    Find an approach - great instrument training/currency tool

    quick search by mileage and then filtered by type approach etc is awesome…why doesn’t ForeFlight do it (or does it?) This also reminds me of the thread about drawing a radius on a chart for quick visualization Probably a lot of work to update links to a thousand plates

    Owner Assisted Annuals are Now Outlawed unless Supervised 100%.

    I remember putting in a high res video connection in a hospital…~25 years ago. If a Dr can help/supervise surgery, remotely, then maybe a mechanic can get help the same way.

    iOS 18 ???

    Working ok for me but it auto turns on “game mode” when I play chess. I’m terrible and the phone doesn’t need to put all other functions on the back burner. I found a way to turn it off but haven’t been able to actually do it. The directions sounded like I’ll need to do it every time I play a...

    D. B. Cooper: the Barnowsky scenario

    That one version looks like him Did anyone figure out the financial situation for this guy? I’ve known two uh agency guys and one literally turned off house power to change a light bulb and the other would definitely do a db cooper type stunt for a case of Dr Pepper. Count me in for believing

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    Any chance of new/more frequencies? Can’t new digital radios work on additional channels? I flew into an airport on eastern shore last year and ctaf was the same at something ridiculous like 5 nearby airports. It’s flat there and I imagine Florida is worse…

    Riding Mowers -Gas/Electric?

    Quote: I would love to be able to mow the lawn, use a broom to de-thatch the lawn, pick up the clippings from both of the above, move several cubic yards of mulch, grind a stump, dig a hole, and use a grapple to move tree carcasses around, all in one day. I was with you until you said in one...

    Aviators who are not pilots

    In the 80s I just called my instructor to get clearance. Basically just a weather check before going. Back then the concern was about getting lost (I need huge landmarks) not crosswind landings and the million other things to think about Seems foolish now of course

    Am I getting into trouble asking for a lipoprotein a

    So, one (smoking 3 packs!) parent equals family history? 4 grandparents and mother ok? Anyway, other threads have recommended consulting with an ame without filing medexpress forms etc so it’s not in the FAA system. There are several ame posters here but I’m not sure how long it takes for...
