I know nobody really knows me here. I'm an infrequent poster with normally not much to say. Maybe this post will be therapeutic. Maybe not. It's been a week since I lost my youngest son to cancer. His 26th birthday would have been next month. I still can't wrap my head around how quickly it...

Does anyone know of any IAPs in the US that are labeled ILS only (not “ILS or LOC”)?

It's not as cool as @Katamarino's trips, but I thought maybe someone might find this interesting. Just got back from a work trip and went around the world eastbound. It's not untypical for us to circumnavigate the globe for work, but I think this might be the fewest amount of legs I ever did it...

Running Windows 10 Home on my laptop, is it worth upgrading to Windows 11?

My first flight lesson, thirty-seven years ago today. A few weeks shy of my 16th birthday. N757QN (C-152) LDJ-LDJ 0.9 How time flies…

Airbus A320 came within 6 feet of the ground on an RNAV approach into LFPG. Controller gave them a QNH of 1011mb versus the correct 1001mb. The crew read back and set the incorrect QNH that was given to them. I do have some questions based on the article, like the continued descent after...

Do you remember in grade school when you were learning about graphs, and your homework was a set of ordered pairs (x,y) and you'd have to plot them on graph paper and when you connected the dots, you would have a picture of a dinosaur or star or even an airplane... Well, I'm trying to create...

There was a thread not too long ago where someone posted a link to a website where they sold refurbished phones. I tried the search function, but my BOOLEAN failed me and there were way too many results and none of them were the one I was looking for. If anyone remembers that link (or knows of...

For her business, my wife wants to have access to a portable scanner in our car. Although it's a 2019, there aren't any 110V outlets anywhere. In the trunk there's a cigarette lighter outlet. I was going to run an inverter through that to power the scanner. I know there can be issues running...

Ok. I have about a year to figure this out, but I want to start the brainstorming now before it's crunch time. My wife and I lived in Europe for my work a few years back. We enjoyed it and promised that we'd return for a second round of living there. The opportunity just arose to bid back over...

Okay, this will be probably be basic for most of you, but (although I wasn't a Marine [happy bleated birthday, btw, Devil Dogs!]) I need slow talking and lots of pictures apparently. What I'm looking for is a step-by-step for LOP ops. I think I have the basics, but I have a question about the...

Sometime over the last however long, the retaining nut (locking nut?) for my PTT switch must have come loose and backed out and disappeared. I was able to cannibalize one from the other control wheel so I can use the switch without it burying itself in the yoke. I need to find a replacement...

After years living in NJ and then Europe, I'm living in a very pro-gun state that is Constitutional Carry. Looking at getting a nice CCW. Went to the range yesterday and shot with a few different options. I liked the S&W M&P Shield Plus and the Walther PPS. Did not like the Glock 43X. What are...

For those of you who use additives (Camguard, etc.) in your oil, can I pre-mix it and let it sit? My thought is that when I get a case of oil, I can open each quart and pre-add the Camguard. That way when I need to add a quart to the plane, it’s already mixed and all I have to do is dump in the...

Do/can avionics shops (or regular mix shops for that matter) check the tilt calibration on weather radars? I have a Sperry/Primus-200 unit that functions, but it seems that I need to have the tilt way too far up to not paint ground returns. I know and have used the tilt formula up high in the...

UPS 747-8 engine fire on departure from HKG/VHHH. Apparently blew both bottles into the engine and fire persisted. Return for overweight landing (~150,000 lbs over MLW).

Looking to replace my old KMA24 audio panel in my Seneca with one from PS Engineering. It looks like the PMA7000 series is mostly a plug-and-play replacement. Trying to discern the differences between the different models (7000M-BT, 7000B, 7000BT). Has anyone done this swap and have a round...
