As a physician, I am taking care of patients with Coronavirus. If you, or any other controllers, on this board have questions or concerns, send me a PM. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Check out Aithre. We have their Illyrian sensors. Won’t be long before we invest in their carbon monoxide sensor. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We used a regular car seat for the babies. When they were little, we inserted foam ear plugs. As they got older and could pull the ear plugs out, we wrapped a towel or blanket around their head wedged against the seat and scheduled flights during nap time. Slightly older and they got to wear kid...

Says you! I know a dude that made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Parsecs Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ve done something similar (a few times). The last was an approach into KBHM and after I was given the intercept to final, I realized I had forgotten to activate the approach. On activating the approach, the GPS wanted to take me back to the IAF which was the opposite direction. A few quick...

First of all, I agree with everyone that said find another instructor. It’s your money and your time, vote with your wallet and move on. But... that being said, you asked for advice, and you’re going to get what you paid for. First, you’re not going to change the guy. You are going to have...

So, I share this story every so often. Flying in Florida near the west coast headed south. IFR but VMC. Summer time and typical build ups. Strike finder shows a cluster of lightning right in front of me. I have Sirius xm radar, it shows nothing. I have ADS-B radar, it shows nothing. I ask...

And, just to add: flying IFR is not just about flying IMC. MOST IFR flying is VMC. IFR flying is about learning to precisely control your plane. The training and certificate is worth it, even if you never see a cloud. And, thank you for attending this soap box session and allowing me to...

Bullocks. As long as your A&P sprinkles sufficient fairy dust in the wings every annual, you’ll be fine. I ask him to put a touch extra on the leading edges of the propellor (a little known technique). Keeps efficiency high. Keep your chem trail tank full. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How to fly through a cloud. In a car, you go over a bump slowly. Same thing for bumps in the air. Happy wife, happy to let you keep the plane. If you’re enjoying that tailwind, you’ll really enjoy that crosswind at some point in the procedure turn or hold. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah. But did it have an AOA indicator? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a PA32. Exterior is Green and whit with gold and red trim. The interior is green carpet with medium tan seats and panels. I wasn’t a big fan of green before I bought the plane. Love it now, love my plane. My point is to gold bold. Even if you’re not sure of it. Planes can handle a...

You are not a low rent Cherokee pilot. You are an FAA certified general aviation pilot entitled to all of the services available at every airport and on every airway. Taxi on the center line like you own the place. Talk on the radio with the authority that your pilot certificate gives you. Do...

I make several trips into Jacksonville, FL oftentimes with the babies on board. Never had a problem. I’ll ask the controller in GA for a gradual descent and they always accommodate. The key is to be ahead of the game, know your descent target and Top of Descent point. The last trip had me...

I don’t know @denverpilot, you might be right. But, when I flew relief missions last year, I carried far more than TP in my Cherokee 6. Several flights with 4 ground relief operators and their gear into a 1700 foot airstrip. Multiple trips with water, gas, oil, food, chainsaws and various...

Anyone know a good A&P in Nairobi? I just got a plane cheap and need an annual before flying it home. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

OMG! I felt tiny. The FBO had giant personal, private planes everywhere. Turned right to go towards the FBO and was greeted by a “follow me” truck. Drove to the second parking area, then the third and then all the way to the back. Me, a Mooney, a a Diamond and a V Tail Bonanza. A whole...
