...and I'm contemplating giving my money (the VA's money really) to another institution of higher learning. Is an M.S. in Aviation Safety worth anything in the real world? I would love to work in aviation again and I have a background running safety programs for a flight department(USN). That...

Growing up my parents always threatened to sell me to the gypsies if I didn't get my act together. What is the modern equivalent and how does one find them? Seriously considering joining the permanent RV life right about now. The road calls.

Sold.

Challenge accepted. If anyone in the area would like to help me reach my summer goal that would be awesome.

Someone talk me out of moving to Illinois. My Wife has narrowed down our choice of the locale to Northern Illinois, or SE Ohio. This is based on a (nearly) scientific calculus involving climate, economics, and insect migratory considerations. :dunno:

Can not grounding the ignition switch properly hurt the magneto? I recently discovered that my new ignition switch was not grounded correctly and now then the Magento died. Just curious if the one could have caused the other, or if it is possible/probable for both magnetos to fail at the same time.

I pushed the "show on map" button on a logbook entry to see what happens. I cannot find a way to remove it from the map. Does anyone using the IOS app know how to fix this issue?

I am not an A&P and have very little insight into the supply chain issues involved in that world. How hard are these rivets to get right now? Apparently, my AA5 needs about 7 of them, and work has been at a standstill for weeks awaiting the arrival of the mystical rivets. NAS1097AD3 rivets :sigh:

I read an article today about the new Delorean EV that is under development. I must say that I am pretty stoked by this development and have already signed up to stay updated on its progress. Also, I might have to cancel my M3 order...:popcorn: Dolorlean.com

I ordered a Tesla Model 3 two days ago because the expected delivery was June and I wanted to "get in line." Less than 48 hours later the expected delivery date is next week. Wow, that escalated quickly! Does anyone have experience with getting Tesla to delay delivery for 8-ish months?

TL;DR: This lesson learned had a happy ending and a few things to take away from the experience. 1. Brief the flight. Fly the brief 2. I've added a section to my take-off brief that deals with a partial loss of power and remaining runway ahead. I somehow managed to get a PPL without ever doing...

My understanding of this (https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/media/FAA%20OSA%20Flow%20Chart.pdf) chart is that if there are no other disqualifying issues, other than OSA diagnosed and treated, that a medical certificate should be issued. Then I...

I live in Walterboro, SC, and just purchased a Grumman AA5. I was hoping to find a local CFI with Grumman experience.
