Savvy Aviation can look at it for you for less than you will spend to go there. They will review the logs and inpect the airplane. They will tell you what they see and dicuss with you the pros and cons of going forward with a full prebuy. My Austin club did exactly this for a Washington...

When did this incident happen?

I agree with most of his opinions, but I find the cornball humor to be forced and not amusing.

I Martha did not fly under a bridge then she should fight the FAA on this tooth and nail. If she did in fact fly under a bridge, and I suspect she did, then she should take her medicine like a big girl. You can tap dance like a teenager with your whataboutism all you want, but flying under a...

This will be my first time in the probably unaircondtioned UW dorms. Anything I should know about the dorm experience?

The Navy B model did not have that long nose that gave the F-111 it’s name: Aardvark. And it is true that there is a huge amount of Vark DNA in the Tomcat.

The Arrow is a phone booth with its tiny interior. The Cardinal’s cabin is wider than that of a 182 and far more rear seat legroom. The Cardinal has the best cockpit visibility of any airplane in its class, it is almost a bubble canopy, especially compared to the strutted Cessnas, with their...

It is not realistic to expect to fly with the same CFII at most flight schools unless you schedule a ten day full time intensive course.

This video on the British Submarine command course is pretty interesting. https://www.amazon.com/How-Command-Nuclear-Submarine/dp/B074X89VG6

My club just started a $50K upgrade on our Dakota, an all singing and dancing Garmin system including a 650, dual G5s, and a fancy Garmin Autopilot. We wanted a TAA and have researched this issue. This document gives a lot of insight into the thinking behind 61.129...

If you have a sick passenger maybe just telling the controller you have a medical issue would work better than getting into a ****ing contest with the controller.

That was my old squadron, 90FS in the Phillipines in the early 80s! A wrench had been glued into the tailcone with anticorrosion paint. In the F-4 we did full aft stick takeoffs. On this flight the wrench fell into the elevator controls during the takeoff role, jamming the elevator full...

Yes. This would be the fifth claim in five years, four of which were on this airplane.

We've looked into that. Our agent says trying to reform with the same airplanes at the same base with the same people won't fool the insurance compaines.

My club's CardinalRG, has suffered a nose gear up landing at Dallas Exec. Because of prior claims on this aircraft our insurance agent advises that if we make a claim on this incident our club, which has existed since 1980, may well become unnsureable. I'd like to learn how salvage auctions...

I’ve done this before, when you start turning the tool the radio starts moving immediately. You are correct, it takes a lot of turns, but the radio does move as you turn. I think the suggestions that there may be something amiss with the screw mechanism is credible. Sine this is a fairly new...

It takes a lot of turns to take these radios out, I've done it before. It sure feels like the jack screw is turning all the way from tight to lose to tight. Probably taking the box above the radio is a good idea. But that's a fairly new GTN-650 that we paid a boat load of money for, and I'm...

I had something strange happen today. A couple of weeks ago our club's C177RG suffered failure of the PS Engineering audio panel. PS Engineering was great, they gave me an RMA, I sent it to them and got it back in about a week, looking brand new. Cost ~$600 plus shipping to them. So today I...

Mine is set to shut down the server when there is 8 minutes of power left, I'd rather ensure I have an orderly shutdown than try an extract every last coulomb of energy from the battery.
