I just called them. The first thing she explained to me was that they are located at a different airport! So they made 3 trips total, one hour each way, one trip had 2 techs I guess so they could run up the plane and test the alternator. So I can easily attribute 8 hours to travel time. Why...

The invoice had no explanation of why it took so long. They were obviously comprehensive in their billing so I can assume any parts they used would have been accounted for. The only part mentioned on the bill was an alternator. They did not even charge for the fuse that took $170 to change...

The only part on the bill was the alternator.

$2800 alternator on Cherokee edited/resolved 10/1/13- The job was off-site at a different airport so much of the labor was travel. They should have explained this on the invoice and it would have made more sense. They also reduced the bill to $2200. Still high, but not outrageous as I...

My cfi made it simple for me. He said to use pitch to control airspeed, and use throttle to control where you'll land. If you are pitching for 75 but look like you are coming up short, then add some throttle. If it looks like you will land long then reduce throttle. If you are wayy to long...

Watch the king schools videos. Take a practice test or two. Then take the real test. Pretty easy.

Take my 4 year old and 9 month old with me often. The baby was born in sept and we flew to Boston for Thanksgiving.

My favorite part of the solo was thinking to myself that "I have to land this plane". I don't think I had ever been in a situation up until then where my survival was so clearly based on my performance. I remember enjoying that feeling.

I output mne to my Garmn 796. It is not perfect but works really well.

It all changes once you feed her wedding cake.....

Sounds like Sid will get you squared away. I fly that exact corridor all the time, and have originated one flight from frg. The controller at acy are the most laid back I have ever experienced. I think more times than not they end up talking to me about something totally unrelated to the...

I live on Kent Island. My vote is Kentmorr for sure. Or tangier island.

Looks like a lot of people not paying attention to the guy talking.

Probably a low traffic site. I doubt if he lost much business. If we had a wrong phone number or email on our site we find out right away. A customer would call it, find out it's wrong, then try the email link and not only inquire but let us know the phone number is wrong. People love to...

Looked like he even kept the engines running! Could have done a "belly landing and go"!

But planes near me have ads-b out shouldn't I get updates from them? How close do they need to be? How much is Garmin' cheapest ads-b out solution?

I have been using an xrx for a year. It works pretty well at detecting traffic but is not accurate enough for me to have complete confidence in it. I have it connected to a Garmin 796. This week I bought. Gdl39 to use instead. Since I primarily fly in the Northeast I figured ADS-B coverage...

I flew into Minuteman today from W29. Landed about 4pm. Was 4500 broken. Nice flight at 7500 most of the way, the last half hour was bumpy under the broken clouds. My 4 yr old barfed!

Since I bought my plane I have not been able to get music to play through the intercom system. It is driving me crazy. I have tried a gound loop isolator, that doesn't work. I have replaced and rearranged wires. Nothing works. I can hear music, but there is lots of static. My source is my...

Sweet! Thank you
