Since you only have one pump, how do you handle flaps and gear if left engine quits. I have seen very little about this. Especially flaps. I did read that prior to feathering you can leave the engine to windmill which will still drive the pump. Do what needs to be done with gear/flaps, and then...

Thanks for the feedack. So what I am getting from this is mostly year is low on the totem pole. Look for engines that are a quarter to a third of the way to TBO (let someone else be the guinea pig). Also I keep seeing “RAM” this and “RAM” that. I am assuming RAM does all types of mods and...

I am looking at aztecs, 340s, and maybe barons. All Turbo models. I have read all the arguments of which is best and the pros and cons. Not looking for a ****ing contest. So here are my questions. What is the main deciding factor between same model aircraft. Or how would you rank these in...

I emailed them and requested that they add a slightly longer delay to when you tap a point on the map, and it quickly opens up a box with info about the place you tapped. It happens much too quickly. More often than not, I am just trying to pan around in the map, and the box unintentionally...

Actually, I just looked at the MVA chart again, and it is 7800 and then goes up to 8700. So even though he wasn't being vectored, why would you give a minimum altitude when that min altitude will need to increase by 900 feet as the pilot flies the approach? The controller's screw up led to the...

They both screwed up, but what I don't get is the controller. Why say 7800. Might as well say 0. It's the same thing here. Pilot shouldn't be below 10,000 at that point. Why couldn't the controller just say maintain 10,000 until established inbound, cleared VOR DME-C approach. The 7800 is...

Nice! This might bring me over to ForeFlight.

The amount of bad information here is crazy. I have Garmin Pilot APP (not Garmin hardware GPS) on my iPad. I paid for the Jepp charts. It is $199 for the entire USA for 1 year on top of Garmin Pilot's normal prices. It works great I have access to both the Jepp charts and the FAA charts. IMO...

Correct, but how does one determine how far the drag line goes back or forward? It doesn't seem like it is based on any measurement.

Well if you look at diagram A and Diagram B. Look at how much further back the drag line is. I could bring it much further forward, there by bring TAF further forward.

Please see attached photo. I could not wrap my head around this one yet. Maybe someone here can explain it and it will click for me. Look on the right in figure B. The red line in the middle goes thru the center of pressure.the green Lift line comes out of the center of pressure too. The dashed...

When I was learning to be a CFI, he would have me talk to him as though he was learning to get his private. So on short final, I said put the centerline between your legs. He said to say "feet", not "legs". Doesn't sound good for female students.

Wheels, how is it clear. It doesn't say that at all. I'm not disputing the correct answer, but just curious as to how you are reading this and calling it clear. It just says "checkride". My CFI has NOT expired.

Well, the second example says take a checkride for a CFI rating. The first one just says checkride. Anyway, it's easy enough to just to the AOPA/Jepp online course. Thanks for the tips.

Yeah, that's what I thought. But I read here that it does work. I guess they just aren't clear about it. http://cfiacademy.com/informationcfi-mentoring10-ways-renew-cfi/ Look at the first method.

My CFI is NOT expired. I have been renewing it every 2 years with the online Jepp/AOPA course. I want to prevent it from expiring. So I was wondering if a checkride for the helicopter can be used in lieu of the online course.

I have a CFI/MEI/I in the airplane. I am now working on my Commercial for Helicoper. Will passing the commercial practical test in the helicopter renew my Airplane CFI?

The $40 ASA one works great. Apparently you get what you pay for with cheap stuff.

Well after a little more research, I think the issue isn't the thickness. It is the tip of the plug that comes shaped slightly differently. The outlet grabs and holds the tip of the plug. Apparently my Adapter wasn't designed to hold that type of tip. I ordered a $40 ASA one from amazon today...
