Nope! But I'll take a look, thanks.

Oh that would be really appreciated Flocker. Glad I'm not the only one...

Great thanks, that gets me closer. I was looking at the EASA TCDS which is missing the fuel tanks and seats. And also hadn't backed into the calcs using the graph. So now I did that. I still have a foreflight issue with where it places the empty CG. Currently it's at 50.86%MAC ... which is...

Ok, to start with yes I know how to calculate w&b for the Tecnam using the charts in the AFM. And I'm fine with normal pencil and paper w&b calculations for "traditional" approaches to this (before any "back-in-my-day" warriors pounce...). But the Tecnam is different than the US designed...

They were both recent in the sense that this was twice in the past two months. Both times I had packed foreflight properly before departure, No NOTAMs were found in either the preflight briefing (possible I missed them) and none were listed when I checked foreflight while flying (I CAN be sure...

I am not home to look at my logbook atm, but one was last year and one was this year. I'll try to check later. It's entirely possible that I just missed a NOTAM along the way. Once. I'd just be surprised/embarrassed if I missed it twice!

OK, so I feel dumb. Let's start there. Where in the tarnation will I get an indication that this tower will be closed on weekends. What did I miss? Recently on a weekend flight I wanted to go direct through the KGWO Class D. Sometime around 2pm on a Saturday. Called up Tower. No reply. Tried a...

Anyone have a broker reference in Oregon or Washington?

I don’t personally know much about the plane yet. It’s a Cessna 182B located in the Pacific Northwest. It’s not my plane to sell or advertise so I don’t want to reveal too much more information. Lots of other good information on this thread. Thanks all.

I have a friend who has to sell a family member’s single engine plane. They’re very unfamiliar and out of their depth. And I’m not much help since I’ve never bought/sold. Anyone have any guidance for someone in their situation? Where would you tell them to start? Things to watch out for? Etc...

GeorgeC yeah that was kinda my thinking. But it seems like the issue may be that these would end up covering too great an area if done as a single file. And would be really challenging to stitch together as multiple files. The real best solution would be for a mapping program to allow caching...

I haven't been able to get google earth to be reliable for offline usage. It has too much detail and data to download any large areas and I haven't seen a way to trim it down to more manageable data loads. And every single cloud based or streaming based service often seems to be based on the...

Is it possible to download satellite imagery for offline/inflight use? First, I know the answer is No. =) Buuuuut... What I would like to figure out is if there is some GIS software (or something else outside of my wheelhouse), that would let me essentially create a set of "maps" that are just...

Thanks Stewartb. Something i just hadn’t noticed before i guess.

Just curious, during a preflight I always check the prop, hub and spinner. Standard stuff like nicks in the prop, spinner solid and attached, no excess oil spun out on the prop blades, etc. I’ve always given a light tug on the blades to see if there is any movement in the hub. And I’ve never...
