    Poor man’s adsb-in

    Yesterday we were repositioning two airplanes of similar cruise performance and flying low level (no flight following) to stay out of headwinds. The trailing airplane was gaining on me slightly and we were at similar altitudes b/c a 500’ altitude change meant a 10kt penalty. We were on the radio...

    High Altitude Flight test

    I rarely fly below 10k, think you'll be fine. I don't pull out the nosetubes til the FAA legal required altitudes - I think they did fine when they assigned those levels.

    ForeFlight data updates

    I try to open and confirm viewability of every chart & iap, sid, star that I might be using, including alternates before every flight now. It would give me the shivers to open a ‘failed chart’ in flight.

    Wire vs synthetic rope; hangar doors

    My homemade hangar door uses four 1/4” steel wire ropes to lift it. I have replaced some of these b/c they wear at a tight bend where they are attached to the ‘roller’. I use a synthetic rope to winch my plane in, and it’s worked amazingly well. I was wondering about using this UHMWPE rope on...

    Dog Sedation

    If a veterinarian is asking you to inject your dog, the procedure would normally be explained in detail and probably with a demonstration. The chances of you killing your dog is pretty close to zero but there is a much better chance that the dog will be pizzed at the pain, whip around and bite...

    Leasing time in aircraft to a non-pilot

    We are allowed 6 dry leases at any one time. There's a bit more to that however. You can't have the Lessees constantly changing. There is no specific rule but if you give someone a dry lease then after their flight or flights, you take them off and replace them with a new Lessee; that's going to...
