ADSB will show AP mode and disconnect.

Gryder says it was due to deterioration of the trim tab/elevator. He makes a pretty good case. It may just be an AD for these older aircraft, especially the ones operated in maritime environments.

Obviously, the charm and style of the original is diminished, but I'd take it anyway.

My answer: Get one of each!

I have a Jepp subscription. I never saw a means of updating terrain. I update Nav Data every cycle.

I didn't even know you could update the terrain cards. I don't know if it's related, but I have had trouble with new data cards. I had two that would not accept data updates from Jepp. Garmin was good about it and sent replacements. The last one finally worked. I knew it wasn't my card...

I just hope that if I ever wad up an airplane and people are thinking "WTH was he trying to do here?" I can just tell 'em!

Again? Wasn't MH370 enough for them?

Thank you. I figured it has to be possible. I did it on my Sundowner, and that's much more difficult. The parts are now impossible to find, and you can't run wires through the wings without de-riveting the flap channel or drilling multiple inspection holes. I have wig wag HID lights in the...

Is it practical to add another landing/taxi light combination on the starboard wing of a Cessna 182E? I added very bright LED lights in both positions on the port side. They're good, but making a right hand turn on a dark taxiway at night leaves something to be desired. I did it on my...

It is not something that I am going to get all bent out of shape about. I've already seen it all, and depending on what it is, I might even have one of my own.

Also, the pressure for an employee to get the brand new wheels on a runway instead of destroying the airframe a mile or two short of the threshold. If his employer thought he could have made it back to the airport, he'd be looking for a new job. I know it's better than being dead, but it's a...

If I can make it go away by pressing a key, it's not something I'm going to get all upset about.

It might have been poor wx knowledge on the part of the pilot, but it would have gotten me too. I would not expect a 60+ kt gust. In that wx, I'd be in the hangar.

60+ mile an hour wind gust on takeoff roll.

...and it will cost you much more than you thought.

At nine years old?

Likewise, I don't understand why "youngish children" like the 4th grader in 8C need to have a smartphone.

I can't accept the level of feigned indignation that permeates our society. If you don't like the picture, delete it. Don't take to the fainting couch because your retinas were scarred by someone's genitalia.

You obviously have never met my ex-wife.
