I wish my financial position allowed for me to do this.

Very helpful, thank you.

I just don't know where to try them out. My friend has an A20, but I don't know anyone with a Zulu3.

I am going to be upgrading my headset soon. My original headset has quit working and the manufacturer has gone out of business. Right now I'm using my backup, backup headset which I bought for $99 on Amazon. Let's just say it's not the best. I'm about to start my instrument rating, and I...

No instrument rating and five kids on Christmas morning is keeping me grounded as well.

Growing up in AZ (Phoenix area), I've never seen snow on Christmas. But this morning, we were treated to full blown IMC. I'll take it. Merry Christmas!

Just curious about the laws involved here. Can you get charged in state court for DUI for flying a plane? Don't Federal laws pre-empt state laws on aviation related matters? Just curious if anyone knows how a case like this will play out.

I think this is a good idea to just help maintain situational awareness. I've done flights all around the Phoenix metro under and through the Bravo without GPS, but the stress level ratchets WAY up when I don't have that graphic showing me exactly where I am relative to all the airspace boundaries.

OMG! :eek2::eek2::eek2: That's a pretty cool story! What were you doing in Spain and Africa in 1954???

That's very interesting. And yes, I'd agree that what you're more accustomed to would feel more familiar and put you 'at ease' a bit. But I do have a question. When you're navigating my pilotage like that in the flat states, what visual landmarks are you using?

I get this. Here in AZ, there are lots of very distinguishable geographic landmarks that can be seen from almost 100 miles away. That makes it VERY difficult to get lost. Flying from Chandler to Flagstaff, you basically clear the Bravo at PHX, and get to the North end of the city, and you can...

I loved all the pictures you took along the way. What an awesome trip!

Wow, that's such a cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Now that's a long way!

What is the longest cross country you've ever completed just by using pilotage? I fly out of KCHD (Chandler municipal airport in the Phoenix metro area) Shortly after I got my private, I took a friend and we flew from KCHD to E77. That flight isn't terribly far, in fact it's barely a "cross...

You may have just unlocked the secret to happiness in this life.

Really? Nobody? I mean... it is in the middle of nowhere...

Yes, I think this is really what he was after. In this circumstance, I just mashed the blue knob all the way in. The prop quickly accelerated. I've been emailing him separately about it, and that was really his concern. Moving forward, when I'm in cruise, if I need to advance the prop, I'll...

The way the scenarios relate is that they both involve a condition where the engine is at less than full power, the propeller is at less than full speed, but it we want to advance the speed of the propeller. Other than that, I recognize that the scenarios are different. I wanted to hear...

No. But I should point out that this is really just a hypothetical example. I pulled those altitudes out of my backside. I may as well have said 2k to 4k, or 4k to 6k. The question was more centered around the order of pushing and pulling the knobs. But one thing I've learned from from...
