My in-laws have a wide screen HD tv, but don't have HD on their Xfiniti cable. Will not having HD affect the screen width/size. I've gone through every setting on both the tv and the box and I can't find anyway to make the picture fit the tv. The picture is oversized and you lose the edges...

Anybody here belong to a good photography forum? I'm looking for a site that is interested in the photography and not the drama. I'm not a total beginner, but I am at the early stages of learning techniques and my camera.

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not complaining. I'm simply curious about traffic pattern etiquette. Saturday morning, I wound up following a student from the local flight school around the pattern for a little while. He was doing fine except for the fact that he was flying the pattern...

Nevermind. Found what I needed.

Does anyone have an example of an operations manual they would be willing to let me see as an example? Our club has never had anything written down and we've decided we should. I'm looking for things like what to wash the windows with...making sure the hangar is locked...put the airplane keys...

I had just touched down (C172) and was resetting the flaps/carb heat/trim while rolling. As I steered the plane back to the center line a bit, I had a strange vibration in both pedals. It only lasted a second or two. I put the brakes on to slow down and it went away. I taxied off the runway...

Could someone please explain how these work? I found the list on the FAA website for our club plane (1968 172i) and there are quite a few. Everything from visors to seat belts to engine mods are included. As I understand it, these are for anything that alters the airplane from its original...

Would there be a noticeable difference other than speed between the two engines in a 172?

Trying to find a phone number for KPIT approach. Is it best just to call the airport or would it be listed somewhere by the FAA?

I know it's only been a couple days, but has anyone talked to their PCP and found they were reluctant to sign off on the medical?

Here is the story. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2017/04/12/rostraver-plane-down-report/

Our club (14 owners) has in it's by-laws that the plane is not to be used for commercial activity. Also, you must be a Private Pilot to be an owner. An owner that has a CFI has been training a non-member for primary PP training and the student is logging the time. At what point does this...

Haven't seen anything lately about where the FAA is with their contribution? Anyone hear anything?

I fly out of KLBE also known as Arnold Palmer Regional Airport. I'm listening to a steady stream of Gulfstreams coming in for Arnold's memorial service today at a nearby cathedral. It struck me that all the planes coming in for the service will be contacting Palmer tower. Not sure why I found...

I had my first grass landings in quite awhile yesterday. I hadn't flown in quite awhile, so I ask my CFI friend to come along to keep me out of trouble. After having 6 pretty good landings at two different airports, we were on our way back and flew over a local grass strip. He suggested doing...

I was flying with a friend of mine yesterday and the topic of my future instrument training came up. Somehow, we came to the subject of required cross country time for the rating. I had it in my head that only 50+ mile cross country trips as PIC counted toward the instrument rating, but he...

I have to re-apply for an SI every year. I submit my paperwork to Oklahoma and within 4-5 weeks, I have my medical. This has been an odd year. I'm now into my 7th week and still waiting. An instructor I fly with told me that he heard they lost some examiners and are way behind. Has anyone...

I was reading an article this morning about Japan lowering their interest rate to a negative 0.1%. I understand the general reasoning and expectations of doing this, but as I read further I saw this. Investors responded positively to the announcement. Stocks in Tokyo rose 2.8% and the...

I had a friend returning home from Fla on Tuesday. She said they had to fly around awhile because the x-winds were too strong for them to land. I checked the conditions and found the winds were recorded as 20G30 mph from 270 for RW 23. Does that sound too extreme for that aircraft? We did...
