    Finally restarted my flying lessons.

    Do they have a SIM? What is their position on SIM training?

    Finally restarted my flying lessons.

    He/she could just relay the CFI to this journal for a get to know you read and flight recap.

    Night currency

    My spouse is away so I figured it would be a good time to go do my 3 night takeoff and landings. I familiarized myself with the rules with regards to the proper times, thought to go up a bit early during civil twilight, get used to the night sky again. I have not flown at night in maybe two...

    Upgrading Saratoga panel

    I've learned to accept no time estimates from anyone. These things are just unreliable. My avionics took MONTHS longer than expected, even after everything was on hand.

    Upgrading Saratoga panel

    The G3x, doesn't it have its own source of charts or navigation also? Not sure about the other. Legal for VFR navigation. I agree TOGA button, careful where you put it, mine is too close to other things and has been hit by mistake twice... I do not understand why people put in two GPS units...

    What kept you going through training?

    Some of what you’re posting rings a bell with me But it also seems almost like a lack of good emotional self-control. I’m not sure if that was the case with me. As a very young man, I was living a life in a rut one of the things that I did that ended up being a good emotional hook to prove my...

    Data plates- manufacturing plates

    I want to learn more about these, and regulations. My paint shop just mailed me a homemade plate with plane serial number and type, along with an engine plate (180HP Airplanes for a 172). They said they forgot to install them after cleaning, as I did not have them clean the plane. So I guess I...

    Gold Seal IFR course- anything else needed?

    Wait, nobody has mentioned the "S" word yet? Other than that, time, money, patience, diligence. What I think would have helped here, focus on links for known power settings and IFR practice patterns. You can do these right now, on your own...

    Remote sign offs?

    And if some letter of understanding could be issued by the FAA, wouldn't exactly this sort of thing help GA?

    Remote sign offs?

    An example right now that I am dealing with: My alternator needs replacing along with the wire that runs from the alternator to the battery (really somewhere near the firewall, not the battery directly). Under direction of an AP, I've ordered the correct wire, connections, silicone rubber...

    Remote sign offs?

    Seems someone should ask the FAA to weigh in on this. MDs can do zoom consults, triage, prescribe remotely. They can make a decision on what needs to be done in person. In the modern world, seems like a mechanic could do the same. If I ever get my IA, will ask for FAA opinion as I build out...

    Remote sign offs?

    In this digital world, is it possible to perform work supervised by an A/P or IA on video or live feed that they can view and approve/sign off work? Why is this not being done in some fashion?

    Air-to-Air Cessna TTx

    Does anyone know how the interior is in a Ttx compared to a vans or cirrus? Width for feel and headroom?

    Electrical gremlins

    New alternator came today, hoping the shop can get a wired made for me. I feel a bit foolish after a chance encounter. I was looking for the wire to go directly to the battery proper, not anywhere else. The route looked like it would be convoluted and difficult so I did not look very hard...

    On the oil leak, was at G3X pressure sensor fittings. Did not note any thread sealant, hopefully now fixed.

    Might not be in that. These are new baffles on new Airplanes 180HP, likely as installed from Airplanes. 62848 is the number requested though.
