I was aware this report and understand that ice bridging isn’t the issue that it once thought it was. I just have experience in the 210 that the ice really doesn’t move if activated too early. I usually wait until I see 1/16” before I inflate the boots. Then subsequently re-inflate the boots...

Actually, you don’t cycle them as much as you would think. For the boots to really do their thing you have to let the ice accumulate quite a bit in order break it off when they inflate. In any case, it’s a real kick in the teeth when these overhauls occur. It may have just been their time to...

When I was teaching as a CFI, most of the time it was in a 152. I weighed 180ish pounds and the student weights varied. I personally didn’t have any issues. A 150 would be a different animal though.

I tried it at OSH as well and felt the same way. I’d love to hear from someone that has tried it in a GA airplane vs an A20.

My initial thoughts were the same since it’s on the checklist. But, as I’ve learned with other things in aircraft ownership, if you follow the POH (especially one written 30 years ago) to the letter there could be consequences (the book leaning procedure during the climb comes to mind). Just...

I have an iPad Mini 4 and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, it appears that Apple may be discontinuing the Mini Model type as there haven’t been any upgrades to it in over a year. We’ll know for sure by Christmas if they don’t offer a new Mini model by then.

I just found this thread. This app has really matured since it’s introduction and the review it got by iPadPilotNews last year. V2 added Baro altitude reference and IFR Minimums alerting. Here’s a demo video of the app on a flight into Chicago Midway. Very Cool!

WiFi only iPad + External GPS works because iOS gets its position info from the external GPS. You will need a cellular connection to use any App that calculates optimized routes and downloads map data as part of the optimized route. Simplest solution: Buy a WiFi + Cellular iPad. You get the...

I log every approach when I’m flying. I do differentiate between approach types when I do however, so I have lots and lots of visual approaches. As for Precision/Non-Precision approach types, I agree with the majority here. It’s entirely up to you when you log it. If you fly through a cloud...

Hey guys, I just had to spend 3k to overhaul to flow control valves and a pressure regulator. It turns out the culprit was the pressure regulator failed first and then allowed vacuum pressure to stay in the system until it took out two of the three flow control valves. My question, is with...

I’m curious as well. I have an A20 and was looking to add another headset. I fly a B737 at work and a 210 at home.

I used a 150/152 to teach for many years and never had any issues. Two 200 lb guys with full tanks could be a problem though.
