrument

    Good Plane Living youtuber just did the 10 day accelerated IFR course in Cloquet MN. He has a series of youtube videos about it. Seems like it worked out well for him. I, on the other hand opted for the opposite, I completed my IFR with about a week left before my 2 yr written expired! If you...

    CMW CQ1 in ear headset

    I received my CQ1 headset yesterday. Shipping was prompt and they look well made and sturdy. Quality of the cords seem a little better than my QT Halo set, and I do like the length of the mic boom. I also ordered two sets of Comply ear tips, a large and a medium. I'll try the large set first...

    Lance, Rockwell 114, or TB20?

    There are several TB20 owners in FL. Join socata.com, most owners are more than happy to show off what they have. One common complaint on the TB series is headroom, the Gen 1's especially. I have a Gen 1, I'm 5'10" and have no problems, my son is about 6'1" and also doesn't have a problem...

    Lance, Rockwell 114, or TB20?

    When I started my search for a plane I/we wanted a low wing, and it had to have 2 doors. I'm claustrophobic and having to climb into a cockpit with no door next to me just wasn't going to work for me. TB-20 was on my short list, along with DA-40 and SR-22. I didn't know much about the 114's and...
