Our Garmin 430 is not showing any airports on the nearest page and when you try to go direct to, it says that waypoint doesn’t exist. I’m inputting a nearby public use airport. The unit has GPS signal and the card has been updated.

Looking at a Chart supplement at an uncontrolled airport today and I see a Clearance Delivery frequency (no phone number). What name do I use when I call them for a clearance? Let’s say the associated Center control is Chicago Center, do I say Chicago Clearance or use the airport name? Or...

I fly a helicopter for work and we monitor 3 different radios at times. Our company radio system does not modulate volume at all. Some people are loud on it and others you can barely hear. Does anyone know of an in-line plug in device that will modulate the volume? I’ve heard PS-engineering...

Without GPS or radar vectors, can you navigate from an airport to an intersection on a VOR airway or just to the airway itself without first going to a VOR? I think the answer is no, because you don’t have positive navigation guidance. But I’m not sure. If I want to depart an airport and...

Looking at the low IFR en route chart east of Wichita, I find the ROCKNE fix on the 070 radial for the Wichita VOR. It is a fix on a jet route that is shown on the high altitude chart. I don’t see where it’s a fix for am approach at any of the local airports. My question is, why is it...

Anyone use one? If so, how do you like it?

The attitude indicator in our Archer indicated a turn during straight and level flight for about 5-10 minutes. It was fine for the 20 minutes before,it corrected itself and it was correct the rest of he flight. The suction gauge indicated 5 psi and the HI worked properly the whole time. The...

I’m evaluating autopilots for our club’s Archer. I’m looking for a comparison chart of autopilots to show the membership. No luck with a Google search. I’m comparing The GFC 500, AeroCruze and Trio. Anyone know where I can find a chart?

I planned a 3 leg flight today to practice approaches. I put the 3 legs into the flight plan of the 430. After I activated and flew the first approach, I went back to the flight plan to go direct to the next airport on the missed, and it was gone. My original flight plan wasn’t there. I...

Price drop! Our club has decided to sell our tug. It’s an all electric tug that works well. I’m not sure what weight rating it has, but it looks like it would easily move a light twin. Asking $1800. It’s located at KGPH, close to Kansas City, MO. KC Metro area delivery is a possibility.

I thought there was a sticky for this, but I can't find it. I tried using Google photos to upload pics, but it didn't work. Where's the tutorial on this? Thanks!

For those of you in a club, what rules do you have for aircraft scheduling? We are creating a club and trying to balance providing availability and also having some structure to prevent abuse. We copied another club rules, but they seem too restrictive. Another thought was charging one hour...

I have a used Reiff Preheater for a 4 cylinder engine. I bought it about a month ago. It was installed on his airplane and worked before I bought it. He said it was 2 or 3 years old. The owner of the airplane I purchased it for decided not to install it. $150 plus shipping firm.

Anyone know how to remove a data card that was inserted in a hurry, upside down? it’s not in all the way, but it is jammed and won’t come out despite some decent pulling on the card. Asking for a friend, of course.

I just got my CFII a few weeks ago, finally (had my cfi since 1994). I've heard of some maneuvers that instructor's give new instrument students to help them build their scan. Something specific like a 90 degree turn at half standard rate then climb 1000'... etc. Does anyone have a maneuver...

Looking for a used EI VA-1A Volt meter/Ammeter.

I understand the fundamental differences, but I'd like some feedback on the pluses and minuses of both.

I’ve read a number of threads and done google searches for overhauls on an O-320. I can’t seem to find enough recent info. Anyone have recent experience with Kline, Poplar or any other shops that are reasonably priced? Not looking at factory new or rebuilt, just a shop overhaul.
