    2020 suggestions from no WAAS GPS

    Get the GTX345 and enjoy having the uplink to your tablet too with full ADS-B IN coverage. I think the 335 is OUT only, which means you have to have another solution to get full ASD-B goodness and have paid almost as much as the guys who have it all in one

    How far out can you typically turn on lights?

    Usually its 10 miles out if I'm unfamiliar with the area so that I can use them to spot the airport instead of looking for the dark spot

    How far out can you typically turn on lights?

    Always make sure to click them on again when you're in the pattern. I was back from getting night current, landed and heard a Lear calling that he was entering on a long straight in. By the time I was parking and tied down the lights turned off and I heard the Lear go around. Turns out he...

    It must just be the non-east coast bravos that suck BOS, NY, IAD all have been exceedingly pleasant and helpful. NY App even wanted to learn more about the Comanche since he was looking to buy one

    Finally made a Pilots and paws flight

    Yes that! I won't do it alone, even crated there's too much that can be a distraction to the pilot. Better to have an FO who can manage the dogs

    Yet another BFR thread

    It might not be until November which is the problem. No P/AMEL yet. I don't see the part where it specifies that you have to be certificated in the category or class though Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    Yet another BFR thread

    I'm nearing the point where I need a BFR at the end of the month, looking at 61.56 I don't see a requirement that the flight time be done as PIC. Does that mean that if I'm working on my C/AMEL my instructor can do my BFR in a BE-76 or would I still need them to do an hour in the air with me in...

    Routing based on equipment

    Commercial Rating Questions

    I'd be shocked if it took 15 hours of ground, but 10-15 of flight time depending on how readily the aerodynamics of what you're trying to do click. Its all about managing the energy of the airplane. If you can do that well the landings are easy

    Information about Amelia Earhart's location.

    It doesn't need to mean they landed there, just that they ended up there

    The best NM range for a single engine aircraft.

    Is taking off with no runway lights a thing?

    I've done it when the pilot controlled lighting was inop at a field I knew well. Its not what I'd consider a "best practice" for night time departures though
