Thanks for all the comments. I did call the examiner. The student failed on this issue about ground control as well as turn-around-a-point. We discussed the turn around a point and then I asked what happened at the CT airport concerning ground control. He ignored that question and began...

Flyers, I had a student take a checkride and he failed on an item I find silly. He was told by the examiner to land at a control towered airport near by. When he did, the tower instructed him to clear the runway at a particular point, which he dutifully did. The tower then stated to...

'Flyer's, Sorry...I'm getting in this late and I didn't read all the previous posts, so I apologize in advance if this statement or concept has been covered.... I find it hard to believe that an aircraft manufacturer, such as, Gulfstream would have a gust-lock system (electric, hydraulic...

1) Reboot the iPad 2) Consider the Bad Elf Bluetooth GPS. It has a lot of benefits even for iPads with 4G and GPS. For example, without the Bad Elf I lose GPS position if I blank the screen to save battery. The Bad Elf will hold your GPS position and Bluetooth it to the iPad in about 2...

Flyers, What is the group's opinion on AOA indicators in our airplanes? I am seeing the same old stance from some pilots that we have with any new device, "A real pilot doesn't need such a useless crutch." I have seen some real distaste for these devices. Did I miss something? Why all the...

Wow...I disagree. I've own a 1971 Cardinal RG for 12 years. There is nothing more complex about this aircraft except that it's an RG. It has a tried and true Lycoming IO360 and there's nothing more complex about it that I can think of. My Cardinal trues out around 140 knots at 7500 feet on...

Split the difference and get a Cessna Cardinal RG. Lookup the TAS, Max Gross Weight, GPH and price. You might find that this is a great airplane considering all of the above. Gene '71 C177RG :yes:

I believe the Radiotelephone Operator Permit does not expire, but the radio station license for the airplane expires in one year. But...I'm not completely sure. I flew to the Bahamas and was never asked for either. Same for Canada. I landed in Nassau and St. Catherine's. Gene

Can someone tell me how to post a picture in a thread or share a file or at least allow a file I have to be viewed? (*.doc, *docx or *.pdf)

Do you mean this: http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3531 Or are you thinking of something else? Gene

It may be a "stunt" but it is legal. Anyone can gift anyone up to $10,000 per year tax-free. Last I looked it's the law. But the operative quote is "last I looked".

Ron, You are correct that there's no question that it would be illegal. It's academic and a no brainier. However, I believe the operative word here is "academic". I think what's really being asked here is, "Would anyone in the FAA *really* care about this one time operation?" I'd say...

YOU ARE A FLIPPIN' GENIUS!!!! THANK YOU!!! Now, what is the HUD (head Up Display, right?) I don't know how to access that in FF.

To the Garmin Pilot users, I am using both FF and GP. I am new to GP because I just purchased the Garmin GDL39-3D. That unit cannot be used in FF. I like them both and they each have strengths and weaknesses. My first question is: Have you guys/gals noticed that GP crashes a lot? Let...

People are very bad at taking photos too. I love the ones with the headsets the portable GPS and all their associated wires all tangled up, and a couple charts and an A/FD laying on the seat with a Styrofoam coffee cup sitting in the cup holder suction cupped onto the pilot side window. I just...

I'll add to the beefs: 1. No "Set 'OBS' and Hold" (Actually prefer "Set 'Radial' and Hold", but I digress) 2. No NRST option 3. If one has a flight plan entered and you select the Airport Icon, I think it should display either your Departure Airport or your Destination AP (whichever you're...

on eBay is my Bad Elf Pro for auction. No reserve and starts at 1 dollar. http://tinyurl.com/menqvwo Gene

I know this is off topic, but as you begin a bunch of hand-wringing over several planned vacation flights, while watching the WX forecasts for 10, 7 and 5 days out. And once you find yourself stuck in a hotel room, calling out of work, waiting out unforecast weather of 2 sm, light rain and a...

The plane might have depreciated by $10k, but the partnership is still valued at $45k because of the engine fund. A new partner is NOT buying into a "plane"...He/She is buying into a "partnership". The new partner would have to put in his/her share based on the value of BOTH the...
