Texting has it's benefits and utility. There are many I know that if I call them to ask a simple question, I will be on the phone talking about nothing for 30 minutes. These people you TEXT!! Gene

Flyers, I thought I’d relate an incident that happened to me today (11-25-12). I was flying two friends down to Long Beach Island and Seaside Heights, NJ because one was former homeowner and he wanted to see his old house and the area from the air (he’s 94, a pilot, former ’63, Mooney and 210...

Well, I suggest the second step to further your immersement. Call the local Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) and knock out your medical and get your Student Pilot Certificate. NOW you'll not only have your big toe in the water, but the whole first foot. It's about a 65 to 85 dollar investment...

Scoot, If you try and save the money working at Sonic for your lessons, it can be done, but to be honest, you will not fly enough per week or per month to make economical progress. (Hey, not to be Debbie Downer, but this is reality.) Now, almost every father, especially pilot fathers, want...

Dang! That was very well put. :yes:

Yes, I have the flow chart in my checklist book. I have to refer to it everytime, because, as you stated, "It's not very intuitive." I understand that it's not a fuel gauge and have never looked at it that way. I get the "garbage in, garbage out" philosphy of this unit. All my whining and...

You're not going to get any flack for your answer; at least not from me. I learned to fly because I thought and still think flying is really cool, fun and challenging. Once I learned to fly, I quickly discovered, "Hey! I can really go places that are way too far to go by car and much too short...

Flyers, I have the EDM800 and there is one very frustrating thing that I hope will be fixed or maybe has already been fixed with a firmware update that I don't yet have. BTW, I have no idea what firmware I am using, but the unit is about a year old. Here's an example situation: 1) a pilot...

:yes::yes: I could not have said it better. And that's tough for me to admit! :D

:yes: Gene

This is a point I will give you. I thought of this, but didn't mention it because I didn't want to confuse everyone. Yes, every payment made in the first year, about 200 goes to principle and about 320 goes to interest in my example. (BTW, I put the wrong interest rate in...I meant to put 6.75%...

Here you go: Buy a 60K 172 with midtime engine and finance it at 6.25% for 15 Years: payment $530.95. Put it in a hanger at $400.00 per month (you could tie it down at 70.00 per month, but then you can increase maintenance and shorten the time to re-paint it and most importantly, when you go...

Just becareful with the new Bad Elf Pro. It over heats if placed on top of the glare shield and shuts down and can't be turned off. You can turn it off with the secret hand shake of holding the power button for over 10 seconds. They are aware of the problem and are working on a fix or a...

Go to BWI, Go IFR and Pay the fees. 1 year from now you'll never miss the money.

So what. No one said he was *staring* at it. He most likely saw something in his peripherial vision that caught his attention and he made note of it. We also check our DG, TC, slip-skid indicator, whiskey compass and oil pressure while taxiing too. Does that make us dangerous or...

It was never intended to be a primary stop gap or warming system...but it appears to be intended as a second layer of protection. Maybe if Comm Air Flight 191 had this feature it would have saved 49 lives, a nice aircraft and a big black eye to aviation. If we don't need this kind of...

I haven't been there in a while, but I use Signature Flight Support and although they are expensive (9.53 per gallon for 100LL :yikes:) Their service is first class. I can't remember the ramp fee or landing fees, but I know they waved something if I got about 7 or 8 gallons of fuel. Maybe I...

For a local flight: Start with Weatherbug (forcast and radar maps) Go to ADDS digital aviaion weather next, prog charts, metars, TAF's, winds aloft, PIREPS, AIRMETS, SIGMETS, etc. Foreflight/DUATS to have it on record I checked, to have NOTAMS and TFR's Garmin 696 with XM WX for...

That's fine, but can you cover the GPS and have it still "see" the sky?
