    Can an annual substitute for a pre-purchase inspection? If an annual is done before the due date do any maintenance issues need to be fixed?

    I’ve been in an equity club here in Austin for over 20 years. We operate 3 PA-28s. Two observations: That list of discrepancies does not add up to $30,000, especially at such a low hourly rate. two years ago, we bought a new to us Dakota. We use the Mike Busch prebuy service. I can‘t...

    War for the Hell Of It

    War for the Hell of it by Ed Cobleigh is of the best books about fighter aviation ever written, and positively the best book about the F-4 in SEA ever written. Decades ago I was a brand new F-4Cww EWO. I came into to the operation force about the time we declared victory in Southeast Asia and...

    What is the best way to block tail number keeping it hidden from public tracking?

    I ADSB relies mostly on your unique transponder S-code more than your squawk code fo identification. I dont think the S-code can be suppressed.

    No luck with Surefly Ignition. Tech support awful. Engine won't start

    Safety Pilot Etiquette

    After I went unexpectedly NORDO once on a practice approach because my safety pilot decided to ‘help me’ with the audio panel without asking. So I ask my safety pilots to not change any switch setting without asking first. Because I fly out of a very busy Class C airport I ask for a sterile...

    Ethiopia followed the Checklist and MCAS was disabled. They then got concerned because the trim wheel was hard to move. So they reengaged stab trim and died. Why was the trim wheel hard to move? BECAUSE THEY LEFT POWER AT TAKEOFF THRUST AND WERE GOING 600 KNOTS.

    KLN94 still supported?

    You can update the 94/89b using an rs232 cable to a laptop via jack in your panel. That is by far the best way to do it.

    Plane crash Gillespie Field, San Diego

    Dan Gryder had an excellent video on this crash. Sadly, he had to take it down due to ‘complaints’. Being Dan, I suspect he got a little to personal in some of his commentary. And he played the full audio, which I’m sure upset some viewers. He says he is going to edit it and upload it...

    Why Electric Airplanes Face Such A Tough Haul: Joby Edition

    Large traditional rnuclear plants are expensive.

    F-111 belly landing

    I really liked the capsule. We were always flying really fast, and I would rather take a chance on a hard landing than jump into a 500knot wind. Also, I didn’t have to wear a poppy suit over Greenland, and we could get our story straight on the way down.
