    Single Engine down in Nashville - KJWN

    So my fuel management strategy has always been a 30-min timer set on my 530 that prompts me to switch tanks. However, I've always had the habit of not switching between initial taxi and climbout or if I'm already approaching my destination airport. My sort of vague reasoning was that if...

    runup area. WWYD?

    I don't usually operate out of fields busy enough to be a problem but that's a dumb setup.... I think moving the hold short line closer to the runway like was mentioned earlier in the thread and maybe putting up a sign suggesting aircraft pull to the end to do their run-ups would be appropriate...

    First airplane purchase PA28 Help

    What about a PA-28-235 or -236 Dakota? That would be the only intermediate step between a pa-28-180 and a six.

    How thoroughly do you clean your grill?

    I'm aware of that but I've never found an alternative that really works. The nylon ones are useless. I just look it over before using it, so far I've never seen a wire remaining on the cooking surface. I have found a few deep inside the grill when doing a major cleaning but never on the...

    How thoroughly do you clean your grill?

    Honestly I've probably done all of the above at different points, but usually it's just the wire brushing. Curious what the norm is.

    [NA]Microplastics; the latest thing to worry about.

    I think this kind of stuff is the result of the media finding out scientist are researching an interesting thing and trying to make a story out of it.

    RSV vaccine

    What I kept reading was recommended for 60+ but the language wasn't too specific. For the past year our household seems to just get every single stupid ailment that's going around. I've had enough of that.

    Is the RSV vaccine available for anyone or is it limited to older folks?

    Wealth Distribution in America

    Say what you want about Elon but if it wasn't for him the US probably would be out of the game on anything space related right now. Not to mention all the advancements Tesla motors made for electric cars. Or starlink... which is the only reason I have decent broadband internet here in the woods.

    Wealth Distribution in America

    I think when you start talking about what wages/net worths are wealthy vs poor things get really sketchy. What I would consider well off here in my rural area where you can still find homes in the $100k and sometimes under that range is going to be considerably different than what someone...

    Wealth Distribution in America

    Something related I've had on my mind since the 2008 bailouts is why do we have institutions that are "too big to fail"? Beyond that we have so many industries with little competition where you have very close communication between the CEOs, regulators, and politicians. Big companies will have...

    Wealth Distribution in America

    I always just thought this was a weird way of looking at things. Some people are doing really well, good for them. I don't see how their success is making me any worse off. I don't pretend to know what everyone is going through everywhere but all the friends I grew up with are doing ok. I...

    EFBs - New Advice From Our Friends At the FAA

    Yeah after looking through the whole document, I would agree with that. I suspect this is targeted at commercial operators more than private pilots.
