Haven't seen a good rant post in a long time. So here is one. Not as high quality as a good ol' fashioned Sac Rant Post, but still... Organic Peanut Butter... WTF, right? Taste - Excellent. Ease of use - Holy mother of god herself what the actual hell with this stuff? It comes like epoxy in...

Haven't posted for a bit.. so just wanted to say merry/happy/joyful/ [insert non-denominational or denominational which ever is allowed or more PC at the given moment] holiday! Hope everyone is doing well and keeping the blue side up! - [insert internet forum alias here]

These guys must have trained at the JW flight school and earned their JFR rating.... They show off their skills in this video - crazy bank angle, dive-n-drive to get it down... crazy vertical speed... I mean.. the captain in the right seat (I guess he's a captain... he's got FOUR epaulettes...

Actually, my motor-vehicle has a full tank. But the news is reporting runs on gasoline. Should I start filling up non-approved containers with unleaded auto-gas? Any other PoA members seeing gas lines and/or shortages? First toilet paper. Now gas. What next? Damn hackers.

I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks along every road, street, cul-de-sac, drive, court... you name it. If it is a paved, drivable surface, there is a nice, well-maintained sidewalk on either side of it. The kind of sidewalk that should be ever so inviting to pedestrians out for their mid-day...

I was going to write the title as "Bee Rant", but that would probably make the honeybee lovers mad. To set the stage - my aero-plane is broken. She sits with her alternator ripped from deep within her most scared of cavities - the engine bay. She sits, unable to produce the life-blood of her...

Why do you people hate them so much? I love 'em. So this isn't a rant, I guess. Because, of the many many bags my wife bought for Easter, there are now about 4 fruit flavoured jelly beans remaining in my house and approximately 3,235 black licorice ones. Which I love. Which I shouldn't be...

Ok, not really a rant. And not really a total career change. Current position - Sr. Manager of an IT group that builds/maintains a back-office financial system. New position (same organization) - Sr. Enterprise Architect One is on the manager track. The other is an individual contributor...

Ok, it's not a rant. But it was cool to combine Ted's thinking about... and Sac's rant concept into one post. I have buyer's block. What, in the name of all that is holy, am I supposed to get my wife for her bday. Besides a Bonanza, of course. I can't stomach getting her another gift card to...

I know this is not aviation related, but is anyone else facing challenges finding innovative ways to realize synergies across organizational verticals to gain optimal efficiency across all value streams? I am aware that agility and effective, influential leadership are key, here. In order to...

I know this topic comes up in this sub-forum from time-to-time, but I think it bears repeating. Haven't flown an approach since mid-December. Have flown a bunch in VMC and flown on a couple of IFR flight plans, but no approaches. Went to shoot some practice approaches today.... Wow. So...

Ok, round two in the help-me-identify-this-leaking-fluid series of posts. This is regarding the underbelly of our PA28R-200. 1969 vintage. Today, was bored silly so went out to wash-wax-all the plane. Got ambitious and started cleaning the bottom from tail first to nose. Got about two feet...

Crazy question... (no, I'm not thinking of putting one in the Arrow)... Does anyone have any reference material on this system? Pilot's Guide, Instruction Manual... anything... There is pretty much zero information on the interwebs about this fine piece of aviation history. Google turns up a...

Got an interesting one, here. Wanted to see if anyone has had similar experiences or can suggest possible causes. And yes, we are going to get this checked out soon - Annual is close. Some background - bought this '69 Arrow in June 2020. Just before we bought it, previous owner had the prop...

You call the phone number and the phone-tree-woman presents the options in a very proper British accent. You get the front-desk-person on the phone and ask if they are able to provide you with their finest 100LL. And they say..."We have fuel here." And you reply, "Oh, ok you have Jet-A... how...

I have googled and googled and my fingers hurt from trying to google any more on this. So I ask for the help of this esteemed collective of experts. Short and sweet, here - I need to replace panel bulbs in our 1969 PA28R-200 Arrow. Especially the ones near the MP and RPM gauges. MP is very hard...

What ever happened to the rant threads? Is everybody just completely happy and content and there are no piddling issues to rant about anymore? No minor irritants? No more trifling annoyances left??? I find this hard to believe. I had to resort to ranting in a completely legitimate thread...

I am going to get this looked at by an avionics shop/Aspen installer, but wanted to see if anyone with the Aspen EFDs has ever seen this. Short story - Every once in a while, we'll get the double X on the EFIS - Attitude Fail and Direction Indicator Fail. This has happened to me once on the...

6PC's thread about helping him replace his tach only got me thinking of something we are planning to do with our panel. Since this is different from his post, I figured I would be a good internet citizen and start a separate thread with my own questions. We have two needs - one is to install an...

I have used ForeFlight for about 6 months after switching over from Garmin Pilot. I like it. Actually, I like it a lot more than GP after getting used to it. I don't want to turn this into a GP vs. FF debate (but feel free, of course). I just want to say what a tease the folks at FF are. I...
