    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    I believe we also went from 720 channels to 760 channels but the upper 40 gets very little use.

    Location reporting in magnetic or true?

    Well, you could report GUSSE but then you might be asked to fly a DME arc. :) I wonder if they'll understand "Rattlesnake Slope"?

    I'm having way too much fun putting together my CFI notebook...complete with original illustrations.

    I'll be sure to not hang a disco ball in the cockpit.

    Hot starts and engine shut downs

    The fuel injection lines are at the top of the engine so are really good at soaking up heat, which adds additional pressure. The "don't touch anything" means that you're relying on the throttle being at the ideal position for a start (1100RPM) and on the pressurized fuel to be sufficient to...

    Best way to create and use custom checklists (electronic vs paper)?

    In the event of an off-field landing, a paper checklist is less of a projectile than an unsecured iPad.

    California is a governor's signature away from banning 100LL in 2031

    Perhaps among the LyContisaurs. The Rotax guys I’ve talked to seem more than happy to pay for 100 hour oil changes on unleaded vs 25 on 100LL. Of course it helps that they’re only burning 5gph or so.

    Scooters safe for GA?

    Unless I'm flying somewhere where the ground transportation is part of the attraction, my limit is 30 minutes unless there's no other option.That is, if I have to spend more than 30 minutes walking then I will pack a bike/scooter. If I have to spend more than 30 minutes biking/scooting, I'll...

    Is there a pilots emergency landing phone app!

    A few times I've reported an ELT to ATC. I never heard anything of them so hopefully they were malfunctions. There was one time I heard a mayday call from a 150 or 152 and relayed it to ATC. A passing airliner also heard it and served as go-between since ATC couldn't hear them directly. I later...
