Been thinking about just buying a cascading system and renting some welders oxygen tanks. Haven’t found any options locally to fill my system yet. Anyone have recommendations on which cascading trans fill system is best?

There is a remote tower in Fort Collins/Loveland. I honestly couldn’t tell a difference from any other towered airport. Seems like the way of the future to me!

it’s a Trimble TNL2000T

I don’t think I’d be super comfortable in IMC, but I would like to stay current until my panel gets redone in a few months.

I did assume with crossing radials from 2 VORs it could theoretically be possible if you could intercept a radio from a DP or something. DME I thought maybe an edge case for something?

Everything I have flown so far has had a WAAS GPS, but the bonanza I just picked up does not have a GPS that can be updated to be current, so I’m figuring out how I can fly IFR when needed using only radio based navigation. I have a single nav radio, and I’m curious when filing my route if the...

Thanks all. I was able to get signed off under BasicMed, so I am back in the air while I wait for my SI to be issued.

When I am out shooting practice approaches, I go CTAF -> Approach -> ATIS (at another airport) -> Tower (at another airport) -> Approach -> ATIS -> CTAF - I never leave the approach frequency, and often have the next set of frequencies tuned up ahead of time. On a cross country it looses its...

Comm 1/2 selection would be cool. Does this only work with certain audio panels?

I’m still an instrument student, most flights I Ident at least once, and some flights it’s multiple times - often after I’m on the go flying the missed approach and coming back from CTAF to Approach. You would think they know who I am because of my squawk code, but I’m guessing they just want me...

CWS?

Oooh, radio flip-flop. I think I would use the crap outta that.

I know most of us have PTT, Some have AP disconnect, and electric trim. What are some of the less common? I’ve heard of but not seen Ident. What do you have or want?

My 3rd class (non SI) expired at the end of Feb. I was diagnosed and treated for sleep apnea while that medical was still valid. I talked to my AME prior to my exam and he told me he would have to defer after the exam. My SI info was sent off in Feb and I’m still waiting to hear anything back...

I am in a similar boat - and my interpretation based on the answers above is that I can in fact go the BasicMed route.... My 3rd class (non SI) medical expired in Feb. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea before my medical expired, and so when I renewed I sent off all the paperwork to get an SI. Of...
