    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

    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...

    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

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Cumulus Clouds and IFR

    As an instrument rated pilot who hasn’t spent nearly enough time in actual IMC yet, I’m curious what people’s tolerances are for going through cumulus clouds vs. asking for a deviation. Is there a general rule of thumb for what is tolerable and safe?

    757 De-ice

    I’m currently sitting in the back of a Delta 757 in Fargo, ND and we were just told that the de-ice fluid they have isn’t safe to use until the temperature rises 2 degrees...so apparently we’re stuck on the ground for now. The ASOS is reporting -23C (which is cold, but not bad at all by ND...

    NA - Anaheim event

    We're heading to Anaheim for an event at the Honda Center in January. I'm not at all familiar with the LA area, so hoping one of you can help with a couple things: We'll fly Delta for this trip...is John Wayne the best option? Any recommendations for areas to stay? We're planning to have some...

    COPA - can’t sign up

    Anyone tried joining the Cirrus Owners & Pilots Association lately? I’ve tried multiple times, with different credit cards, in the last week and every time it errors out and says to send them an email. Unfortunately, I haven’t found an admin email on the site and could only send a message (which...

    Precise Skywriting

    Check out this ridiculously precise skywriting. Apparently there were multiple planes, but still hard to believe they were able to keep everything so tight. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2018/04/18/skywriting-phoenix-morning-collaboration-summit-cisco-airsign/528226002/

    NA - Office Wifi Network

    We’re moving to bigger office next month and I need to set up a little more robust WiFi network to ensure maximum performance everywhere from the lobby to a garage on the back of the building. The new space will be about 4,000 sq. ft. and I’m comfortable tackling IT projects on my own if they...

    Lost DG on Approach

    I was out shooting some approaches this weekend when my DG failed. Fortunately, it was VFR and I had a safety pilot, so I just kept the hood on and continued the approach for a priceless experience. While I have practiced partial panel plenty of times, I've never had anything fail in the real...

    Private Party Rental

    Anyone have advice regarding renting from a private party? I’m at a point where I want to step up from a Warrior to something faster, but I’m not quite ready to buy. There are no options around here for flight school/FBO rentals of anything decently IFR equipped and faster than my club Warrior...

    Colorado Springs

    I’ll be making a weekend trip to Colorado Springs in my Warrior this January. I’ll be coming from the Dakotas and don’t have any mountain flying experience, so the plan was to grab a car and drive into the mountains for a little sight seeing on Saturday. However, after thinking about it more I...

    NA - Business Insurance

    Anyone here an expert in business insurance? I own a small consulting firm with five employees and currently have a professional liability/E&O policy. For obvious reasons, we are also adding general liability insurance now. My personal insurance policies are with AmFam, but they aren't willing...

    Anyone run a business with their spouse?

    My wife and I have been fortunate enough to grow our consulting business considerably over the past couple years and I would like to start looking at acquiring a company-owned aircraft later this year. This is NOT a "what plane should I get?" thread though. As a non-commercial-rated private...

    NA - Speaker Setup for Guitar & Singing

    Any speaker/amp setup experts out there? We inherited a speaker from my father-in-law and I would really like to put it to use. I have two acoustic electric guitars but have never plugged them in to anything. My wife and kids like to sing so we set up a room in our house with a couple of...
