    Stratus 3 warning

    While the Stratus 3 claims to be compatible with multiple tablet applications other than Foreflight. An important issue Appareo does not make clear is; It can not communicate with other apps AND Foreflight at the same time. So if you are using FlyQ and your co-pilot, or even a passenger in the...

    Battery/electrical problem...

    For what ever reason, your charging system is not working; alternator/voltage regulator. Once you started the engine the alternator should be supporting your entire electrical load, plus recharging the battery. If it is not then then battery is trying to support the entire load. Consider this...

    Biggest learning / surprise from IFR checkride?

    My DPE expected me to use the GPS(430W) on all approaches right up until I was legally required to use the ground based nav aids. And even then to continue to monitor the GPS for situational awareness.

    Registration Problems forum

    NO! I have one system that has cookies set and auto logs me in. If I ever log out I'm done. I'm trying to resolve this problem before something happens to this system or the cookie expires.

    Registration Problems forum

    I've lost my password. I have requested resetting it about a dozen times and have never received a reply. It is not in my spam/junk filter either.

    Problem Reporting - How to submit a problem report to PoA

    I have forgotten my password. I have requested a reset. I get the message that a password change email has been sent. But I never receive the message. I can access POA from one computer that automatically logs me in. But even there I can not change my password. I have checked my Junk/spam...

    Pilot physical vs regular physical

    Get the real physical first. Then look for a AMA that is a pilot, even if they have not flown in 30 years. In my experience a AMA/pilot is looking for a reason to pass you. A AMA/non-pilot is looking for a reason to fail you.

    iPad wifi vs cellular

    Get a T-Mobile iPad. You get 200Mb/month free. Turn cell data off for most apps. I find it is enough for email and a few quick web searches. Or to download a plate or two I forgot.

    Electrical Gremlin at home?

    Which is why "phases" is in quotes. It's wrong but get's the point across. Yes the term split-phase is more accurate. The point is to check the neutral.

    Electrical Gremlin at home?

    If you find some outlets have high voltage (+130)) and others low (100) you probably have a floating neutral. That would cause an imbalance between the two "phases" (Also the range and dryer will read correctly at 240). Have the neutral at the box checked.

    CFI Flight Test

    Joe is a good guy. He will not be out to try to fail you. If you know your stuff you should do fine. I have not had a check-ride with him, yet(I'm working on my IFR). However I have flown with him as as glider instructor. (in a strange twist he was my tow pilot when I took my glider check...

    Grandma vs Mercedes

    I believe it is staged. Your car has to be moving for the airbag to to off.

    Fly with master switch off to save money?

    Check the electrical schematic in your POH. In the Skylane, the Clock/Hobbs are on a fused circuit that by-passes the Master switch. :)

    AirPrint printing from Foreflight

    AirPrint Activator has not worked for me for a while not. I think since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I used FingerPrint for a while but after a recent update of ForeFlight I started to have the same problem as you, Oversized 1/4 page on 8x11. After going around with both FingerPrint (who...
