Hey all - Planning on going down to Manassas on Saturday for a tour of the new Potomac TRACON. Has anyone flown from Eastern PA/Northern NJ/NY area down to KHEF? I'm trying to determine what to expect as far as an IFR clearance. I'm trying to do some planning so I can figure out how long its...

I had bid on a GNS430 and lost. A day after, an email stating the winner did not complete the transaction and I was being offered a "second chance offering".

I am planning the upgrade of a Piper Navajo panel. I wouldn't mind spending the money for "cutting edge", but it is not clear what is avialable and the infrastructure to support it. Could anyone provide informed councel on EFIS or other certified options? My questions are along the following: 1. ...

OK. Why haven't I seen any discussion of the coolest thing I saw announced at Oshkosh? The eFlyBook from myairplane.com and ARINC. Given the current price/technology ratio, it seems like the perfect near-term solution to having electronic charts in a usable package. Did anyone play with one?...

With all of the new EFIS(Electronic flight Instrumentation Systems), has anyone seen one that stores the flight path for replay? It looks like all of the information is there, and this would be a tremendous help in instrument instructing, or even "pattern review". If downloaded to a simulator on a...

Is anyone using or know for a fact that you can use the Ch Products Flight Sim Yoke-USB with Elite sim? I am specifically asking if you have the throttle/prop/mixture functionality of that yoke while using Elite. I would like to fly the Mooney and Bonanza but I don't want to buy a separate...
