I had a similar problem recently. The 430 stopped giving LPV approaches and would default to LNAV. This continued happening for a couple months. Later, I noticed on one cross country that every time transmitting on 132.025 caused the GPS to completely lose reception and go into "Ded Reckoning...

Weird. Cause my phones and gadgets have been getting smarter every couple years.:dunno:

Amen!

I did have a date once who preferred organic coconut oil.

Recently had to replace a spring on our 172. Few bucks for the spring itself. Almost $400 in labor.

Nah. Just James. :D

Umm. This is why we have a fridge full of beer in our hangar.

We have plenty of land here -- check out KEDC in Google earth. But the owner is not the least bit interested in building more hangars. They can't make their ROI numbers justify the business decision. I was told it would take over 10 years to pay off a row of T hangars. It completely baffles me...

I do not believe the hype that GA is in trouble. Not while it is impossible to find a hangar in the Austin Texas metro area without either waiting 8 years or knowing the right people. Alternatively, someone should do a real research study on how the lack of hangar availability is affecting GA.

You said you're relocating to Florida from California. Why? Have you already quit your job in California? Here's my advice. 1. Don't quit your job or do anything rash yet. 2. Figure out if you can get your first class medical, and if so go ahead and get it. However, do not walk into the...

I don't understand why he'd care. What's in it for him?

Curious why you ruled out flying back at night. Too tired or something against VFR at night?

Lake Whitney airport closed a few years ago. Evidently the new head of the park decided he didn't like the noise of the aircraft and he NOTAMED it closed.

Like Lou says, either EDC or GTU is fine. GTU will have transient tiedowns at the main terminal and gas will be much cheaper: currently $3.15/gal. Check your NOTAMS before leaving as they will be closing 18/36 at some point for construction -- might not happen for a few weeks though. If you...

Here's another good Dilbert cartoon. http://dilbert.com/strip/2011-02-20

Thanks Obama!

As has already been said here, don't do this part 91. Even with a Commercial Certificate. It is holding yourself out and is a violation. Look what happened to flytenow.

Make the hours worthwhile: get another endorsement or rating. Get your complex / HP if you don't have it. Join a flying club. Meet other pilots. Volunteer to be safety pilot and log PIC. Do it in a complex and log PIC complex. Marry a girl who is rich and wants you to fly her around.

Few nights ago. VMC. A Gulfstream IV called a 20 mile final TITAPA. I had just called base in my bug smasher. I assume he'd just been handed off to advisory, I don't know. But he was so fast compared to me, that I'm glad he reminded me to advise him. Otherwise, my next call might not have been...

Still not getting it. Doesn't explain why the precision approach is 1881-2.5 but both LNAV and circling is 1780-1.
