    DIY Oxygen setup questions

    Would possibly affect triggering, as the device senses the drop in pressure caused by inhalation to trigger flow. Having a side port to a second cannula could mess with that. IF triggered, both users would be triggering it, both would be getting half of the flow, whether needed for a breath...

    Heartbroken student

    I cant recommend a CFI for you, but I will say this. I solo'd at 17 hours. I was endorsed for my ticket at 42 hrs. When I finished my private pilot checkride I had 44 hrs. Not everyone learns all tasks at the same speed. Nor is early performance necessarily an indicator of later achievement...

    Is Texas GA friendly?

    I'm 31 miles from my downtown job, on 5 acres, for 300k. 20k an acre is going rate in the outer reaches... You can get 5k an acre if you want to be 100 miles out.

    Is Texas GA friendly?

    If your property is $1 million I'd hope that has a lot of acres in it... and if you have a lot of acres they typically can be in agricultural use and have a fraction of the taxes...

    Is Texas GA friendly?

    Austin, not friendly so much, unless you want a long commute. Other than that, TX as a whole is pretty GA friendly, and no taxes on personal planes.. No state income tax, but state sales tax is 6.25% and the cities can add on up to a total of 8.5% for their revenue. In addition, homeowners have...

    United 777 engine out and ETOPS

    Thats the fallacy of deriving probability from statistics. The dual engine failure predicted by these probabilities might happen thousands of years from now, or it might be on the very next flight that departs in a few minutes. Odds and statistics are just numbers until it happens to you. Now...

    LORAN likely to make a comeback

    And that was a problem for exactly 1 airframe at that moment, not the total population of aircraft in the service area of those transmitters.

    The New England Patriots are the first NFL team with there own team airplane.

    A few weeks ago I read that several of the big airlines were now no longer providing charter service to the teams. Perhaps this purchase is an outgrowth of charter logistics? Not so much about cost effectiveness as much as ensuring availability when needed.

    How to unlock a door?

    Take the trim off the perimeter of the door. MOST interior doors have some space between them and the framing, bridged by trim. You may be able to get to the back side of the hinges and wiggle the pins out with a flat head screwdriver... Or remove enough trim to be able to push the door frame in...

    Remote ATC Tower

    If they aren't a federal employee, with the feds issuing the W2.. then... its a pedantic nit.. Kind of like calling the current FSS guys "government employees".

    AME contacted the FAA to "warn" them about me!

    And you cant bill insurance for the AME visit anyways.. Cash pay..

    AME contacted the FAA to "warn" them about me!

    1) AME is an agent of the FAA for the purposes of the medical when. He is not your doctor with regards to issues surrounding the FAA medical exam. 2) HIPAA makes allowances for regulatory disclosures which is how the doc appeared to phrase it.. This is not a HIPAA issue. Period. But the...

    I have a felony conviction question concerning medical certificate

    Thats all fine and dandy... The State Judge gives you a pass. The state judge's decision isn't binding on the federal government. And they have a record of the arrest, which isn't erased. The expunction is meaningful if a civilian employer cant find it. But I know folks who get tripped up for...

    Remote ATC Tower

    Who issues the W2 for the employees payroll... Regardless of where the funds ultimately originate, if its not being paid directly to the employee by the FAA its what a layman or businessman would consider a private contractor.

    Fire Extinguishers

    Its a smoke hood. not a flame hood. If its hot enough to shrink wrap where your head is, you have bigger, more immediately pressing problems to deal with.

    County property tax on personal airplane?

    If you move to Texas make sure the plane is in your name, not that of a corporation. Or you will owe property tax on the corporate asset in Texas.
