Shawn, I’m one of the guys trying to get the 6-8 member “flying club” going with an SR22 in PDK. PM me your email address and I’ll add you to our email group. A few guys in the group are kind of “on hold” due to job uncertainty thanks to COVID. So, a purchase probably wouldn’t happen until next...

Anybody interested in fractional ownership of a Cirrus SR22? Would you love to own one, but can't rationalize sole ownership? Rental options either poorly maintained or too expensive? Do you live within or near the perimeter of Atlanta? If you answered yes to those questions, this might be for...

Of course the prop RPM is slower due to the gear reduction drive. In the case of the Sling TSi, the prop RPM in cruise is down around 2300. I will say that, when I took off the Bose A20, I thought it was very loud. But then again, I think the SR22 is very loud, too. If/when I fly it again, I'll...

I know that's the conventional wisdom with traditional engines. But as I understand it, Rotax says their 915iS engine is rated to operate at 95% power continuously. I recently flew the Sling TSi, and the TAF sales rep said there's no problem cruising at higher power settings, up to and including...

Yep, totally agree, the longer tips are key for non-ANR sets. Just doesn't seem necessary on the L2 due to its ANR, which is very effective.

The mic is very stable, no problems. Length of the boom is good to. My FO's Clarity Aloft headset had a boom that was a bit too short, only reached the corner of his mouth. The UFQ L2's boom places the mic right in front of your mouth. Stays in place when you turn your head, too. I would email...

I haven’t, but one of the FO’s I flew with recently switched from the Clarity Aloft Pro to the UFQ L2. He likes the L2 better.

Yeah, I considered that L1, but decided against it. Was about to get a Clarity Aloft when the L2 came out. The ANR put me over the fence. Sucks about your experience with the L1. The L2 has been great, though. I even had good experience with their customer service. I screwed up the rubber...

Take a look at this alternative to the Clarity Aloft, the UFQ L2. Cheaper, and it has ANR.

Or, also for about half the price of a Clarity Aloft, you can get the UFQ L2 which has the added benefit of ANR. No assembly required. :D

Haven’t really used them without the batteries, but I have toggled the power on and off and I would say the ANR does the bulk of the noise reduction. They do provide you with 6 different ear tips, small/medium/large silicone and s/m/l memory foam. I use the large foam tips for the most passive...

Haha, stands for “U Fly Quiet.” Bit of a dorky name, but nice headset!

Haven't seen anyone post about this headset, so I thought I'd start a thread. I was looking for something super-lightweight, in-ear with good noise reduction. I was thinking about buying a Clarity Aloft or a Halo, then this thing popped up on my radar. Basically the same concept as those, but...

I only mentioned the met department of my current airline because of the conspicuous absence of Skew-T log P charts on their list of met products. Believe me, the vast majority of my career I didn't have one. I started in GA and continue to fly GA today. "Big iron" is only the latest chapter in...

No need to get snarky or defensive. I understand, you have products and services to sell, I'm just saying there's more than one way to get the information necessary to safely plan a flight. In your example above you mention how you used Skew-T to determine a turbulence layer was thin. You could...

Yep, and that's another reason why I like Aerovie's Vertical Weather Profile. It still works even during this government shutdown! :D Someone else mentioned that it doesn't give you lapse rate, but that can be easily figured, and there are other ways to gauge stability.

Rather than SkewT charts, I prefer the Vertical Weather Profile that Aerovie provides. It uses the same underlying sounding data upon which SkewT charts are based, but presents it in a format I find to be more intuitive for pilots. If you’re planning a trip, you would have to look up dozens of...

I live nearby, and I do see a Robinson R44 flying overhead on a regular basis. Don’t know if it’s originating from there or not.

Anyone know anything about this so-called airport? Is this for real, or some kind of joke? It’s supposedly located right next to Armour Yard, where they park all the MARTA trains, near the point where the I-85 bridge collapsed last year. Supposed to have a 850’ x 30’ E-W runway. What would that...

Is there any database available where one can see Mean Time Between Failure or similar stats for engines delineated by model? A Google search turned up various articles and opinions but I didn’t see any hard data. I’m asking this question in relation to my thread about SR22 vs Twin Comanche...
