My plane has the Lycoming IO-390 engine with G1000NXi PFD and MFD with engine details on the MFD engine page. It's pretty new, was put in service in January 2022, and currently has 247 hours... Pretty much every cold start now (outside temp never below 50f) a few seconds after the EGT...

Anyone frequent Palo Alto airport that could give me a PIREP? I'm headed there in a couple weeks and will be approaching from the south/southeast at about 2:00 p.m. Best I can tell, about that time I can expect runway 31. I will be on flight following. I was thinking about crossing directly...

Finish deploying tower simulator systems in 95 facilities by December 2025. The FAA will deploy the first system in Austin by January 2024. Nowhere does it say what a "tower simulator system" is...

Gami and AOPA to the rescue! Actually, I have a lot of respect for Gami and what they have accomplished with G100UL. But here is another reason why I have lost respect for AOPA. Didn't Gami test for 10 years? Not sure this AOPA test is anything more than a waste of our dues...

"After an extensive trial, the University of North Dakota’s flight school has dropped Swift UL94 fuel and resumed use of 100LL. The school said ongoing maintenance monitoring of aircraft using UL94—almost exclusively Lycoming-powered Piper Archers and Seminoles—resulted in measurable exhaust...

I have a GoPro Hero 9 Black. I have it installed inside my plane hanging from the ceiling between front and back seats. It records the flight controls, glass cockpit and outside the front windscreen (and all audio communications). I'm disappointed with the recordings looking through the...

My car was totalled and I placed a new order with delivery expected in about nine months. First accident in over 40 years and I was not at fault (thank God for the dash cam...) Rentals are pretty expensive so if anyone has an extra car laying around I'm happy to pay you and keep the battery...

...Cessna won the battle for the hearts and minds of the flying schools, with the C172SP recording a 29% leap in shipments with 54 airframes delivered against the 42 of last year. Piper has combined the statistics of the Pilot 100 and the Archer III, both being PA28s, and reported shipments of...

Planning a flight from SoCal to VCB. Anyone have any experience flying there from the south? Will Travis Air Force base let me go over the top of them and enter the pattern? Or should I plan to avoid Travis air space and the alert area? I'll be on flight following... Looks like FBO is the...
