I was thinking if taking my GF and our dog on a XC trip in the airplane - maybe for 2 weeks or so. I'm assuming it will be the Tiger. Go somewhere like Maine, while crossing the middle of the country probably across the South/middle first and back via the Northern Tier (maybe even Canada) Would...

I guess there's a first time for everything. I'd filed IFR, or thought I did, but the controller in the air couldn't find it in her system. Night flight and I prefer IFR, so I decided to do an in air filing for the first time ever. Called FSS and they pulled up my aircraft and personal...

VASAviation has it here. An M20F with a bunch of oil on the frame and a big dent in the cowling after landing. Appears to have thrown a rod at 4500'. Landed safely.

A little while ago, both the RNAV 25 and VOR approaches went NA at night. Now, there is a NOTAM published that the LOC 25 is also NA at night. This is ridiculous. Any idea why @aterpster or anyone else with some info?

Anyone using this watch? How well does it work? Is the HRM accurate. I've been thinking of getting one not just for flying but for when I ride my Peloton - thoughts?

All, My inner spod sometimes takes me to the IFP Gateway to look up the development of approaches. Naturally, I tend to look at my common destinations the most. Anyway, KCMA is somewhere I fly a lot (and not just for the restaurant) and I was fairly shocked to see that the FAA had planned on...

I know they have Mutt Muffs for dogs, but does anyone have experience flying with their cats? Any precautions for their ears?

KSMO was departing Runway 3 due to some strong winds, but LAX was still west. Someone asked for the Mini and got it, so I asked for it as well, since I know IFR is nearly impossible off 3 and it was clear. Low and behold, they got me one too. LAX controller was very nice and I thanked him for...

Perhaps @aterpster can answer. KVNY is a glaring example of a very busy airport with absolutely no available GPS approach. 2 ILS approaches, 2 VOR and an LDA off Burbank's ILS, but nothing RNAV/RNP/GPS. Anyone know the reason why and further anyone know when/if it will get one? Seems a glaring...

All - I came across this recently. I was setting up to fly the RNAV approach into KHHR, because it gives vertical guidance and I prefer WAAS accuracy and sensitivity to a LOC. Read the chart - NA at night, so had to fly the LOC. They are based on the same intersections, fixes and even have...

Someone landed a Skylane on the 5 between OKB and CRQ tonight. Everyone safe and uninjured. No idea what happened yet. They apparently just missed an overpass bridge. Good work

All, I noticed yesterday that when I put in VTF on my GTN650, it killed all vertical guidance once intercepting the localizer prior to getting a reliable glideslope. Just keep it on standard and it will fly it vertically.

330ES ADS-B out, programmable transponder. Coming out of my panel to be replaced by a 345. Will be removed before the end of the year. Make an offer

As in, one they pick up? I have been thinking about some bad vectors and a speed request I got the other day and think it's something to talk to someone about. I tried the published number and extension for Air Traffic, but it just rang. No answer, no machine. Is it because it's Sunday? Should I...

Did a flight to HHR yesterday to go pick up something in DTLA, and there were numerous factors that led me there. 1) I checked the Google Maps traffic map, and it was the second quickest to my location, after KEMT. Faster than KSMO or KBUR, the two other airports I consider for DTLA (KLAX is...

All, This isn't meant to be a debate about whether we should still put ADFs in planes or if we should bother learning NDB approaches. Instead, I was just wondering which ones are still actually on? I don't see any active NDB approaches here in Southern California, but you still see some on...

All, I'd been using GP to file ICAO flight plans leading up to the switch, and it wasn't a problem, once I figured what to put in. Once the cut over happened, however, it suddenly started being a problem. The issue was that when you filed using "S" for standard IFR equipment (VHF/ILS...

All for sale, as we do a G3x upgrade. AI/DG/CDIs/ASI/VSI/TC and all the other stuff you can think of.

Coming out of an E33 getting a big panel upgrade. Make offers for all of them.
