Well, not exactly. The woman who murdered her husband takes Columbo up for a ride and rolls her Bonanza (twice). I have no idea why that was part of the plot, but we got to see a few minutes of flying. It’s on Amazon Prime Season 1 Episode 2. IMDB I did not know you could do that but...

but not learner. I’ve been helping an older CFI renew her certificate using the AOPA CFI Renewal Course and I thought it was amusing how many different ways they refer to pilots receiving training. If you need to renew your CFI this course is much better than Sporty’s although the quizzes are...

I’m getting blood work done for my Medicare physical and since I’m mostly vegan I asked for a B12 test. The reason given on the order is: R40.3 Persistent vegetative state.

We flew over a coastal cloud layer yesterday into KSMO which was reporting clear skies and unlimited visibility. The approach end to Rwy 21 was clear but the other end of the field was covered in clouds and when we took off a few minutes later we had to turn abruptly at 300' AGL to stay 500'...

My Cherokee sat since March while I tried finding an A&P to do the anuual. I finished the annual at the beginning of August and flew three times in August. Before I flew on the 31st, I filled the plane and it has been sitting on the ramp since then. Fuel color was normal. Yesterday the fuel in...

We’re going to record this month’s EAA meeting for folks who feel that they shouldn’t go out in public. Plus we have a really interesting speaker lined up so we might get some hits on YouTube. I connected an Audio-Technica shotgun mic to an Audio Duo mixer. The mixer has an output that...

Sitting in the cockpit, which magneto is left and which is right?

We need a new engine on our 1973 Cessna T210L and the prop needs an overhaul/replacement as well. We thought we might as well upgrade while we’re at it. The options I’ve found are: Ram has an upgrade to TSIO-520-M or -R and Hartzell ScimitarPlus prop. Western Skyways has a TN-550F upgrade...

Our EAA chapter hasn’t been filing our state forms for a while and I’m not sure if we have been filing the federal forms. I know from the news that journalists can get copies of non-profit tax returns but it isn’t obvious to me how find ours—if we filed any. I need IRS Form 990-N for the past 9...

My 6' 7" nephew wants to learn to fly and he barely fits in my Cherokee 140. If I could move the seat back two more holes I think it would be perfect. Is it legal to drill two more holes in a seat track? If so would it be a minor alteration?

On the Aircraft Spruce website the FAQ for the GTX 335 says that a software update is in the works for using the 335 as a WAAS source for a G5. According to the Garmin website, they are on version 2.12 now. Does anyone know if the updates allow it to be used as a WAAS source? Can you use the...

I noticed Stevo1Kinevo wearing a set on a couple of recent flights and on the last flight Mindy was wearing a pair in the back of a Cessna 206. They implied that they are alright, but didn’t really give a review. Has anyone tried them in a Cessna or Piper and compared comfort and noise...

I just passed my Fundamentals of Instruction test and will be taking my AGI test next week. I have a 1 year old Instrument Knowledge Test. Can I use that to get my IGI certificate or do I need to take the Instrument Ground Instructor test? If I get my AFI and IGI and want to get a commercial...
