Best sunglasses for flying? by
xyzzy
I miscalculated my health benefits. I expected to have to pay cash for
my medical and for some diagnostic tests that I needed to have to get
the medical, but my HMO ended up picking up all of it. So I have a
signficant surplus in my healthcare flexible spending account that I
must spend by the end...

All this Barron Thomas stuff by
xyzzy
You do have to give it to Thomas for coming on here and debating this
stuff.
Of course in some ways he is blind to how he is perceived, as is
everyone probably. His response, which is basically, "if you haven't
bought from me you have no standing to evaluate me" shows that he does
not see the...

GPS396 terrain warnings near airports by
xyzzy
When I fly with my GPS396, I usually don't put in a flight plan or any
direct-tos; I use the panel mounted KLN94 for that. I use the 396 just
for weather, terrain, and additional situational awareness. I had
never heard the spurious terrain warnings near airports that Dave
Butler reported in...

'99-'00 172R vs 172SP: R is good? or the weak little brother? by
XrayYankee
Just doing some looking at the difference, or perceived differences between the earlier (1998, 1999, 2000) 172Rs and the 172SPs. And besides the extra kW rating of the same size engine to produce the 180hp (on the SP) over the 160hp (on the R), I can't find much else different. (with the...

Higher Cost at Annual:newer ('97-'00) 172R/SP or 1970's 172? by
XrayYankee
Trying to judge which will be more expensive at annual. A newer 172R or S, or going very used, back to a 172M or N 1974-1979 era. Are there a lot more potential pitfalls and expenses that will continue to add up each year at annual for spending less up front to get an older 172? I assume parts...

the humidity be if they are filled with air. Given the environmental

Legal Radio Installation by

Can an AP/IA person legally install and sign off a VFR Nav/Comm radio

knowledge needed to do this, or is a 'certified radio shop' required

Legal to Rent Yak-52? by
W[_3_]
Is it legal for a sport or commercial pilot in the US to rent a Yak-52
aerobatic plane for unassisted flight cross country? I guess these can
only be certified currently for exhibition/airshow. Is that likely to
change given they are still manufactured in Romania?
