    Aviation License Plates

    That’s it, I’m moving back to Washington, where my dad used to have a Stearman. Where was this plate then?

    Tailwheel Training in CT

    Great Barrington trains in a J-3. Not sure if it’s flying currently.

    High CO Readings

    Great thread here. I used to use a portable CO monitor but would forget to turn it on half the time. I’m absolutely LOVING the Lightspeed Delta Zulu headset which records the CO levels that I can look at after the flight to see any trends.

    Leaning to peak EGT

    While in formation, it’s a good idea to run rich for that period if you’re having to maneuver in place. If you’re lead, then lean as normal.

    Is this legal???

    They appear to have better visibility than Foggles.

    pilot airline jobs are we at the peak

    Not really. He’s saying once the music stops, if you’re in any seat and not out on furlough, it can be a great gig.

    Jeez, were you in my new hire class? The exact same thing happened to me.

    Pilots n paws on taxes

    I think you can only deduct up to $10,000 of those property taxes now. For me, the standard deduction was $13,850. I did 27 hours of volunteer flying in 2023 but didn’t bother itemizing as I wouldn’t reach the standard deduction either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Buying a LSA. Good idea?

    I had a Flight Design CTsw and loved it. Flew from New York to Seattle and back. The return flight took 2 days. The autopilot made it very relaxing and fun. Fantastic range and great efficiency. Parachute was a bonus when flying at night.

    Thinking about an EV (nvm, bought one)

    Quite a bit easier than installing a gas station at home.

    Anyone remember the FL390 blog?

    That’s me. I’m still flying, with 10 years left to go. But flying paragliders the last 10 years and now in a Husky has me satisfied and occupied. That and lurking on POA.

    Aera 660

    Mine is in the back seat had wired to a Garmin 375. Nice to have something to look at when you’re in the back.

    NYC Touch & Go?

    I prefer Newark. Very reasonable (last I checked it was $8.50 per 1000 pound gross weight of your aircraft) and they have the seldom used 11/29 runway that has easy access to Signature. I’ve done it twice and it worked out pretty slick.

    Pilot Career Question

    It’s worth the effort. I can’t even imagine a 9 to 5 job.

    New to Site - Aviation Author

    Only fair since I like to lurk over in the “Flyer” forum of the UK. Read the “I pulled CAPS today!” Post just now, in fact. Great forum. https://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=79cefd172f0b262cff630f2be7a269a4

    Delta Zulu Mic Gain adjustment

    Their customer service is one of the best I’ve come across. Give them a call and see if they have any ideas. My Delta Zulus have never had a complaint from controllers.
