The reason I am not recommending any particular product is because I don’t do enough in GA to know what’s acceptable with your local FSDO. I’ve been an A&P and an airline Avionics Engineer for a long time. The airline world is completely different.
I am familiar with this specific problem...
Over current protection keeps wiring from becoming a fire hazard in the event of a short. So a circuit breaker should be sized according to the wire guage being protected. It should also be placed as close to the electrical bus as possible. Refer to CH 11 of the 43-13 or better yet have...
Rusty pilot working on getting proficent again. Used to be all I had to do was find the AWC Standard Weather Briefing page to just see it all. Everything has a new interface. Anybody have tips or a guide for a fast overview of VFR WXR without logging in or using 3rd party tools. I was really...
Anything that creates a spark will make broadband noise. Can you see the effects of noise on ground? If so, maybe open breakers to see if any particular device quiets things down. Also, try removing the equipment closest to the device with the problem.
Maybe borrow a spectrum analyzer and...
Have a friend who's son soloed. Then without checking with his CFI repeated his solo flights in his dads airplane without checking with his CFI. When the CFI/school heard about it there were concerns. Dad, being very proactive, sought clarification with the local FSDO. The FSDO supposedly...
While there are no 95 percentile models, there is a lot of similarity in our species. There is also an incredible diversity in the environments and conditions we develop in planet wide. I believe the majority of the practitioners, if they re any help at all are probably only effective in very...
I googled for aircraft appraisers. I see hits. I'm sure they is a lot of variability. I know it's not really controlled. Anyone have experience with their services?
I know someone looking at doing this because they fly so much and it's a place to invest money. My friend is a businessman, that has no aviation background at all. I have no first hand info on this sort of thing either. Anybody out there tried this? What are the pitfalls? How about the ROI? How...
I'm personally always suspicious of psychology practitioners. My suspicions arise out of what I call, universality concerns. I believe someone qualified to heal broken bones is just as effective treating someone in a US urban area as they are treating say a nomadic aboriginal wanderer on the...
After the second 737 Max crash, it was the president that announced that aircraft was grounded in US Airspace. I don't know exactly what was suspended or revoked, just that it was no longer airworthy.
I get that the POTUS is CIC. Was there some structural change that occurred in the way the...
Last time I went to a local pilot training event, I believe it was one of the FAA presenters that said, a successful safety culture is when everyone involved in the operation says something when they see something that may be unsafe. Just sayin!
I'm not sure I'm going to address the correct question here, and it is OT but here goes. I supported F18-E/F flight test on E2 in EMD for about a year. The early F18s (pre E/F) models had a large vortex generator on the skinnier strake. According to a McBoeing teammate that had been there...
