I have been very satisfied with the EI MVP-50 in my Bonanza; if your panel plan does not include fabricating a large square place for the instrument (and I get that some folks don't want that), the CGR30P performs all the same functions in a 3.5" round form factor. It integrates very well with...

I met several of my very best and most cherished friends at PoA fly-ins (Gaston's and 6Y9er). They were all strangers until I met them, and then, they were friends. If any of you are intimidated at the thought of showing up where you know no one, fear not: once you're there, you're in. That's...

David There was a time (many years ago) when I’d have been… dismissive… of someone worrying so about a cat. Those days are long gone, and I’m delighted at your kittie’s improvement. Hope it continues apace! —- Was thinking about you a couple days ago - out at the ramp of T82, recalled you...

You know this?

This is a ridiculous thread - it ain't a Boeing problem when pilots roll long and try - too late and too fast - to turn off at the end of the runway.

I don't recall details any more, but he explicitly took steps to ensure he'd be banned; a series of blatantly offensive, rule-breaking, posts. He got his wish. --- Sad to read of his passing - of course he was a tortured soul, but you could surely never call him dull. Had the pleasure of...

This is a remarkable resource, prepared, updated and published by the State of Texas as a public benefit. https://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/avn/avninfo/farm_ranch_airstrips.pdf

Oh, now, you're smarter than that. I know of nowhere that paid street parking on public streest increases in cost when there's a big event on. It fills, then that's that. Are they going to charge a special toll for the use of the Interstate highways? Local roads?

I found early-on that I was trying to talk fast - felt pressure to do so - but that in so doing, I was actually taking up more time rather than less, because "say again" was a frequent result. Pause, say fewer words, speak slowly and clearly and think out scenarios in advance, how you might...

22. Economic Nondiscrimination. a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at...

True enough; but as a recipient of federal IAP grant funds, there are numerous provisions as to what the airport sponsor is and is not allowed to *do* with the airport. It's not just a toy with which the sponsor (through whomever is manager) can do as it wishes without limitation. Now, it...

Fees charged must bear a reasonable relationship to the cost of providing the services.

It's likely just mis-typing.

"Supply and Demand" is not a valid method for a publicly-owned asset. It is (by law) supposed to serve all on a non-discriminatory manner.

On the one hand, as OP has noted, the odds of it being discovered are slim. On the other hand (1) failing to disclose a known and diagnosed condition is a criminal offense, and (2) if it comes up, it could materially cripple your ability to be an airman in the first place. Bottom line: if...
