You may need to do 100 hour inspections.

+1 for flyers Addison.

I don't hate dogs per se, but I just dislike the majority of dog owners, at least we're there a precious little pets are concerned. When I am king in order to own a dog you must have at least 10 acres per dog in your household. If your lot is smaller than 10 acres then you're banned from...

Our Cardinal has those. My A&P told me those are sealed off on most Cessnas because they let in a lot of water, and now that we don't use vacuum tubes very much these days you don't need them.

I haven't been there to see it, the next time I speak to him I'll ask for an update.

Another old system that we used in 1975 at USAF nav school in the mighty T-29 was CONSOLAN. This was a low frequency transmitter that required only a low frequency radio to use. You could get up to 360 lines of position from the station, based on morse code audio, similar to the way the old...

You are taking really serious risks if you don't update your Windows, OS-X, Android, or iOS operating systems periodically. In the case of Windows you're asking for Ransomwear. And you're antivirus probably won't detected that until it's too late.

It's fine to drag your feet on an OS upgrade, but in the long term you're seriously opening your system to compromise by evil doers if you insist on staying behind the current releases.

I was so looking forward to an October visit to PortA, sigh. I'd better give them some more time to dig out. :(

My friend Brian just got back from flying his Mooney 231 around the world. IIRC his longest leg was 19 hours, the range of his Mooney was 2800NM. He had a 100 gallon aux tank.

A Mooney is the closest to what you want, but the M20C/E requires kind of a stretch of the imagination to call it a four seat. The RV's are closer to what you want, and the reason they don't have retractable gear is because they don't need it to get the speed and range people like. Many of...

After consulting an attorney the 'operations manual' for our equity club consists of the Federal Aviation Agency regulations and the restrictions imposed by our insurance policy.

If you have weight and space a spare tire is nice, if not then at least spare tubes for your tires.

I can see how Army to Air Force would be pretty painless. I sorta did the reverse, spending my last 2 years as an Air Force Liaison Officer at Fort Hood. From that experience I think USAF -> Army is a little bit painful. At least Fort Hood is mechanized, so I didn't have to spend weeks...

I don't see the problem for most of us. I'm a basic med pilot. Assuming I meet all the requirements in 91.109 me and the hooded pilot agree that while the hood is being worn them I'm acting as PIC. If there is a problem I promise to reach over and yank the guy's hood off, thus making him both...

I don't know how to quantify it, but there is a YOUGE difference in value and utility between an airplane in which the pilot has an equity interest compared to renting somebody else's airplane. If you rent from an FBO you really have no expectation that anything more than the most basic...

In April 2015 'Miss Piggy', one of NOAA'S P-3's came by Bergstrom. Dr. Jeff Masters, a principle at Weather Underground, flew 249 Hurricane missions as meteorologist. I believe this was his last mission: https://www.wunderground.com/resources/education/hugo1.asp

I flew in actual IMC both during training and on my instrument checkride.
