    Ringing Ears Issue

    Thanks for the advice. Usually pinching my nose and gently blowing out resolves the issue, but not yesterday. Good news is I'm back to normal today. Guess it just takes time.

    Ringing Ears Issue

    I usually fly in the 3000 to 7000 feet range. Yesterday, I went up to 9500. Didn't notice anything with my ears yesterday, but today I woke up and it feels like my ears are clogged up. I haven't been able to clear it up. My ears are also ringing like a sonofabitch. Anyone have any similar...

    Fuel Burn Computation Question-Cessna 182

    Used the dip stick to measure in each wing. That showed 29 in the left, and 30 in the right. The question is whether this includes the 5g in unusable fuel. Did I take off with 59g or 64g? If 64g, then I burned 32g or 12.8 gph.

    Fuel Burn Computation Question-Cessna 182

    75 - 100 degrees ROP. The POH reflects that 21/2300 at 8,000 feet (standard temp), is 71% power. That was my brother/partner who put it down in the field. I think we have 50 or so hours on it since that happened and it is running fine. Mechanic did something with the lifters, although I don't...

    Fuel Burn Computation Question-Cessna 182

    I have a 1978 Cessna 182 which I took out for a cross country joy ride this weekend. This 182 has the 80 gallon tank, with 75 usable and 5 unusable. Before departing, there was 29g in the left tank, and 30g in the right, for 59g total. When I got back, I put 48 gallons in it, which means there...

    Be careful out there - "close" call yesterday

    I actually made my base turn outside the normal traffic pattern area, so it was probably technically a straight in approach. According to my research, straight in's are allowed by the FARs. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Be careful out there - "close" call yesterday

    I've always been a little unclear on this. I did a left base into an airport yesterday on runway 32 which is right traffic. I was coming in from the southwest and it was just easier for me to do a right base and come in. Of course, there was no traffic in the pattern or in the area. Had there...

    AOPA Magazine App

    Does anyone else have problems with this app on their ipad? I was excited when this came out and switched my subscription to the digital version, but the app sucks donkey balls. The magazine hardly ever downloads properly. Some pages don't download at all. Then, it takes a long time for the...
