    GNC 255 Radio - Automatic Decoding

    I would frustrate my CFII when I would tuned to a nav aid, decoded and announced the station ID / status, switched off the audio, and returned to other duties before he could look down at the chart / plate and decode the dots and dashes. My frustration was the station ID wasn't at some...

    Tan-Tar-A...there may be hope...

    We used to go to Tan-Tar-A for a quick getaway as it was a short hop from the KC metro, but we haven't been since Marriott sold it. Lately we've flown into either Gaston's or Pettit Jean.

    Missing Cessna 210 - Colorado to Utah

    You are welcome. I could have phrased the question better, and I apologize if it offended you. Not being able to find the tail number mentioned in the usual sources; media reports, the FAA "Preliminary Accident and Incident Reports", and the NTSB "Aviation Accident Database & Synopses" to...

    Missing Cessna 210 - Colorado to Utah

    But, how did you make the leap of the tail number from the OP to the FAA registry? I haven't see the tail number mentioned in any of the articles that I have found.

    Student Pilot weather minimums, not solo

    Sorry for the confusion. The POH states, "Maximum Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity." Though it is not a limit, colloquially it was used to set the crosswind guidelines that were later expanded as experience was gained.

    Student Pilot weather minimums, not solo

    When learning to fly in my neighborhood, The Great Plains, one would never get any flight time if they waited for winds less than 7G11. Especially between the months of March and February. My instructor also used the limits in the POH as the upper boundary, including wind gusts. As I gained...

    KAP 140 problem

    Did they also pull the servo mount and check the torque on the Pitch Servo slip-clutch? I believe there is a Service Memo that recommends periodically checking the slip-clutch torque for all the servos.

    wrong place to turn around a point?

    I didn't say he was. You are reading more into it than what was written. I was thinking of 14 CFR 91.119 and congested areas when I wrote that. For all I know he could have been at 1001 agl. Also, I didn't see anything on the article about turns about a point. That is why I mentioned 8's on...

    wrong place to turn around a point?

    What if it was 8s on Pylons and he was at the pivotal altitude? Regardless, the pilot shouldn't have been under 1000 ft in a congested area.
