Suppose your tool chest can only have one 3/8" drive torque wrench and one 1/2" drive torque wrench. Which two would they be?

I was reading the install manual for a device that reads manifold pressure and they suggested one of these hoses for connecting the sensor. Is there much difference between the two? Is there a reason to prefer one over the other?

These were announced yesterday. A few quick observations: The color screen sure looks fancy. The GNC215 adds monitor mode to the NAV radio, something the the GNC255 did not have. I think I would have preferred another button or two.

On the one hand, you get a lot less features for the same price as a GNC255 and a couple hundred more than a Trig TX56a. On the other hand, you save on the installation costs and down time. I could see flight school planes wanting this but perhaps less so for personally owned and operated...

Please help me understand the Marvel Schebler Economizer circuit. If I read things correctly, carburetors normally have the space above the fuel bowl vented to ambient(-ish) air pressure. There's a fuel nozzle in the Venturi and the Venturi has an air pressure inversely proportional to the...

I like the Klean Kanteen uninsulated in plain stainless for plain water and HydroFlask if I need insulation. People at work seem to favor Yeti. What says PoA?

https://www.autoblog.com/2023/03/23/jeep-cherokee-discontinued/ OK, so it's the car (Jeep) and not the plane. But this quote made me wonder whether they made the same request to Piper and what was the response, if any.

https://www.avweb.com/ownership/aircraft-upgrades/wat-announces-landing-light-rebate-program/ Looks like the original 2010 Parmetheus nets $50. Anyone have the specs (particularly the brightness output) on these older units? Can't seem to find them on the WAT website. Wondering how much worth...

So this press release mentions "maintaining a nuclear deterrent without nuclear testing.” How does that work? How does fusion ignition deter nuclear threats? https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-national-laboratory-makes-history-achieving-fusion-ignition

For a while, KPHH was the only airport in the d-TPP that had an NDB IAP but no RNAV IAP. Looks like that's no longer the case as of the Nov 3, 2022 chart cycle. There's now a RNAV(GPS)-A and the NDB IAP has been removed. So I guess everyone can start pulling out their ADF now. :)

I got an email from some non-government appointed official today that this is National Estate Planning Awareness Week (NEPAW) and that The-Organization-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named is offering a will-writing resource called some-innocuous-sounding-thing. That got me to wondering, what do you guys...

I stumbled upon a couple of artificial intelligence art generators, which looked kind of interesting. You type in something and the AI engine will try to draw it. So I typed "Cessna 172 flying over the Kremlin" into a few of them. Here's what I got. https://www.craiyon.com/...

Apple the new iPhone 14 announced today has a satellite SOS feature. Any thoughts on how it compares to a PLB? (Unfortunately, I can already foresee this thread devolving into how this is yet another excuse to postpone upgrading that old 121.5Mhz ELT.)

Can we get change-bar versions of these ROC revisions? https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/rules-of-conduct-roc-update-effective-9-3-22.139571/

Thinking about an electric toothbrush. Is there much difference?

If one were to cut some lumber into chocks, how would you do it? 1. Rip cut a 4x4 into symmetrical pentahedrons on the table saw. 2. Rip cut a 2x4 into symmetrical trapezoid-based tetragonal prisms. 3. Grab some 2x2 from the cull lumber pile and call it a day. Ignoring the 1/8" kerf, here's...

Apparently COVID has been going around as several of my coworkers have tested positive recently. One even got it twice. The most recent was one I was in a meeting with and sat 6 inches away for an hour and a half. Most of that time, we were talking and discussing so I got plenty of exposure. The...

https://www.businessinsider.com/british-airways-pilot-jailed-faked-resume-flying-experience-pressed-button-2022-4 I wonder which button he pressed. Perhaps this one?

Apparently VAL had a radio called the ILS400 that was TSO. https://www.valavionics.com/ils-400-tso.html It only had LOC/GS so a bit later they added VOR capability and called it the INS422. It was also TSO. https://www.valavionics.com/ins-422-tso.html Finally, they upgraded the display and...
