If he departed to the other direction he could have flown straight all the way to the Long Beach coastline with all the lights for reference.

Sounds like most, if not all, onboard knew better. Landing 6:15pm to pickup pilots stranded, understandable. Staying on the ground 2 hours? Tried to fix the problem? What if they got it fixed, were they both going to depart illegally? A friend of mine got a flat on Catalina, it was towards...

He was 73, I’m sure his night vision wasn’t the best. To try and takeoff in blackness…… I’ve tent camped at KAVX. It’s DARK when the sun is down.

As a SoCal pilot I cannot even fathom why someone would takeoff Catalina at night, uphill, in a marine layer.

Frank was onboard I heard. RIP.

It works, used it just a week or so ago. Weather at banning is different than Palm Springs or Riverside. I also fly i to banning all the time for the outlets. I know a lot of other pilots who do also.

Wow. I was getting bounced around pretty good and was seeing 1.4 and I was worried. I could not imagine turbulence at 3+ and how that would feel.

Is there a way to tell what the max G factor is for an aircraft? My new fancy panel has a G meter and I’ve seen 1.3 on the display.

Love my LSA, fits right behind my Saratoga and it’s perfect for its mission.

It can’t. One of the many reasons I went G500 TXI

As of right now I don’t like it. It’s not where I normally look and use to looking. I have it on my PFD. Got more time up in it yesterday, getting more comfortable. I really like the AOA. Gear inspection camera

Wow, I went running in those hills Saturday and Sunday. Walked outside when I left in the AM Sunday and went back in for my beanie, it was COLD and around 32*. I’m surprised we didn’t have more accidents this year, weather has been very not SoCalish weather.

I got my PPL in a complex airplane I bought. Everyone said I was crazy. 3 months later I bought a PA-32R-301T and flew it from Michigan to Southern California. Now have almost 700 hours. Weekend after I got my PPL we flew 300nm trips regularly. Understand the dangers. Understand the...

I change tanks when I start my descent and don’t touch it again until I’ve landed in my PA32. I never understood why people do this minutes from landing.

Whelp, Garmin says ship date of March 26th [emoji1787] Shop feels horrible, they goofed. But they want to do my annual for free.

If I understand this correctly. You went to avionics shop for upgrade You then made a side deal with their avionics guy to complete some work for less while in the same shop. You did this knowing the shop wouldn’t know. You were ok doing this and stealing from the shop so you could save some...

I had TWO of those racks full of my stuff lol. It’s amazing to me how much stuff is shoved behind our panels.

Should have, live and learn. Up until this point the shop was very forward and up front. They had 2 PA32s in prior to me and they were done on time. I think someone just screwed up and assumed it was all ordered.
