That's probably better than trying to hand fly a 1 minute holding pattern while entering the new FP in the Garmin.

Along the same lines: one problem I've run into is, while doing practice approaches, you're holding at the MAP and you want to pick up your clearance for the next leg. You're stuck clearing the active flight plan (and cancelling the hold). If you're next leg is short it makes for a pretty...

I see so many pilots Clobbering the whole runup area with their little airplane’s blasting all the crap back to anyone else trying to enter it. There’s no one way to correctly do it. But there’s a couple of ways to do it wrong.

Tora Tora Tora movie bird. A6M Zero replica converted from a T-6. From the Heritage Flight Museum. I took this during a Fly-Day last year.

After the door plug blew out I think a lot of people associate exit row with door plugs. As far as seats not reclining, the dang seat seem even more uncomfortable when they are reclined.

Those folks that were out flying might have a little local knowledge and experience that you don’t have. I go out and fly occasionally when the forecast is for winds, but actual conditions on the field turn out to be within my personal limits. It’s wise not to fly solo when you’re not...

I wouldn't think yankees would be all that tasty. Even if you cooked 'em all day long, they'd probably still taste like shoe leather. Hey, maybe that's the OP's problem right there! Seriously, I like the tomatoes and dark gravy. And, I prefer mashed potatoes rather than cooking root veggies...

Melt in your mouth Yankee pot roast: 1 tablespoon high heat oil 1 tablespoon butter 3lbs of chuck roast, cut into 3 or 4 large pieces (remove the tough band of gristle) 1 large onion, wedge cut. 1 can of diced tomatoes, drained well 3 or 4 peperoncinis 1 package of au jus gravy mix 1 package of...

I recently spent a day troubleshooting a 172K that had a history of "electrical gremlins". The A&Ps had replaced the alternator and voltage regulator and that only seemed to make the problems worse. After futzing around most of the day, I noticed that the Voltage on the Alternator B lead...

I'm convinced that (at least around here) hangars are the very tippy top of a highly overpriced real estate market. I recently saw $350k for a 40' "condo" T-hangar with HOA type fees, on a 50 year ground lease with only 20 years remaining. Pre-Covid, it would've been $80K.

Ranks right up there with the Elio! :rofl:

Oh yes they do. And, they have strict checklist requirements for maintenance personnel that are turn-qualed. I'd say at the very least, 3 sailors are in deep, deep kimchi!

My daughter and her husband just came back from Secrets couples resort in Montego Bay. They said it was definitely worth it.

It doesn't equal infinity. But, it doesn't rule it out either.

And if I had been arguing about the affordability of owning your own home in 1982 vs today, you would have a valid point. I wasn't. We didn't have to buy a house back then. But, thats what we were taught to do. In terms of dollars in your pocket, and having money to buy groceries, buying a...

Knowing then what I know now, I'd have bought stock in Apple and Microsoft. I'd be a bazillionaire. I don't see how that's got anything to do with so-called "baby boomers" stealing your slice of the pie.

Between Port Townsend and Portland, along the west/south west side of Seattle's Mode C veil, there's several spots where it can be difficult to get approach to talk to us. A couple of things I've found that helps is to climb a couple hundred feet and also to look up the approach frequency...

When I was 17, everyone my age that I knew were leaving home, or getting kicked out. They all had minimum wage jobs, or apprenticeships that effectively paid less than minimum wage. And, they all survived by moving in with multiple roommates. Many didn't own cars and got around by carpooling...
