    G1000/GTX345 Traffic Fail

    Obviously it's written in Java. And it's total BS.

    'obsolete' G1000 - how big of an issue?

    One issue people are forgetting is that the TC also includes version number limitations. So there may be thousands of G1000 PFD's available, but the specific version on the TC hasn't been made in many years. So when Garmin decides to quite fixing older components, owners are SOL even if it's...

    Air Fryer

    So someone tell it to me straight - is an air fryer basically a fancy convection toaster oven? Because I already have one of those.

    Yeah, the cush drive helps keep down the chatter on pavement.

    Glass or steam?

    STC glass is the best option. Don't leave it up to the plane manufacturer to control your avionics! Cessna has stopped supporting older avionics and many (including myself) are stuck with ancient versions of software that can't be upgraded along with disappearing hardware that can't be replaced...

    Now, BLM is after strips in Utah! Send emails!

    # is the number sign. I don't know where pound or hashtag came from. I submitted a message to keep the remote airstrips. Someday I'd love to visit them!

    Who can inspect and annual an experimental?

    I'm planning on building a Silverlight Aviation AR-1c gyroplane. When I contacted them, they mentioned they had one for sale that was already built. That led me down the path of finding out what the requirements are to perform my own annuals, as I live in the middle of nowhere (aviation...

    Student pilot flying with Private pilot

    I let my 6-yo fly and he can't even see out of the front windshield.

    Who can inspect and annual an experimental?

    Ah, good question. It looks like it falls under E-LSA.

    Who can inspect and annual an experimental?

    My big fear is that the inspector won't know much about my aircraft. I'm building a Silverlight Aviation AR-1c gyroplane. Compared to something like an RV, it is a way simpler build. However you never know how the inspector may react. On another note, will I also need powerplant training for...

    Christmas prime rib for dinner

    Awesome! I'm a huge fan too! He's my go-to for anything new that I want to try. I don't always follow his flavoring style, but his cooking methods are always spot on!

    Who can inspect and annual an experimental?

    The link I was looking at was: https://www.eaa.org/eaa/aircraft-building/intro-to-aircraft-building/frequently-asked-questions/how-to-get-your-repairman-certificate So I will be the 'primary builder' of the aircraft. At what point would I need to 'demonstrate to the FAA inspector (my) ability...

    Christmas prime rib for dinner

    Will do! Maybe transfer to another pan for this part...

    Who can inspect and annual an experimental?

    Ah - What's the process to get a repairman's certificate? I thought getting the builder's cert was enough.

    Christmas prime rib for dinner

    Funny, this is the first year we are going to try prime rib for dinner. My wife bought the bone-off style. We're going to try the Alton Brown method of cooking at low temp, then putting it in at 500d to crisp the outside. Interesting to read about how many like the bone-in!

    Who can inspect and annual an experimental?

    Aside from the 'builder', who can inspect an experimental? For example, if I were to purchase an already-built experimental, I would not be the builder of record and therefore could not perform the annual inspection. If the original builder is not local, has no interest, or is dead, who can do...

    ATIS/AWOS info - how much do YOU write down?

    I either write the whole thing down (except NOTAMs) or nothing. If it's beautiful out and I'm flying locally, I usually don't write anything (non-towered field). If it's breezy, I'll pull out the pen and paper and get the whole thing. At a towered field, I write the whole thing and circle the...

    Non-mounted GPS solution

    I'd like to avoid Garmin stuff based on my G1000 experiences, but sometimes they are the best alternative.

    Thinking about a dual sport/adventure Motorcycle

    If you want to get better off road, get a smaller bike. KTM 200-250 2 or 4 stroke (I'd suggest a CRF or TTR230, but from what I've read those aren't really your style). I am so much more comfortable riding a small bike on the dirt. Drifting through turns, popping up the front wheel to get over...
