Hello all, Referencing American Plane Painting Co. (paintyourplane.com) based in Selma, AL. Forgive me if this isn't the correct venue, but I placed a deposit for an aircraft paint job with this company in March of this year, appointment in January of 2022. I began reaching out in mid...

Finally got my Aera 660 wired up to my airplane. Photos and captions at this link: https://imgur.com/a/X50ppI9 Pretty happy with it. Inexpensive and highly functional MFD installation which really enhances the SPIFR experience in my airplane.

One of those mythbuster flights -- relatively benign IFR (ceilings around 500-1000 for most of the flight) but got a surprise last second hold and an honest to goodness circle to land approach with weather just above circling minimums. Mythbuster because, myth 1: you'll hardly ever get a hold...

Provides some perspective on why the tech in those marvelous modern auto engines just can't seem to find their way to us in GA. A common complaint among those who think our engines are sadly out of date.

Wow, loving the new upgrade. Thought I'd share... new adds are a G5 HSI, GAD29B autopilot interface, GAD13 OAT/TAS kit, JPI EDM790, GSB15 USB port, a glideslope coupler, and perhaps above all, a revamped Altimatic III including overhauled pitch and roll servos and a lot of other TLC. Watched...

Thought some folks here might be interested in this. The FAA is aware that the existing FAASafety.gov platform might not be able to fully service the needs of its users and therefore the Administration is in the process of building an entirely new web platform. The new platform will hopefully...

Looking to start a conversation about pre-owned Extra 300s. Interested in the market and ownership costs. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I've craved an MFD for a while now in my Twin Comanche. I've posted pics of my panel before, but here goes: I've got a G5 HSI going in sometime in March, and at some point shortly thereafter the EDM-760 is getting upgraded to the 790 which will cover two holes. But what I...

I'm looking to make contact with any pilot who has an aviation "survival" story to tell. By survival, I'm referring to a possible off-airport landing involving having to make do for a period of time waiting for rescue, dealing with the elements, etc. Really anything on the mild to wild scale...

CFIs, I would like your thoughts and opinions. Hoping to generate some discussion. I am attempting to gather and form a set of 'best practices' with regards to teaching with an EFB, in support of a future FAASTeam safety seminar presentation. I'd love your input. Here's an initial list of...

Hello all, I'm pleased to mention that I'm FSDO-05 (Teterboro's) newest FAASTeam Representative. I participated in the program as a rep in Orlando from '09 to '11 and due to my hectic work schedule, I simply had to step away. Now I'm glad to be back in the busy northeast region. I'm hoping to...

Some of you may recognize me from the AOPA Forums. I'm branching out and trying some new message boards after a long period of exclusivity (LOL) over at the 'Red Board.' I was actually surprised to see that I had an account here 11 years ago, which I don't even remember doing. I haven't...
