    Best online headset retailers

    All legit entities. Pick the one with the fastest and/or cheapest shipping. Or order from Sportys for a chance at the free airplane. I have ordered from all of those sites and received excellent service every time.

    How do I correctly file for a CMF IFR flight?

    Just to be precise (nay, pedantic), it is not a fake aircraft.

    Used Airplanes. Lessons learned?

    Sounds to me like the seller is trying to be cute. You do a pre-buy, which generally not as detailed as an annual. Agree to buy the plane and, hey, it's already opened up, I will get it annualled and dammit - lots of stuff needs fixin, maybe even some airworthiness items. But all that is then...

    It's Official: Cirrus Accident Rate Plummets And Flying Magazine Reveals Why

    I would argue that it is the standardized training that is making the difference, not the chute. Cirri have ALWAYS had the chute. It is in the past few years, however, that COPA (and I assume the factory) have taken a much more aggresive pro-training stance. This is reminiscent of the reaction...

    How do I correctly file for a CMF IFR flight?

    I set up a separate aircraft profile on my Fltplan account (I now do the same with Foreflight) with CMFxyz as the N number (obviously replacing xyz with the appropriate digits/letters) and file accordingly. I file with my CMF N-number profile for the Angel Flight leg,only. Never had a problem...

    Help! Whittling down between SR20/22 vs M20M vs TB-20/21

    I have no dog in this fight. Nor do I have a ton of experience in most of your choices. Typical internet know-it-all jackass. BUT at least I admit it! Trinidad - always liked 'em. I have only sat in one. Liked the comfort and vis. Performance specs seem promising if not world-beating. If you...

    1st rental maintenance issue, what say you?

    Ahh Jesse. Don't ever lose your Midwestern sense of fairness. Your decision process seems eminently reasonable to me. I am sure there are scads of a-holes here on the east coast who would argue with you, and demand that you buy them a new Yukon Denali to compensate you for their troubles.

    VFR into controlled field.. Who closes flight plan?

    You must not fly between Philly and Boston very often. I have been dropped many times. Usually it is NY Approach who won't take the hand-off. Then you are on your own. I usually get the apologetic 'You can try the next guy on xxx.xx, but for now squawk VFR.' The next guy wouldn't take a handoff...

    Forced landing? Be prepared to pay the DOT

    Let's say a United jet does that. Would United get a bill? Methinks not.

    New AC-130 Ghostrider A Total Loss After Departing Controlled Flight

    How about some props to the pilots for recovering? Must have been quite a wild ride there for a bit.

    Why are we building a new bomber?

    I will only note that any screed that invokes the Rothschilds in reference to today's global economic system is merely recylcling dated anti-Semitic nonsense. And now, back to the Spin Zone bomber thread.

    The airport was there first....

    Howzabout eminent-domaining every house within, say, a 5 mile radius from the airport? For their safety, of course. Might get them to STFU.

    You lost me at 'intelligent discussion'.....;)

    If you HAVE to shoot an approach, would you choose an ILS or an LPV?

    I don't often fly instrument approaches to the ground, but when I do, I fly LPV....
