    No more EAA written discount

    I took a couple of written exams yesterday (AGI and FIA) and was told by PSI/CATS that they no longer have a discount for EAA members. Has anyone else been told this recently? I got the same operator both times I called so it could just be that she was misinformed. I’ve emailed EAA requesting...

    Flying Adventure: Relief to Puerto Rico

    Over the past few weeks, we have had the opportunity to donate some flying to get supplies down to Puerto Rico. Along with us was a PC-12 and a C-421B. Cargo in total consisted of water, shelf-stable milk, water filters, chainsaws, tools, tarps, and medicine. This was the first time I've really...

    Would you use an audiobook?

    For those of you currently in training, I'm curious if any would be interested in an audiobook version of the various government publications (such as the Airplane Flying Handbook). I drive a lot and enjoy being able to listen to books along the way. Due to the lack of copyright on government...

    Fuel selector modification

    Not sure if this will be a field approval or require an STC, but I've been working on a new fuel selector annunciator. As a side bonus, it also keeps the emergency gear extension handle warm.

    Call for City

    What's the deal with so many ads on Controller having "Call for City" in place of their location? Don't these numb nuts realize that 5 seconds of searching with the plainly visible N number gets not only the city but the name and street address?

    Piper making Arrows again

    Maybe I missed this before, but it seems that Piper is manufacturing new Arrows. Last I looked at their website the Archer was their only new single trainer. http://www.piper.com/aircraft/trainer-class/arrow/

    Helicopter school moves in, local pilots get cranky

    My home airport became host to Upper Limit Aviation earlier this year. They brought in R22s, 44s, and a 206. I think right now they have 8 flying. The airport used to be fairly quiet. There were usually a few guys in the pattern on nice days, an occasional training flight from a nearby airport...

    I have a pair of brand-new Costa sunglasses, model Cayan, with tortoise frame and amber 580P lenses. I received these as a replacement for a damaged pair I sent in, and they do not fit my head. They come in the factory box and zipper case with all documentation. Asking $140 shipped, US only...

    Ice bridging: it happens

    Recently the NTSB has been pushing their documentation regarding ice bridging, specifically that it does not happen in turboprop aircraft, and that pilots should use deicing boots at the first trace of ice. That may work great in a modern turboprop aircraft, but its simply not true for (some?)...

    JPI customer service

    Does anyone have any experience with JPI's customer service, specifically sending in a unit for repair? I've got a less-than-year-old EDM 960 that has never been able to properly download the data to USB. I'm really leery to ground my airplane for as long as it takes these guys to 'fix' it. Not...

    This is an Aera 560 in excellent condition. It includes GPS, yoke mount with external GPS/XM antenna, and the car mount kit. The maps were recently updated and just expired yesterday. I still have a few free updates for it and can bring it back up to date before shipping if the buyer desires...
