It just had a cover that I pried off. It's still in auto mode, can't really see anything else that would indicate it going off. The fact I heard it over the ground control freq initially makes me think it's mine. I assume I can recycle it by going to off and back to auto?

Nope no handheld unfortunately. Is that going to cause issue flying around with it knowingly on for someone or is it w/e

Ugh I just started preflighting a 172 and as soon as I turn on the master and avionics I hear a siren going off thru my headset then goes away. I thought that was strange as none of the radios were on 121.5 so I tuned to 121.5 to see if my suspicions were real and sure enough it's a loud peew...

There are many of a pilot who believe you should be proficient in the technology you are using. So if you are purposefully avoiding it to satisfy a mentality of "paper only", then when its time to actually do it, you're fumbling around in IMC. It's good to learn both ways so you know what...

I love FltPlan Go. Been trying out the free tiral versions of all the other apps and I always find myself coming back. The UI isn't as pretty as foreflight and some of the others, but once you use it for a while it all becomes pretty intuitive. I haven't flown instruments with it, but I can't...

Does anyone have any good resources on how to interpret Skew-Ts? To be honest I had never heard of them until I saw them mentioned on here in other threads. They seem like a great resource especially down here in Florida. Trying to find something that clearly explains it without getting too deep...

Key West cost me $90 for overnight and 10 gallons of fuel. They even waived some $30 fee and gave me 50 cents off/gal on the fuel for a weekend "special". For some reason I still feel shafted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks a lot better than that purple R22 that's for sure

This is the second time I've seen this recently. Someone will be taxiing out around 9 and the tower closes shop and cuts the lights. 10 minutes later I hear a plane rumbling down the runway in complete darkness and I'm left scratching my head why. I've seen this now in Meridian and Saratoga so I...

Jokes on you ForeFlight I use Fltplan Go for free and have somehow survived so far.

Damn that sucks! I was just down there like 6 months ago rippin around corners in a 911 :D :D

Already complex endorsed, but it was 3 years ago, in a 172RG. I got the endorsement, found the plane would randomly lose all electric power, school refused to fix it, and that was the end of that. So I have maybe an hour or two in a real "complex", but wouldn't say I'm proficient by any means.

My experience has been fairly limited to Cessnas and I'm looking to start doing some trips with myself and 3 other passengers in the near future. Contrary to what I thought, the Arrow at the school has one of the highest useful loads of ~1050lbs. It's a 1975 Arrow II and has alway been kind of...

I have a Lightspeed 25XL that I think came out in 1998 that I still use for passengers. The earmuffs disintegrate every 3 years or so and the wires recently started to come apart. Drenched them in liquid tape and wrapped them like I would a baseball bat handle and its good as new again...

All you people saying most people suck need to sit down with my girlfriend and tell her that

It's been awhile since I've been to Marathon, so I can't answer your question, but I'll be heading down to KEYW Saturday so please stay out of my way :D

I used it today actually and liked it a lot. I did notice it used about double the battery life as FltPlan go, but still made it 2.5 hours on about 50%. I'll have to keep monkeying with it but I really like navlog printouts and stored flights in fltplan go. Same with all the extras like weight...

Does anyone have any links or resources about leaning and overall engine management? Having done my primary training a long time ago and just getting back into the game my leaning knowledge is basically full rich under 3000 and lean to engine roughness with three turns in above that. With...

I too just got back into it after about a 3 year hiatus. My first flight up for the flight review was one of the windiest days of the year as a direct crosswind. Nailed all the landings and my cfi was ready to sign me off after an hour but I asked to keep flying with him over the next couple of...
