Hey all - I'll be ferrying a newly acquired aircraft (Arrow II) back to Texas next weekend... the ultimate utilization for this aircraft will be a flying club, who carries their own insurance. I will need to get insurance coverage for the ferry flight, obviously. I have received quotes from...

Thanks a bunch.... Since it's Sunday I just sent an email over, but will reach them tomorrow. Thanks again! Adam

Yeah I think for the specific example that I'll potentially be pursuing, since the last 37 years are accountable in the airframe log (1980-2017), I'm at least going to get my A&P to give me his opinion of the situation (missing date of manufacture 1976-1979). If he says that the traceability...

Hey folks - in shopping for an aircraft I've noticed that, while most owners have all aircraft/engine/prop logs, some of the older aircraft have early years missing. Now, my intuitive take on this is that for a 1970's manufactured airplane, having the last 37 years of logs is 99.9% good, even...

Hey folks - I am close to making an initial offer on an Arrow II near Oxford, AL (KANB, hour east of Birmingham). I have an excellent network, but not that excellent. I would appreciate any A&P references anyone may have for that region, so that I can get a pre-buy inspection performed...

Yeah I guess catch it at just the right time, full throttle, and go.

As always, I appreciate the excellent feedback. Helps a relatively inexperienced aircraft buyer understand the situation, etc. For those who asked.... the pilot was feet from accidentally performing a gear-up landing and scraped the prop prior to the aircraft hitting the ground. He allegedly...

Hey Team - I am in the process of aircraft shopping (Arrow or similar RG piston single). I have noticed some listings advertise prop strike inspections/overhauls. I dug into one particular Arrow for sale, and inspected engine logs. I guess my real question is, I'm sure people buy/sell...

So if we don't utilize a common source of info/"regulations" (AIM for example), who determines whether to fly a course reversal or not? The pilot or controller? In other words, if the pilot decides it's in his/her best interest to fly a course reversal, what ensures that the controller is...

Did you perform the course reversal/hold?... :)

Yep - same here. Plus as someone stated earlier, if she was to provide vectors to the final approach course, she'd have to vector me north a ways... otherwise I'd be cutting it in tight from where I was positioned.

I would have definitely asked for straight-in if I was at a better angle. I'm wondering if the practice of straight-in without getting the actual clearance is a broadly accepted activity? (i.e. Pilot and controller not aware they are doing this against the allowed procedure).

Sorry, I should add that I was 'cleared for RNAV 17 approach, maintain 4,000 until established....' about 5 miles from CIPEX.

Thanks for quick reply guys. Yes I agree that best thing to do is get on same page with controller by asking/clarifying. I was flying the RNAV 17 in KGVT (LINK HERE). My route was KADS - TRISS - KGVT. I was cleared direct CIPEX from the general vicinity of TRISS, so I was on greater than 90...

Hi all - I am having a discussion on another forum and wanted to get this message board's thoughts on the topic of hold-in-lieu (HILPT) procedures. Specifically, I was flying actual IMC yesterday and was given an RNAV approach clearance that, by the book, required me to perform the published...

If you are using FSX with pilotedge, and a controller gives you direct to a fix or navaid that doesn't exist in FSX (since there have been a lot of navaid updates in 10 yrs), how do you handle? Or do they only use the navaids in the current version of FSX?

I had a hybrid that did the engine shut off thing as a rental, and it drove me nuts. I wonder if the starters fail early on those vehicles. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think I remember Allegiant being in the news earlier this year regarding their shoddy maintenance practices. Maybe I'm mixing that up but I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere.

Anyone running XP11 beta with good performance, mind sharing your hardware specs? My relatively good system is also having issues running 11.
