as for point 2- All the signals could be biased by whatever method they're using to handle the cold junction compensation. https://www.analog.com/en/resources/technical-articles/cold-junction-compensation-in-thermocouple-guide.html This to me is far more probable than a grounding issue. The...

Are you able to safety pilot for anyone where you are? It has it's uses, although I learned the hard way to not fly with anyone that was just trying to get out of learning with a CFII.

If you have the cash flow, it seems like you could start some of the required dual for commercial now. I will say I thought flying recreationally to places I wanted to go taught me more than an equally low time cfi building time for their atp was going to teach me, but maybe it’s heresy to say that…

We have a very active club on field, and *had*, at another FBO, the ability to do TW work. Very few people did this - and I think you're own story highlights it- because the endorsement is not part of the time building track. I don't fully understand the price sensitivity to time building, but...

While I can't speak to how feasible it is for an employer supplied situation, the Foreflight license is good for multiple devices. Fltpln Go includes georeferenced approach plates, something the folks at Boeing are charging extra for on top of the base FF subscription.

I had glanced through the rules- weren't the post cards required to be handwritten?

Body on my 16 F150 is fine. Spots of surface rust on the steel frame underneath. Got tired of watching all my vehicles disappear from the rockers up, so I waited for the 2nd year of aluminum bodies and 150k later, no regrets. My 2005 Saabaru has lost substantial chunks of metal to the rust...

So basically once it gets some g force pointing in the same direction on its accelerometers long enough, it resets its attitude calculation errors…

I think you'd want to talk about how it performs in specific scenarios since the attitude sensing works, at least partially, by integrating the rate gyro and accelerometer signals - which will make the accuracy time variant. The ADC items- airspeed, altitude, are a lot easier since they can...

Thanks for sharing that video. It's good they showed the guidance differences. It's probably secondary to what they wanted to show, but you wouldn't pick the approach based on your GPS, you'd pick your approach on your ability to fly the required climb gradient to fly the missed. So I guess...

The AIM has some good discussion on LP vs LPV. I’m on the tail end of instrument checkride prep and wish I’d just read the AIM more in some cases vs other secondary sources. And the price is right.

Did the article also happen to reiterate that the lateral guidance functions differently between the two? Fixed lateral guidance vs angular guidance?

The training grows in complexity with the avionics in the aircraft...

And since the OP specified instrument rating, it sounds like we are in agreement.

Your plan is basically correct, but my understanding is that the TSA approval is paired to the flight instruction provider. i.e., before you can receive instruction in the US, they'll have to do the TSA dance. It may be very expedient, but they can't skip it just because you've done it...

I'm an Iowan transplanted to Michigan. The trip basically seems to require an instrument rating, and even then, it's still tornado alley, so the instrument rating should only give you additional training to say "nope!". It doesn't help at all that the commercial market in the state is...

I just realized I come to this website to hide from my job in the automotive industry....and yeah *laugh* Very Recently (end of April) got an Avis something mid-size SUV in Denver. They upgraded, or offered upgrade choices between some Nissan (yay Fleet sales!) sedans and a Dodge Durango. The...

I was fast often in the 7kcab I did my tailwheel in. It went a lot better when I paid attention to profile. I know I also had trouble with the shape of the cowling and sight picture that made me feel like the nose was down. You are describing (" I have to give it more throttle to stop my...

https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/education/michigan-species/reptiles/massasauga- unusual to run across. I keep hoping but so far no sightings. Two Hearted may be a fun camping choice also- https://theraf.org/featured-airstrip-two-hearted-mi/ If I had a float plane, I'd be tempted to pop up to...

Crossfill is a setting that can be turned on and off- have a look at the online PDF of the Pilot Guide
