A while back I saw that there was a 3 Character N-Number with my first and last initials that was going to be "purged" and become available. The FAA Aircraft Registration website states that the N-Number will become available at 12:00 am central time the day following the purge date. I was...

This happened yesterday. They refueled and took back off!

A few pretty cool features.

I wanted to make a poll after reading through the other thread. I was surprised to see a lot of track up guys. I’ve always been a north up fan, but haven’t given track up a fair shot either. I just get annoyed and change it back to north up quickly.

Ideally I’d be able to email myself a zip of PDFs and import them all to a folder/collection in books, but I haven’t seen a way to do that. In the past I’ve put files on individual after opening from email, but I’ve got a bunch of work reference PDFs I’d like to have on the iPad. I don’t have...

I’ve noticed some restrictions to free speech in some other threads so I decided to create this one.

I asked this question in the below thread but wanted to draw more attention to my specific question. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/gps-database-out-of-date-are-you-slant-golf.120466/#post-2771092 In discussing “verifying waypoints” with an expired database the question came up.

This will be my first time going to OSH. My Plan A is to fly from TN to Indy Friday night and then from Indy to OSH Saturday morning. If the forecast isn't looking good for Saturday, but is good for Friday night, I’d like to fly up and get as close as I can to RIPON. I was thinking FLD, but I...

See images attached below. I used the MapTiler program to make custom mbtiles files for Foreflight. The only way I know how to put them in foreflight is to send the files to your email and then open in foreflight. They will then be available as a map overlay. I make no claims to the accuracy...

Alright, so I picked up a GoPro Hero 7 Black and am planning on videoing some of my flight to OSH and the arrival and becoming YouTube famous like Brian with a Y. Maybe I’ll quit my day job too. In all seriousness I went up for a flight today and it recorded about an hour before it died. Do...

I’ve done a few flights at 10.5 and 11.5 at night and never checked my SpO2 levels. I picked up a pulse oximeter and would see 95-98% on the ground. I took a 4.5 hour flight each way this weekend (my longest flight yet) and flew at 8000 there and 9000 back. I was surprised to see a lower...

https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/loc ... 495630001/ The 62-year-old pilot, who is uninjured and was the only person on board, had flown out of Skyranch Airport in Knoxville before his engine failed just shy of Island Home Airport. The pilot was flying a Flightstar ultralight plane. It is...

My current thinking is not to do this, but I’m curious what everyone thinks about it and if there are any regs. I’ve got a portable jump starter that has a 12V 17Ah lead acid battery. I was thinking it would be nice to have this and an inverter at OSH for a few of my electronics that need AC...

Im genuinely curious what the most affordable flying club around is. I learned to fly at a flight school in Atlanta. I then joined a club and thought I was getting a steal at $90/hr Hobbs for a 172/180. I moved to Knoxville Tn and joined a fairly affordable club at Skyranch, but recently...

Is anyone using electric scooters to get around at Oshkosh? Are they even allowed? I’ve thought about picking up a compact folding bike for a while to throw in the plane when I go somewhere in case I want to get to town that’s a few miles from the airport and no crew car available. I recently...
