    Will Garmin up their game to 12” displays?

    I guess it depends on what you consider to be "more real estate". My definition is that I can put more information on the screen. If all that's happening is magnifying what's on a 10" display so that it takes up 12" instead (which is what happens if the resolution remains the same), then to...

    Headset Evaluation

    YMMV. I don't have that problem. The mic sits in front of my lips just like any other headset. I do use a mic muff (leather bag that slides over the mic, with a small hole in it). Does a reasonable job of filtering out ambient noise. But I started using that with my old DCs and just carried...

    Good grief. What a mess!

    Reasonably Priced Multi-Engine Training around Houston?

    My recommendation for Jeff Kling still holds.

    Headset Evaluation

    YMMV, but I agree with both of these. I fly in the south where it's hot and have used the QT Halos for ~10 years with great satisfaction. There are multiple eartip options that all have their pros/cons, and some folks don't find any of them to be acceptable. In my case I'd use any of the...

    Bad aviation journalism thread

    That was my thought as I was reading it.

    Night currency

    Okay, I guess that's nifty. But if the OP is staring at that info while flying the pattern instead of...well, flying the pattern, then perhaps that's part of his problem. Like you, I just point my airplane where it needs to be pointed so that it goes where I want it to go. If I'm 20 deg...

    Night currency

    What do you have that's constantly measuring your winds?? What about winds aloft bothers you during night flight that doesn't apply during daytime flying?

    Deltahawk update from S&F looks good!

    Yes, there is some of that. But I really don't think you could relax the regulations enough to lower that financial barrier to new entries to the market, without seeing impacts to safety that would cause those new entries to quickly exit the market due to liabilities incurred via wrongful death...

    Deltahawk update from S&F looks good!

    No, it isn't. There are other places in the world with different economies and laws and there are jillions of new cars to choose from in those places. There is no place in the world that has a market where "affordable" new planes are available, because there isn't the demand to create that...

    Deltahawk update from S&F looks good!

    Too many of the planes that were affordable to the upper middle class and professionals from 1950-1985 are still available, and still priced where they are affordable to upper middle class and professionals. If that available fleet of aircraft wasn't meeting demand, they'd be selling for much...

    Deltahawk update from S&F looks good!

    Don't be ageist. 80 year-olds can still do quality control!

    We need a class action suit against the POA Pilots of America

    I got ChatGPT to write a bot that uses ChatGPT to write all my posts for me. Works well enough that I don't even visit PoA anymore.

    Cherokee floor vents

    My '73 PA28-180 has overhead vents (fed by a vent in the vertical stabilizer) and floor vents (fed by vents in the wings). On the ground I use a Kool Scoop in the side window. In terms of air movement, those have served me well. The only thing I've ever wished for is cooler air on hot days--I...

    New Facebook Group for IFly GPS's and new EFB Users

    Not really sure why a new FB group is needed. Adventure Pilot already runs an iFlyEFB Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/adventurepilot/ The iFly message forum transitioned from an older, no-longer-supported platform to Xenforo (same forum software as PoA) almost exactly one year...

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Yes, in part. This is the most egregious problem. Yes! The point is that the depicted blind spots are ridiculous, especially for the top plane. At least the pilot is on the correct side of the wing for the lower plane and it's just the angles of the blind spot shadow that are wrong. Had the...

    In a first for POA, every answer above is correct!
