I has seen several Garmin Waas antennae intermittently causing complete GPS lockup’s, all GPS’s including iPads. Turn off one Garmin radio at time and see if it clears up. Have had it happen months apart. Had a 650/530/IPad combo Complete GPS failure and shutting down the 650 would get the 530...

Have a customer whose dad had a VOR antennae slip into his eye socket, behind the eyeball, and cut his optic nerve. Says his eye looked normal, but had no sight. When cleaning under a plane with antennae I try and be very vigalent and keep one hand lightly on the end. Should be more carefull and...

I'll add some more if you care to hear it. The ATS rivet gun kit should work OK. Practice, find a setting on the regulator for #3 and #4 rivets and mark it. That will be your starting setting. Tungsten bucking bars are great, but expensive. I have two that are my go to bars and 25 others that...

Cocky Interesting. Your posts on "DEATH GRIP" on the yoke tell a lot. You really do not want advise, just easy answers that fit what you want to hear. You are like a teenager with no life experience who knows it all and buys a Corvette, but should drive the old clunker awhile to learn...

Hocky, I will go slightly of topic and ask a question. What is your experience? The questions asked and reasons given show a lack of aviation experience. When going to Oshkosh NO ONE cares what you fly. If you have a great looking plane and come across as having no knowledge of the plane or...

Polaris You absolutely did the correct thing and had reason to be concerned. Going low on the ILS when flying visually proved to you that illusions are real and must be taken seriously when landing at night. I would never do a straight in approach, to an unfamiliar field, at night without...

This seems to be a never ending complaint, especially from low time pilots and students. The main thing here is to keep your head outside, keep situationaly aware, communicate and make smart decisions. All these were done, except with an attitude. The jet never entered the runway without...

DhitIt or Ed? The overhead seems to be a large problem for GA pilots to become familiar with. I grew up next to an airforce base and would watch Airguard F-100'S and later F-4's come in with overhead breaks as a kid. It was obvious then, when 8 years old, why they used the break and is a...

Dan and others, The incident should have been used as an important learning tool instead of the rant that was surely voiced in the cockpit as on this board. A pilots job is to be vigilant for traffic and extra vigilant near the airport. Things like this happen all the time. The more...
