Really? I didn’t know that. That changes my whole thinking now….thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

But if you have a non Garmin AP like a KAP150 the G5 can’t drive it so you need your existing AI and can’t get rid of the vacuum system, right? I’m going through this same thought process on mine - all I want is GPSS, and I’m thinking of going further to eliminate the vacuum system, and I keep...

You can sign up at the FAA hangar at OSH but spots go quick so I recommend going early to get a slot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you have an opportunity to take a session in the FAA Portable Reduced Oxygen Training Enclosure (PROTE) definately take advantage of it. I believe they will be at OSH again this year, and you can look on faasafety.gov for other sessions. Its a great way to get familiar with your own hypoxia...

Our biggest sale of the week was made at 1400 on Sunday! People were still shopping for sure….

You will love the Pawnee - at our club we set the tail up on milk crates so you can see what a level pitch attitude is. Lots of rudder - the engine sticks way out front. I always got the tail up as soon as possible and you just have to counteract the precession with a bunch of rudder and you...

This in is in Hartford. I belonged for close to 20 years. Single 172 w 180hp conversion, in a hangar. Great group of members….https://www.connecticutvalleyflyers.com/

@PaulS go over to Mooneyspace.com. That’s where our community hangs out. I suggest taking advantage of a Pilot Proficiency Program and the MooneySummit. There’s no one “type club” like COPA or ABS but we need one….

It could be the FBO charging the fee. I just got charged $50 at APF by the FBO, not customs.

I am on basic med, I don’t pay user fees, hopefully I will be putting no-lead fuel in my airplane soon, my airport is still open, and I’ve taken a handful of free safety seminars recently. Oh, and I have expanded rights as a pilot thanks to Pilot Bill of Rights. Sounds like the annual dues I...

I will give you an example - I flew a little girl a few times from Tampa to Miami for treatment. She had a very rare type of cancer that there were only a few specialists who were researching which was generally fatal by age 10. Of course Moffit is in Tampa, not far, but her best hope for...

@OneCharlieTango sounds like this just isn’t for you. Still, there are a lot of people who see value in doing this and @Jim K i hope you find an Organziation like PALS that you want to work with….again, I’m available if you have any questions and can hook you up with our pilot support team.

Just watch this video…. also, the majority of pilots are 100% out of pocket and take time from work and other pursuits to help others.

I am a pilot for PALS Skyhope and they are a great organization ( I am also a board member) - The fuel reimbursement is done via an exemption letter from the FAA so there are no issues with private pilots receiving reimbursement, but there are some requirements that need to be met both in terms...

You aren’t likely to find anything in-season. The weather is generally perfect then, so leaving it outsides not so bad. I just got on the waitlist and hope I’m still flying when my name finally comes up!

Call your local industrial gas shop (like AirGas) and see about leasing two welding oxygen tanks and set up a two cylinder cascade to fill your own. Absolutely the easiest and best way to do it. You’ll use it more often if it’s easy to fill in your hangar too.

You can fill them at any industrial gas location - the best way though is to set up a transfilling station in your hangar with a two-cylinder cascade and you will never have to worry about it again. As far as securing it, you can get carrying bags for the cylinders and accessories. Use it...

It’s fine in the airplane. Otherwise installed O2 bottles would have to be removed too! From the ideal gas law, pressure goes up (very) roughly by 10%-15% from 70 deg to 140 deg.

50 ppm is really a big concern. 35 ppm with a jet blast over you would just cause me to taxi out of the blast and open the windows. I assume it went back to 0 on takeoff?

Our regulators spec operating pressure is just above the max requirement for the O2D2 so it’s likely you will though we haven’t done any testing with it. Scott
