You owe me a new keyboards, Doctor. :rofl::D:rofl::rofl::goofy:

Using a private pilot certificate for financial gain? Huh? Sounds like a good review of private pilot limitations is in order.

Congrats, and entertaining write up. Good job! :D

That will be 100 cross thread points. :D

Congrats. They'll get easier with more experience. Don't hesitate to take short breaks on your long XC, that'll make it much easier. The knowledge test should be a breeze, just be sure to get quite a few practice tests in and closely review the types of questions you're missing.

IBTL!

Yeah, unfortunately airplanes cost money. ;)

Unable, work. :(

A few days ago, I decided that aviation and firearms weren't putting enough of a dent in my bank account. So, time to start this ham radio thing. I studied the material for technician and the practice tests were up to 32-33 of 35 within about 24 hours of studying. So yesterday I started studying...

On instrument approach -- inverse L flow right at the FAF (fuel, cowl flaps, mixture, prop, gear, carb heat, seatbelts / switches) On visual approach -- gear down at 5 miles. Inverse L flow. Though if I'm instructed to make straight in, I'll head for the FAF and follow the instrument procedure...

Thanks, but I got it back home and that's the end of my involvement with it. The only reason I asked was to try to prevent unnecessary expense on the part of the owner -- plus preventing delays in my return or leaving the plane there because of radio issues. I'm flying a 182RG for under $150...

Well, made it back to KBJC from KRAP. I shut down all non-essentials in the radio stack. I kept one radio going when needed. That worked pretty well, no trouble at all. The shop is thinking the avionics fan failed and caused the overheating, but will dig further into things now that it is home.

Somewhat overrated. The beer is awesome, the chili is great, the steak required a sawzall to cut though all of the fat. I went a couple times when I was there. Not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again, however. Unless I just was going for a nice, ice cold beer. Then all bets are off...

I started my IR not even a month after my ASEL ride (12/2012). Started in 1/2013, passed the ride in 6/2013. I'm glad I got the IR. It made an astronomical difference in my flying overall, even though my landings suffered as a result. The options that it provides are very useful. The only...

Thanks for the replies. To add to the plot, I visited the plane today and when cool, the radios worked perfectly. Not really my problem, but I was trying to not cause the owner a major repair bill. I figured if there was anything basic that would be the cause, I'd just take care of it. Since...
