    Another Cirrus down. Another chute save

    Seems like a weekly thing these days. Glad all made it out OK. Hopefully cirrus pilots are learning from these crashes.

    Mobius Camera

    One nice thing about the cheaper GoPros (no LCD) is that they can link to the GoPro app and use that to aim as well as control the camera and view videos which works reliably and fast and fixes the no lcd problem. If the Mobius camera has bluetooth or wifi on board then there may be a way to do...

    Non Self-Destructing Sneakers

    I had my last pair of Nikes for 2 years wearing them everyday. Only had to get rid of them because they were too small not due to "self destructing".

    Picking Up Flight Following - What is easy for you?

    I look at it like they would probably prefer me calling up and getting ff even on a busy freq since they then know my intentions and can plan accordingly rather than guessing what my route/alt may be. I think it makes their job easier in the end. This is especially true in/around busy airspace.

    Making the most of 0.5 hr flight

    Landing practice is certainly beneficial but maybe save up for a longer XC flight. For me at least, those flights have been the most fun and best learning experiences. I try to fly a longer XC every few months (mostly PNP flights with friends or flights to visit family) and then only fly a few...

    Picking Up Flight Following - What is easy for you?

    This. Unless the tower at your departure airport can give ff (mine couldn't until a few months ago) just get it from approach.

    Someone's going to be an airline pilot!

    I saw on APC they're going to speed up parking the 145s and Q400s since RAH is losing something like 10 million a month on the parked 145s and Qs. Looks like they want only 170/5s asap. see here... http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/regional/93594-rah-files-chapter-11-bankruptcy-15.html

    Exciting changes for Pilots of America (New forum software)

    Another vote here for TT support if it isn't too much trouble. On my Galaxy Note 5 the mobile site is good but any mobile site in a browser can't match how well TT renders threads for mobile viewing. Also it's nice to get notifications on my favorite threads and have all forums I frequent in one...

    Indy area

    IndyJet at MQJ was great when I flew to Indy last month. It is about 20 miles east of downtown though but great people and facilities.

    I May Just Have to Buy an iPhone Now

    I should have made it clear that my other post was a response to post 53. In terms of this case I agree that apple shouldnt be forced to make the phone accessible to the FBI. I still find it amazing that the FBI can't get into the phone themselves.
