There's a good bit of wisdom in this thread. I'm likely being over-dramatic. Like many a pilot, I just have a great distaste for uncertainty.

I have a far flung dream to build a Rans S-21. These new tariff plans have me worried. At current kit prices I could afford to start building in a couple of years, if all goes well. If metal tariffs explode the cost of aluminum again, my dream goes up in smoke. Is there sense in taking out...

I'm jealous! What a beautiful bird!

Both. I heard no sound on my H10s when they were plugged into the left-seat jacks. No sound from intercom NOR frequency sources. Just no sound coming out of the earphones at all. After switching to the other jacks, I heard both intercom and frequency loud and clear.

The sweepstakes is for a $100k credit to be used exclusively on aircraftforsale dot com... I wonder how that's supposed to work. Will the lucky winner have unlimited time to sit on their credit until they find an aircraft they like? Is the tax of the winnings only assessed after the winner goes...

Ah! No, I had not. Something to try next time.

Yes, after swapping headsets all comms were clear. I couldn't verify if people on frequency could hear me with the H10 because I couldn't hear anything, copilot or otherwise. After swapping to the HS-1, loud and clear across the board

Do you mean you just bent the plug slightly? Not sure I'll go to this extreme yet since the DC is brand new, but it's a thought.

Headset is basically brand new with just a few hours on it. I guess I could try wiping the plugs off with 99% isopropyl alcohol.

Hi folks, I have two headsets: My first headset I bought for training, an ASA HS-1. Cheap but dependable. And then, I upgraded to a David Clark H10-13.4 after passing my checkride. I've noticed that the DC H10 is quite a bit quieter than my HS-1. Today, I couldn't hear my wife at all. She...

Assuming you meant the 31st... Best of luck tomorrow, and get lots of rest!

Best feeling in the world! It took every fiber to not cause a commotion on the ramp in celebration.

Aaaaand there we go! One lap around the pattern to demonstrate a short field TO&L, 0.2 on the Hobbs, and now I am officially one of your ilk! Very very very glad to be here!! I MADE IT!

It finally happened! I had my PPL checkride yesterday and..... ... did not pass. My navigation, stalls, steep turns, emergency procedures, ground reference, and most of my landings were within standards. The examiner even told me at the end of the oral exam portion that I was one of the best...

Happy update! Since my last reply in January, a lot has changed. - I finished my ground school portion, and am now gearing up for the PPL written exam. - I finally got my Medical in March, after 5 months of deferral to OKC. and, as of yesterday... - I have completed my FIRST SOLO! Onward...

You made it to Final Review in just 2 months? That's pretty fast, all considered. I'm going on 5 months "In Review" for what should have been an AME-issued ADHD Fast Track case.

Hammer your representatives with this demand, especially when the reauth bill comes around. Doing nothing about it will guarantee nothing is done about it.

Call the regional flight surgeon office that oversees your region. They can pull up your file and tell you exactly what's going on without you having to wait 3-6 weeks for a letter to come by snail mail. If they need extra information, the RFS will tell you what you need to gather. Give them a...

You can contact your House rep and ask them to open an inquiry on your behalf. Your rep's .gov website will likely have a "Help with a Federal Agency" page and a form for you to fill out. Basically: Raise hell! Edit: A couple things to add... When you call OKC, make sure to include the phrase...

I'll take it for $25. I'll PM you to work out the details. Thanks for posting.
