Late to the party because I’ve been flying, but the Drover has been redone, haven’t been there since it was, but as mentioned, the steak is amazing. Last Christmas a friend and I flew out there for a steak dinner and ate at Omaha Prime. It’s great too, kinda classy but you don’t need to dress...

Depending on the cost of the replacement, there is at least one well regarded company that fixes things like this. They are well known in the Ferrari and Maserati communities. Website is sticky no more.com. I’ve used them and was happy to not have to buy the parts again.

I’m way late to this but about the same time as the OP’s issue, I was cleared and flying east through the ORD bravo at 3800’ just a few miles north of ORD. My transponder went TU and Approach called me up asking my altitude. I responded and gave the ORD altimeter reading too to support it. My...

I was struggling with crosswinds until my CFI agreed to go out with me on a day where they were right at the aircraft limits. We went out and it was terrifying to me. I did 6 landings and that was enough. But I got comfortable and my minimums increased as a result. I’m comfortable now right...

Ah, sorry. The mutton chops on the avatar and the video gave me a brain fart.

I couldn’t remember Tom’s last name…. But yes. And if you need transition training, KA Academy.

Kaiser, what altitude were you at AGL when you hit that? I’m just curious because it looks like a low glide slope, not accusing, just want to know. It looks terrifying.

https://mooneyspace.com/topic/39613-hangar-for-sale-north-las-vegas/ Here’s one you can buy in North Las Vegas…. May not be in the price range but depending on how long the land lease is for, you could end up with a return if you relocate or end up needing a larger hangar when you buy a...

My opinion, if you are interested in a King Air. You need to find a guy named Chip McClure. The King Air community is pretty close knit and there are willing resources, unfortunately this isn’t really the place many of them hang out. If you really want an experience, register for and head to...

Here’s another C510 gear up for discussion. During a check ride. I don’t remember but I’ll circle back to the 510 procedures manual to find out definitively if you will get a gear warning if you don’t touch the flaps. https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20200220-2 The pilot...

Like I said, he apparently had an issue with flaps inop, and to me, it sounds like a massive helmet fire. There is an abnormal flaps procedure in the manual, and (don’t quote me on the exact speed) you can drop the gear at some crazy speed, I think over 275kts to slow down. Between those and...

Here’s the last FA track. The last speed ping was 167kts at 750’. Field elevation is 783’. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N81CB/history/20211201/1545Z/KTME/KHII/tracklog

Muncie Aviation posted an explanation of the action after they received numerous complaints. They stated the restaurant was very behind on paying rent and despite attempting to work with them did not make any progress. Muncie Aviation posted on Merk's FB page claiming they leased the...

My dad is an airport bum at that airport now. What seems to have happened (according to witnesses) was the flaps didn’t go down, and when the pilot landed they crossed the numbers somewhere around 160kts (and ADSB data showed last hit pretty close to 30’ AGL at that speed). So in my limited...

I’d have to seriously look at financials of rent income. Fuel sales aren’t keeping it afloat and landing fees aren’t charged. Given the amount of wetlands and the cost of building materials I don’t see it being built up as houses. At least not for now. With as much “buildable” land you’d be...

Oh I’ll join this as I just went down this rabbit hole. Logitech yoke, throttle, and pedals that my wife got me, an i9 10500k processor, 3080gpu, with 32gb of ram, NVME SSD, and I’m waiting on the Samsung G9 49” ultra widescreen monitor now. Overkill? Maybe. But I still think that MSFS2020 is...

How was the runway? Last friend of mine that flew there said that it was questionable at best last year. Of course she doesn’t fly off grass much.

Congrats. I did mine on Saturday. I went inside the hangar to cut my shirt though because it was 0/-02 out.

I read Chuck Yeager’s autobiography when I was 8 and did a book report on it. I’d say that was a little mature for a 6 year old. 8, much more acceptable.

I thought the Matrix was cool when I first read about it. Then I spoke to a few PA46 experts, and every one of them said it falls into the same category as its pressurized siblings when it comes to insurance and recurrent training. Reach out to someone like Joe Casey at Casey Aviation. He will...
