Good question. Maybe eaten by a bigger spider or a bird? :dunno: Apparently, they are sometimes missing legs. This isn't my picture...

Don't the high-altitude VORs have the same service volume at piston altitudes as the low-altitude ones...

As alluded to in this post, VORs aren't completely going away (yet). The FAA is going to keep some just in case of GPS issues. They...

That's only part of the solution. Your answer covered only part of the changes caused by the engine change. Later replies in this...

If you have an accurate weight and balance but weren't provided the correct envelope or limitations then it's not as simple as you...

First and most important, you are training to be a pilot, not a dessert specific pilot. Your most important flight in the future may be...

If I'm about the fly the plane I'm getting into for the first time that day, I'm checking and sumping everything regardless of how much...

"You do you" as the kids say these days, but I had two friends die in a Comanche 250 due to engine failure, stall/spin, and subsequent...

sumping isn't only for water..... dirt? is it blue? does it smell like kerosene?

It only takes 1 time of not sumping + 1 time of water. Better to have sumped 1000 times and not found anything, than to have not...
