Be sure to get the quad or 4-way version of the flu shot. The ordinary flu shot has three varieties. The three way was 100% paid by my health insurance. Last year, the four way was a $5 upcharge. This year, there was no upcharge. I asked around & all the health care professionals get the four...

Sectionals for me. I’ve been using them for so long that I can handle the high level of information comfortably. Can’t see the value in streamlining the charts for everyday cross country travel.

I consistently get the big red X over the same tank when operating the G1000 on battery backup or master bus only. Once I turn on the avionics bus, it goes away. If it persisted during flight, I’d have the problem sought out & fixed.

You have a high wing plane. Siphon out 33 lbs with a plastic tube. This won't take long.

Get a late model iPhone. With iOS upgrades, it will last the longest. My iPhone 7 Plus has a Pelican cover and fits in any pocket I wear. I work in the oilfield; plenty tough enviroment.

We don't use the new FF aeronautical charts. The sectional charts are what we prefer and satisfy our needs.

Sales tax is the only tax I've had to pay on my plane.

KSSF is way preferable to KSAT. Great food both on-field and nearby. And, timewise just as close to the Riverwalk.

Easy to phone the tower, if you have questions.

I rarely file VFR flight plans, but always call 1-800-WXBRIEF to get a weather briefing for my longer cross country flights. Doesn't take a lot of time to get as complete a picture as possible. The hot MOAs are good to know, too.

I've never listened to the XM music in my plane. That part is a waste for me. I just don't get to fly enough to create the desire for that kind of a diversion.

iPro Aviator is our favorite.

Critical iOS devices in the cockpit should be utilized in pairs. I use an iPad & iPhone combo with confidence. Also, latest version of many apps begin to out-class iOS devices greater than three years of age. This includes the iOS itself as well. My 2012 iPad quit being reliable last year...

Any pilot who is similarly motivated to introduce Boy Scouts to aviation can contact their area Scout Service Center and register as a Merit Badge Counselor for this Aviation Merit Badge. Volunteering to introduce youth to aviation promotes it's value in a great way.

We had a nasty cold frontal system blow thru that night.

I had a pair of gradient sunglasses before and they bugged me for flying use. Probably because I'd never used any with gradient before. My current sunglasses are completely neutral gray with distance Rx on top half and computer distance (fingertip distance to panel) Rx on bottom half.

I understand this standby battery to be an ordinarily three year type item. My cost to replace last month was $1065 plus one hr of labor.

Section 179 !! Send the money to Uncle Sam or buy a plane; you get to keep the plane.

My last prescription sunglasses were gradient. I had no prior experience with gradient and found them annoying. Another vote for non-polarized because sometimes the first indication of traffic is when the brief glint of sunlight off their windscreen catches your eye.
