Did you have an HD version? I think the HD is a complete redesign as I haven't had any of the problems you describe, except the fact that the menus are a little slow. Audio input would be nice though. As for mounting, the suction cup seems to work very well. I'm thinking of using a separate...

I like my GoPro Hero HD - great video quality, battery lasts hours (I filmed a recent flight from HPN-WWD in its entirety in 720p, then a bunch of the return flight as well without a recharge), the sound is pretty good (although no hookup for external audio). I'm planning to use it for skydiving...

TCAS II only commands vertical resolution advisories (descend/climb) so I don't think this would be a factor for the FRZ? I think TCAS III was slated to include horizontal advisories, but the Wikipedia article says it's not being actively developed.

Here's me (larger version of my avitar)

According to this FAA page, TCAS-I is only required for 10+ seats (the AS350 has 7) http://adsb.tc.faa.gov/TCAS.htm

Some more pluses: - Our club has no daily minimum, so long trips are practical (nearest FBO has a 5 hour daily minimum on weekends) - Our club has Bonanzas for $175/hr. FBO rents 172s for that (granted they're new and have G1000, but we've got IFR GPSs in our fleet) If you want to fly every...

They posted the pictures up on the Fox News site: http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/U.S./2009/08/08/midair-collision-hudson-river?slide=1

Yeah, it seems like incredibly poor taste for them to do this.

Yeah, I like that idea too. They might want to use a slightly higher limit for helicopters, so they can get over the GWB with enough clearance. Maybe 600 or 700 ft. Amazing photos on Fox News. I wonder if there's any video of this?

His quote that I liked a lot was in that article: ~~~ snip ~~~~ The Mayor, who does have his pilot's license, said, "If you want to look at the numbers, we have very few accidents for an awful lot of traffic. And any time you have an automobile accident, you're not going to go and close the...

I've never heard Bloomberg say anything that was in any way anti-aviation, much to the contrary, even when Cory Lidle crashed into the building, he was very level-headed and tried to calm concerns and calls to close the VFR airspace around Manhattan. In the end they did end up restricting the...

Below 1100' to avoid the class-bravo. In my experience, helicopters are usually at around 700'. It is a zoo, but fun and safe if you keep your eyes outside and make proper position reports (and listen for those of others). Every time I've flown it (in both rotor & fixed wing), traffic has been...

I was walking down by the river when this happened and saw the response - tons of police cars, boats and NYPD/Port Authority helicopters. Bloomberg was very level-headed (he's a pilot, rotor and fixed wing, after all) in the press conference - so I'm hopeful they won't overreact and close the...

I'm planning to fly in for the first time on Sunday (hopefully early) in a '65 v-tail Bonanza. Any thoughts on North 40 versus Vintage for parking/camping?

I got two reroutes on a recent flight from HPN-CLT (plus the original clearance given to me was wrong and it took them 20 minutes on the phone to fix it), then on the return trip another two reroutes (original clearance was direct destination - I knew that was too good to be true when CD gave it...

Another vote for the Extra 300 - I flew with Craig Fordem at The Aerobatic Experience in Boulder City, NV (near Vegas). Sweet airplane! Fun times!
