I think the issue is most kits are built around specific engines, the kit manufacturers develop FWF packages for them and many of the kit manufacturers have an OEM relationship with those engine manufacturers. Anecdotally the majority of builders tend to accept the kit manufacturers recommended...

I know, but in my experience that's not a panacea for me. I prefer not to bother anymore. I just file what I want and fly what I get--easy peezy.

This is what I do unless I flown a given route often enough to know what they are going to give me.

This. As far as I know iFR time doesn’t count for anything unless is actual or simulated IMC. I mean who gives a crap how much IFR time in VMC you have? 61.57 sure doesn’t.

First and foremost we go to meet up and hang (that’s code for party) with friends from all across the country that we only see at Osh. We spend a lot of time just wandering around and seeing stuff—there’s a ton and too much to see in one year so we kinda divide things up. One year we focus on...

I come in IFR so I avoid all of the VFR shenanigans from the get go.

Friday, July 19 11 a.m. - Cherokees to Oshkosh 5 p.m. - Cessnas to Oshkosh Saturday, July 20 10 a.m. - Mooney Caravan (Registration opens February 28) 1 p.m. - Bonanzas to Oshkosh Sunday, July 21 10 a.m. - Cirrus COPA to Oshkosh (C2A)

My advice is if they are holding, go land somewhere and wait it out. An Osh arrival hold is a total Charlie Foxtrot.

I use Blackstone. No particular reason.

It’s busy in the best of circumstances. If there’s weather on Saturday or Sunday morning it can turn into the zoo at feeding time. Have a good plan B and even C especially if you hear holding is in progress.

I think that's sound advice for any of the +V approaches where the box generates an advisory GP. Caution also applies to MDAs and step-downs too.

Not sure about that, I do know Jet A has more energy density than avgas but that density generates a weight penalty which is not insignificant for a full fuel load in a typical GA aircraft.

I have received the report when direct as well. I think the takeaway is absent clear instructions ask before doing.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve received “left or right deviation approved, let me know when you’re back on course”.

Good for you! I like your approach as I feel too many instrument students who post here fixate on passing the written vs truly understanding the material. If you understand the material passing the test is a piece of cake. and you’ll be much better prepared to operate in the system post check...

I think ABC is still the clearance limit because they said direct to FXNAM vs cleared to FXNAM. With the direct to my understanding is they are turning responsibility for navigation over to the pilot but the route and clearance limit remain unchanged.

This is actually a topic that was brought up this the week on Opposing Bases. It's apparently happening with more regularity. The issue is ATC is expecting a pilot do X as part of their overall airspace management plan which is dynamic and predicated on everyone doing their part in a timely...

According to a post on VAF the objections to the plan were: (1) it holds back 20% of projected income for reinvestment of the business; (2) only provides for payment of 55% of general unsecured creditor claim amounts over three years instead of actual disposable income and more percentage over...

Not sure the $1700 price point is worth the upgrade just for that nano-texture option unless you're in the market for a top of the line tablet. Otherwise I just can't see how the new screen would be that much of a game changer. I've been using a tablet in the cockpit as an EFB for 14 years now...
