Anyone else aware that in 2021 the VFR charts will now fall into a 56-day update cycle rather than our current 168-cycle? https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2020/april/16/vfr-charts-to-go-on-56-day-publication-cycle-in-2021 I work for an operator that doesn't use electronic flight...

Customer tells me the gear down light sometimes won't come on in his P210N. Airplane just came out of annual a couple states away at a shop he trusts. I checked his airplane yesterday and found his two main gear down lock switches out of spec, switches flopping around in their mounts because...

Anyone know what their local airport rules are on abandoned airplanes? My local airport has nothing official so we have several aircraft that have been sitting on the airfield with no ramp fees paid for years.

I guess he didn't want to float into the side of a cliff. http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2017/01/n5vk-2003-cirrus-sr22-incident-occurred.html

I will try to keep this thread from being a rant-fest. I'm under contract on a cabin with solar electric power and a generator for backup. It needs a water well. There isn't a septic tank; there is a composting toilet and the grey water is used to water the trees. It's a great place for...

So, when I send a photograph of my plane to the A&P IA who is two states over so I can get my annual signed off, are color photos required? How many megapixies are required in the photograph? I have a pinhole camera but it doesn't focus well. Does the N number have to be readable or can I just...

So, if you were out of work for almost two months with a broken foot but didn't have loads of disposable money, how would you spend your time?

Most of us get them once in a while but I hate it when I'm at fault. After takeoff I returned to the airport due to a fast moving thunderstorm. I was landing long on a runway 10,000 ft long and 150 ft wide when I'm used to 3300 feet long and 50 feet wide. Put that different sight picture...

So... as I scour the Type Certificate Data Sheet for a 182C I don't see a requirement for a cylinder head temp gauge. The S and T models plainly require them. TCDS: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/fae5dd92c6210c7286257ebd006029c5/$FILE/3A13_Rev_72.pdf I am...

I'm in the process of bringing my 1975 Kawasaki trail bike back to life but my fuel tank is leaking. It got very rust over a long period of non-use and now has a lot of rust inside. The rust has created some pinholes in the bottom of the tank that I need to address. Anyone use a liquid rust...

Made by Electronics Int'l Anyone install or use the primary replacement oil temp and oil pressure gauge? I've got one on order that I will install next week. Never used one though.

Protein is essential to good piloting. That's what my flight examiner says at least.

Early generation cruise missile?

Has this been started anywhere? What are some things you have heard on the radio that made you laugh?

Over a year ago I flew over an airport that has a NOTAM out for work in progress on the only runway. I saw some guys in white suits on the tarmac and a truck in the grass beside the runway. After I flew over at 500 feet, the workers moved off the runway. I couldn't reach anyone on UNICOM. I...

In the wake of the coffee thread, I find it necessary to find what vessel you use to consume your lovely hot brew. Anyone have a cool coffee cup?

Anyone else ever build one? It has been quite a challenge thus far but I am nearing the end of the build.

Seems as though lately pour over has been winning with the wife and me.

Some days I wonder why I agree to take off. This cloud cover is not conducive to a 3500 agl over the airport.

So, here's a little piece airspace that doesn't make sense to me. Inside the blue shaded lines should be Class E from 1200' feet that laterally abuts Class G. So that means Class G up to... 14,500. Yet the magenta shaded lines near it don't say "Class G" on the outside. So, did the...
