How many airplanes have decent shoulder harnesses? How many pilots wear them all the time? I think the single biggest fix in automotive safety came from the inclusion of more/better seat belts, and the fact that these days, nearly everybody wears them.

Quite a few, I'm sure, but should 406MHz be required by law? I agree with AOPA's stance in the issue: Just replace "ELT" with "EVS" and I would agree with that, too.

Big difference between embracing a technology and forcing it down everyone's throats. But hey, if you're buying, I'll take one!

I'm not saying NVG's prevent accidents, I'm saying they are better at preventing accidents than a fixed-forward FLIR, which is what most (all?) commercial, civilian EVS systems are. In other words, would any of the NVG accidents have turned out differently if you would have taken away their...

Just install a radar altimeter, change out your cockpit lighting to be NVG-compatible, put some NVG-filters over your white light instruments, and get some NVG's. I would argue that's far better than a fixed-forward FLIR system.

I always liked this one, even though this is post-Photoshop.

I use the "Find My Friends" app. Works as advertised.

Yikes, this is a duplicate! Already posted ---> http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66431

Ah crap I made a new post about this without checking to see if it was already posted. Fail!

Velocity173, is this you?! :eek:

Same experience here. Our Neato started running for less and less time to where it spent more time charging than cleaning, and after a few calls they just sent us a brand new battery free of charge. This was after maybe a year of owning it.

I was gonna ask about excess fuel flow as well.

I've had several iRobot vacuums that never really performed all that well (they were older models). I currently have a Neato vacuum (http://www.neatorobotics.com) and my wife and I love it. I can't say how it stacks up against current iRobot models, but it's definitely better than the older...

What about aircraft that can climb vertically with a pitch attitude of zero degrees? :P

Just to make sure I understand properly, the image three posts up (#18) has a full flex mic, right? And the one I'm linking to here is what you're using as a half flex?

I think this, but only because of the first line in the article "China scrambled jets on Friday" while the B-52 flight was prior to that. Also, the U.S. "regularly transits" the area. I would actually be surprised if there were not intelligence gathering aircraft of some type in the area.

I received my PPL on 16 Jun 2012, and every flight since then I have made solo, with the exception of a one hour annual club checkout when I switched to flying the club's Archer instead of a 172.

iPad 2 and original iPad mini both have 1024x768 displays.

As a "back-ender" in a helicopter (flying trunk monkey), I have a soft spot for when individuals in an aircrew are singled out with no mention of the rest of the crew. I understand that the aircraft commander (PIC) is the guy who ultimately gets the credit (or blame) but I always appreciate it...
