It's been a while since I played with APRS, but it seemed to work pretty well. Since it is a store and forward type of network, the chances of getting coverage from the air in the middle of nowhere are pretty good.

The weather is crap.... but you never know... there are VFR days now and then.

This is much easier than most of these answers would lead you to believe. If you were on a flight plan when this happened... Instead of <DIRECT><ENTER><ENTER> use <DIRECT><DIRECT><ENTER> Same can be used when you review the FPL and highlight a destination. direct, enter, enter will take...

Back to the original couple questions... It's way easier and cheaper to do this with a Apple Airport Express. Works with a PC too. I had the 1st gen iPhone and now have the 3G iPhone. It works as advertised. I work in technology and it is the single best piece of technology I have...

The airport is long, wide and easy. So easy my instructor took me there to solo. It's just fun to look at if landing north.

Anyone with flightline access at BFI is required to display a badge. However, I never do, and most do not. I have only been questioned a couple times about it. All tenants are required to be badged. I'm at the NE hangars,.. it's the same at the tie-downs.

Actually, they have required badges at Boeing Field for years now. At least as long as I have been a tenant, which is about 8 years.

I heard about the revolution museum and will have to check that out too! I don't have the address in english, but the best bet is to grab a taxi, call the museum, and pass the phone off to the driver. Probably about $140 RMB from where you are. Tel: 6178-488. It's just off the 6th ring...

As you may know, I have been in Beijing for a while for the Olympics. I visited the China National Aviation Museum today... I had the hotel call the museum and write down the directions in chinese for may cab driver. No one has heard of this place before (and they couldn't understand why I...

I had 10/20 for the last few physicals. The last one had one eye down to 20/20. I was not happy. The doc told my I was just getting old. grrr.

What? I don't think so! I have transitioned Gray AAF many times and it is paved and has its own control tower.

Thanks to both!

Several years ago I started taking a low dose of Mavik for mild hypertension. I went through all the reporting steps needed to get my medical when it came up. I have since reported it at each annual with no problem. Recently my insurance company insisted that I switch to the generic version...

Interesting thread. I have never heard of this or even thought about it before. I taxi over the ropes all the time.

Oops, I misunderstood. That's a pretty annoying clearance. I would probably just refuse.

Why not just dial in the radial using the OBS function, then turn to your VOR waypoint page and watch the numbers climb up to 10? Seems to me to be the easiest way.

It sounds to me like you need to pay someone to do this for you. Asking for free advice is good, but unless you are willing to supplement that with your own research, you wont get far. Remember, you get what you pay for! Actually, it's not very plug and play for an average person (home...

As far as I know, the only legal place to land ON the beach is at copalis beach in Washington state. Pretty fun and easy... once you clear the "runway" of tourists, kids, dogs, etc.

FYI - HDMI, just like DVI, and the broadcast standard SDI, is digital. Either it's there, or it isn't. a 6' HDMI cable shouldn't cost more than $15. Anything much more than that is a scam. For the most part the same thing goes for your audio cable. Shouldn't be low end junk, but shouldn't...

The local references used by tower save time when 90% of the traffic knows the area. If you don't just say "unfamiliar" and they will change it to something that you will understand.
