The access doors on the hubba hubba caps for my club's arrow fell off while i was flying the plane...twice. They never seemed to be well-secured in the first place. I called around, and lopresti doesn't supply the access doors by themselves, just the whole kit. For $270-290, this situation...

MVFR, with NE winds, predicted for my airport (KSGS) on 4/8/24. Usually, ATC sends us south since KSTP is 1-2 miles north of us. I am not keen to make a tight ascending left turn into the clouds (and still in the pattern, since KMSP is just to the west) and I want to coordinate a more...

My wife is giving me 1/2 a work table (the other 1/2 is for her cricut Machine). I tend to be an apple person, but I’m open to PC as well. My goal is to run xplane-12 to practice IFR. Here’s what I have so far (from outdated computer):

A while back, I saw someone post maps of the traveling salesman problem as it pertains to completing various state passport programs like the MN passport program. Does anyone have those maps, or know if there's an online program or website that one could use?

I am toying with the idea of getting a GDL-50 as a backup. I like that it has bluetooth. That said, does anyone know of any sales/coupons/upcoming sales with any of the aviation supply companies out there? I am looking for a wee bit of a bargin if possible.

I have business to do in downtown Chicago and, without Meigs field in existence any longer, I was thinking MDW and parking at Signature or Atlantic would be an option (despite their %&!X$ handling fees). So, if I am considering this idea seriously, what do i need to know about slotting in...

For those of you who use pilotworkshops, what IFR course would you recommend for a newly minted IFR pilot? I’ve signed up for the IFR mastery workshop, but I was also looking at some of their other courses. Suggestions and thoughts are welcome (doesn’t hurt that I have a gift certificate for...

My instructor and I got into a discussion about how many devices can connect to the GTN650? I could not connect my ipad, and he could (he has garmin pilot, i have foreflight). the manual says the following: "Unit allows pairing of up to 13 Bluetooth enabled devices, with two simultaneous...

I've been given a practice IFR scenario where I can either divert around a collections of MOA's for an extra 30-40 miles, or fly right under the MOA's (they start at 8000MSL, and one could fly at 6000MSL) and save 30 miles. Part of scenario involves total failure of GPS somewhere along the...

SOLD!

I stumbled across 60-11c which discusses "test aids" and materials. It specifically says: "Applicants may use test aids, such as scales, straightedges, protractors, plotters, navigation computers, log sheets, and all models of aviation oriented calculating devices that are directly related to...

I currently use quiet technologies halo headset, but i stumbles on this brand recently and I am wondering if anyone has had experience with them. If so, can you provide a PIREP? Link...

Our soaring club has decided to do limited launches with private gliders. So, I was able to do my first flight today (after a ground check). For a 1975 vintage plane, the SGS 1-35 is a great performer (36/1 glide ratio). At about 400+ pounds, it climbed like a homesick angel in thermals and...

We lost our radios today and I used my handheld to call ATC. However, the headset jack was not well made and I kept losing the ability to receive. I had to mash my plug into the adaptor plug, otherwise it would back out and I was SOL. I am wondering if anyone has some headhelds with adaptors...

I am curious to know if anyone has experience with the Garmin GDL39 3D and/or the dual XPS 190. I will be using either one in a glider plane and I also favor the use of Bluetooth over Wi-Fi for transmitting the data to my iPhone. My airplane partner and I have a stratux system that we are...

I’m grasping at straws here, but I am hoping that someone knows someone in the Portland area that can help. I’m looking for a Cessna of some sort to be able to help my aunt drop off my uncle’s ashes offshore near Astoria. I’m in the area this weekend and an unfortunate combination of...

I'm in need of an upgrade to run my fltplan go app. My old Mini v2 (with cellular) isn't keeping up with the updates and the new mini 4 looks interesting. However, I took a look at the iPhone Xr and the 6.1" diagonal screen seems to be within striking distance of the 7.9 inch mini screen for...
