Your best bet is to get to Airventure this year, at the Aircraft Spruce booth they have a bunch of different headsets that you can try on. It is in a little booth with simulated aircraft noise so you can truly hear the difference. For me ANR is the only way to go. Currently we have a...

How's this for nit picking? Cessna 1234 departing 09 xxx. Response by unknown: There is no runway 09, but, there is a runway 9.

Same here @6P3 Waunakee, WI Joe

One of the advantages listed for converting to the 3 blade Black Mac prop was: "Sex appeal" Haven't you noticed how the women just run up to the 3 blade props and give them a big hug? Too bad they don't do the same for the pilot. I did not see a reduction in speed with the 3 blade at least not...

I would ask around locally if someone had headsets for sale. Over the years we have upgraded headsets and now have Lightspeed. We have two Telex that are just sitting on the shelf, they make great passenger headsets. I would part with mine for very minimal cost. You should be able to find...

I agree. I have 430W in the panel, but have a 496 with XM weather, much more cost effective way to go.

Turned out just fine, no problems at all. I know I have to report it, but do I need any paperwork from my doctor.

I had a laparoscopic hernia repair last August. Will I need any documentation at my next physical this fall?

Here is a company worth looking into. I have an older version that is gas powered and works great on snow and ice too. www.aero-tow.com

I believe most people use the GPS distance to say how far out they are. Now when the controller asks for a report 3 miles out on final, that distance may be up to a mile off if you are at a very big airport. So the question is what should our reference be? Looks like it depends.

I second that:thumbsup:.

Yesterday we had a weather system moving through the midwest. At times the nexrad update time was sometimes 45 minutes or longer. Today it is not much better, as I am typing this I am at 21 minutes since the last update. One can be a long ways in that amount of time. I know, it's for looking...

Lets not shutdown Loran, I use it every time I fly. My Apollo 618C works perfectly.

Steven, The day in question it was clear, no clouds at all. The flight vis was greater than 10 miles. The ground vis at LNR was greater than 5 miles, even though the ASOS was reporting 2 miles. By your strict interpertation of the regs at least 10 planes that day would be busted. Seems that...

LNR airport has class E airspace from the surface. The ASOS is not correct on the visibility most of the time. Today it was reporting 2 miles and clear. I saw the airport from 8 miles out, runway clearly in sight. Who has precedence the ASOS or the pilots visibility?

hm, Thanks for the info on the Garmin update mine went from 3.6 to 3.7 on the 496. Joe

Did the shop owner just buy a new yacht? Maybe a payment is due and he needs your help. Seems very hard to believe that all cylinders need to be replaced. You need another opinion from someone who is not trying to sell you something, like cylinders.

In the early days of color tv the technicians used to degausse the picture tube with a large coil of wire. Someone may just have one lying around. If your are talking airframe it would not work, but something small it would.

Scott, Thanks for the link, I missed it. Joe
