Obviously, we cannot sue a message board directly, but here is what I propose we do: 1. We use the Chat GPT to demand a list of all pilots posting in the HT LMFJD 2. We use the Chat GPT to demand a detailed record of the number of posts being liked /replied for each poster 3. If the poster in...

Hi. What do you suppose a banner stating (in yellow) "Sharp Turn During Cruise" means in foreflight? I have a flight which I am changing the time to Saturday at 9:30am EDT and I see this message. If you want to play along: KMMU WALOB FEMDU DECKR TICKL NANCI TICKL DECKR WALOB SAX JOKMI KMMU...

I'm exploring the possibility of joining a partnership of a cross-country capable plane. Here are the key details: Partnership Structure: Looking for a small group of committed pilots to share the joys and responsibilities. Expenses like maintenance, hangar fees, and insurance will be shared...

I downloaded the IPH from the FAA website on both my phone and my windows computer. Both of them have several graphics where the letter combination fl, fi or ff have blank spaces instead of the letters. Has anyone else noticed? Page 48: (1-32) page 32: (1-16) Page 22: (1-6)

Had a variety of controller interactions today. The morning controllers seemed in good spirits despite having to work the holiday. There were a lot of “Happy New Year”s exchanged between pilots and controllers. The evening controllers were not so cheerful. I don’t blame them, but the...

Hi. A local flight school is charging 5,000 dollars for a cirrus sr20 checkout. The training is 5 hours of ground school and 10 hours of flight training for private pilots. They also want renters to have 80,000 dollars renters insurance. Finally the Cirrus rents at 250 per hour wet. What do...

Hi. I have a friend whose mom had a stroke in Colorado. She and her husband were moving to New Jersey when it happened. Anyone making the trip anyway and can fit two more people in their jet? Does anyone know how to transport a patient and her husband from Colorado to Newark NJ? Justin

Hi. Has anyone used or looked at sharemyaircraft.com? Any opinions? Justin

I was wrong Disregard.

I was flying VFR with flight following Saturday and the Washington Center controller says "advise of any altitude deviations" (which is normal in my neck of the woods). A few minutes later, I need to deviate because of a cloud is at my altitude. It was pretty hazy and the sun was blocked by...

Hi. My darling loves Sauerbraten. She said if I can find an airport with a German restaurant, we can fly there for a meal. Does anyone know of a restaurant on the East Coast that serves German food? I heard that Eckhards at W75 closed. I use fly2lunch.com ; but it doesn't always indicate...

Which airport would you overnight at in the Toledo Ohio area? Would want self-service fuel. A surprising number are full service only. I’d like to grab a cat nap while there. Any great pilot lounges in the area?

Hi. In the 1969 Cessna 182M I fly, I can cruise at about 140 MPH indicated at 5,500. I use 23 MP (full throttle) and 2350 RPM and lean rich of stumble. The plane is normally aspirated. I use rudder trim to keep the ball centered once in cruise. I don't have a useful EGT indicator. I do...

When I fly, I don't drink a lot of water until I land, but if I'm flying for a few hours, that can lead to becoming dehydrated. I always tell passengers to drink a lot of water after they go flying. But I've discovered that if I drink only water, I still can end up with a dehydration headache...

I was really impressed by how the pilot kept working the problem during their engine failure. I know the youtube title is misleading, but the video is interesting.

My wife and I took a walk today along the Hudson River West of Manhattan. I was surprised how many fixed-wings were flying south bound in the Hudson River SFRA. In 30 minutes, I guess there were about 8 or so. Many of them seemed to be flying lower than the 1000-1300 range. Also, although...

Who else is impacted by the towers time reductions? It was so weird flying into KMMU (Morristown, NJ) yesterday and calling out my locations and discussing separation strategies with other pilots. https://www.faa.gov/coronavirus/regulatory_updates/media/Control_Tower_Hour_Adjustment_list.pdf

I did something I never thought I would do. I landed at Newark Liberty Airport (KEWR). During the approach, the controller says "Fly heading 360 at or above 2000 feet." A little later he asked if I was flying 360? I said yes, he said, “oh, must be the wind, fly 330”. The winds were probably...

Hi. My Darling suggested that my older brother would like to visit our uncle who lives in Falmouth, about 15 minute drive from the Falmouth Airpark (5B6). So we piled into the 182 and flew along the Connecticut coast. It was a beautiful day to fly. The Falmouth Airpark, MA (5B6) is south of...

Hi. I'm reading "The Calculating Stars". I'm enjoying the story and writing. The Narrator is a pilot and talks about landing at New Century Field in Kansas (where I did the bulk of my flight training), meeting with the 99s, flying in airshows. I haven't read to the end yet. I wish it had...
