    Obtaining IFR Clearance Question

    I haven't had that problem but being at 0b5 from time to time you have to get above the ridge to even get Boston center to start the process. If it's clear at my departure end and IFR is needed enroute or at the destination picking it up in the air can add efficiency. Sent from my Nexus 6...

    Obtaining IFR Clearance Question

    I prefer to get it on the ground for a few reasons 1) you must maintain VFR until you complete the readback, think full route clearance and radio reception issues 2) an initial full route clearance will at to the workload for no reason 3) terrain may impact radio reception and delay your...

    IFR Noob buying his first plane.

    We had to use an ILS approach as a LOC for my ride to get the 2nd non-precision approach. Darn!

    IFR Noob buying his first plane.

    As the kid that did his IFR in a single radio PA-28-151 you can do your IFR in almost anything. As it is the KLN-90b is a decent but extremely dated GPS, it'll support terminal mode as well as enroute navigation so you get to file /G Its good to get to practice using the avoinics you're...

    FAR/AIM Update

    I collect them as mementos of a simpler time that I can look back on when GA as well as commercial aviation are deemed too dangerous to let humans pilot and all you see are drones. They also make excellent tinder for bonfires

    Re: Causes if gear ups You would think the fact that they were landing halfway down the runway would be a clue that something wasn't right. On well, people and glass houses and such.

    Causes of gear ups

    Re: Causes if gear ups So does the throttle position switch, at least on the PA-24 The difficulty is that people decide low MP and gear up is expected and forget to correct the condition before landing

    Causes of gear ups

    Re: Causes if gear ups If I don't get the gear down (< 135mph) in the Comanche getting to flap speed takes a lot more work. With the gear down flap speed is a non-event at 17"

    406MHz ELT with GPS

    Its battery replacement time in our 121MHz ELT, and while a replacement ELT is close to 2000% more expensive than a battery if we don't do this now it won't be done for at least 2 more years. I'm looking at the Kannad, Sky Hunter and Emerging Lifesaving Technologies units that 'Spruce...
