I was wondering how it would be this year. With Jana, the previous lead of the show now doing the competing show in Deland, I was figuring it might be a bit slim. I knew that both RANS and Sport Performance Aviation pulled out this year. I wasn't sure how many others had as well. I had gone...

Here is an answer from the EAA on the insurance issue. http://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/eaa-news-and-aviation-news/news/01-12-2017-eaa-insurance-solutions-aircraft-insurance-and-medical-reform-a-ok?

For all of the complaining about AOPA, you guys might want to check out their FAQ on the subject. A lot of the questions asked here are answered there. Here it is https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2015/december/09/third-class-medical-faqs The previous statement about new sport...

I traded in one pair of Z2's for PFX. I fly mostly with PFX and love them. I read the other thread. I do hate the battery consumption. That actually helped me compare real time in flight. I had the batteries in the PFX call it quits mid flight. I swapped out for my Z2's. There is a...

I had a sudden drop of oil pressure a few weeks ago. As luck would have it I had just flown over downtown Denver and was on flight following with Denver. I saw sudden drop to only about 10 PSI, just about 4-5 miles south of KAPA, Denver Centennial. I told Denver I was immediately turning back...

I learned at a school that initially specialized in LSA training in the Denver area. They had thousands of hours of instruction in LSA's with minor issues. The reason for this success? They had instructors who knew how to fly LSA's and had many hours in them. When that school merged with a...

Straight from the FAA FAQ from the Federal Air Surgeon. It clearly states that the determination of deficiency, specifically for operations under SP rules is between you and your personal physician and not an AME...

I have the 39/3D and use it with the Garmin 796. It is an awesome combination. I flew with it this weekend up over Denver and had a great traffic picture the whole way. I guess I got lucky to have someone with ADSB out near me all day because I don't have ADSB out yet. I am able to get...

I listened to the LiveATC audio of it. The guy made a call that he had lost all elevator control. He made one more call and was cleared for any runway. It sounded on the second call like the plane was bumping around pretty badly. Ths subsequent audio from pilots wanting to taxi was...

I do find it interesting that after both EAA and AOPA made such a big deal about reaching 60 co-sponsors and a sure vote, they have been crickets since going over 60? Carl

I plan to fly in just for entertainment purposes. I am actually based out of Meadow Lake, so it will be a short flight. I have been to two of these so far and wasn't able to fly my plane to either one because of weather. I also tried to fly into the one in Minneapolis but the forecast...

I have been in the top tier of initially USAir and now AA for the past 15 years. This results in about a 95% upgrade rate. I know it may sound snobby or somehow elitist. It really isn't about that. Flying so many weeks out of the year, I really prefer first to coach. I am also able to...

This was in the AOPA group on Facebook as well. It seems pretty clear from the FAA here https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/faq/ "Why are portable ADS-B devices not allowed? Portable ADS-B Out systems, also known as "suitcase" units, should not be operated (transmitting) aboard any...

I am thinking about flying over there from Colorado Springs. I have yet to fly too far west from CO, despite trying multiple times. I have flown all over central states and southeast. I mostly want to check off CA and a couple other airports out there and the expo is an excuse for the trip...

Re: Just for Nuthin' I would just finish your SP. I initially got my SP and then got my PP. I own a S-LSA, so in the end it really doesn't matter. There has been no discussion or rolling back the SP to require a medical beyond the DL. I have flown all over the country under SP rules...

Unfortunately fatal. Looks like a Zenith 601. It will be interesting to hear about the cause. http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/2-die-as-plane-crashes-en-route-to-airventure-b99544981z1-318586091.html

So, I don't usually use FF in flight. I use it extensively for flight planning and in the FBO between legs to double check things on the rest of my route. I have a Garmin 796 with ADSB in, so I get weather that way. I flew from Colorado to OSH for the show this past week. I...

I flew the Fisk approach in on Sunday. To me it seemed slower than last year on Sunday flying in. I had about 4-5 planes in front of me heading in to land on 27. Monday seemed slow to me in terms of the number of folks on the grounds. Tuesday on seemed as busy or busier than last year in my...

My first trip to Oshkosh for the show 4 years ago, my co-pilot bought a whole set of brand new sectionals. He had all of these, an AFD and we had a compass. I carried my iPad. We ended up using his sectionals as a sun shade for my iPad when the sun was really in a bad position. The iPad had...

Wow.. I saw him in Salinas as well and loved the presentation.
