It is my aircraft and I have a mode S transponder. The FAA call my home phone and the FBO called my cell phone which I provided when I landed at TEB. Teterboro FBO could not tell them I landed safely because that is the AP I departed from, I landed at an uncontrolled field which is my homebase.

Flyers, I flew to KTEB (Teterboro ap) yesterday with my wife and 2 friends to see Wicked on Broadway. (GREAT SHOW!...but I digress). After the show and back at KTEB I contact Clearance Delivery for a VFR clearance (yes, they are Class D, but require all VFR departures to contact CD). I told...

Sounds completely plausible!

Flyers and the mechanically savvy, I have noticed in the last year that my airspeed indicator registers no airspeed until about 40 knots or so and when it does it jumps aggressively to life. What could cause this and what is the fix? I was thinking a blockage, a collapsed pitot line, a bad...

Flyers, I have about 2,220 hours on our IO360-A1B6 non-D engine in our '71 Cessna Cardinal RG. IIRC, it was rebuilt by G&N Engines in 1996 or so by the previous owner. So, it is definitely due for some TLC. It runs fine except a little hard starting, even with pre-heating. No sense in...

The GPS has to have RAIM, which I don't think the GTX 345 has. I could be wrong...won't be the first time. Gene

I didn't read through all the posts, I'm not a lawyer, and did not research this, so take this for the off the cuff comment it is: I believe standard wisdom in the non-towered IFR world is to climb runway heading until at least 400' AGL before turning because that is your guaranteed protected...

:yes:

Flyers, I remember the day I passed my IFR checkride; I was walking out to my car and boosted to one of the CFI’s of my accomplishment. He congratulated me and immediately purported, “…now you’re 3 times safer!” Hmmm, I had never heard that before. I wondered if that was true, and still do...

In tight aircraft and especially in the winter with coats I have had the wire get caught on what I am wearing and when I rotated my head it pulled the headset almost off. Even if the wire moves the headset a little, the air gap causes the ANR to screw up for a second or two causing some...

No, but I will. Also, I will send a letter to LS to see if they have any comments. Thanks for the suggestion. Gene

Flyers, I thought I would provide a PIREP on Lightspeed’s new Tango wireless headset. First some background…I have been utilizing Lightspeed headsets since I purchased my airplane in June 2002. I have owned almost every high-end pair they designed from 2002 until present. I have never...

Agree!! I think LS made a mistake by making these headsets with a proprietary wireless system. It should have been BT so that company's like PS Engineering can make an Audio Panel that can BT to BT headsets universally. Maybe LS should make a base-station that can be integrated into an...

You know...that was my concern. "Why does this headset have more sophistication and costs less?" I am concerned that the speakers have less audio quality, the mic is cheaper, the ANR is not as good, the materials are cheaper or the ear seals are not as comfortable as the Zulu's. I usually...

Cardinal RG just like mine! :rofl:

I lost 35 pounds in 1 1/2 months and it was simple. First, I ate 1/2 of my normal portion. Only put this amount on your plate and PUT THE REST AWAY IMMEDIATELY IN THE FRIDGE! This looked like and was a ridiculously little amount of food and left me starving when I finished...BUT...I had one...

Flyers, I bought a Citizen Skyhawk watch in 2012 and I have to admit I never wear it. 1) It's bulky, at least on my wrist. I notice these watches look really good on someone with an average to stout wrist, but I'm thinner and it just doesn't look that great on me. 2) The good news...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/331707800608? This is a nice watch I bought in the middle of 2012 and I wore it less than 50 times. I just didn't like the way it looked on my wrist for some reason. I have several other watches and always seemed to lean toward those. It has no imperfections or...

Flyers, For about a month now I get a clicking sound every 30 or 40 seconds in my headset and my panel lights dim. I recognize this sound as it is identical to the clicking and blinking I see when I put the gear down or up. I think I may have hydraulic bypassing somewhere in the system...

The protected airspace is shown on the MSA circle. If you went missed, you are to climb straight ahead to 900 feet then a climbing left turn to 3500 feet and direct to CCR. You will be clear of obstructions within 25nm of CCR especially on the northeast side. As far as other air traffic is...
