When you put a flight plan into the CNX-80, you end up with a "discontinuity" before the last fix. My habit is to delete the discontinuity as soon as I finish entering the route. Another instructor in my club teaches that you should NOT delete the discontinuity. I can't see any strong arguments...

I dedicated my last couple of flights (as well as a flight commercially) to really, and really enjoy the privilege of viewing the clouds from the top down and that's what my latest video has been focused on. Images and videos are from the past three weeks. Video doesn't do the magic of flight...

I got my instrument rating at an accelerated school in California. Overall, I think my instruction went well, and I was very happy with the results. I passed my checkride in a Piper Lance, and had no troubles. There was one part though that never quite made sense to me. My instructor told me to...

I was just reviewing the new Elmira One departure procedure. I think the government has let GPS go to their heads. Unless I'm reading it incorrectly, it specifies the initial heading out to TWO decimal places! The procedure is pretty trivial as it basically says to fly runway heading to 4000...

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". The email looked good, had "eBay" sort of format, but was a fraud; the buyer had completed the transaction. A week later, I won a bid on a...

I rent and fly 172s out of Gainesville, GA (KGVL). I used to fly out of 47A and had a number of safety pilots available there (too far to be convenient for them now), but this FBO is fairly new and doesn't have a list put together yet of pilots that can safety for me. Anyone know of a good place...
