This was placed on the grounds of our county airport, in a place where impounded vehicles are stored. It is probably 15’ high. We are 80 mi from the nearest ATC radar, 150 mi from the nearest NWS radar. I’m wondering if it’s radar at all. We are close to the southern border, the USBP is very...

Did not see in a search. Horus radar (combines phased array and dual polarization) Promises to be a level up from Nexrad. If so, I wonder how long til it would be widely avaiable in cockpits. Could current ads-b handle that much data...

It looked to me like he was close to stopped when he poured the coals to ’er! Followed by a near vmc roll. I’m impressed with the quantity of luck expended in this landing. N7502S https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/269146 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Dh8zJ2gjwZRcVZyV/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Reaching for the flaps? (Can only find on TT, sorry But be assured, national security was not compromised lol) https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLG4gU61/

I was reading about the differences between LNAV & LP approaches; the author said they are basically the same - lateral guidance with advisory glideslope. He showed two approaches to the same runway in Idaho, the LNAV with the much higher ceiling minima, and an LP with lower ceiling minima. The...

Avionics tech says intermittent, internal fault on the comm side only. Repair options… strictly factory? How does that usually play out?

The manufacturer says: "We are recommending you purchase a 60 amp inline breaker or fusible link at the battery." without any suggestion of what brand CB, or what CB might work. (won't be using a fuse) Ideas welcome.

Yesterday I was flying into an airport in which the ceiling continued to lower until at approach time, it was at LPV minimums for ceiling (vis was 7). That's cool I thought; might make it in. Passing the IAF, had LPV illuminated then soon after got a warning about the approach being downgraded...

How does he prevent cylinder hydraulic lock before each start-up? https://www.stanceiseverything.com/2014/11/2014-sema-showstopper-radial-engine-powered-c10/

T or F?

Yesterday we were repositioning two airplanes of similar cruise performance and flying low level (no flight following) to stay out of headwinds. The trailing airplane was gaining on me slightly and we were at similar altitudes b/c a 500’ altitude change meant a 10kt penalty. We were on the radio...

My homemade hangar door uses four 1/4” steel wire ropes to lift it. I have replaced some of these b/c they wear at a tight bend where they are attached to the ‘roller’. I use a synthetic rope to winch my plane in, and it’s worked amazingly well. I was wondering about using this UHMWPE rope on...

Do we need “Chartview” for Flitecharts to work? (They sold me FliteCharts but made no mention of this) Have tried to install FliteCharts for the first time, the Chart button is greyed out.

The folks manning the phones & chat are very nice - but man, are they understaffed. Call in the first 30 minutes of the day, and you are in a queue >1hr long. Later in the day, almost impossible and they do not meet the calculated wait time at all. At what point does management start building...

Fictional or possible? It's offered during checkout of database subscriptions

Did I post this already? Oh well, it's too mesmerizing to not see regularly.

Sometimes I miss living up north

I want to mark out an irregularly-shaped piece of land (ie not a rectangle, but a 6 or 7-sided weird shape; ~200ac) then share that file with someone. I have set the placemarks and can see them on the map. How to save the placemarks as a group, then share them in a usable file so that someone...
