Just today Foreflight is throwing me this when I try to download an update. I have only used 53gb of a 256gb iPad. Plenty of room. Running iOS 15.2. Old, I know. But why now? Foreflight ‘support’ of course says to update iOS. Claims the old iOS Miss Reeds the amount of data storage...

Dumb question: The last couple flights I’ve done in our school’s 1977 PA-28-161 have had what I feel lower that usual RPM. During a night flight at 2500 feet (warm evening, admittedly) FULL throttle barely got us 2500 rpm. Past experience I swear I should have seen closer to 2600. Two nights...

We took a trip out East in my 2016 Sonata hybrid (not a plug in). Driving thru Appellation mountains (granted, big hills) I encountered something that worries me for trip home. Going up hills, both the engine and the HEV battery power the wheels. Fine. What’s not fine is when the hill is so...

My daughter has a 2014 Ford Fiesta. Got it 1 year ago and it had a new battery put on at that time. In the last month, it has been dead three times when she goes to start it. She generally drives every day, but each of these times the car did sit for 2-3 days. I'm having a shop look at it now...

Power went out for a whopping 15 minutes just now. Kid is elearning. Chrome book is battery, but internet goes out (of course). Any recommendations for a UPS for the living room that would really only need to feed the cable modem, WiFi router and one 8port switch? Something to keep WiFi up and...

Help! I bought my daughter a 2015 Ford Fiesta. We synced up her iPhone XR. So far so good. If we initial a call directly from the phone, 2-way talking works fine. Same calling her. She tried to use the hands-free way to dial. Pushed the little face-speaking icon button on steering wheel. Car...

I’m in Illannoy. I think I’ve hit my limit. Looking to relocate closer to family in either Indianapolis area or Evansville area. I’m a computer guy, so I can live/work anywhere there’s good internet. I’m in a good club at the moment. 4 planes, good rates and I’m an active CFI there. Anyone...

I’ve made a couple simple instructional videos just using iPhone as camera and iMovie on iPad to piece things together. That works fine for what I do. I finally bought a new laptop (Win 10) and wanted to do any future editing there. iMovie is out. I’ve heard Movavi is good for what I need to...

I typically only teach in the club that I belong to (and have insurance under). Another person on the field has asked me to train him in his personal plane (PA28). I told him to add me as a named insured on his policy. I just got a copy of the new policy. Has verbiage like “The Certificate...

Anyone meeting up anywhere? Talk about Watertown (aka Osh 1.1). Or would that be Osh Beta... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Noob question(s): I've been to Oshkosh a couple times, but this year will be the first flying in and camping for a few days. Planning on Sunday morning. My plane is old enough that Vintage camping is a technical option if GAC is full. Looking over the maps, it looks like most of the amenities...

Background: The flying club I belong to just acquired a 1966 Cherokee Six (PA32-260) that I used to be in a 3 person partnership in a few years ago. So, I'd like to think I know the airplane fairly well. It has the push-button starter instead of the turn-the-key starter. We were told to put mag...

What fun. In hospital with first ever spontaneous pneumothorax. They've got a tube in to suck out air and re-inflate lung. Just had a CT. initial read looks good. Waiting for big doc to come talk to me. Earlier, in day recommended physical pleurodesis to reduce likely hood of further events...

I had a pair of X-11's that I really liked. Cables started going bad. Called DC and they said they wouldn't repair due to age, but accepted as partial trade in on sexy new Pro-X ANR. Fine. Worked ok for a few months. Then the speaker on the mic side lost 90% volume. Since this style is HEAVILY...

Cross posting from AOPA boards: Our club's 1971 172 flaps have been making a racket lately. Our mechanic took the motor out to test it. Makes a racket outside of the plane, too. I called Aircraft Spruce to order a new part. They said they'd have to call around, since it's a specialty part. No...

We've had an "intermittent" #2 VOR head for a few months, in our club's 172. Some days I'd fly & the needle would work. Other days, it was centered & flagged. I finally discovered (sorta) what's causing it. Near the Master switch, there are two knobs for the interior lighting. One for the...
