What I end up doing is just taking a screen shot of the “take off minimums” From Foreflight on the ground. So that it is the first thing on my photo album, so that I do not have to go looking for it in the air. I know exactly where it is. That is my work around.

That does seem like a significant advantage of GP compared to FF. I have had the same struggles with FF (while on the ground preflighting). It would be very disconcerting trying to find it while in the air.

Charge the FBO an hourly dry rate for the use of your plane, not to fly but for them to look at and admire and take pictures of for advertising. Expect and charge royalty fees, If they use your plane in any advertisements. You will also charge them a daily and weekly rate to make their...

Considering that the Installation involves using the existing 3 screw holes, no new holes and then the A&P attaches the two wires. So if you plane is on the AML you can use the STC (SA04362CH) “From the FAA approved flight manuel supplement for the Uavionix SkyBeacon as installed in the make...

I thought if the aircraft was covered by the skyBeacon AML STC that you did not need to get a 337. Only if it was not one of the 272 aircraft listed on the AML that you would need to get a 337.

It is my understanding that an A&P can install, remove, and reinstall any instrument or piece of avionics. But only a properly FAA-certified instrument/radio repair station or FCC-licensed technician (as applicable) can go inside the box/instrument itself.

Make sure there is No ammonia (it is ammonia free) in the "windex" window cleaner if you have plexi glass windows.

It now looks like it will be the end of November

If the controller had better situational awareness, as the pilot crosses GUUNR, ATC would have either said "continue current heading, or hold at ARSHW or given a new heading. It was not a loss of communication, It is a lack of communication. lack of communication is not talking. If the...

It appears what we are really talking about is not lost communications, but ATC lost situational awareness of were the airplane is in relation to the approach and what should the pilot do in that situation.

But once he passed GUUNR, without any further instructions, he is on the assumed vector to get to GUUNR. If he was given direct to TUMPY instead of GUUNR, what should he do after that, hold at TUMPY? Turn towards ARSHW after TUMPY? Or continue past TUMPY on the vector that got him to TUMPY...

ATC should explain, but my guess is that they sometimes they get very busy, get distracted or just do not have enough time to explain themselves. In my case, it was not a mountain, but another plane. I was slow and the other plane was a jet inbound on the same approach but was much faster...

I would think that anything after the "expect" is just information on what to expect, it is not an official clearance to fly the procedure, fly the hold or anything else, but just continue your last vector and altitude. It is just like when vectored on to the final approach, Fly heading 080 at...

How is a safety pilot going to help? If you are in the clouds (IMC) while starting the approach and/or going in and out of the clouds (which is more disorienting in my opinion) during the approach. I find it best just to keep my eyes on the gauges/instruments until I am past the FAF. I know...

My question If you enter the approach in actual IFR conditions and keep your eyes are on the gauges the whole time (you do not look up and hedge) and keep them fixed the gauges until past the FAF Or even until the DA/MDA, why could you not log the approach as an actual ifr approach? How would...

That makes sense, $549 is not too bad considering I spend around $399 at Garmin for the United States data base without terrain ($150) or obstacle ($49) per year. With the WiFi bottle neck. They could do it like Foreflight and just transfer the relevant Nav data within 50 nm of the planned...

Thanks That is helpful I was hoping that I could update the data on my iPad/iPhone and that it would transfer via the WiFi hookup to the units. M.

How much does the subscription for the Jeppesen Ifr charts cost for the IFD440 costs Can you use the Jeppesen subscription on ForeFlight as a bundle deal as well? What I dislike is that when I am on an Ifr trip with the Garmin 430w and my monthly database expires while I am on the trip...

If you would like strobes, but do not have them on the wings can u hook the yellow strobe power line up to the red positive power source or do u have to cap it off?

Side Slipping is the preferred method over Crabbing as well as Coke over Pepsi Boeing over Airbus (Airbus does not recommend Side Slipping) Flying over Driving etc. In all seriousness, Side Slipping is probably less stressful on retractable airplane landing gear. Sideslip causes one main...
