How do you get the 'recent' posts view now? That was basically the only view I used, I'm not seeing it. Maybe I'm blind?

A recent rental that I got checked out in had an add-on 'glass' pfd. I've used those before and they've always been matching to the airspeed units on the analog instrument and POH. This one has the electronic PFD in knots and the POH / analog airspeed indicator(which is still installed) is in...

Would it be possible to modify the forum so that you can upload screenshots to 'conversations' similar to how you can upload to a forum post and reply? Thanks.

What are your thoughts on this new automotive based certified aircraft engine being developed. It looks promising. Their grabber from the web site: PUSH BUTTON START NO CARBURATOR HEAT. NO MIXTURE. NO RUN UP. JUST FLY... https://corsairpower.com/

I am looking for fun ways to add aviation knowledge to a kid's flying game. Wall of text warning, tldr at the bottom(and in the title). I made this game mostly for myself, initially, to dust off my dormant 'computer science' skills by learning some light scripting. It turns out that kid's...

The Cessna 210 crash thread was locked so I'll make a new thread to ask this. I noticed that one of the frames of video shows the vertical speed indicator and that made me wonder, what would the typical vertical speed at power off best glide be in a 210? I know it would vary by weight and...

I made this Roblox game with a biplane and I'm wondering if anyone can fly it and give me feedback. TLDR folks, try my LEGO flight sim game: https://www.roblox.com/games/3970172213 Before you try it and say, "I can't control the darn thing!" I should give you some excuses (er... tips). I...

Charging dual rates for solo flights? I'm just curious if this is a common practice, I saw this at a school and thought it was odd. I can understand paying an instructor for their time pre or post flight briefing, but charging dual rates for all solo hours flown? I don't get it. Anyone...

I'm trying to help someone with their phone/tablet but I don't use Garmin Pilot so I'm just wondering, is the app tied to the user's Google Play account? Or do you have a separate Garmin account that you use once you get the app installed on a phone? Would a new google play user/account have...

I was wondering if it is normal in a PA-28 161 to require full nose down trim with flaps(on landing approach). A rental I've been flying recently is confusing me a bit. I would typically expect to feed some nose up trim when slowing to land, and end up on the ground with the trim 'nose up...

For an MOA, on the chart in the altitude column it only lists a single altitude, for example, Gamecock A, 7000 ft. .... : The ones with ranges make sense, but the ones listing single altitudes have me scratching my head. So the military only conducts ops at 7000 ft. in that area? Or only at...

I haven't used this, but I signed up for a free account. Seems like it would do simple scheduling for up to 5 planes and/or instructors. Unlimited users. Mobile device interface looks pretty nice. Its free unless you want to manage more than 5 resources or automate payment or some other...

I thought this was crazy, so I'm sharing. Anyway, I went to reserve my favorite rental plane the other day and was told it was going to be down for a few weeks due to damage caused by a renter. So, I'm thinking, hmm, I guess someone landed hard and damaged the nose gear or dinged something...

OK, so I'm interviewing for jobs for the first time in 20 years or so. I've been asked twice now, 'So what is your dream job?' or 'What is your ideal job?' or something to that effect. Both times I was taken off guard and drawing a blank with how to respond. Is this a trick question? I...

I'm a renter so I don't get much downtime in the plane to play with radios etc. It seems like every flight I'm fighting with the radio to get it set where its comfortable and functional. This last flight everything was OK except for the transmit volume. Is there a knob to adjust that? I...

Curious if anyone puts their pilot cert on their non aviation resume. Seems somewhat relevant to me, knowing what goes into getting one. Not sure if anyone outside would get it or if it's odd to add or not.

Just looking for some comments on this youtube video I stumbled on. The video(2nd attempt at 1:00): When I was watching this, I was a little confused as to what I was witnessing. It seems that he is angled towards the camera, left of the runway, most of the time. That nose alignment had...

Saw one of these today in a semi-fast food joint, wasn't sure they still made these things.

I did, so I emailed them and got the answer. My example, notice the two checkpoint flags and two airport info text blocks for SUT: And the explanation: "This is an interesting situation due to the way VFR charts are produced. I am going to attempt to write out the process so bear with me…...

I should have posted this a week or two ago, but if you're near Eastern NC and looking for an idea, there is a county fair at the Wilmington airport this weekend, walking distance: https://www.capefearfair.com/ Fri: 5pm-Midnight, Sat: Noon-Midnight, Sun: 1pm-11pm
