    Cylinders 5-3-1 didn't start right away

    Was the fuel pump on? You could simply have air in the lines if you have not flown it in a couple weeks - doesn't take long for the fuel to evaporate - you could have had open intake valves on that side at shutdown - and everything just evaporated and you did not prime long enough.

    What ya going to do when they stop making the iPad Mini??

    Sitting in my Comanche the mini barely gets the way . . . . whereas the iPad Pro 10.5 is ALWAYS in the way. Blocks instruments too which is bad.

    BT Earbuds/Headphones Recommendation

    Costco has a plantronics in ear earbud set for $60. I bought a pair of Bose QC35's after my wife left a pair of QC25's on an airplane. They sound great. But to be perfectly honest, my best pair of noise cancelling headphones is the Bose QC-20i - the noise cancellation is spectacular and the...

    DUI reporting question

    IF I can paraphrase: Was he arrested? Prob not. Was there a Motor Vehicle Action? apparently not. The FAA is very specific in the question - and they wrote it. So from a technical legal standpoint it is likely even under a generous interpretation of their question [in their favor], the...

    Transferring title upon death of airplane owner

    actually, the executor cannot just sell the airplane. The will controls who gets the property. If the aircraft is not listed as a specific bequest, then it goes to the remaindermen, and only THEY control what happens to it. If your mother in law is listed as executor only SHE can act - you...

    What ya going to do when they stop making the iPad Mini??

    maybe we can hack a faster android tablet to run iOS . . . . And on 9/12 we will see if there is a iPad mini 5 'pro' [which is the rumor] in the offing -

    DUI reporting question

    @AggieMike88 - bingo. Also - don't display one of the attitudes the FAA is looking for in airmen to slap them down hard. While you may not have to disclose this instance you would be adding what is the equivalent of a link in an accident chain by ignoring the event. . ..

    DUI reporting question

    the question in your scenario becomes what is an arrest? Being charged with a DUI offense does not mean that you have been arrested. The FAA did not use the word: "have you been charged" with an offense- they ask a very specific questions - two actually: 1. Have you been arrested for an...

    DUI reporting question

    Nope = he's not a doc and anyone can have a different opinion on that- the FAS has no guidance on what constitutes abuse of alcohol. Thats facts and circumstances test. The question is specific and direct, both of them are. You don't have a problem with abuse of alcohol until you a) admit...

    DUI reporting question

    if you were still conscious at 0.17 . .. you have been drinking a bit the last few months. If you reached 0.17 and had passed out which caused the accident, maybe having a professional help you evaluate your drinking habits might make sense- cause even a whole bottle of wine with dinner will...

    What will you do with me (and others like me?)

    Like most of us, ignore you like you ignore me. Its not only easier that way, its also more polite. You leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone - fair enough?

    DUI reporting question

    This so damn easy: answer the question. Parse all the and and ors and exceptions - and answer the question. It is a yes or a no. Simple as that. From the facts I have seen, you can easily support a No response here and have the regional surgeon or counsel not bat an eyelash at it. The...
