You can do it; there is a big lull in arrival traffic at around 9-9:30am and that’s probably the easiest time to come in. If that time doesn’t work, we’ll get you in whenever you show up, but there might be some extra vectors to get you into the right spot.

SNA is 31 miles from LAX, they are far enough out of the way to not be a traffic impact. To get an apples-to-apples comparison you have to look at airports within about 15-20 miles from the primary airports. Your numbers also include every VFR tower operation which includes traffic in the...

I have offered the invitation on this board multiple times over the past few years to visit C90, observe the operation, and identify a way to route VFR aircraft through the class B than doesn’t adversely affect the flow at ORD and MDW. No one has done that yet. LAX is geographically located in...

@MuseChaser In 2001 I was in high school and did a job shadow at SYR ATCT. The nicest girl there was slicing up a roast in the break room and offered me a sandwich. I saw her up in the tower later that day and she was still exceptionally charming as she explained to me how they managed flow...

I’m going to find some sort of trophy wife joke before I work with Jaime next!

The question is, what is he doing with your wife?? :eek:

Same here. Someday I’ll put in a nice new autopilot, but for now I’ll have G5’s and a mechanical AI on the bottom left.

I just did my IO-360 with Signature engines. $32,300 included a new PMA case and new cylinders. Turn-around time was about 6 weeks. I am satisfied so far.

I would guess that they are tired of pilots calling up on the published phone number for ZOB during the day and added it to the NOTAMs to try to get their attention that they are calling the wrong facility.

There are shuttles from Appleton as well. If spending the night, I prefer Appleton anyway...the downtown has a lot more to do and the airport is really easy in and out.

I guess I got lucky! The owner of the flight school I did my private with was a DPE. I paid for an hour of C150 rental. I also washed airplanes during the summer for the same flight school (I was in high school at the time), so my out of pocket cost was around $0.

How about the RNAV 21 into SMO? When I was an ATC there (2007), the only RNAV approach was a circling approach. Now there are RNAV approaches to both ends of the runway, and I think that is really cool for an airport, especially with a drop-dead date.

Wherever it fits! Mine is being installed this week right where WannFly’s is...since I have an HSI, top right was free. Bottom left keeps both CDIs on the right side and is usually free real estate if you don’t have an autopilot panel there.

I have a strict policy of not taking off unless at least one tank is at the tab. I am having a JPI with a fuel totalizer put in right now, but only because I am paranoid about fuel. I have always been in the ballpark with my fuel planning, but I am interested to see how close my planning is in...

I am putting in an EDM-830 as we speak. I got the unit new for $2200 and was quoted 25 hours of labor for the install.

Deal!

I’ve been on the fence with this for a while, so I scheduled the G5 install today. I’ll have a new engine, touchscreen WAAS GPS, and a pair of G5’s....I can’t think of anything else I will need for the next 2000 hours!

This is why I am trying to figure out if it’s the HSI...I don’t want to repair/overhaul it, I want to replace it with a G5 if there is in fact an issue with it. Since the plane is down and the battery isn’t connected, I was hoping to work on that issue separately and get things ordered for when...

Where would one go for help in this case?

My plane is currently down getting an engine overhaul. Before this, I was having an issue with my Century HSI and/or Bendix GPS. Some Googling leads me to believe it is probably the HSI. There is an avionics shop on the field; can I pull the HSI and bring it to them to test and see if it...
