Does anyone know why contact would be lost at 12,325 feet? Other than in-flight breakup or power loss? Not speculating, just want to understand the data.

Well then, a buffalo burger it shall be!

Just gave Garrett a call, seems like a friendly guy. I am scheduled to go buzzing around with him; watch out SoCal. Thanks again.

Thanks, Ravioli!

I will be going on a business trip to Laguna Beach, CA. I have one day free (and zero interest in Disney) so I thought it would be really cool to fly to Catalina Island. So I would like to find a CFI and plane to accomplish this. It looks like John Wayne (KSNA) would be the closest to me...

OK, I give up, what does the V stand for? I already know CRAFT (Can't Remember A F***ing Thing).

I'm glad you showed the FlightAware. I was having a "discussion" with my wife because she saw the crappy Daily Mail version first. No honey, my plane's wings are not going to fall off spontaneously...

After I got a 98 on my VFR written, my sister said she wouldn't fly with me because she would always be worried about those 2%. Sisters.

Wow, I never thought about that!

I have been flying my Cherokee 180 VFR for a year now, but am getting the itch to start IFR training. It has no panel-mounted GPS nor DME, and only the original 1-axis autopilot (Century IIB). I am thinking that the GPS should be the first priority so that I can then do RNAV, VOR/DME...

ATC has waited so long to call my base that I had to stop for fuel on the way back in.

OK, yeah a nice "stabilized approach"...got ya'. o_O

On occasion when a plane is landing and still maybe 5 miles out they are instructed to enter on base, but I will then hear the controllers say "Fly direct to the numbers." I assume that is for spacing, fine. The question is if you do follow the instruction verbatim, then you are going to land...

I've actually got two Pipers, but only one dog. The other one I have called a b**** on occasion, just depending on my last landing.

Testament to the flight attendants probably; the pilots maybe not so much.

NealRomeoGolf, what are you insane? You could fly for much cheaper from any flight school's arsenal of junk heaps! (How many times have I heard that?!) Oh, wait a minute, I did the same idiotic thing and purchased a Cherokee myself, and I'm loving every minute of it. Fly her regularly, and...

Is this only a descent rate to the airport itself? Other than for an extended final, how is that the slightest bit useful? A descent to an altitude designated at a waypoint would be SO much better, e.g., "I want to descend to 1000 agl by the time I get to a point 3 miles from the airport," or...

What's up with Houston and GA recently? Maybe I should consider moving.

2 months ago before I knew anything about Nexrad I scrubbed a flight because of some mild radar returns on Foreflight coming toward my area (admitted weather chicken). However, when the returns got to me, there was no precipitation to be seen. I then compared FF to my non-aviation weather apps...

Cruiser, you suffer from Analysis Paralysis (I saw that in a recent article on weather briefings). I admit to being much the same. In fact, as of today I am the founding member of the Society Of Analytics Paralytics, or SOAP. Our motto is "...because it is slippery when wet."
