    Taylorcraft down California

    Why was it necessary for him to fly somewhere to mail his certificate? Wasn't there a FedEx/ups office close to his house?

    FltPlan Go issue with PDFs

    You can. Download the pdf to your device and use the share button to share it with fltplan go. Then it will show up in the documents binder. It works, except you can't add it to any other binders or the reference to the document is lost and you have to reupload.

    FltPlan Go issue with PDFs

    Yep. That solves the problem. Thanks! It seems that, if you want to use a PDF on more than one Binder in the app, you have to upload it thru fltplan.com. If you do it from the app, it won't work.

    FltPlan Go issue with PDFs

    I'm trying to add a checklist in PDF format to FltPlan Go on iOS. I can do that and it works fine and I can see and open the PDF under the Documents binder. However, if I create a new binder called "Checklists", add that PDF to this binder and try to open it, I get a "Missing File" error...

    SID selection & Clearance Delivery

    This is what I do: When filing the flight plan (fltplan.com), I see what is the most issued routes for my plane type issued by ATC. Then, if it has a SID, I look it up and check if it's acceptable. Then I file the plan. I then check Flight aware to see what route I got prior to calling CD. If...

    The fear is driving me…

    Try skydiving. Yes, there's a feel of a drop at the beginning, but your brain will associate that with fun (hopefully).

    Aviation non-profit executive compensation.

    I don't think it's too much money. The key metric is how much do they spend in overhead (including CEO's comp) vs what they return to the donors and public in terms of projects and contributions to the aviation community.

    How long it took you to fly with your loved ones?

    I took a friend for a $100 burger 3 weeks after my checkride. It took my wife a full year to ride with me, but now she's a fan, and loves popping in and out of clouds.

    Carlsbad Caverns trip

    I'm thinking about doing a trip to Carlsbad (CNM) and a hop to ALM to see the White Sands Monument/park. I'm a flatlander and will be doing it in a non-turbo C182 or Arrow. Any good places to see besides the obvious attractions? Good places to stay?

    Cruising altitude conflicts and barometer settings

    Some weeks ago, the plane I was flying and another, both IFR at the same altitude, 90 degrees from us, converging. We told ATC about the traffic and asked for a turn while already turning. They never called traffic for any of us.

    Gear collapse at KADS

    https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/6-people-safe-after-plane-crash-at-addison-airport/2873160/ There was a nice crosswind yesterday, and that accident closed ADS and created some good workload for regional approach.

    Glass or steam?

    I was like that and still catch myself looking at the ASI sometimes. But scanning a small area of the panel during an approach or in imc became a lot easier for me and made me a more precise pilot.

    Glass or steam?

    In IFR flights, I find it a lot easier to scan the PFD than to scan steam gauges.
