So, who does them monthly and logs them??

Hi everyone, Happy New Year! I have praised the forums in the past for the (sometimes good/sometimes bad) knowledge and information I've gotten from them. Now is my opportunity to give back. Hopefully some of you future airplane owners (and current ones looking to step into a 6 seater)...

Passed my commercial checkride yesterday! Gail Lapook (Chicagoland area) was a fantastic examiner. Highly recommend her. Very thorough, fair, personable, and conscientious. Don't plan on doing it for a living, but got it to be a safer pilot, and maybe even move on to get my CFI/I to share...

Hi guys, One thing after another... Anyway, a few days ago I noticed some odd feedback on my Stormscope on a clear day. I kept clearing it and it kept coming back. It only happened for a minute or two before shutdown, so I didn't think anything of it (there were also several metal buildings...

OK, so this is my attempt at creating the ultimate "Can I log it?" thread. Let's say that we're flying across country on, well, a 767. I'm sitting there minding your own business, there is a sick kid in the back of the plane with a nun playing a guitar to entertain him, a couple of guys...

Hey guys, Cross-posting this with another forum to see if maybe some different eyes can help me out... but anyway, went for a $100 dinner run tonight, and tested the lights out beforehand. Noticed the beacon was extremely dim. Anyone ever seen anything like this before? The beacon is...

Hi there- Two questions. First of all, how often would you reweigh/rework your airplane? I cannot find the last weight and balance on my plane... it's just been a lot of +3/-3 entries in the POH. Secondly, does anyone know of a reasonably priced weight/balance place around the...

So, just got the plane out of my small-intended avionics upgrade. Today was my first test ride. Had an interesting observation that I would love to learn more about, and can't find much in the forums as far as answers go. - Upgraded my GTX-330 to ES for 1090 out. - Use Stratus 1 with...

So in researching why the heck I picked up a bug splatter on the windscreen at 9000', I discovered that bugs and birds fly a heck of a lot higher than I ever realized. What's the highest you've ever seen bugs/birds? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_by_flight_heights

So I am making my first round with the avionics shop. Nervously excited! - Upgrading my GTX-330 transponder to ES for the ADS-B-out. - Updating my Aspen EFD1000Pro firmware from 1.1.1 to 2.7.2 (big jump!) - Updating my GNS-430W firmware from 3.11 to most current - 5.x? - Rewiring...

So, who's planning on going tomorrow? I'll be there.

Hey everyone, So it looks like all of the hotels have already booked up. That's alright with me, though, because I'm around an hour flight to OSH. My wife isn't big on camping because she, and I for that matter, both like our showers... unless the camping is more Troop Beverly Hills and not...

Title says it all. I am looking for an attorney specializing in contract and business law. Merger and acquisition experience specifically. Please PM or email me. akahn at dltcorporation dot com Thank you!

Hey everyone, I just came across this bit of information. Looks like no additional hardware, just a software upgrade. Wonder if they will charge for it! http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=87ece437-79cb-46ed-9585-c5757917b86c My Aspen is still on version 1.0, so...

So proud of my wife, I had to post the video! She is such an inspiration for girls everywhere! https://youtu.be/pGn3hMF921s

OK, so thinking about this, here are a couple that come to mind. Some need no explanations, but others may. PIGLT ONE ARRIVAL - Into Orlando area... self explanatory BUFIT ONE DEPARTURE - Out of Palm Beach area named after famed resident and aviator Jimmy Buffett Your turn -> Go!

Hi everyone, So I have a question that I would love to hear from the controllers on, but it's suitable for everyone. Can you file an IFR flight plan with multiple stops? A good example would be KMDW->KFLL with a fuel stop somewhere half way... or a lunch stop... I have always done...

So I'm in the process of buying a new [to me] Lance. Some of you may have seen my posts here and elsewhere about this plane. Plane looked good to me, asking price was reasonable, many fantastic upgrades in the plane, and the engine was overhauled by a fantastic shop to factory specs 500 hours...

Hi everyone, Closing in on what has been an exceptionally long plane deal on a 76 Lance. It's been about 3 months since we signed the papers, but due to MX issues it has been a long transaction... but seems to be positively resolved. We are in the process of outfitting the plane. So far...

Stepping in dog doo!! Worst thing in the world! Preflighting the rental at the tie-down spot and behold the surprise from the prior renter isn't in the plane... it's left outside of it! Their pooch couldn't have run over near the runway... or a taxiway... or somewhere outside of the...
