I just renewed ours. I couldn't find any purely online method. Completed the forms on the gov website, printed the completed forms, and mailed them with checks. New passports arrived in about 5 weeks. Old passports were returned a week or so later.

Ah, as in more than the 172, not because of damage. Got it.

My 6XT had extensive damage to the lower surfaces when the first owner had a rough time trying to land at a ski resort. About 140 hours on the airframe when this occurred. It was repaired by a certified Piper repair center (Beegles) and was fully documented. All new Piper parts/paint. Lycoming...

Opinions appreciated. So it looks like the transponder (certified and used) is being listed for about $2,450 on other sites. And the 3i is typically priced about $375-$400. This is the entire kit minus the external GPS antennae. I'm guessing it's worth listing at $2,950 and take the "best...

Apologies for violating the rules.

Ad removed until I can determine price.

Ah, yes. You are correct. I recall having this issue when I first had to deal with Garmin. I had the non-WAAS 430s.

That will allow you to download the obstacles and terrain databases. If you need NAV you'll need the Jeppesen Skybound programmer as well. I have both, but no data cards. DM me if interested in both. I'm unwilling to sell them separately.

In South Texas AC is worthwhile on the ramp in hot months. Piper POH says to shut off AC when taking off and landing (for possible go arounds). My Cherokee 6XT has a sensor that automatically disables the AC when at full power. I switch it off once I enter the runway and it blows cool air for...

I've replaced my Garmin units with IFDs. The used Garmin 430 units with their data cards quickly found a buyer. I still have the Garmin USB Aviation Data Card Programmer and the Jeppesen Skybound device. No more data cards. The buyer didn't ask and I didn't think to offer them to him as well...

It was LiveATC. I mistakenly thought they received a live feed directly from ATC. Since I cannot listen to what happened... I can watch the track of the commercial flight they were on, but don't know how to see the other aircraft. Is there a way to see an archive of all flights at that airport...

OK, thanks for clarifying. Just thought it odd that it ended when it did.

Today my daughter and her family were flying commercial and on final when the pilot aborted and performed a go around. The captain announced a near miss with a small aircraft. I can see the track on FlightAware and thus determine the exact time of the incident. All of the recordings of the...

I had a mild case of COVID in October. Symptoms were much like bronchitis without a fever. Felt crummy for about 8 days with a slow but full recovery over the next three weeks. I'm 65 yo and I'm in reasonably good health. Had both Pfizer shots but not a booster as it was scheduled for two weeks...

Thanks for all the advice.

This is my first major avionics upgrade. The quote doesn't mention credits or who "owns" the older stuff. I'm assuming I get to resell it, but I'd like to know what's normal operating procedure for the industry. Is the avionics shop assuming they get anything they replace and it's baked into the...

I signed a quote in November to send my Entegra PFD and MFD in for repairs and start 3 years of warranty (AeroPlan). It was about $6,600. That's just the Avidyne service and not the removal/install/config. They plan to remove the Entegra units in a week or so. I was told it would take 2-3 weeks...

I had completed about 8-10 IMC flights during training and was getting pretty arrogant about my awesome ability to avoid spatial disorientation. Every training maneuver my CFI threw at me to induce disorientation was ineffective as I was immune to it. And then it happened. We took off and...

Once I earned my PPL and bought a plane, friends (and even people I'd only met once) began asking me to take them up. My personal rule is to be rather non committal and wait until they ask at least one more time. That seems to weed out the casual requests. So far I've only flown with a handful...

Absolutely not! :) It would have almost doubled my insurance premium and added only about 5 knots. I have thought about mounting a fake gear lever and see if my passengers notice! I really enjoy flying my Cherokee 6XT. I bought one with air conditioning to encourage my family to fly with me. In...
