    Need a DPE NJ area

    Title basically says it all. The DPE I used for my private has a several month wait-list, and have tried a few other names in the area, and have not gotten a response. I am one maybe two lessons away from getting signed off for my IFR test, and have several trips planned this summer I really...

    Flying a PA/32 on BasicMed

    I received the STC yesterday. Shop A&P says the charge will be for 30 minutes to do the 337 paperwork. So free is as usual not 100% free. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Why do yokes have dual handgrips?

    A CFI told me to use two hands to stabilize and smooth out steep turns and other menuevers where the controls get heavy. Might not mean much in a 172 or a PA28 but in a P32 some of those take a significant amount of muscle. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Flying a PA/32 on BasicMed

    I said if AOPA helped and then did their own thing to undercut them. That is a jerk move. AOPA would be in the wrong. Or at least they should have been honest and said we are looking into doing it also. I am also not sure what the money math side of the equation is. How much did it cost to...

    Flying a PA/32 on BasicMed

    Yeah I do not get the low opinion on this either. If the AOPA lied to the company pursuing the STC that is kinda low. On the other hand, AOPA is not making any money on this. I see no issue here. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    contacting the faa

    Does anyone have the contact number or email for the department at the FAA that handles airplane titles and titles transfers? I have search but been unable to find it.

    The definitive PIC thread.

    I do not think so. You must be fully qualified and endorsed to fly the plane before you can log PIC. So when you are training for the rating you are not allowed to fly the plane without the instructor, therefore it is not PIC time. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Fatal Electric Aircraft Crash

    But I can tell you from talking to a few Tesla fans (one of which is a good friend of mine), you can not convince them that Tesla and electric cars are not going to take over the world within the next few years. He brings up that the chargers are "free" for X and S owners. Now granted 3 owners...

    Fatal Electric Aircraft Crash

    I agree 100%. I have been seriously considering getting my wife a Telsa as a commuter car. Out to work and back each day, and to run local errands. She already has a hybrid, and likes the idea of never going to a gas station again. Plus, we tend to use my car for longer trips because it can...

    Fatal Electric Aircraft Crash

    Back on the efficiency of batteries, you have to also consider the energy lost in the charging and discharging cycle. Most batteries are capable of discharging between 60 to 70% of the energy put into them. So yes the electric motor may have 90% thermal efficiency, but the batteries do not...

    Learning to use the JPI 830 Engine monitor

    We may need to talk. I have an 830 going into a PA32R as we speak.

    Time Required to Replace AK-451 With ACK E-04

    For an install of an ACK E-04 I was quoted 5 to 6 hours of time, if I wanted the connection made to the GPS unit, and no cable currently existed. This included partial removal of the interior and accessing behind the panel. No sure how much time difference it makes, but mine was a retrofit for...

    How to get a title search done directly with the FAA

    Plane is still active insured and in use by me. It was my father's plane and it has already been cleared from a tax perspective. Just unclear why I have not been given the go ahead to transfer title. Thinking I should do a little legwork myself to speed things up. Sent from my SM-G950U using...
