    Opening a flight plan while on flight following

    I actually have two I pads that I fly with. One is a backup, so you can leave one connected to stratix the other to cell service.

    I believe so. We have either flown or taken the motorcycle. The only way to bet the crowd. :) Flying it is about an hour away so we flew in the day of the race. When leaving we had to battle all the drivers private jets. They were at the end of runway waiting for IFR clearance. Denny...

    (KSNH) Savannah, TN Cookout 7 April

    Guys, I hate to say this, but I am calling off the cookout for this weekend due to the weather forecast. We have been having some crazy up and down weather and hard to predict, but from several sources it looks like the weather in Savannah will be cold, rainy, and cloudy. Highs in in the 40's...

    Search for a C-130 in the English Channel

    I went to Mildenhall with a Squadron of C130’s for about 3 months in 1975. The stories about the were still going strong. Needless to say, on the presumed course he was taking he would have never made, it running out of fuel. That may have happened. The C130 flying east to west flies the...

    Student IFR pilot has a Debonair C33A

    Each insurance company will be different too. I went with an insurance broker who got the best deal for me. I would also talk to the insurance company about finishing you PPL in the Debonair. I would think that you would have quite a few hours with an instructor (dual) which is what an...

    Were keeping an eye on it. If we have to cancel we will probably reschedule for sometime in May as I am very busy most of April. I will let everyone know on this post what happens.

    Should I buy a high wing or a low wing airplane?

    That’s true and they look good. We even looked at a few. You need to be careful what year they are and what hp engine. The rg’s had a history of some gear problems especially the 12 volt versions.

    Best way to drop the news

    As an owner, and ex Air Force Mechanic I like this approach. It tells the owner in a good way what your boundary’s are without being obtrusive. It’s now up to the owner to make the next step.

    Should I buy a high wing or a low wing airplane?

    It depends on what his needs are or what he would like to do and his physical condition. I have flown both and each has its characteristics. High wings are good for un-improved landing areas and site seeing, but I tend to go for the low wing as i rarely go into rough landing areas. Low wings...

    Home PC Recommendations

    Just be careful with SSD drives. The new ones are better, but they do have a limit on how many writes you can do on the chip. A lot of higher end computers have both the SSD drive and a disk drive. People put many of the apps on the SSD then put the writable data on the disk drive. Like...

    Sales tax on MI airplane purchase

    I guess TN is pretty easy. They just ask how much I payed and they tell me what to pay. No bill of sale needed.

    Sun N Fun 2018

    DAVE, I don’t think the spike type will work very well in the predominantly sandy soil, unless they go deep into the ground. I know the so called “doggy style” is the least preferred, but I’m not sure if there talking about the industrial use type the go about 2 feet or more in the ground...
