No you're not missing anything. Lots of airports have entries like that. I guess they just want you to know about the obstacles, even though there is no specific procedure defined. The "T" is there to make you go look at the info. I guess the implied procedure is "don't hit anything on...

I used to be based at KSTL many many years ago (2 different flying clubs, and charter), but a LOT has changed since then. Most of it less than helpful for GA. If you plan to stop at KSTL, I suggest you check out the FBO for costs. Signature currently shows $8.44/gal for 100LL, and may charge...

Flying together is perfectly legal, and IMHO meets the spirit of the law as well. You are acting as PIC until he completes the 3rd landing. He can log the landings since he is doing the flying. Done all the time.

It isn't just RPM, don't forget about prop AOA. As you move forward faster, the prop AOA decreases, which is one of the reasons RPM increases. It is a 3D environment so simple explanations are tough. So even with a constant torque motor, a CS prop will provide more thrust and efficiency by...

Do it all the time. You can do what you want and stay out of the class B. Don't plan on getting a clearance into the class B. They will do flight following if they aren't too busy. Do NOT cross into Canada unless you have filed a flight plan and are talking to ATC and have a transponder...

My philosophy as well. Sounds like a keeper to me. I've done exactly the same thing numerous times. I have told all my students that if it is legal to fly and they want to fly, I will fly with them (before or after their ratings). At times there have been some rather short flights :eek: It...

It is the time. You spend more time in a headwind than a tailwind, so increasing speed reduces the amount of time fighting the headwind. That is why winds don't affect fast airplanes as much as slow airplanes. A 50 kt headwind doesn't impact your flight time as much when flying at 500...

Re: XGPS160 GPS Receiver & iPad 2 iOS 7.0.3 Bluetooth Drops connection, requires reb The latest FF and XGPS160 talk to each other directly, don't use IOS location services. Check the settings drop down on the map page to see if FF is connected to the XGPS. Bluetooth/Location Services is...

I came back from KARR last Sunday night and ended up at PTK instead of 57D (home base for my RV7A). The weather at VLL was reported as 1900 OVC (FF with Stratus) but when I listened to the AWOS it said 700!! And it was 10 pm so no chance of an approach. When I landed at PTK the controller said...

I was an engineer at McDonnell Douglas in St. Louis, and taught primary students out of STL (this is back in the 80's). One day I was in a 150 with a student, and an F15 departed before us, doing a Viking (vertical) departure, like the one in the video. He climbed vertically to 5000', pulled...

Everything is stored on the device, because the assumption is that you won't have a connection while flying. FF will send the briefing to your email when you file (if you have put your email in the flight plan form of course). It sends both the flight plan, with a wx summary, as well as the...

KVLL (Oakland Troy) is closest to Rochester. I live in Rochester Hills and teach at VLL. Stop at PTK for cheap fuel (PAC), or Ray (57D).

Do a hard reset - hold both buttons (round one and the square one) until the Apple logo appears, takes about 10 seconds. After it restarts it should be OK - t least that worked for me.

I use the contacts app on my iPad. Each student/pilot is a contact and I put a note, same as write-stuff, for each endorsement. My contacts are synced with Outlook on my work PC, so the iPad isn't the only place they are stored.

I regularly get to fly multiple planes (instructing). I've flown all 4 school planes (2-172s, a 162, a 182), and my RV7A in one day a few times. Long day! Tough job but someone's gotta do it :-)

You need to close out apps when this happens. Double click the round button. This will move YE screen up and a row of icons will appear at the bottom. These are all the apps active in the background. Press and hold one for a couple of seconds. All of them will get a red dot with a white dash...

The dates will tell you how regulary it flew. The hobbs and tach times will tell you how hard he ran the engine. That is about it. The flight log has fuel used - what about oil? What about the maintenance logs? Those are what I'd be most interested in reviewing - history of compressions, oil...

No specific requirement. No reg against having old charts on board either.If you do something dumb, there are plenty of regs they can use to hang you... :yikes: Now that I have Foreflight, I always have current charts :D

Are you looking for a ride from OSH to Detriot? I could do that Sunday am

From an Internet search to back up my memory: The latest revision of Textron Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1125 specifies POB No. 4 Perfect Seal and silk thread as the generally used items for sealing crankcase finished parting surfaces that do not employ gaskets. Two other products...
