Had a situation yesterday that caused me some serious concern involving a controller and a 737 heavy going over the top of my nose WAY too close for comfort. Would like to retrieve the flight data from both my flight and that commercial flight to overlay the two. I tried messing around in...

and that Hershey bar wing gets really mushy at that altitude.

He's finally flying a real airplane. Takes some getting used to.

Hi Russ! Yep, Avemco required 10hrs dual and I had zero retract and no high performance endorsement. Jason N5725P

120 gallons of fuel will go a long way burning 13.5-14 gallons an hour. Gami in Ada,OK bought the Comanche Osborne tip tank STC and the last rumor I heard they were modifying it to make the Comanche design more compatible with the Beech tip tanks for ease of parts availability.

The wing root fairing does help lessen the Comanche plonk. Good looking Comanche there and it's a pretty rare bird. 61 was the first year for 90 gallons of fuel but still having manual flaps instead of the electric flaps. They have the highest useful load of any 250 Comanche. I thought...

You'll love the wing until you come in too fast over the numbers and it refuses to land, or too slow and it lands before you're ready. ;)

From the picture it doesn't have the Lopresti or Eagle cowl modification but most Comanches cruise at 150-160kts all day long even without the cowl modification. I've seen real world SR22 numbers of 170kts. Btw, welcome to the tribe.

The AV-30 cannot be used to provide any inputs to an autopilot unless something radical changed but I would've expected a huge announcement. They've been promising this feature for two years now... https://uavionix.com/faq-items/will-the-initial-stc-have-autopilot-compatibility/

D10 required for the Dynon HDX but maybe left the G5 as a stand alone backup for redundancy or co-pilot?

I know the difference between the G5 and GI275 units and their respective high and low points, such as having to keep my vacuum AI with the G5’s to run autopilot, but looking for cost estimates only with interfaces with common equipment to the below: Piper Cherokee 180E Avidyne 440 Piper...

Fellow Okie and dog lover. Chance and I are sending you much love as our buddy Tuxedo passed earlier this year.

I'll never understand the hate on ebikes. I don't care what mode of transportation someone uses. I don't care if they want to use the assist on uphills, or when they get tired, don't want to get sweaty on the way to work, or just want to ride a bike without putting out much effort. It doesn't...

I've still got multiple KOM's that are 30+mph and 1 mile in length and I'm no spring chicken anymore. A disgruntled ex-husband of one of my divorce clients specifically bought an ebike and went around town taking all of my KOM's a few years ago. I got a few back even though he was on an ebike...

35mph on a flat road for one mile is achievable without an ebike or motorpacing behind a car. A strong Category 1 or 2 road rider on a road bike can do it. Put them on a time trial bike and 35mph for one mile is even easier.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an A&P in the Riverside (KRAL), Ca area to give me a hands on look and possible pre-buy of a plane located at KRAL?

As an instrument pilot looking at a new plane and if it had both a DME and ADF in the panel and you were to get rid of one with considerations for best usage for alternate approaches if GPS fails or is blacked out, which would it be and why?

I'm getting ready to start my IFR training and I'd like to upgrade my panel prior to starting but looking for cost vs benefit analysis on the available units. Goals: (1) orient myself to looking at glass instruments for future planes; (2) get GPSS steering to reduce single pilot workload...
