Yes, getting radar advisories on a cross country is a fine idea and will supplement your situational awareness. That being said, I would never choose to fly under a shelf on a XC flight unless for some reason there are no other options. If there are other airports under those shelves, which...

I reached out to Trio to find a shop to install in my Arrow. The shop was only about $3k more for the GFC500 installed (although I already have dual G5s).

I have a JLU Moab (honestly a weird packaged based on Sahara) that I really do love. Lifted on 37x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Never regeared, so mileage sucks and never sees 8th gear. Has good highway manners and has done some wheeling out in Colorado and Moab. Owned several Pentastar 3.6...

This has honestly been my biggest problem with home simulators. I have the Alpha and Bravo setup, a panel that essentially mirrors my real world panel, but any type of flying that requires any precision seems impossible in the sim. Tried FS2020 and X-plane, done all the suggested tweaks, etc...

THIS. How many times I have wished that squawks were letters instead of numbers.

I wonder how the general public would react if they knew the sheer amount of service bulletins and airworthiness directives that most airframes collect. I get into my 50+ year old PA-28 all the time knowing that the FAA thinks the wings will fall off any moment.

Removal was never performed on my Arrow, but I always keep the override activated. The nice "feature" of the override is the gear warning light and scream go off still and would do so around base to final if I actually forgot the put the gear down. I don't know that still works after removal...

I think I was assuming that he and his "partner" worked for a broker. Otherwise, yeah this whole thing makes even less sense.

I'm not sure why your former employer is up in arms about the transaction unless the 2013 buyer was taking legal action. My only question would be, did the 2013 buyer and RO at the time execute a purchase agreement and did money exchange hands? I'm super confused why the 2013 buyer would not...

How did he not pull the chute?

This is actually what I thought they meant. :D

What I did based on feedback I got from other owners and the internet: - Look over the logs books yourself for any red flags. If you have an A&P in your contacts, have them look over the logs books. This can save you some $$ in going to see the plane. - See the plane yourself. Give it a good...

I'm not sure if anyone asked this actual question, but do you struggle with this on the ground doing theoretical problems or just when you're up in the plane flying? During my PPL training, I struggled a bit if we were coming into an airport that I wasn't familiar with and making decisions...

Not sure on the Lightspeed multiple connections, but can confirm the Bose does work as stated. As someone who damaged their hearing as a youngster, I could not go back from an ANR headset. I have yet to experience a situation where the ANR blocked a noise I needed to hear. The Bose isn't...

Man. Another Boeing manufacturing problem. Are they ever going to stop.

Awesome. Thanks for finding this. THAT is definitely the video I was referring to in my initial post.

When I took the PPL written, I had a similar situation where I had recently moved but had not updated my ID yet. I entered the address that was on my ID when I registered for the exam with PSI. When I setup my FTN in IACRA, I used my new address. Testing center, flight school, FAA, etc. never...

This. Thankfully our t-hangars have bifold doors so I haven't had to deal with it, the airport rules accepted as part of the lease require the hangar door to be closed any time someone is not present. Option B to the OP, start "borrowing" their stuff and leaving it in the apron.

Mine died in my 72 Arrow II in November 2023. Skytec 149-NL FTW. I didn't know how bad mine was until the first start with the Skytec. Only downside is that it was $895 in November and is now $1295 from aircraft spruce. Unless you have a lot of slack, you'll have to rerun the primary wire too.

I did King for both PPL and IR writtens without a CFI anywhere around me and scored 89 and 91 respectively. I spent a lot of time in the PHAK and a little less time in the FAR/AIM as King does a good job of covering the regs you need to know. I also found the King practice tests to be VERY...
