    Zero-Zero Below and Out of Options - IFR Past Minimums

    I’ve had the chance to shoot a couple PARs at NAS Pensacola down to minimums (100’) and that was quite the experience. Nothing required except a DG and performance instruments.

    Cold calling airplane owners

    I thought this was crazy talk until I saw a gorgeous S35 taxi by at an airport I rent at. I really want to go tape a note on the hangar door. Maybe he’s looking for a non-equity partner?

    Anybody reload/handload?

    Berry’s plated bullets seem to become available at BPS/Cabelas regularly. I have used those for quite a while with great success in my handguns. Your biggest hurdle will be finding primers. Most people have already resorting to putting any primer that will fit in the pocket and building their...

    Experiences while flying GA in the past year

    My wife and I found a place that we’re going to start renting from between now and when we purchase something of our own. My biggest question, since I really haven’t done much lately except fly for work and do a checkout in the local rental Archer, is how is GA traveling currently? Or even the...

    Crap load of birds right after take off

    Can we get a tone switch installed? Instant and just feedback is necessary. Otherwise, just carry several copies of this and leave it on their windshield

    Daily Pic

    Took my 4 year old and 1 year old on their first flight today in a local rental. We’re in the process of shopping for a plane and figured it was time to see how the kiddos liked it. My son was more interested in his apple sauce.

    How necessary is iPad GPS for ForeFlight?

    I purchased an iPad Mini 5 64GB on Black Friday, but it is Wi-Fi only. I did not realize that the cellular model is the only with built-in GPS. Currently my wife and I are just renting to see how GA fits in our lifestyle (previously committed to purchasing, but then 2 kids changed things a...

    Spatial Disorientation Today

    Is it the single piston part that is the key detriment here? Genuinely curious as I actually haven't ever experienced it, but I have multi turbine time in the same (single, no AP) and it wasn't awful.

    Spatial Disorientation Today

    It's more than trusting your instruments, it's convincing your brain that everything you have known since you learned to walk is wrong and this little round tumbly thing in front of you is an accurate representation of the world. It's hard to trust the ADI saying you're wings level when it...

    Replacement parts for legacy Lightspeed Headsets?

    I recently purchased a Lightspeed Twenty 3G on Facebook marketplace locally, but when I went to plug it into the comm port, it just had nasty squealing noise. I took apart the battery module and of course the wire is frayed badly where it enters the battery module from the dual plug end. I...
