The flight into Las Vegas was phenomenal. Stopped in Sedona en route. Did the Grand Canyon tour and then to KLAS. Required a little vectoring for MVAs but not too bad, flew in at 10k feet. Kept the speed up to 160 knots until short final on 19R, landed and off the runway on Taxiway November...

We are based with an Atlantic Aviation. I’ve been in touch with Atlantic Aviation at KLAS and I’m ok with their tie down and ramp fees. A bit pricy but worth it in my estimation. Someone at some point posted that there was a $265 landing fee at KLAS. Atlantic did not indicate this in their...

Yes. And it fits on the right side of my knee board. No graph. And after I get my fuel flow stable, I’ll calculate gallons per minute and my minutes per gallon rate. So, when you’re on the second half of the tip tanks, you can calculate when to switch. So, at a fuel flow of 14 gph, you’ll...

I’ve got a 4 tank Cherokee 6. I tried a similar table to what you have and didn’t find it very helpful. Too much data; too much space. I’ve simplified since then. I do have a JPI 830 with fuel flow and rely on it. On my knee board on the top right corner, I write the 4 numbers for the amount...

I love it when y’all mess with the new people! Pseudoscience disputing aerial propagation of earthquakes. Awesome. Almost as good as the contrails discussions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s a big trip. KBHM to KTUS the week before and then to LV. My biggest worries are then undisclosed fees. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Taking the recent HS grad on a trip out west. LV was his choice. Flying a Saratoga. Which airport is the best as far as reasonable rates and cost of fuel and easiness of getting to the Strip? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Guys with a Long EZ look at other planes and think they look dorky. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I had the same thought process but changed. The FAA holds the pilot responsible for AD compliance. And, after purchase, you are stuck with the plane, AD complied with or not. You’ll find little relief in the court system for a missing AD. Additionally, I’ve seen mechanics that are absolutely...

Others wiser than I will be along soon. I got ADLog and love it and did the same as you. For ADs that someone thought was applicable to my plane but weren’t and are signed off as complied with in the log, I got those ADs from ADLog and notated it. Same as you. For ADs that don’t apply to...

On my IFR checkride, the DPE asked what I would do in the case of an iPad failure. I had a plan and he was comfortable with it. He did not actually fail the iPad. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great discussion and I’ve learned a lot. Sorry, I haven’t been a very good OP, been reading but haven’t had much time to respond. My only other thought or concern is with the guaranteed reliability of the glide slope outside of the FAF. Looks from the discussion that one would have to watch...

We were doing the ILS 27 approach into KJFX. (I don’t know how to post the plate. Sorry) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And, before someone raising the issue, we discussed the possibilities of a false glideslope being high. With Procedure 1, you cross the FAF at the published altitude which is a cross check to make sure you are on the true glideslope. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I was flying with a friend yesterday. I was the safety pilot, he’s doing hid IFR training. An interesting discussion occurred and I’m curious about others thoughts. I did a search for a related topic but found none. We were flying an ILS approach. At the IAF, he descended to the published...

I make this trip all the time. KBHM to KSGJ. I’ve been to Newnan a few times, too. No way I would cancel based on this forecast. PM me if you want to talk about it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I do that type of flight about once a week. 160 nm from a Class C airport to a class E airport. I have a Cherokee 6. The bigger, heavier plane is nicer in turbulence and hard IFR approaches. I looked at the 206, but couldn’t find a good one while I was looking. Found several PA32s and missed...

And, there are some pretty good studies looking at the PC6 wrist acupuncture point stimulation for control of Post Op Nausea and Vomiting with pretty good efficacy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Welcome to the club of people that take these multiple choice tests and do poorly despite knowing all of the information. You will make a fine pilot. Most of flying has little to do with picking the right answer and more to do with understanding what is going on and responding appropriately...
