Also, don't limit the CFI idea to just CFI's...talk to all the DE's too. Gene

This question reminds me of when my wife asks me, "Why do you love me?" I always felt it's unimportant to understand "why" you love someone. If you can make a bulleted list of why you love someone or something, then what happens if those things are taken away? I think it's more important to...

In both cases: My iPad mini/Garmin Pilot App/GDL39 3D [that's all one instrument btw :rofl:. Gene

The suggestion to bring a bottle is good one, but in case it's not obvious, make sure you also bring the cap. Also, after use, it's a real bad idea to place the bottle back in the cup holder. It's unimportant how I know this. :eek: TRY to pee before you take-off even if you don't have...

The ATC radio/voice recorder is the most useless item in my plane. If you miss a transmission, you're suppose to press a rewind button and it plays back the last 10 seconds or so. The problem is, by the time you press the button (2 seconds) and listen to the radio call (10 more seconds)...

Talk to some of the flight instructors at your airport. Many times they have a student they're finishing up who's talking about buying an aircraft as soon as they get their certificate. A partnership is an economical way to start ownership that many newly minted pilots aren't aware of...

Flyers, I am auctioning my faithful and trustworthy Garmin 696 GPS. It is in perfect working order. Good luck if you wish to own this very capable GPS unit. Good Luck! http://tinyurl.com/kk7nznt Gene

We'll...he can stay out of the clouds and still get ice. Freezing rain is one of he most dangerous ice encounters out there and the clouds can be over a thousand feet above you. More accurately, stay out of visible moisture at or below freezing where the temperature is conducive for ice...

91.107(a) (3) states that: "...each person on board a U.S.-registered civil aircraft must occupy an approved seat or berth with a safety belt and, if installed, shoulder harness, properly secured about him or her during movement on the surface, takeoff, and landing. " The exception is if...

:nono: Here is a paste in of my metaphor: "...if you had several pieces of dissimilar Swiss cheese slices...". I qualified it by saying "dissimilar" Gene

Who's passing judgment? I just put out thoughts that I think any pilot would ask if they were in a similar situation or incident. We all review and study NTSB accident reports and articles, such as, I Learned about Flying From That, Never Again, etc. to gain knowledge, virtual experience...

The *Cardinal Cruiser* (177RG) This is a turbo Cessna Cardinal RG. It claims to do 177 knots in the high teens properly leaned.

I'm glad you posted this. I thought the whole idea of these *discussion* boards was to actually discuss a topic and provide our thoughts, opinions and insights that stimulates discussions and conversations we are interested in. Although your point is well taken, it just seems your...

Point well taken and I have to admit it made me smile. In defense, if someone would walk into my house with an umbrella, a raincoat and galoshes which are all soaking wet and dripping on my floor, I would not need a major federal investigation to discover that it's raining outside.

Fellow Pilots, We all know that these incidents happen due to a chain of events. Here are the ones that I can identify: 1) they had to be not be utilizing or paying attention to the GPS 2) they had a visual approach, but they still could have had the localizer frequency set, but did...

I have owned the Lightspeed 2G's, 3G's, Zulu's and Zulu.2's. I have sent them all in to be repaired at one time or another, but never due to poor design or construction quality. It has always been due to me shutting the door on the cord or a passenger tripping on the cord. The weak link seems...

ok...I guess copy and paste directly into your browser instead of clicking on it. I didn't have that issue. Gene

Flyers, Have we discussed this? http://www.samsonmotorworks.com/ The claims are almost ridiculous. What are the thoughts of the group? Gene

That's what I was looking for!!! THANK YOU! :goofy: Gene
