Which airplanes are you most excited about potentially being available in US under MOSAIC / mLSA rules? Are you more interested in the new, fast 2-seaters or modern, efficient 4-seaters? The first five poll choices are 2-seaters, last five are 4-seaters. (I know there are more options out...

I’m trying to find data on the success rate of off-airport deadstick landings. I’m having trouble finding the data I need. I’ve checked the NTSB’s General Aviation Accident Dashboard and CAROL, as well as AOPA’s Richard G. McSpadden (formerly Nall) Report, but neither allow me to filter the way...

Hi all. Planning on flying from US to Canada soon. I know there's currently no pre-entry COVID testing required, but it was just brought to my attention that mandatory random arrival testing at all airports goes back into effect on July 1. Source. Question, before this was suspended (June 11...

Let’s say my plane is signed up on LADD. Is there an easy way for my family to still track me? FlightAware wants $1400/year for a subscription plan to see my own LADD-subscribed airplane. There’s got to be a better option. (Let’s not have this thread turn into everyone arguing whether or not...

I made short video of the building of my airplane, "One Alpha Mike," a Sling TSi. About a year's worth of work consolidated into less than 8 minutes. Many thanks to Evan Brunye for expert Build Assist!

Thinking about making a fuel/lunch stop at 46U (Alpine, Wyoming), mainly because it's so scenic. However, I see conflicting comments in ForeFlight about service availability. I know there's a fly-in community there, but I understand the airport itself is actually public. Anybody have first-hand...

Looking at the various O2 conserving systems for operating at FL180 and below. Everyone seems to rave about Mountain High, but check out this comparison: - Mountain High 4-place system with a 15-cu ft cylinder is $2200. - SkyOx 4-place system with a 15-cu ft cylinder is $638 - With the Mountain...

Would you use an N-number on your plane if that N-number was previously involved in fatal accident? I'm not superstitious myself, but wonder if it might affect resale. Hopefully not too many prospective buyers are superstitious, either!

Anybody interested in fractional ownership of a Cirrus SR22? Would you love to own one, but can't rationalize sole ownership? Rental options either poorly maintained or too expensive? Do you live within or near the perimeter of Atlanta? If you answered yes to those questions, this might be for...

Haven't seen anyone post about this headset, so I thought I'd start a thread. I was looking for something super-lightweight, in-ear with good noise reduction. I was thinking about buying a Clarity Aloft or a Halo, then this thing popped up on my radar. Basically the same concept as those, but...

Anyone know anything about this so-called airport? Is this for real, or some kind of joke? It’s supposedly located right next to Armour Yard, where they park all the MARTA trains, near the point where the I-85 bridge collapsed last year. Supposed to have a 850’ x 30’ E-W runway. What would that...

Is there any database available where one can see Mean Time Between Failure or similar stats for engines delineated by model? A Google search turned up various articles and opinions but I didn’t see any hard data. I’m asking this question in relation to my thread about SR22 vs Twin Comanche...

Hi all, I'm an airline pilot with a GA background, considering an airplane purchase for family trips. Wife is somewhat nervous when flying on "little airplanes," wants either 2 engines or a parachute. (I'm quite familiar with the engine-out characteristics of light twins, having been an...

I've got a lightweight headset for my 5-year old, but even at the smallest setting, the headband is a bit big for her cute little head. I was thinking I could find a nice pillowy cushion for the headband which would make the ear cups sit higher for a better fit. But most of the headband cushions...
