    Flight Helmets that allow use of own headset

    I'm looking for flight helmets that allow me to use my own headset. I have one that I can use, but I'm overly enamored with it. It's more of a hack than an official design, where the styrofoam was removed and foam padding was added with room for my headset strap (I didn't do it, I swear!). I've...

    New task-based rule - how many hours is enough?

    With the new task-based rules from the FAA, the 40-hr fly-off can be replaced with a task-based plan. I'm in the process of going through phase 1 on my gyro now, but many of the standard EAA cards that are recommended don't even apply. I've changed some of the tasks to be gyro-relevant (e.g...

    AC 90-89C Task-based cards from EAA

    I was told that the EAA has task-based cards available to comply with the new Phase 1 flights, based on AC 90-89C. I haven't been able to find them on the EAA site. Does anyone have a link? Phase 1 flight testing on my gyro has just begun, and I'd like to look into using the task-based method...

    What's the point of the G5 GPS?

    From what I've read, the G5 comes with a built-in GPS. It allows the G5 to compute ground speed and bearing (I think). But it can't provide moving map features or anything like that. It also can't feed an external interface, as far as I can tell. Is there any other reason for the G5 having the...

    iFly and iFly 740b GPS

    Does anybody use the software or dedicated unit? I am getting the 740b with my gyro sort of as an MFD and wondering what people think of it? It looks pretty cool, and I'm thinking about getting it for my iPad also (you can use it on multiple devices for a $25/yr extra). This would replace my...

    Commercial tour operator turning off ADS-B

    We have a commercial tour operator who has been allegedly turning off his ADS-B for his flights. From what I've read, if you have ADS-B installed, you cannot intentionally turn it off. If you do, it is a violation (right Patty?). One rumor is that they do this so their creditors cannot tell how...

    What's required for discovery flights in E/AB LSA?

    What would be required to give discovery flights in an E-AB LSA owned by the pilot? From the aircraft perspective, I think a LODA is required? Is insurance a concern? Anything else? What about for the pilot? Can I get my CFIS and do it? The idea would be to offer introductory or discovery...

    Southwest 'purchased' frequency used by DZ for A2A and A2G

    The DZ in Sebastian has been using the same frequency for air-to-air and air-to-ground communication for like 20 years. They were recently informed that they cannot use that frequency any more because Southwest purchased it (probably licensed it). The DZ uses it to avoid causing congestion on...

    Who can inspect and annual an experimental?

    Aside from the 'builder', who can inspect an experimental? For example, if I were to purchase an already-built experimental, I would not be the builder of record and therefore could not perform the annual inspection. If the original builder is not local, has no interest, or is dead, who can do...

    Non-mounted GPS solution

    I'm looking to equip my future experimental and thinking of a moving map GPS. I don't want something permanent (like a G500) and don't want an iPad either (overheating issues). What other options are there? I'm probably looking at an iFly 740b or Garmin Aera but want to see what other people are...

    Recent GA experience with KLAS?

    I'm looking at flying into LAS to drop someone off. Does anyone have recent experience in going there? IIRC In the past it wasn't very GA friendly unless you were in a jet. HND is a lot easier but also a lot farther from everything. Any info would be great!

    AOPA iFlightPlanner on iPad?

    Does the AOPA iFlightPlanner work in the AOPA iPad app, or does it just launch a web page via browser? I started playing with it on the PC, but when I looked at it on the AOPA app I don't see where it has this functionality. One of the reviewers said it launches the browser but wanted to verify...

    MedXPress - Have you EVER been hospitalized?

    I am filling out MedXPress for my 3rd class medical. The last time I filled it out, I answered 'Yes' to the question 'Have you ever been hospitalized' question, because I went to the hospital several years previous for a concussion. I was discharged the same day, and no issues were found. My AME...

    Anyone been to Death Valley/Furnace Creek lately?

    How is the runway there? I saw a review somewhere that said the runway has a few really big 'bumps' in it - like several inches tall! That's not the kind of thing I want to deal with... Can anyone provide a recent pirep?
