    Engine Heater

    I used one for years in a Cessna cardinal with an O-360. Left it plugged in all winter and it worked great with oil temp and CHTs in the high 50s to low 60s even on the coldest days in Salt Lake (in a hangar with a blanket over the cowl).

    Garmin FS210

    I'm struggling to post a pic but here is a link to a picture of my GNS430W config screen. There are 4 channels for input/output. My setup has CHNL 3 showing the FS 210 input/output.

    Talked to someone at Uavionix last week who told me 30 to 45 days.

    Cheyenne to Salt Lake City Route Advice

    You have the right plan. Following I-80, the pass into the Salt Lake valley is only 7,100 feet so it's not ridiculously high like some of the Colorado passes. Your planned altitude of 11k-12k will be fine.

    New Aviation Instructors Manual and old CFI PTS

    So, the new version of the AIH (FAA-H-8083-9B) was published in June, but the CFI PTS was published in 2012 (last revised in 2018) and has not been revised to match the flow of the new AIH. Has anyone taken the CFI initial check ride (or signed off a student instructor) since the new AIH was...

    Pilot that has not flown IFR in almost two years. What steps to take?

    I took 25 years off of instrument flying shortly after getting my instrument ticket, so I can relate. I spent time with the FAA's Instrument Flying Handbook and then took a handful of flights with a CFII and got my IPC signoff so I was legal to file. While legal, I wouldn't say I'm completely...

    Nose wheel shimmy c182H

    I don't know about moving to the sides, but this is a quote from their website: The way we do this is by offering a Dynamic Balancing Solution, a high-density ceramic bead that, when easily installed, continuously balances your tires as you drive. The amount of material will distribute itself in...

    Nose wheel shimmy c182H

    I'm curious to know if anyone has tried using Dynabeads to balance a nosewheel? Might be easier than tracking down a motorcycle shop to do a dynamic balance.

    Clarity Aloft AF755 + Bluetooth dongle

    I have a Clarity Aloft Classic (which is not TSO'd) and use a different, but very similar looking, dongle and haven't had any issue with interference. I've used the dongle directly into the CA headset and also with the headphone input jack to the audio panel and haven't had trouble with either.

    "Air Force One" on a barge

    I am staying at the Gaylord right next door and have been looking at it out the window in my room. It looks sad sitting there all by itself in a parking lot with nary a runway in sight. They say that it opens for tours starting this weekend.
