I was really surprised last night how good the movie "Ford v Ferrari" is (based on true story). I was afraid the movie will be sort of one-dimensional repeat of something like Paul Newman's 1969 "Winning" (which I thing was a mediocre movie despite excellent cast) but this one is outstanding...

Anyone has seen "The Irishman" already? The latest Martin Scorsese Netflix movie about the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, the Teamsters, etc. There is a GA sequence in this movie, starts at about 2:34:XX, it features some twin engine airplane, could not readily recognize if it was Piper, Beech...

I am about to start flying in a rented Cirrus SR22 (2017) equipped with oxygen but it turns out I have either to rent the canulas (with flow meter assembly) from my flying club or purchase them for about $95 (per person) from Cirrus store. There is another possibility - having my own on-demand...

I am having hard time to find downloadable pdf version of Cirrus SR22 G6 POH, I found earlier versions but I specifically need the manual for the G6 generation. Any ideas?

I urge everyone to go and see the documentary movie "Apollo 11", I watched it yesterday in an IMAX theater, really full of very unique, never before seen shots and sequences. Awesome experience, running time 93 mins.

4 Polish tourists and the pilot perished on Aug 4 in Denali, Alaska after a pilot of a de Havilland Beaver flew into the side of the mountain in bad weather. The pilot who had 40 years experience flying in Alaska survived the crash and was able to make a phone call asking for help. The help...

5 closely related adults, some fairly young, perished in Cessna 340 crash today. The aircraft took off from Bartow, FL and flew into heavy fog soon after takeoff, their destination was Key West. The visibility in the area was reported at less than 1/4 m...

Could someone help with the FDC NOTAM for the SQL airport. For example one of the NOTAMs state: !FDC 7/4816 SQL IAP SAN CARLOS, San Carlos, CA. RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 30, AMDT 1B... LNAV MDA 960/HAT 955 ALL CATS, VISIBILITY CAT A 1 1/4 SM, CAT B 1 1/2 SM, CHANGE MISSED APPROACH CLIMB GRADIENT NOTE TO...

I purchased one of those solar-powered atomic watches (synced to radio signals from Fort Collins, Co), amazing technology in such small packaged and not terribly expensive. The signal transmitted by this antenna carries all the info about date and time including STD/DST switch. Buy while reading...

Just a friendly warning - don't use the Fast Connect product from White Sky which often is a free download. It advertises itself as a login/username/password protector and organizer but in fact is a nasty TROJAN. I got sucked into using it since it was recommended by Comcast, I started having...

Anyone proficient in using available hold "options" in G1000?. To help with typical enroute holds G1000 offers hold at waypoint and hold at current position. I noticed that when selecting hold at waypoint it always (or majority of time) picks a waypoint that is already miles (tens??) behind...

Mexican pilot was fired when his bosses found out he let two young celebrity girls (a singer and an actress) into his cockpit during a flight from Cancun to Mexico City. Girls made some photos (like the one below), posted on their Twitter accounts and with huge number of followers the news...

Change of velocity shifts center of gravity?? Quote from the book Fate is The Hunter: "Did you slow down when you first noticed the vibration? You did not because you had no fear of it. But if you had been the nervous type, if you slowed down, the center of gravity would have changed. That...

I found it an extremely interesting and educational video. People from Nvidia Corp. decided to recreate/model the Apollo 11 landing site using their latest Maxwell video card architecture and see if they could explain all the shadows/lights, etc. The idea was to see if this method could be...

I find this approach fascinating. This approach has a curved built in but it isn't a DME arc nor it is an RNP (where such curves are very common). So this one could be for us lowly GA pilots with a certified GPS equipment to fly. I wonder if there are more examples like that anywhere else...

Are lap children insured when they travel say in a typical 4-seater GA airplane? I am talking about situation when they travel as a 5-th passenger.

Do you still use old fashioned pen/paper for copying clearance delivery or use some scratchpad app on Ipad or some other tablet?

There is a discussion on another forum that relates to the recent crash of Navajo in Poland. Something like 10 skydivers + pilot perished. It is already known that one of the engines failed - possibly a wrong fuel was used. A quick question - if a pilot were to feather a wrong engine (the one...
