    Expect what kinda weather in this trough tmrw?

    Thanks guys. I hadn't looked at the skew-t yet, but that tells a good story. Scott, the nasty stuff inside is what I am worried about.. And flying in the rain, as the windshield sometimes leaks down onto the feet :-( Right now the trip is up in the air (har har har), its a PNP trip with a...

    Stratus 1 Traffic + ADS-B Questions

    I've seen the same in approach areas. My assumption, which based on your observation and confirmation that the 152 doesn't have any wizardly must be right, is that approach radar data goes to ADS-B station and is broadcast as traffic - based on the transponder reply...at that point, Foreflight...

    Foreflight or iPad issue?

    Have you shut all the apps down and the entire ipad and started over? Have you emailed FF support? They're good at getting back quickly.

    So KSBM went to SVC TMPA SEE NTAP RSVN RQRD - whats that mean for me?

    There is no tower. Maybe thats why they only allow 4 per hour? The website says: This STMP will include all domestic non-scheduled IFR arrivals to the following airports: Which leads me to believe that VFR into SBM is not affected by this.

    (NA) Poor puppy

    We buy the big bottles of glucosamine at sams club, per our vets rec for our 12 YO black lab. The dog-specific ones have the same stuff in them, and cost twice as much. Yes, it helps. As for bladder control - is the doggie on any pain meds? Ours is on Novox (nightly) Tramadol (night and day)...

    New here! Looking at some different planes and need some help!

    Yes, by the numbers it is very similar. I'm speaking not of the weight and fuel load, but being comfortable in the plane. The backseat room comparison is only what I speak of :-) I find it to be extremely cramped in the backseat of a mooney, in knee room, leg-stretching room, and shoulder...

    New here! Looking at some different planes and need some help!

    But in the 182, the four people don't have to be midgets :-) In my opinion, I can't see 2 real-sized people being thrilled in the back seat of a Mooney for 3 hours. Unless the front seat folks have the seat all the way forward. Even with the long body...

    New here! Looking at some different planes and need some help!

    I'm unclear on the mission here. You want to fly 1000nm, nonstop? Do all your friends and family wear Depends? I can't find many folks who want to fly with me direct from Ohio to FL nonstop, which is just 4 hours. I did 600nm yesterday nonstop in 3h:52m and that is about my top limit (and...

    FMV of an airplane share?

    Basically, for the plane, yes...what could they sell it for divided by the partners... That is what it might be WORTH, then, figure what you want to pay for it. Everyone I've seen allows the partner to sell the share, BUT, has to give the other owners the option to buy out the share at the...
