No, because my CFI was too busy teaching me how to dial a nav frequency into a MX385 and how to pull an immelmann so I could avoid Jerry in my Sopwith Camel. If your head hurts maybe you should take an aspirin and lay down on the couch. Also FYSA that's a GTN650 in the photo.

No, I did run at high RPMs because I was running behind and wanted to get where I was going before the FBO closed. This isn't a subliminal "hey I just want to show off how fast I can get a Rented 172" thread. It's a "I can't seem to figure out this legacy radio to save my ass and it's really...

I've Occasionally a headwind gets confused and it attack from behind . I legit wish there was a video on YouTube of someone using one of these radios because i must be missing something here.

Perhaps you try that but when turning the inner knob you notice that The inner knob only goes in .05 increments.

So you're flying along and you want to tune in the FAY VOR on your KX-155A radio and #2 Obs/glideslope. How do you do that? Please show all work.

So I did my first solo in the PA28R and I accidentally left the fuel pump on for about ten minutes. Now I know that I'm the first person who's ever done this, but how long is an auxiliary fuel pump rated to operate over the course of it's life span? How much damage did I do to the aux pump? Not...

So I don't have any intention of becoming a professional pilot but as I research places to do my instrument rating I do see the "projected" or "estimate" costs for going commercial and higher... astronomical. My question is- how do people get type ratings? Those seem to be ludicrously...

I pretty much screw up every flight plan I file- I either forget to close them, change my destination without amending, or screw around enjoying flying and show up late. This is embarrassing- but it does give me insight on what happens when the SAR "effort" starts: Flight service calls you a...

Can a garmin unit use some form of multiplexer so that you could use the 430Ws antenna for a GPS equipped GDL-82? Is that even a thing in GA avionics?

Man, am I the only person left alive that went with David Clark? I highly recommend the DC ONE-Xs.

Never let the black handle get ahead of the blue handle and you'll be fine.

Posted this in Flight Following, might be better here: Any CFIs out there in SC (Or nearby) that have access to a High Performance aircraft and are able to do an endorsement checkout. I was flipping through my logbook and realized I'd never knocked that one out. I'm willing(ish) to travel...

Any CFIs out there in SC (Or nearby) that have access to a High Performance aircraft and are able to do an endorsement checkout. I was flipping through my logbook and realized I'd never knocked that one out. I'm willing(ish) to travel, don't mind working with rookie CFIs, don't need to fly a...

Saw this bad boy at KSMS Sumter today. The owner/pilot by the name of JR was really cool and told me all about his build and the avionics. Gave me the grand tour of the panel- so so envious...

Honestly I wasnt expecting this much outright disdain. I mean they've both got an alabete soup of certs behind their names (though John is grounded I think), they've been type rated for all kinds of big planes and flown a ton of hours. Oh yeah, they've also taught hundreds of thousands of pilots...
