There was a good thread on this a while back. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/garmin-430w-what-databases-do-i-need.121920/

My thought is that VFR means VFR and IFR means IFR, regardless of whether it’s VMC or IMC. I think you’d have a lot of explaining to do if you filed IFR and got a vector that would put you in a cloud and had to respond “Unable, I’m not legal for IMC.”

I did it. I reported the surgery and brought the FAA 8500-7 that was filled out by the optometrist doing my follow up appointments. Issued in the office, no problem. That was before Basic Med was created. If you’re Basic Med I’m sure it’s even easier.

According to a thread on the Ohio Pilots Facebook group this has been in the works for a while, but ForeFlight and possibly other navigation databases jumped the gun on displaying it. Most likely it will be announced via NOTAM to coincide with the new charts coming out in February. It makes...

The Bonanza I fly has it.

I always thought that the one certification requirement for fuel gauges was that they show empty when empty.

This is the exact same misunderstanding that burned Harrison Ford.

I’m in the Cleveland area, so too far away to have good information for you. If you’re on Facebook, join the Ohio Pilots group. There are a bunch of people in that area that could give you good recommendations.

Because of the pandemic and the mask policies on the airlines with which my children would have a hard time, we did our annual trip to Florida... wait for it... in a Bonanza!

It used to be that there was a single number you would call that was dedicated for clearance delivery anywhere in the country. You would give them your tail number, departure point and destination, and how long you need before you can be off the ground. They would put you on hold, call the...

Alt Text: "(c) You can have a scooter when you pay for it yourself, and (d) if you can't learn to start a new thread rather than responding to an old one, you'll be banned. [thread locked by moderator]" I figure it's what, about 10 years until we see @Ted DuPuis's kids here?

The reply box is only there because you’re at the bottom of the page. There’s nothing else useful under it. I actually get more content in a single screen than you do.

I agreed with you whole-heartedly before the switch to Xenforo. I think Xenforo’s mobile presentation is fantastic and has eliminated my need for Tapatalk.

I just happened to finish— actually I’d call it more “functionally complete” than “finished”— my OTA antenna project just today. I had an antenna in the attic feeding TVs in the second floor bedroom and first floor family room. We’re not far from the antennas, maybe 10 or 15 miles, but I learned...

The exact wording of 18.u is “Admission to hospital”. An “admission” to a hospital is a technical term. Not all visits are admissions. If you didn’t leave the ER, you probably weren’t admitted. Even some surgeries are often outpatient.

Agreed. Hindsight is 20/20. You got one good jolt, but successfully avoided the most of it.

It works on my phone, but it shows up toward the bottom after some airport results. Maybe this is something that is dependent on your subscription level? I have Pro Plus.

I’m definitely in the camp that 65kts is fast in a 172. 1.3 VSo is 52kts at gross. What helped me get consistently better landings was to stop thinking of the flare as a distinct action I needed to take. Instead, I level off just above the runway and don’t let the wheels touch. Eventually...

I think you could go IFR— the safety pilot doesn’t need to be PIC, that rabbit hole only comes up if both pilots want to log the time. You can be PIC and he is a required crewmember and can’t log the time as PIC.
