Wouldn't that be geostationary? I know GPS are neither

APA pilot here. Hello!

Hm? I saw them on the runway on Saturday when I left the poker run.

They were racing motorcycles on it when I took off from RWY 8 on Saturday

So just to be clear, since I'm going to Canada next month, my FAA issued PPL (without IR) will allow me to fly my N-number plane at night in Canada?

I did a tour of my local tower. They had battery packs on chargers. Lots of dust on them.

As someone who has tuned turbocharged cars making a good deal of power, I like this video.

I use this RAM mount: https://www.amazon.com/RAM-Universal-X-Grip-Holder-Tablets/dp/B00DV0UGQY It's the X-Grip, so I can use it without having to take off my iPad case. Works on the 172 and the Mooney, no issues at all.

What about using www.1800wxbrief.com for your briefing? Since this is run by FSS (Leidos?) isn't this the exact same information you'd get from a human briefer? I use this site religiously before every flight.

Yup! SKC. About a 20kt wind at altitude. 7500 on the way there and 8500 on the way back. I'm in love with it. I even helped the AP-IA take all of the panels off during the 100hr/annual last week to learn more about it. At only 80 hours when I started flying the J, I was a bit nervous it would...

I did. We were told not to take pictures of it. ;)

60ft wide. Runway 32 (the one used in the video) has a 1100ft displaced threshold.

The mountains were beautiful! A bit bumpy during descent, maybe 5k-3kft. Highly recommend the flight. It all happened fast for me, descending in an M20J, but it was rewarding.
