    V-Tail gear-up at DVT

    Gear always goes down BEFORE you get in the pattern. no excuses, no mistakes. it's a pretty simple equation/routine. this negates the "when it it happens" talk all the non complex guys like to boast about on POA...so sick of hearing about that bs from guys who never even flown a retract

    N. Las Vegas Mid-air

    There's no doubt KVGT is a nice airport. Ive had some long CC flights there for kid's sports and the controllers have always been safety conscious. The incursion statistics have me thinking twice about it now. It is definitely busy and can be tricky with big gust differentials and variable...

    CHTs running cold?

    I need to check for that bypass valve. Right now the oil stays in the middle of the gauge on cruise climb (245* redline) and the cylinder temps are barely getting to middle on climb and short of middle in cruise fully lean.

    Plane crash Gillespie Field, San Diego

    Absolutely not a 100%..hence my question mark. It is a corporate med jet. Assumption would be some glass with a TAWS. I mean, many GA aircraft, including mine have that

    Plane crash Gillespie Field, San Diego

    A jet of that caliber would have a terrain warning system, right? Also, the pilot should know where they are at on the GPS screen in front of them. It's not like they're flying this jet off of steam gauges. I guess when he switched to VFR and couldn't see his attention was elsewhere. But even I...

    Navigating by Pilotage

    Coming from Sacramento I follow I-80 to San Fran and then either head either north or south on the coast. That magenta line can get places pretty fast though if need be or sometimes it's nice to have break and let the butler (AP) fly for a while.

    Are Complex Aircraft Obsolete?

    You're going to get a wide scope of opinions here. There are a lot of grumpy haters on this forum and they will tell you how horrible retracts are. However, rg time is always valuable to anyone who is looking to advance their career in aviation as a pilot. Also, RG planes are fantastic for XCs...

    Bonanza crashed near Visalia Airport(KVIS)

    Part of the story is that it was so foggy on the ground that it took 30m plus to find the aircraft even though they knew about where it was at (in an empty field)

    Bonanza crashed near Visalia Airport(KVIS)

    I was in the central valley Saturday. It was foggy and at 6:37 it was dark. Devastating for this family.

    Rental car woes

    I used TURO last week for a rental car in las vegas. It's an app where you rent someone's car. It came sparkling clean and full tank of gas. It worked out really well as they delivered the car to the North Las Vegas airport right to my feet. No bussing around or lines or BS. The convenience...

    Shopping for next plane, help wanted

    I have a T182RG. She cruises the fam around the Sierras real nice and when its hot in valley, getting off the ground quick isn't an issue. Now that I've had a turbo, I'd never go back. Plenty of room for 2 big guys up front. Its good feeling when the gear goes up and she starts scooting, you can...
