I really like using Pilotedge for this type of stuff.

We had a rule that if you hit the player in the head, you were out. The smallest kid in class was actually a good pick because he crouched the whole time and could actually catch a ball if it wasn't thrown hard enough. he sat in the back and the only way to get him out was towards the end of the...

I always loved when teams had to be picked. Nobody wants to lose so they pick who they think is best. Didn't matter if its their worst enemy. "I was really hoping you wouldn't pick me cause I was going to knock your head off" "I had to pick the best of what losers were left" No racism, sexism...

1B9 is covered by Bridgeport Flight Service at 800-922-7433 or on 122.5 or 122.6 or you can call up Boston Approach directly on 124.1 (they'll help you if they aren't too busy). No phone number is needed here, that is why you don't see one

If you aren't ADS-B yet I would consider staying simple with the radios and getting a gnx 375.

The comments section of Foreflight usually has this covered. If it doesn't, Airports where it is the only option will have something on the chart supplement (AFD) that words something like this one for Quincy CA "CLEARANCE DELIVERY PHONE: For CD ctc NorCal Apch at 916-361-6874"...

This sounds like an overwhelmed controller who didn't actually give an instrument clearance but implied one (maintin VFR UNTIL ESTABLISHED). Personally, I would be hounding the controller for a proper clearance limit and approach clearance just to have 0 doubt, but I don't think what happened...

I use contact approaches into Concord a few times a year coming in from the south east. I know I am the only person who does it because I asked once and they said there is just one guy who requests them every once in a while. I request it when it is borderline visual approach conditions but I...

I don't have any kids, but I love giving parental advice over facebook.

Ran out of the fresh stuff and found a few month old bag of beans in the pantry. Its not great but its coffee. Besides being smart and always having fresh beans around, what do you do to keep an "emergency stash" somewhat fresh?

If you get a T210 you'll stop flying the straight leg 182 and you will miss the Conquest's capabilities and your wife will miss the pressurization. My vote is you sell both planes and get a P210 or Malibu.

This is dependent on the airplane. In my Archer I try to be at 90 knots at the FAF. that is roughly 1500 rpm, no flaps on 3 degree glide path. Even if I break out at ILS minima (200-1/2) I can get that thing stopped in 3000' of runway from there (using flaps at that point). In the Bonanza's I...

Bad GA landings happen one of two ways. 1. Pilot tries to fish the runway like a 737 captain. 2. flares too early too much and stall the airplane high off the ground. Fly Vref trimmed out to the threshold. Over the threshold slowly cut power and hold the pitch attitude with the yoke. You will be...

keep your phone in your pocket... Dude says your gps failed, your ipad failed, and your iphone failed. Your next move should probably be landing somewhere because there is a major issue. The one time last year I brought a paper plate, it went out the window on accident.

I have never paid dual when the instructor wasn't in the plane. I'd be willing to bet people who charge dual for solos also never finish someone up before 80 hours

If I think I will be in IMC I will print off one plate for my destination and will spend 5 minutes writing down frequencies and other info I think I might need during the flight on the back of it. I have used this sheet exactly 0 times thus far since I have yet to have my GPS, Iphone, and Ipad...

I just got (last week) a very gently used mini 4, 128gb, lte off ebay for $280. So far I am happy with it. Battery life seems to last forever compared to what I was used to. My original ipad air was crashing constantly and my phone lacked a couple of nice to have functions. I have been using it...

I have never heard of crossing radials being given without it having a waypoint name. But if you big knob to waypoint group and little knob to the last one "user waypoint" you should be able to make a waypoint using 2 VOR radials or 1 VOR radial and distance. fly to that waypoint and use obs for...

I just spent 10k repairing the wing spar on my plane. Was it about to break apart and fall out of the sky. No, not even close, but there was a little bit of wear and corrosion in there. Very few of us are buying brand new Pipers. No matter what the guy before us says, we don’t know for certain...

A lot of people use one way in one way out ops there. Shouldn’t be busy, just talk and coordinate
