I guess eBay would be the place to look, but I thought I'd see if there's a place to buy not working not repairable never gonna work again instruments for my desk. I'd like to pick up a 6 pack, and then anything else interesting. I'd like to intercept them just before they're thrown in the...

Considering selling the mooney. Would like to keep flying... something... though. What's the lowest cost of ownership airplane that isn't an ultralight or sport plane? I'm thinking a gently used 152, but I'm not familiar with anything other than that and a 172. For me, right now, the biggest...

Picked up "Starting Strength". Looking for power rack recommendations. Problem is, I'd like one that doesn't need to be bolted down (rental house).

Passing this along for a friend. I'm not sure there's much we can do, but maybe someone can help. https://www.facebook.com/groups/706387322775178/permalink/1465954073485162/

How is it done? I ask, because the data that describes them has the start altitude for a segment as MSL, but the end for the same segment AGL. I'm guessing this to allow for temperature corrections to the MSL altitude? Or... something? Are baro altitudes even used for the low level routes, or...

https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/semiconductors/design/superaccurate-gps-chips-coming-to-smartphones-in-2018 Still reading the article, but it doesn't sound like it relies on WAAS. Something about a new set of "L5" satellites or something. FAA would never allow it, but I wonder if you...

Goal: Start a new airport that would host a pilot community large enough to attract and keep other, necessary services (A&P, avionics). Constraints: No wishing. No pie in the sky. Under current regulations, with current funding sources, environmental law, financing, etc. This isn't a "if you...

Wonder what's going on... I just received an email that there's a TFR going up on Friday 9/22. But I didn't know TFRs also affected ground ops:

Moved to a new hangar. Threw out the Harbor Freight compressor when I left the old hangar. It had serve faithfully, but it was weak, the hose couplings leaked, took forever to come to pressure for one tire, etc. Would rather not spend $$ on a good compressor just for the hangar when I only need...

How common is it for military pilots to carry an EFB type device that's not necessarily "approved".Do y'all have a tablet with Foreflight / Garmin Pilot on it to supplement what's in the airplane? Would an approved EFB with more relevant charts in the style of the popular civilian apps be of...

I have an 11 year old niece who wants to play mine craft with some friends. Her family is (rightly) concerned about her, the internet, and a forum where strangers could be present. I piped up and said "We'll just run a private server." Hours later and "research" reading posts in forums full of...

I suppose I should be on a boating forum asking this, but so many of us sail too, and y'all know exactly what I mean when I say "garmin pilot for boats" so... Is there a app for boats that does the nav stuff garmin pilot and foreflight do for airplanes?

Considering a job in the Atlanta Area. Anyone know if there are any vacancies at all? I think the job is on the georgia tech campus, so "close" to that would be ideal.

Took (well, taking, weather set us back a day) a sailing class at a local lake. Holy crap this is fun, and refreshingly devoid of regulation. What's the trada-a-plane of sailboats?

Any CFII's (or recommendations) near Huntsville International (KHSV)? I'm close... really close, but the PIC course didn't work out (really lousy run of bad weather exhausted my vacation time). Looking for a "finish up" and sign off.

http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1703/05299R18.PDF KSYI, RNAV RWY 18. Where's the MAP for the LNAV approach? I understand the MAP for the LPV (follow glideslope down to DA). And for a localizer type of approach, I can identify the MAP when the heavy black line changes to the dotted "missed"...

I'm googling as fast as I can, but ultralights have been a multi decade blind spot for me. When I had the "I'm gonna build" bug, it was always fiberglass (glasair), then when I realized I just wanted to fly, I bought one. But I never thought to look at ultralights until I owned a "real" (sorry)...

Sitting here daydreaming... Anyone fly an ultralight off their own property? I'm looking at houses (I rent), and while I'll probably never have a place big enough for a Mooney, I'm thinking it might be doable for an ultralight. Looks like a different kind of fun that might be just the thing...

I know this must have been asked an answered a billion times. I've even found magazine articles on it, but it seems like none of them actually answer the question "What's the best technique for staying on glideslope". Oh sure, they'll have that as the title, then it's all "keep your scan up and...

Putting this here, rather than one of the apparently more relevant forums, because it's so low probability as to be dumb. But. You're at the hold short line at a controlled field. You have not been cleared for takeoff. There is an airplane behind you. You suddenly lose both radios and...
