    I applied for 3rd class. Now I am too far to turn back.

    SSRIs are great drugs for the right patient, for the right reason- and those reasons are numerous.

    Is Dan Gryder the biggest asset to aviation on youtube?

    His earlier days promoting AQP were great. Then I think the internet started fanning the flames of his ego and things degraded after that. And that’s a shame, because his recent antics and personality seem to discredit AQP rather than promote it, and AQP is much more valuable to aviation than...

    Student pilot flying with Private pilot

    @Gary Ward what is the identity and purpose of that red behemoth of a vehicle in the background? It looks like it can pull a mountain and yet be comfortable enough to live in.

    Student pilot flying with Private pilot

    Some insurance policies or rental agreements may require the PIC to be in the left seat.

    My wife would disagree! :D

    Finding old medical records

    You satisfactorily explained it: vasovagal. Additionally it is non recurring by your statement. You’re clear.

    First class medical with Schizoid

    Agreed. Even if you are a little Schizoid, all PDs are a spectrum. I’m sure a lot of pilots are a little narcissistic too. And probably OCPD. Don’t make trouble for yourself by going to psych for a diagnosis. If you give a carpenter a hammer, he’s going to find a nail to hit. You’re going to...

    GTX345, GTN750xi, GMA35 not getting audible warnings

    Did what you suggested, Ryan. Thanks for that file. The transponder is definitely talking. Actually changed the voice to female- found it more attention-grabbing than the male voice. All the test messages are loud and clear. The funny part is, before I even fooled with the transponder I played...

    First Buy and Understanding Taxes

    Georgia has the same thing called the casual sale rule. If you buy the plane from Joe Schmoe and you’re not using it for business then it’s tax free. If you buy it from Airplane Brokers R Us then you pay sales tax.

    Notice to Air Mission

    Any thoughts on this change of wording? Grammatically I don’t think it is correct. An air mission seems to be a conceptual thing like a process rather than a concrete, animate object. I’m not sure you can notify a process. You could notify the people performing the process, such as airmen...

    GTX345, GTN750xi, GMA35 not getting audible warnings

    I have a GTX345 that is “connext”ed (or whatever Garmin calls it) to the 750. I have not heard a traffic call out or seen an alert reported on the 750 screen. Maybe havent been close enough yet but just the other day a Cherokee passed right to left about 500 feet below and was close enough that...

    GTX345, GTN750xi, GMA35 not getting audible warnings

    The only thing I think might be using those unmuted inputs would be the GFC500 for disconnect annunciations, altitude limits, etc. Does that sound right? No pun intended. Trying to learn all this stuff. Either way definitely a job for an avionics guy. I’ll start beating the bushes. I really...

    GTX345, GTN750xi, GMA35 not getting audible warnings

    Why would someone not connect the two? I have an older audio panel: Apollo SL15m. Do you know if I have to upgrade?

    Divided Household

    A wife who supports your aviation habit is precious enough to have the plane painted pink if she wants.

    GTX345, GTN750xi, GMA35 not getting audible warnings

    I found the click volume setting and it was already at around 75. I turned it all the way up and still don’t hear clicks. I did some research and discovered I can hold down the Home button on boot and get to a config mode where some audio settings can be adjusted but it requires some navigating...

    GTX345, GTN750xi, GMA35 not getting audible warnings

    Joe, I have a 750 doing the same thing. No clicks, call outs, nada. Did your shop ever get to the bottom of it?

    Received a denial for third class medical due to OCD.

    That's pretty much it. I recommend you establish with a board-certified psychiatrist. Have your PCP refer you to one so everyone is in the loop. After a visit or two (or as long as it takes for psych to feel comfortable writing a letter outlining EVERY ITEM in the FAA's request, i.e. history...

    Who is PIC once the sun sets?

    Preferably after landing. Bring parachutes otherwise.

    Potentially Forced Into HIMS Due To A Tattoo

    Of course I see the problem with it, but you asked what should you do? And my advice is to await requests from the FAA and send them whatever they ask for. If I came across as justifying your AME’s decision or failing to sympathize with your problem then I apologize. Your medical was deferred...
