    Tach to Hobbs conversion for logging

    I am pretty sure you can set it also to show Tach hours, which is RPM based on a baseline RPM. My installer needed that RPM to get up the G3X.

    BasicMed medical reporting requirements

    There is a difference in letting your medical expire and having your medical cease to be valid. If your medical expires (ie you just don't get a new on) you could fly gilders or LS. But if your medical is invalidated by a new medical condition, then you have a known issue. That doesn't mean...

    Busted altitude

    Good questions, but that is what happened. Maybe they looked into and found either the tapes showed a controller made an error or that since no Brasher was given, they couldn't do anything. But it happened.

    data cards

    Are you adding the WAAS in the same plane? Or in another plane? Or replacing the non-WAAS? It makes a difference in how to handle the subscription.

    Navigating to a DME via Garmin when Enroute

    I was reading a thread about T routes on another forum. And it seems that the controllers are not always up to date on fixes. Some of the T routes use fixes that are either close to or co-located with a "normal" fix. But the controller will give you a T route with the end being a fix that is...

    Absolutely crazy Bo fuel tanks

    Even with a simple system, pilots will run out of fuel to the engine with fuel in the tanks. Aerostars had a simple fuel system. One tank in each wing (wet wing) one fuselage tank. Fuel selectors to ON. Fly. With full fuel in all tanks, engine draw from fuselage tank for part of it, then...

    You must be a wimp shooter. :D As I said, I fired 200 rounds through mine the first time at the range and only stopped due to only bringing that much to the range. It shoots like a much larger pistol.

    Busted altitude

    And what part is wrong? I shortened the Brasher and never discussed WHAT action would occur. As for the second part, I have first hand knowledge of that happening.

    "You should return a deceased airman's certificate to the FAA"??

    For the same two reasons, I am not looking for my Dad's certificate to send it in.

    S1939 FAA Authorization amendment

    FAA doesn't run screening. That is TSA, which is part of DHS.

    Oxygen Concentrator for older folks flying between 7000 to 10,000 feet

    I lot of Mooney and Beech guys have Inogen units, mainly G5, but also G4. I run mine off the battery or a cigarette lighter plug depending on length of flight. It does 6 liters per minute at max, and that works for 2 people up to 14,000 and one person up to 18,000. When I am using it with 2...

    iPad mini 7 announced

    If you have Apple Care+, battery replacement is free. If not, their web site says $119 to replace battery. Most towns have a shop or two that will do it for less. You can also buy the battery for about $50 and replace it yourself.

    Looking for info on less lethal/non lethal self defense products

    I used to do a lot of teaching (NRA Pistol and Personal Protection instructor). I started all new shooters off with a .22 LR semi auto. Then to a full sized (Browning HP for one) 9mm. Then to a full sized .45 (1911). Most shooters were fine with them all in the first range session. I am not...

    Tach to Hobbs conversion for logging

    Not saying we logged from chock to chock, but pointing out that in other than GA flying, the chocks are pulled AFTER engine start. Yes, my military time was logged from take off to touchdown. No crew chief to do that for the planes I flew, so it was the RSU that captured the times. I kept a...

    Busted altitude

    No warning of possible deviation, they can't take action. But you could get a letter from the FAA about the issue and that it was investigated and closed.
