    Using descriptors instead of N number

    You're approaching the field and you hear "Skyhawk 77R, 5 southwest for right downwind 22". Shortly thereafter you hear "Twin Cessna 1BC 7 SE for left downwind 22". Doesn't that tell you about all you need to know re: inbound traffic? To my mind, that paints a pretty good picture. Once you're...

    Accident avoided Cessna Skylane versus F-16 at KTOL on the way to KOSH

    I agree November was too soon but Delta should have been where he exited lacking any further direction from ATC. Imagining myself right there, I would have thought that with jets landing on crossing runways the tower is going to want me to exit expeditiously and if I wanted to go the far end of...

    The next drop was brown (firefighting plane close call)

    I bet they lifted their feet off the rudders as they yanked on the stick!

    I hate birds without ADSB

    @WannFly , my interpretation of 14 CFR § 91.159 is the VFR cruising altitudes don't kick in until you are above 3000 AGL. At my home drome, 3800 MSL would put you below the floor for that requirement. At KFAR with a field elevation of 896 it wouldn't actually kick in until 3897 MSL at which...

    GDL-39 query

    In my case I've had a GDL39 for years but no out. Now I have the Appareo ESG OUT with the Stratus 3 receiver. I'm torn because I'm a Garmin Pilot user and the GDL interfaces to my Aera 510 GPS as well as my BT devices. If I make the switch to FF, the GDL goes up for sale.

    Cessna 172 used price

    I have to think low unemployment and a 10 + year bull market have contributed to the run up as well. People have jobs, inflation is negligible - rising tide floats all ships...

    20N kingston ulster pirep

    I have it in mind I'd like to see an airshow at Rhinebeck Aerodrome. Would 20N be the logical choice then I assume? Is the experience worth it?
