Interesting. Glad I saw that article. We had assumed that it would be a glass cockpit aircraft. That's much more reachable for any given flight school.

My LTSIO-360 has a different rotation from my TSIO-360...obviously, lol

I think it's good in my area. Do you have a photo of the Switchbox? Where do you live in Denver? Lived in Parker and the Lowry area for a little while before moving to Leadville (and now TN).

I just took those real quick doing a check flight. I usually try to keep TIT around 1450°-1500°. I leveled off, set up how you see, took the photo, and then started a descent. According to the POH, that's actually about 0.5 GPH more than the power chart says. I like to err on the richer side...

I was just curious if the difference between Density Altitude and Airport Elevation/Indicated Altitude held all the way up as you climb. i.e. in my question, there's an 1,100' difference. I've never thought about it before and was having a time Googling it without getting basic explanations of...

Great explanation, thank you.

Not being snippy, but I know what the definition of Critical Altitude and what it is supposed to be for my aircraft. Thank you, and I didn't mean to portray that I did not. For my Seneca though (to be a little more precise), it's the altitude where you can no longer maintain 40" of Manifold...

I am sure this is supposed to be a relatively simple topic to understand, but I admit that I do not know this answer. Is the critical altitude of an aircraft equipped with turbocharged engines affected by density altitude? i.e., if density altitude is high at the departure airport, will the...

$1,800 might get you the CDI that goes along with the 430/530 these days. If it's just going to be for home and instructional use, could you not use something like this: https://realsimgear.com/collections/all Seems like a much better option for your money. For $1,800, you could buy the...

Loved my time as a Diver Driver! I still get to do it on the side, and even ferry aircraft when needed in my spare time. Quite a bit of fun! As said earlier, you'll gain quite a bit of experience with heavier loads (and moving & changing loads) throughout several phases of flight, as well as...

Dang, I was shocked to see my own thread from 4 years ago pop up! Funny how things change. I went from thinking about a 480, to buying a used 430, selling that, and going with a new 650 instead :D

It's been my experience that airport people are typically the worst drivers on an airport. I can't count on two hands the number of times that I've been almost hit by cars (on a decent sized airport) while flying the C208, C90, and DHC6...not small planes to miss! I can at least count on one...

Good enough (in my opinion) that I sold our PA32R-300 for nearly twice what I paid for our PA34-200T at the end of August. Allowed for a few upgrades that I wanted to do to the Seneca. It probably has a lot to do with what type of aircraft you are wanting to get into. I'm noticing Barons...

Well that's a nasty remark. My tenants don't seem to mind the perimeter fence as it discourages animals at the very least. At the most, with a good vehicle gate, it also discourages the lookie-loos from wandering onto the airfield and in/around their hangars, or tampering with the fuel farm...

No, several do not. On the flip side, the FAA would like to see them at GA airports though. They are "suggesting" it to a couple around me.

There seems to be some debate on whether or not the clock function contained within the GTN series of navigators satisfies the legal requirement for an installed clock. You can have it displayed as a data field, so you could theoretically have it displayed while using the box. AeroVonics says...

Wow. That would be a great replacement for the clock in my plane, and would be a great backup AI just in case. Doesn't look like it's been replaced just yet. EDIT: My bad, according to their store page, the AV-20 is in stock and shipping.

The cafe there is actually pretty amazing! Best burger I've had in a long while anyhow. I loved the pie and we bought a couple of T-shirts while we were there as well. Amazing how busy the cafe stays, and it's typically from people in town bringing their family...although there were quite a...

The OP's site is a fake, but apparently there is a Mayoral Candidate that wants to reopen it: https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/mayor-office-candidate-willie-wilson-2019-election/

Are you able to still purchase these things? Looking around the internet and don't see anything readily available. I have one on the front door of my Seneca and love it. Don't know why they didn't add it to the rear door(s) as well. Thought I'd look into it, but am having a little trouble...
