I wouldn't refer to that as an "explosion" but a mist of fuel igniting as the wings ripped off the fuselage.

Holy crap, that is freaking cool!! I would have told the wife not to wait for me as I probably would have missed the boat for that deal. Here's my question, was the time loggable??

I'm right with you. Barring suspicion of intoxication or criminal act, there comes a point when you've done your due diligence and it's time to leave, whether for medical treatment or to just get home to family. If they have your information, they can get ahold of you and ask questions to...

I've always thought it would be cool to go to Oshkosh but lately, I've really wanted to go. Part of the fun, for me, are the problems and inconveniences. The Fisk arrival looks like a freaking blast, though it would almost be my wife's nightmare scenario. Plus, the thought of camping out for...

0.02 is less than 0.07% of a full scale error. Sure you can recalibrate it but there's nothing to say it wouldn't have migrated back in a couple months anyways. There's also nothing to say that the pitot-static calibrator will be any more accurate. Since ±75ft max error is required, I'd call...

Personally, I don't give two ****s what someone else thinks of my abilities. The only person who is more critical of me than myself is probably my wife. However, if someone is willing and able to offer constructive advice, I am always willing to listen regardless of what it's about. I find...

Glad your buddy walked away. I would have expected the ELT to have already gone off, what with an impact strong enough to rip a wing off and flip the rest of it upside down.

The checkpoint is on a specific radial so if the OBS is set to that radial then it will produce a FROM indication. The question isn't asking about the indication because it's more implicit than anything.

If I invite someone, I don't accept anything, though lunch is nice. If they ask me to take them up when I wasn't already planning to go, then it's a different story and hope they can pitch in.

Hoping to hit L05 this spring for a little campout. Hopefully the wife will join me but she hates flying enough without buzzing hills. If not, the dog will be more than happy to cuddle up in the tent.

I am just starting to work on my instrument rating. My written is tomorrow (1/27) and first lesson scheduled for Friday. Studying for the written has been much more frustrating than the PPL written but it's great info. My PPL written took me twelve minutes to finish with a 94%. This one will...

I have my instrument written on Sunday and tearing through material. Wife asked me what I need from her this weekend. "Leave me alone," probably wasn't the answer she was looking for.

That's pretty effin cool!

Old 150's I used to fly, I almost had to keep my hand on the carb heat. I'd glance over after a few minutes and it would be 2/3's the way out. And here I was, wondering why I was climbing more sluggishly than usual.

We all wanted to solo ASAP but in your case, and probably many others right now, the PPL doesn't depend on how many hours it took to solo. There are many other requirements that you'll need to meet with a CFI like cross country and night. Just move on with your dual training and when the time...

I told myself for a while that I would never fork out that much for an ANR headset. Eff it, I'm good with PNR. Took a ride in a former coworker's RV and tried her Bose. I spent half the time I wasn't on the controls clicking the headset on and off. Managed to find an A20 with helo plug for...

You only need one, but I mean model specific. There are several options for each iPad model that fit perfectly including panel mounts. Only one specifically made for my Tab A and no panel mounting options.

This is a co undrum i went through a couple years ago. Garmin pilot for iPad is at least a couple updates beyond that for Android. It always gets the latest features well before the Android version does. What I didn't like about the iPad version has more to do with the platform than anything...

After speaking to one of the partners, I'm not sure this will be the best for me. The partnership agreement will be revealing but it seems like things are in a bit of flux and not as established as I'd like a partnership to be when I jump in as a member. The comments above have brought up...
