I changed it online but a friend who went through something similar said it changes back once the FAA processes the new certificate. Am i able to fly with an...

    Bose A20 from Bose X

    Hey everyone, Just curious if anyone has upgraded to the A20 from the X and if it was worth it. I'm thinking about the upgrade and think the Bluetooth would be a nice feature but if the comfort/noise reduction isn't noticeably better then it isn't worth it to me. Opinions?

    Best online headset retailers

    Thanks, good to know! I would go from Sportys or Bose normally but neither of them offer the trade in program on my old headset

    Best online headset retailers

    Hey everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my Bose X to some A20's. A few online stores (pilot mall, aircraft spruce, and mypilotstore) offer trade-in programs for headsets. They will all give me $425 for my X when I trade them in, if they're in good condition (which they are). I just want to order...

    Get 2 sheppard air subs at once?

    Hey guys, I have a bit of an issue. I need to get both the FIA and FOI tests for sheppard air at once. I was just going to put one on my laptop and one on my ipad. I'm planning on taking them both within a day or two of each other. I already got the FOI test from them, and called to see if...

    Crash at GAI (Gaithersburg, MD)

    Yeah, they're fuselage mounted. Guess I didn't think too much about a Vmc roll on a fuselage mounted plane, though I'm sure something like that is still possible, though a lot less probable. Good point.

    Crash at GAI (Gaithersburg, MD)

    Usually a lurker here. Here's 0.2 cents, which doesn't mean much at this point because theres very little info on what went on. If i had to guess, he lost an engine (bird strike), possibly went full power on the other to try and go around, but was in too dirty of a configuration and either had a...

    When can you descend from circling MDA?

    Make sense. Thanks guys. One more: is there a ROT for when to slow down? If I fly approaches at 90 kts do I wait until I start that descent to reduce power? edit: in a 172 where normal speed on final is around 65

    Reverse sensing with a GPS

    I have a feeling he is using it improperly. I've used a King GPS as well as a 430 and now im doing instrument/commercial training in a g1000. If they got rid of reverse sensing in an HSI, theres no way they'd leave it in a GPS which is much, much more advanced than a GPS.

    Gleim Private Pilot practice exam is missing figures?

    Now that you passed the private exam you can just use sheppard air for all of your future written exams and just memorize the answers :idea: Plus they update the figures and questions a couple of times a week usually.

    When can you descend from circling MDA?

    Whats up guys, quick question on descent from MDA on a circling approach. Ive been doing research on this and am getting tons of different answers. Since the FARs allow for descent from MDA when the aircraft is in a position to land with a normal descent rate, has the required in flight...

    IFR charts in magnetic?

    But if a drew a line on the chart and used a plotter to get course, it'd still be true, correct?
