    Wouldn't that be geostationary? I know GPS are neither

    What is Canadian "Controlled VFR"?

    So just to be clear, since I'm going to Canada next month, my FAA issued PPL (without IR) will allow me to fly my N-number plane at night in Canada?

    Meaning of ATC flashing white signal

    I did a tour of my local tower. They had battery packs on chargers. Lots of dust on them.

    As someone who has tuned turbocharged cars making a good deal of power, I like this video.

    Mini 4 Yoke Mount

    I use this RAM mount: https://www.amazon.com/RAM-Universal-X-Grip-Holder-Tablets/dp/B00DV0UGQY It's the X-Grip, so I can use it without having to take off my iPad case. Works on the 172 and the Mooney, no issues at all.

    Florida Pilot having a bad day.

    What about using www.1800wxbrief.com for your briefing? Since this is run by FSS (Leidos?) isn't this the exact same information you'd get from a human briefer? I use this site religiously before every flight.

    Video: Lake Placid flight.

    Yup! SKC. About a 20kt wind at altitude. 7500 on the way there and 8500 on the way back. I'm in love with it. I even helped the AP-IA take all of the panels off during the 100hr/annual last week to learn more about it. At only 80 hours when I started flying the J, I was a bit nervous it would...

    Video: Lake Placid flight.

    The mountains were beautiful! A bit bumpy during descent, maybe 5k-3kft. Highly recommend the flight. It all happened fast for me, descending in an M20J, but it was rewarding.

    Video: Lake Placid flight.

    Thanks, all! We didn't do any eating there, although we probably should've. The most food we consumed was at the olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop, with something like 100 different varieties. I'm sure we'll go back. The cameras are the Gitup Git2...

    Video: Lake Placid flight.

    Wife and I flew to Lake Placid from Binghamton in a Mooney 201 (amazing plane, btw). This was our first real cross country together after getting my PPL. We've taken the kids >50nm away and flew right back a few times, but this was the first "trip." We did some x-mas shopping downtown for a...

    Raspberry Pi version of Flight Stream 210

    Sounds like a fun project. If someone wants to send me a spare 430 and a flight stream, I love to work on it. :)
