    KPAO PIREP

    Transient parking can be a biatch. It is a very busy little airport. I had to wait 30 minutes for a space to open.

    Hitler rant parodies on Youtube

    Another way to consider it is ridicule and extreme mockery of people like this is the proper epitaph for his "1000 year reign".

    Hitler rant parodies on Youtube

    A lot of you have probably seen the Hitler rant videos on YouTube based of the movie Downfall. There was a particularly hilarious one where Hitler is ranting about the weather and not having his IFR cert. I'm trying to find it again, but no-joy. Anyone seen it?

    Can an annual substitute for a pre-purchase inspection? If an annual is done before the due date do any maintenance issues need to be fixed?

    A pre-buy inspection is more rigorous than an annual inspection. You control the pre-buy while the IA controls the annual inspection. The pre-buy is your guy and not the sellers. Mike Bush has a terrific video on pre-buy verses annual for purchase assessments. EDIT: Savvy Aviation Pre-buy...

    FAA Tells Pilots To Go Analogue As GNSS ‘Spoofing’ Incidents Increase

    Actually yes. It was used by the US airforce in the 70's and into the 90's. I saw the celestial nav process on a F-111 in 1981 and got tour of how it worked.

    New youtube channel idea

    Well... You could buzz people's airport homes, or deliberately crash a good plane, or try jumping out of a one plane to skydive into another and keep flying.... Oh, wait... never mind.

    C-182 Alternator Breaker Pops With Pitot Heat On

    There is some good advice here to have a look. Before you start... Tally up the amperage load in the system. Have you added new avionics, stuff plugged into the cigar lighter? Your aggregate load could be exceeding the amperage of the alternator. @Dan Thomas suggested measuring the current of...

    Upgrading Saratoga panel

    TO GA button is helpful for VFR take-off's for added safety, should something happen to the seats and provide time to recover from loss of ability to manage the yoke. A real problem on classic Cessnas. Regular maintenance and compliance with seat rail and seat wheel housing AD's is important...

    Dupont Imron paint

    The latest formulation of Imron (Axalta) is a shadow of its former self. Ecological regulations have forced it to be reformulated over the years.

    Cessna 182P - Pponk my O-470 or IO550?

    As a 182P owner who has had both the 3 blade hartzell Top Prop and presently a MT 2 blade; The Hartzell was significantly quieter. No 2 blade Womp Womp sound impact. The 3 blade kind of purred along and less fatiguing. The lower cowl is easier to remove with the 2 blade.

    Anyone use “One Stop Aviation” for Engine Overhaul?

    Good advice. To close the story... My O-470R was O/H at Pinnace Aircraft Engines with 6 new Superior cylinders. Pinnacle has a full 3 year or TBO warranty, whoever comes first. Tough to beat a backing like that.

    Marker beacon not working

    Flying into KCPR Casper Wy for the first time... this loud "AAAAAAA" sound that scared the crap out of me. Turns out it was their marker beacon getting picked up by the PSE-450A. Never heard one before.
