I can think of a few aviation related topics that this nor any other aviation related board will never come to a consensus on, so that got me wondering how many could I name? The challenge to the rest of you is to name a few others. Best Headset - David Clark, Bose, Lightspeed, Sigtronics...

Yesterday as I took a walk across the ramp I was trying to show a friend how you could look up any aircraft registration and when I punched in N300EL it could not find it. Needless to say I was wrong in stating that you could look up any registration.

I've been using Plexus glass/plastic cleaner for years with great results but at almost $20 per 13oz spray can it's a bit on the expensive side. Has anyone had any positive experiences with other brands of glass/plastic cleaners for your aircraft? It needs to be non-staining and safe on...

I'm posting this poll because some have indicated a lack of interest in going to Sun 'n Fun due to the lack of military participants caused by the sequester. Personally I attend airshows like Sun 'n Fun because of all the new gadgets-bells-whistles that vendors bring, DIY workshops...

I've always used the term "Flight of Two" when departing with another aircraft for the purpose of formation flying. But today I over heard the ground controller advising two local Embry-Riddle students that the terminology is "Inflight with standard formation".:dunno: I can't find this in the...

Track Up or North Up? With the recent option addition to FF the debate of Track Up versus North Up has come up again. Which is your preference and why? This is merely a survey to see what the majority prefer and the reasons why.

I'm looking for a suction cup style iPad mount that combines great holding power with flexibility in mounting positions. Ram seems to have the best suction mount but they don't have a holder available for the iPad mini available until mid March. Link :mad: Deohako has a nice case and flex hose...

It was just reported that Kirby Chambliss was involved in a plane crash today. How many times has he been so lucky to walk away? News article for those of us that can read Spanish.

What is your favorite aviation related TV show? It can be a TV show from the past or present. It can be fictional or documentary style in nature, but it must be 1 hour or less. We already have a thread on favorite Aviation Movies so I don't want to include movies. Currently we have quite a few...

Any chance that POA will add more emoticons to better express ourselves through the use of these little icons? For examples I present the Scubaboard.com list of available emoticons. Which ironically includes a pilot emoticon. Would also love to see a "Like" and "Share" link for individual...

I know there's probably no way of repairing my DVD but I thought I would ask the experts. I have Sporty's Instrument course (2003) volume 3 "Instrument Approaches" has a glitch that makes it stop/skip about an hour into the video. I've contacted Sporty's but they have a newer version out that...

I know this is a loaded question but I'm directing my question to those of you that have experience with multiple flight planning and enroute apps and can give me your feedback on which one you think is best. I'm looking to buy an iPad mini or fullsize in the 64gb size range, but my confusion...

My daughter and I are going on a dive trip to Bonaire in July of next year and after watching the YouTube video below I decided that a trip around the island from the air would be a nice way to start our vacation. Is there anyone familiar enough with Bonaire to tell me if you can rent a Cessna...

If you own an iPhone 4S you can now use it to find out what planes are flying overhead. I read it in a online article and had to try it for myself and it really worked. All you have to do is ask Siri the following question "Ask Wolfram what planes are overhead" and voila, you will get a...

I recently downloaded the Voyager FreeFlight app by Seattle Avionics for the iPhone with my usual skepticism only to find that I was indeed impressed with it's functionality. It places the zulu time next to your iPhone time at the top of the screen and so far it seems to have many of the...

On final approach to the local uncontrolled airport a Cessna Citation calls ahead to the Unicom to ask if they could use the crew car. On their next call to the FBO they advise the FBO that they will be spending the night. Whatever happened to crew car etiquette? This FBO is located on an...

I'm curious to see how many other fellow pilots spend their income tax return on anything aviation related. For example: Flight time, lessons, hangar rental, aircraft parts, new plane, flying club dues, new headsets and such. I'm personally looking forward to getting my seaplane rating with...

We've all made mistakes at one time or another, but if we were lucky it was not caught on video and uploaded to the internet for the world to see. Here are a few found on the internet: Nothing worse than a news commentator that doesn't know what he's talking about.:rolleyes2: So you...
