    Zelle vs. Bank Draft

    I have run into limit problems with Zelle even on a $10K transaction...so while probably the safest way not always an option depending on the buyer/seller/bank limits. Only time I accept a cashier's check is if I can accompany buyer to their bank and witness it being issued...or if you are all...

    Less Than Truthful With ATC

    I have it in sight...on my iPad. More that knowing what they are asking is knowing why they are asking and answering accordingly. Admittedly I have also used the "airport in sight" call as a friendly "HEY...did you forget about me?...I need a handoff to tower" call even when I may not have...

    You really think Musk is putting all those Starlink satellites up just to bring broadband to rural areas?...nope...it is laying the groundwork for a fully autonomous interlinked driving system.

    Cross Country Flight

    I did FL to CA in two and half days in a 182 as a wet behind the eras PPL and it was a confidence booster trip to say the least...could have probably done it in two but we wanted to stay the night in Vegas and weather at home was iffy that night, 21 hours flying time...but yeah, I would budget 4...

    Practice Approach with S Pilot - When need ATC Communication?

    There is noting mandatory about contacting Approach first, that is just the discretion of that tower to issue a practice approach. Its better to just let everyone know your intentions..and you will have the best chance at executing the full approach starting with Approach. If you just fly into...

    Air Fryer

    Pro tip for that unit...wrap the drip pan in tin foil for messier foods and makes cleanup even easier! Works wonders for bacon grease cleanup.

    Is Curling really a Sport?

    ...if there are people now calling Poker a sport...I guess so. See what happens...you let drone operators call themselves "pilots" and the whole world goes to Hell...

    Retaking knowledge test for higher score.

    Its like education system...only thing that matters is that you got a degree...no one gives a rat's arse what your GPA was. Like the saying goes..."A" students teach and "B" students end up working for "C" students...so he if perfectly positioned to be a spam can driver! Take the win and move on.

    Buying a plane that isn't local.

    Live in CA and bought my plane in FL. Agreed on the price over the phone assuming condition was as stated and as represented in pics as well as pending pre-buy. Even gave a small deposit that I could walk away and be fully refund for any reason at any time (it was a broker so was a bit more OK...

    Credit card rewards for fuel

    I am a points whore and know that they are not as "great" of a deal but I am a bigger fan of using a card that gives you something you will actually use vs just cash back. Hotel, airlines, or even a Disney rewards type card. I have more Southwest and Marriott points than I know what to do with...

    Air Fryer

    Looks at the Power XL 10qt Vortex I linked above...comes with 3 racks and can fit 5 taking up not much more counter space than a typical single basket air fryer.

    Supplemental Oxygen changed our flying...

    Yup, love my Mountain High system. I am in decent shape but now use it for any flight over 1 hour above 8K and I land feeing so much more refreshed ready to go than fatigued which is no way to start a trip once you hit the ground especially when it is for play.
