    What does this notam mean?

    I think so. Can I make a high approach? Can I use that runway if it’s not practice?

    What does this notam mean?

    This came under the “Closed/Unsafe Conditions” category and just want to be sure I understand what it’s saying: RWY 28 CLSD TO PLA AND LDG 1710251346-PERM So it’s saying runway closed to low approach and landing, but what exactly is that?

    How to be a better flight instructor... thoughts?

    Coming from a student, try to have fun, and act like your interested in teaching. Can't tell you how many instructors I've had who were browsing their phone and essentially just along for the ride.

    Non-Official Kids Log Book

    I would just get him a real logbook even if its just to monkey around with. A basic one from Sporty's is like $12 and it might wow him that he's writing time in the real deal. It would be a cheap thing to keep that excitement going.

    PIREP: QT Halo's

    Another happy Halo user here. The buying process was a little strange. If they're still doing the waiting list thing you have to call in and order it when he sends you an email. It just so happened when I called I interrupted the guy's lunch and it took 3 or 4 tries for him to get my address and...

    Comm/Electrical System Weirdness (VID)

    I'm still somewhat of a newbie on the G1000, but I'm not aware on how to actually turn off the radio (other than turning off Avionics Bus's, which I didn't do at the time). The best I could do was isolate both the COMM1 and COMM2 radios from each other, and I think the problem still remained...

    2 planes down, Flight Review done

    Did the fuel gauge ever correct itself? Sometimes rocking the wings on the ground will free things up.

    Comm/Electrical System Weirdness (VID)

    This was a first for me today: 2008 G1000 172S Turned on the master prior to start and heard a *piercing* noise of what sounded like fragmented words of the AWOS leaking over onto the CTAF frequency (CTAF was currently in the active spot). Example: ".........WIND......AT...

    "Best" IFR Home Study Course?

    I don't have anything to contribute, but Gold Method has a promo code: POA50 Brings it down to roughly the cost of Shep

    Roy Halladay's Icon A5 down off of Tampa Coast

    Adding to the speculation above...I heard rumor around the airport today (the tampa Icon training center) he was doing aggressive maneuvers and loops. Not sure of the validity of it but apparently there are pictures.

    2017 Garmin Pilot vs. Foreflight vs. WingX

    The Pi I ordered didn’t come with a micro sd card from what I recall, don’t see it listed on the ad either, but maybe I’m wrong. I had to completely reformat the one that I ordered though as the power supply issue I had corrupted the original sd. But you’re right it’s not hard, although a...

    2017 Garmin Pilot vs. Foreflight vs. WingX

    I guess I should've said build :) Here's my part list: 1) Raspberry PI $35 Here 2) Stratux Software $15 Here 3) Antennas $40 Here 4) Case $15 Here (This is different than the suggested one) 5) Battery $25 Here (This is different than the suggested one) 6) Charging Cable $6 Here (I highly...

    2017 Garmin Pilot vs. Foreflight vs. WingX

    This is my suggestion as well. You can hook up a $150 stratux and be set (Pretty sure you can do that with the others, but double check). All of them are good, they just vary in price. Someone once said just stick with one and learn the ins and outs so everything is automatic. I decided to do...

    I saw steveo1kinevo in his new Kodiak there. I didn't get to chat with him, but he seemed like a nice guy showing everything off. Plane was really cool too.

    Android apps

    Give fltplan go a shot too. It's similar to the other efb apps, but I'm able to plan and store flights well in advance and get printable nav logs, airport info, weather etc for any of them on demand. It's nice then refreshing the app and having everything I did on their website present for...

    Would You Make this Flight?

    That's a great way to look at it. If you feel you have to get back and theres no other option I wouldn't risk it. Such is life being a lowly renter where you might be charged for time lost if you keep the plane past your allotted slot. Makes the get-there-itis feeling just a little stronger.

    The Icon A5 is starting to attract buyers

    "It can transport two people at a high speed cruise of 95kts" I think I'd rather have an Air-Cam if I'm just tooling around on the water. Multi time to boot!
