    0 time passenger lands plane (Cessna Caravan)

    Here's the track: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N333LD That could have ended up a lot different while they were over the water and lost a couple thousand feet. Glad it all worked out so well...I don't think I had a landing that good until pretty far into my training!

    Using Spotify while connected to Stratus

    Ha! Is that the old Iron Eagle tape deck?

    Using Spotify while connected to Stratus

    I connect my iPad to my Stratus WiFi network while flying and then connect the iPad to my audio panel via Bluetooth. However, when I try to play downloaded music from Spotify the Spotify app seems to get confused by the Stratus WiFi network (which has no internet, just ads-b data) and tries to...

    Time in type for insurance - SR20 vs SR22

    Correct. I was thinking it might be useful to get 25+ hours in a SR20, but if it won’t count toward an SR22 I may as well keep dragging along at 20 knots less in my Piper for now and save that extra $$ for when it counts. Thanks for the insight everyone...always appreciated!

    Time in type for insurance - SR20 vs SR22

    Does anyone have experience transitioning from a Cirrus SR20 to SR22, from an insurance perspective? My 400+ hours so far have all been Cessna and Piper, but I now have the opportunity to rent an SR20. If I get checked out and start flying the SR20 for the next 6-12 months, would that have any...

    PMA 8000BT troubleshooting question

    I just download a few playlists to Spotify on my iPad. Then I still get the FF alerts and can listen to tunes. That said, if I need to call for a release on my phone, I always just connect my phone straight to my A20 to keep things separate and functioning.

    GTN 650 Descent Calculator

    I’ve always navigated to Utilities > VCALC and then just configure the waypoint, offset and altitude in there to get the time/FPM. Hoping to get out to the hangar again in the next couple days to explore. Am I understanding correctly that if something was reconfigured the VCALC tool would...

    Hmmm...I’ll have to take a look. Thanks for the idea!

    GTN 650 Descent Calculator

    When I flew over the weekend, the descent calculator utility in my GTN 650 would let me enter all the variables but it would not do the calculation. I also noticed that the unit was slower than normal to acquire satellites when booting up. Anyone else seen this before?

    Target Date Retirement Funds

    Great feedback, everyone. I really appreciate it! Reading all of this and doing some research based on the input has definitely given me confidence to take this on myself...while still being able to keep it really simple and manageable. It looks like the trickiest part is going to be liquidating...

    Target Date Retirement Funds

    I have an IRA that I don't anticipate adding anything significant to over the coming years, so I've been tossing around the idea of taking it away from our financial advisor and simply moving it to a self-managed Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, etc. account to reduce the fees we are currently being...

    IR training: airplane vs. AATD vs. desktop sim

    Do it in the plane. Just make sure that you mount a GoPro and record the intercom so you can debrief the flight after. There is so much going on during the flights that you’ll miss half the feedback your CFII gives otherwise. It was amazing how much more valuable my training flights were when I...

    Adding a hold in ForeFlight

    I have a GTN 650 that is my primary, but it’s always nice to know how ForeFlight works as a backup, for situational awareness. I guess I just assumed that Foreflight would let me specify a hold like I can on the 650 and was surprised that it wasn’t an easy process. Thanks for the info!

    Adding a hold in ForeFlight

    Is it possible to add a hold at a random waypoint in ForeFlight? I feel like this should be a pretty basic feature but can’t find anything on it.

    Kobe Bryant dead in helicopter crash

    Since it’s a helicopter, what would keep the pilot from simply slowing down to a hover and turning around if the ceiling was lowering significantly in front of him?

    What's the best vacation you have ever had?

    When I was a kid, my dad and I took a tiger cruise on the USS Independence. We sailed from Pearl Harbor to San Diego with my uncle and I've been hooked on aviation ever since!

    NA - Video Production Costs

    Does anyone here use corporate or product overview videos for your business? We're looking at expanding some of our marketing into video and have seen a wide variety of pricing from local ad agencies (all of which do everything in house). The majority of what we shoot will be one of our...

    Piper seats

    The one’s I’ve flown (including my Warrior) were adjustable on the pilot’s side only. I don’t think it’s a standard thing...or maybe after 30-40 years people just haven’t replaced the cylinders in some when they they go bad.

    Alternative Color Vision Testing Frequency

    If you don’t go to the airport and do the light gun test you’ll have to do it every time you get a medical. If you do the light gun test it’s a one-time deal and you’ll never have to test again. However, you mentioned commercial which means you’ll also have to do a flying component and ID the...
