    Teach me about wireless bridge.

    I have a metal building with cable internet service. I have another metal building which I would like to have internet service about 250 feet from the other building. Initially I installed a Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO access point thinking it would reach the second building. The access point gives 2...

    I've run it in Lycoming for almost 1000 hours.

    Zinc additive by rislone ZDDP

    Valvoline VR1 also has high zinc ZDDP. I didn't know Rotella had it as well.

    Cessna down after stalling on take off

    Same here; I was taught the same technique. Was able to get it directly over the centerline on a calm day.

    Hartzell Propeller acquires WhirlWind Propellers

    https://generalaviationnews.com/2024/03/14/hartzell-propeller-acquires-whirlwind-propellers/ This is not good news as I see it.

    Flying with worn valve guide and/or worn rings?

    Perfect example of that in pic above. We had good compression all around with that broken oil ring.

    What aviation apps are you using? Android version

    I wasn't aware 1800WXBRIEF was more than a phone number. I like the website, thanks. Been using avare for a few years now, ever since anywhere map stopped providing regular updates. Wish avare had the fabulous emergency view ground impact arc that was present in AWM PRO. With that arc I...

    What aviation apps are you using? Android version

    With the recent, ahem, "improvements" on the aviation weather center website, I've been looking for workarounds for the information I used to get from the aviation weather center website. I still use AWC, but believe it is harder to use on the phone in particular and makes me less safe in the...

    Flying with worn valve guide and/or worn rings?

    Stable oil consumption of 5 hours a quart doesn't sound too bad. A sudden increase I had concerned me. I had 3 A&P's tell me I could continue to fly it. One cylinder had oily plugs. Here's what we found.

    Pulse oximeter doesn’t work at altitude

    Never heard of one failing with altitude. They read inaccurately with CO poisoning. They fail to read for reasons stated above, movement, low perfusion, ambient lighting, poor placement on finger, and some fake nails or nail polish. I'm sure the nail polish doesn't apply to you of course.

    Auto engine diagnostic qeustion (NA)

    A head gasket can fail in different ways leading to different symptoms. Are you noticing any symptoms other than that occasional and transient smoke? Overheating at all under stress or long idles? Does the cabin heater produce good heating? Loss of power? Pressurize the radiator, take the...

    Boeing’s on a streak...

    It may be unjustified; we don't know. I linked the article about it thinking it was related to the subject of this thread and some readers may be interested in seeing it. I did not foresee a subset of readers who would prefer to not see it.

    Boeing’s on a streak...

    Your assumption of causation is likely accurate, but given recent events this incident still reflects poorly on Boeing, even if unjustified.

    IFR flight plan @ waypoint

    Yes but it sounds like he wants to take off vfr and not talk to anyone until he requests his clearance airborne.

    IFR flight plan @ waypoint

    Perfectly acceptable if you can maintain vmc to the waypoint and aren't in class A, B, C or some other restricted airspace.

    Single Engine down in Nashville - KJWN

    Hard to know, but at that time it would have been quite dark. If one is unfamiliar with the location and under stress of dealing with an emergency in the darkness I could see it happening easily.

    What's the deal with CFII's that don't want to fly IMC?

    Completely agree; that is good experience. My first IMC IFR flight was alone the day after I passed the checkride. While I survived, I don't believe I was well prepared for that. It shouldn't be this way. It seemed to me a large number of CFII's were hesitant to fly in IMC. Presumably...
