    Critique my Alaska/Canada survival kit

    I just "finished" (truthfully, these things are always a work in progress lol) building my kit. Thought process: Basic kit that handles most contingencies that is always on your person. This would mean something that attaches to the body. Perhaps a belt kit, maybe a vest, maybe cargo pants...

    I think exposure to aerobatics should be required for a PPC

    That was my first time in a tail dragger. CFI was definitely landing that :D

    I think exposure to aerobatics should be required for a PPC

    Borderline. I did want to do a loop and a roll but time was a factor lol. My first time wearing a parachute too. "just pull this large, square ring"

    I think exposure to aerobatics should be required for a PPC

    At least basic maneuvers exposure, if not flat out training. Essentially something that will demonstrate to the student that, "no, a tail slide will not instantaneously result in a mushroom cloud on the ground". Something that will help minimize the panic potential for the student pilot if...

    FCC might allow cell phones on airline flights: good or bad?

    I believe the correct answer is 'Hell no.' Give it a rest already, shut your damn mouth and be a contributor to yourself and everyone else enjoying a peaceful ride. _

    Camera for Flight Recording?

    I have a similar battery. One day I set the gopro H2 to the lowest resolution (for the max time on the card), hooked up the pack to the bacpac which I then attached to the gopro (with it's internal battery) and got ~8hrs of recording time lol. [So the pack charged the bacpac which in turn...

    Still messing up the flare

    I haven't seen an answer to this. Picking my eyes up and looking down the runway (vs spotting my landing point) took away the rush of speed which loosens everything else thereby making things smooth. I'm a former motorcycle racer and I used that principle. It should have occurred to me...

    RAM suction cup mount for full size iPad

    I created this thing for an iPad Mini and it works ok in a DA40. Not much of anything works ok for me in a C172 so I'll likely try a yoke mount if I go back into a 172. I could never see using a full size iPad in a GA cockpit (unless it has its own mounting space in the console)...
