    Hollywood Sightseeing Flight Goes Wrong...

    I like these videos, I think it's awesome that people are willing to share their lessons-learned and stories. Odd that it's met with any negativity. Keep 'em coming

    Run-Up Area Etiquette

    Similar situation, but I was the offender: at KLKP, there were a ton of people and their gliders camped out (literally, with tents) at the departure end of the runway. So, I was taxing to depart from runway 32. The camp full of gliders and people were on the right and left of the numbers (not on...

    Garmin D2 Delta PX Aviator Watch - PIREPs?

    I just got a D2 Air. Very light weight and the screen is beautiful. I'm a little bummed that it can't integrate with my iPhone as well as the Apple Watch (was hoping to ditch the AW). Definitely no integration with ForeFlight. I'm not willing to use Garmin Pilot just to see how nicely the watch...

    Wanted: Partnership Cirrus SR22 - Northern NJ

    Hi - I've been thinking the same. My own situation is similar, though I would ideally prefer KLDJ (or KCDW). The other airports you mentioned are a little far for me. I'll DM you with personal contact info in case you're open to other locations. Thank you

    Tr#mp TFR bust

    I kind of wonder what happens to the pilot. Do they lose their license temporarily? Fine? Jail?

    Aviation life vest?

    Doesn't the requirement stipulate distance >= 50nm? KAVX is ~8nm - are sure it's required?

    Does FF support missed approaches?

    Hello I love using FF's geo-referencing and enjoy using it for situational awareness. In situations when I go missed, however, I don't see any way for FF to track the miss, guide me to the hold, etc.. Does anyone know if FF supports missed approaches? Thank you

    PIREP: Sportys Flight Review-

    It's very good content. I found it to be quite helpful to refresh on some things I had forgotten. However, but the commercial terms have gone astray from Sportys' historically good customer service. Sportys' previous position was that once you buy content, access will never expire and you will...

    Two VFR ATC questions-

    I'm flying VFR with flight following from ATC. 1) "remain VFR" - once they establish me on their radar. What does that mean? Would I have otherwise started flying IFR? 2) Once I terminate my flight following, I get "radar service terminated, frequency change approved" - but sometimes they say...

    your most embarrassing flying moment?

    In a 1970-something warrior, the transponder was the analog style such as shown in the photo. The fourth knob was inop - and I didn't notice it was inop until in the air and requesting flight-following. Had to ask ATC to assign a squawk ending in zero.

    Adapter for 3.5mm headset to GA airplane dual plug?

    Does such a thing exist? For example, if I have a corded headset I use with my computer or phone/tablet, does anyone make an adapter so that I can use it (i.e., as a back-up) in case my GA pilot headset breaks?

    Recommended PC for Xplane?

    A few learnings from my X-Plane experiences regarding system config: 1) The GPU is as much if not more important than the CPU - go big on the graphics card - as big as you can, this will make or break the speed and usefulness of the flying experience 2) To test whether your systems is truly fast...

    iPad mini: It's alive!!!

    I'm noticing that the battery life is good, not great - anyone else seeing that? Felt like the iPad Air and Pro had better life.

    How to verify a Google account?

    I would recommend you lock down your google account by using the google authenticator app as your second authentication factor (if you don't want to use your phone).
