I had my pitot-static system completely re-plumbed earlier this year. As part of that project, my altimeter was sent out for overhaul (it was leaking). I have been getting some weird fluctuations, but only occasionally. The fluctuations eventually settle down, but it’s a bit unnerving and it...

Here are a couple of videos of my Oshkosh arrival this year. Nothing fancy, but it might be of use to anyone who has never flown it. The first video starts a couple of miles SW OF Ripon and ends at my parking spot in the North 40 — I was by the Hilton. Fisk Approach The second video is just...

On Tuesday, July 25, around 9 pm I saw a plane land on runway 9. I was camping in row 566 by the Hilton, so I had a pretty good view. I saw the plane on downwind, and was wondering what it was doing. It then descended and landed. It exited left (north) and taxied to a hangar on the north...

Can anyone loan me a PMA-450 audio panel? Mine is going back to the factory for service. I’ll be grounded if I can’t find a slide-in replacement Thanks

I've seen a few posts by a new user that look suspiciously like some kind of AI like chatGPT. Has anyone else noticed this?

All loaded up, taxi to fuel pad, all fueled up, fired up, and... we're not going:(. Was getting ready to launch for a 1.5 hr trip to see the grandkids. We'd had the tickets for a train ride to the North Pole for six months, and the grandkids were waiting for us. Easy IFR (just clouds, no...

Starlink for Aviation is coming in 2023.:drool: So, I got an email about Starlink for in-motion use for RVs (the 4-wheeled kind). I don't have an RV (either kind), so I don't know why I got that e-mail. I went to the Starlink website and found out that it's $135/month + a one-time charge of...

I reviewed the rules, just in case. This is not a political post. It's a technical discussion prompted by a statement from the CEO of a major US airline. I got an e-mail today (April 13, 2021) from United Airlines. Here is an excerpt: "A note from our CEO, Scott Kirby. This Earth Month...

Someone shared this video with me this morning, and I just watched it over lunch. This was a great video. Capt. Chris Behnam tells the story of controlling the 777 after an engine failure at FL360 200nm from Honolulu.

I'm going to have the Piper SB-1345 done on my Arrow. Can anyone recommend someone near Houston, TX that is qualified in accordance with NAS 410 Level II or Level III? The inspection of the bolt holes must be done in accordance with SAE ARP4402. Has anyone had this done? Either in response...

TruTrak had a FB page that was a good place to monitor for announcements and updates. Even after the acquisition, they maintained this page for a while. Now, it looks like its gone. The only page I can find is BendixKing. I can't believe they don't have a dedicated page for TruTrak. I don't...

Well, it's that time again. Time to send $65 to the National Aviation Center so that they can renew my airplane registration. Their official-looking letter warns of "a fine and/or additional penalties". I better get right on this... or.... maybe I'll just go to the FAA site and renew for...

It finally happened. I got an e-mail from Flightaware that my N-number was spotted in flight, but it wasn't me. It was a "position-only" flight, but the data source was Tampa TRACON. I'm used to my actual "position-only" flights being sourced from "Flightaware ADS-B". I didn't realize that...
