    "Is there anything else you'd like to try?"

    Hey all, I know there are a few airline drivers here so I thought I'd throw this out before I posted on some other airline-oriented forums. I finished up a maneuver's val. today far ahead of schedule and after we were done checking the boxes, I got the question - "Is there anything else you'd...

    Let's Plan My Flight Tomorrow

    I need to get from Atlanta to Tampa tomorrow. I'll be empty so no time requirements. It's a single engine piston. It says it has XM weather but for whatever reason, it never works. So, I'll have no weather capability. What are my chances of making it? 1%? 0%? -3,000%? The plan is for an 8am...

    PoA DFW Meet

    As I was saying in another thread, I'm in town for a few days. Planning just a small get together somewhere for a beer or two Sunday (Jan 8) evening. Bedford Ice House @ 6pm (until 8pm, or so) if anyone in town is interested. The food isn't good, but it has beer and it'll accommodate if a group...

    Skydive Pilot - Solo Time

    FAR 61.51 (d) Logging of solo flight time. Except for a student pilot performing the duties of pilot in command of an airship requiring more than one pilot flight crewmember, a pilot may log as solo flight time only that flight time when the pilot is the sole occupant of the aircraft. So, if...

    Hacksaw Ridge

    Just got home. 10/10 While it definitely isn't a new Saving Private Ryan, it does stand out on its own as one of the best movies I've seen. I can't wait to watch it again.

    Pressurization Issue Today

    Slow decompression. Got the alarm on the CAWS panel. Donned the masks. Ran through the procedures. Problem persisted. Received clearance down to 8,000. Returned home. LPV approach to 500'. No big deal. Early day for me. :thumbsup:

    Big Bore, Piston Engine - Books

    Does anyone have any particular favorite that goes into the breakdown of the average big, piston-powered flat engine of today (turbocharged, geared, 6 and 8-cylinder engines)? Something that really goes into detail about the engine itself, history, labels and describes each part, as well as...

    ATC'ers - Clearances

    This morning I was holding short of the runway awaiting my IFR release when I had to return to the ramp because a passenger's daughter went into labor. I taxied back, shut down, let them deplane, cranked up again, and taxied out on my previously issued IFR (not taxi) clearance. I asked the...

    Credit Card Rewards Programs

    When I received my first credit card, I, like many others, was not responsible with it in any sense of the word. I stopped using them for years and after finally getting back into it, I find having multiple cards with various rewards programs being a small hobby of mine. My Quicksilver card is...

    XM Radio - GMX200/Garmin 696

    On the Bonanza, we have XM radio that I can listen to on the 696 and only cuts out when I push the PTT. On the Saratoga, we have XM through the GMX200 and it cuts out anytime someone (controller, other pilot, myself...) is using the frequency or any chat over the intercom. Is there a way to...

    Saratoga Yoke

    The yoke on the Saratoga is getting to be tough to move smoothly and it feels like it's binding where the shaft runs through that plastic collar in the panel. My landings are suffering. I clearly don't know the correct terms for those specific parts... but, can any sort of lubricant be applied...
