There is another way to interpret the controller's comments ... he may have been asking for your intentions so that he could respond appropriately. From your chart, you were on the edge of D-space. If your intention was to remain to the south (clear of D-space), then he just keeps you on FF and...

Pending elimination? That's what they did to the VOR approach into KUAO. After the tower went in, the missed on the VOR had us buzzing the tower. A few months after the tower officially opened, the VOR approach was NOTAM'd NA until the next cycle, and was completely gone when the new plates...

... or a bi-plane?

you seem to be blocked ... unable to send PM. Curious about ballpark price.

Not sure who you're referring to. AuCountry is in Auburn, CA, which is pretty close to Grass Valley. AirMods NW is up near Seattle in Granite Falls. I've heard good things about AuCountry, and I've had great experience with AirMods. As for "new", I never said Ken's wings were new. He has...

I know AirMods NW has a few wings available ... no idea on price. I own a Tiger and love it.

I had Pacific Coast install my GTN-750. Their work is always good, but can't compare to others (based at KUAO and haven't used anyone else yet). I love the GTN, just didn't like paying for it so much.

I've been that student, but not normally so. Flying is expensive. Families are time-consuming. I've got a day-job that demands 60+ hrs/week from me. Sometimes I just don't have time to do all my homework. Since I'm paying my instructor regardless, I accept my failure,confess my sins, and...

That was a fantastic game - a nail-biter to the very end. Navy lost by 1 point, 1 foot, 1 penalty, etc. Go Army!

I flew into Loreto as part of a Baja Bush Pilots tour - we had a blast. BBP made everything really easy, highly recommended. I'm not sure how much they'd help if you're going on your own (sans tour) ... even with the tour hand-holding, it was a bit scary.

Back in Feb '17, departing Loreto (MMLT) I was told IFR wasn't available below 18k (Tiger only goes up to 13.8k). Despite clouds enroute, I departed VFR, hoping I could pick my way through them. About 100 miles south of the border, it became apparent that I wasn't getting through VFR, so I...

Ctrl-C in the word-doc, then Ctrl-V in the search-box. If you don't know where one is, just enter an extra one.

Hmmm, maybe it's time for a sailboat?

I've been chastised on-air twice (that I'll confess to) ... both were actually positive experiences in the end. 1) Center controller got irritated that I had multiple approaches/airports on a single flight plan (as is customary for Approach controllers in the area). I kept my cool and he...

What about a nice long runway aligned with your rectangular lot, and a cross-wind runway for emergencies?

Thanks for the info - appreciated. All too often, Center asks me if I've got the weather before I'm in range, and then they start descending me just as it's coming in broken. I'll just keep doing it the old way.

I've just upgraded and now have ADS-B in/out in the aircraft. Now I'm wondering ... prior to flying an approach, do I really need to tune the radio to get weather, or can I just check my ADS-B weather? Compared to ATIS, the ADS-B is much more timely, so me thinks this might be a legal and...

sweet - thanks for posting!

Yea - it looked like a code 7500 to me too. Speaking of which, did anyone else hear about Trump's latest immigration policy?

I did pretty well on the written, but still missed a few. When I chatted with the DPE during the ground portion of the IFR checkride, it wasn't a grilling at all, but rather just a conversation. I learned a few things from him, and truly enjoyed "talking shop" about one of my favorite...
