Dixie Wing’s P-63 is not the one involved in the incident yesterday.

Horrible news no matter the cause. Here.

Is this an iPad app? Willing to try it but just trying to figure out where to install it.

Is your momentary big red disconnect button sticking? It will disconnect on push but won’t sound the tone until you release. If you hold through the normal tone length, you get no disconnect tone at all. I do that to avoid alarms that could upset passengers sometimes.

This inception stuff is getting out of control. Walt knows Walt?

Saw some guys with what looked like line trimmer engines that they powered with avgas a few years ago. The motors sat on a platform over the rear wheel and had a friction drive wheel that engaged the back tire. Pretty slick and also interesting to have lawn equipment powered bikes. Not great for...

Who had murder hornets take out GPS on their 2022 bingo card?

It’s the mortgage dilemma. If you have a high rate, you’ll refinance when rates go down. If you have a low rate, you will keep it until maturity. Banks can never make money. I think there’s a whole section in Liar’s Poker on how the smartest people in the world figured a way to make money on this stuff.

I have a client where we just closed out 2006 in 2020 and are still working on 2007-2009. It’s a large public company, so the IRS isn’t throwing their new people at it. They’re just very slow and very overworked. They got much less efficient during covid lockdowns when they were all working from...

Who said we aren’t friendly?!? We’re getting brick for heavens sake. Although now I think we should make it say “POA - not a very friendly place” or “smartass comments aren’t really helpful.”

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of insurance. Not an uncommon misunderstanding given what health insurance has become in society, but insurance is about shifting and distributing risk. There is a cost/price for that. There is also a benefit that people who see it as a...

But it’s a write off for you. It basically pays for itself. Trust me, I’m a CPA. I can help you justify any purchase.

Let it be known that I was correct!

I still hate that Aviation101 guy because he was told to keep his speed up on an approach into a 9000 foot runway at MSN in front of me a few years ago, told the controller he would, and then immediately slowed down to 70kts. He could have been firewalled all the way down the ILS in his 172 and...

Because I didn’t want my wingtips to look different.

I’ll say it again - different insurers use different value guides. Avemco used vref to quote me and it was insanely high (as was the premium). They wouldn’t go lower than 80% of the vref value, which was also way too high. Call them directly (other agents cannot quote Avemco policies). They...

Replicate and replace are two different things. You’re the one who is confused. Regardless, your duty as the insured is to mitigate damages, which means you replace your airplane by getting a comparable airplane in the cheapest way possible, not by rebuilding it the same way. If you can buy an...

Simmer down there buddy. To replace an airplane, you have to buy a substantially similar airplane. Replacing it doesn’t mean you’re getting all the money to go back and make the bad spending decisions you made the first time. You just argued that it’s not replacement value because it is...

You’re correct that the insured value should have nothing to do with what you paid, only the cost to replace the asset. Different insurance companies have different ways of determining replacement or insurance hull values they will accept. Avemco told me they wouldn’t insure mine for less than...

If you’re the sole member of the LLC, it will be disregarded as a separate entity for federal purposes. Nothing to file but you’ll want to track your basis and all costs. When you bring on a new partner, the LLC springs to life as a partnership for federal purposes and could require a...
