    Personal Locator Beacon - Still Relevant?

    The other tidbit I gleaned from that article is: "Satellite features are included for free for two years with the activation of an iPhone 14 or later (all models)." What happens after 2 years?

    Personal Locator Beacon - Still Relevant?

    Yeah- this is a pretty amazing feature for sure... It's almost as good as when we could get graphical NEXRAD on PalmPilots at any altitude for free!

    Nosewheel ground loop?

    Not enough right aileron after the otherwise good crosswind touchdown, and/or the maximum crosswind component for the airplane was exceeded?

    bumper sticker

    I saw a bumper sticker on a car today (wish I could have grabbed a photo) that that read: THE HIGHER THE ALTITUDE THE BETTER THE ATTITUDE But it kind of made me stop and think- "The higher the altitude, the better the attitude, and the worse the decision making".

    Report, or let it go?

    I was IFR (in VMC) once on a westerly heading at 6000 ft. When two Yaks in a side-by-side formation appeared in my windscreen in the exact opposite direction, at the exact same altitude. I continued on my heading and they passed me- one on my left and the other on my right- bot easily within 200...

    Not Receiving ADS-B radar

    I was on the Pro subscription at $150/yr for 14-15 years and just this year they forced me onto the Pro Plus plan for $240/yr if I wanted yo keep georeferenced plates. Is there still a $150 Pro one?

    Got a new twin today!

    That was one my kid's cookies- I kind of though the same thing! When I asked she said it was a 'gingerbread cookie'. They all tasted like sugar cookies to me...

    Registration Number

    As schmookeeg mentioned the FAA official format is: - One to five digits (N12345) - One to four digits followed by one letter (N1234Z) - One to three digits followed by two letters (N123AZ) Cannot have zero as first digit Cannot have letters I or O So I think it would be: 99999 + (9999 * 24)...

    Cirrus musings

    I remember sitting in the third row seat in my dads 182 when I was young- now THAT was a garbage seat;)

    Who wants one? (eVTOL)

    Maybe it wouldn't kill me to commute across the bay at max 10 ft? Any higher, or over solid ground seems like terrible accident waiting to happen.

    Trent Palmer (YouTuber Bush Pilot Channel) Suspended By FAA

    I am not judging anything yet, and still taking in facts. Since everyone keeps bringing up the FAA off-airport ops guide here is the first sentence of the second paragraph: "Off-airport operations can be extremely rewarding; transporting people and gear to locations that would be difficult or...
