  4. go for basic med. so long as you meet the criteria and have not had a denial, you can get basic med in less than 2 hours (including watching the videos).
  5. monthly costs on a low-volume Verizon sim is 75 cents per month
  6. This Is The Way
  7. Spotted at my home airport KLDJ M20K N9547U
  8. I'm testing coflyt right now ($140/yr). I've spent some time in it, and I think its worthwhile looking at, but it has far fewer useful features than PlaneLogix or CrewChief (both of which are $500/yr)
  9. here's what that looks like Me: Airport in sight. we can cancel IFR at this time. ATC: You wanna cancel? Me: Yes, cancel IFR ATC: IFR cancellation received. squawk VFR. Frequency change approved. HAVE A NICE DAY
  10. to everyone still paying attention, I was joking about the contact approach!
  11. Honestly, I think the entire Mooney community needs to stop with various versions of the papa bear approach: "you gotta carry some extra speed on final in a mooney because the stall characteristics..." and replace with momma bear: "you gotta be on speed for weight and gusts"
  12. here's the info link https://www.crewchiefsystems.com/digital-products/for-pilots
  13. the way to get the guy behind you to slow down is to use the callsign "Citabria 8CS"
  14. I think that is a great idea, it would be very easy to hack though. it already exists for 121/135 traffic -- ACARS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACARS and so far as hacking is concerned, here's a $10 microcontroller that can communicate securely https://blog.espressif.com/esp32-s2-security-improvements-5e5453f98590
  15. maybe what he wanted was a contact approach >>> It's flown the same way as a visual approach, but you don't need the airport in sight. You need to remain clear of clouds, have 1 statute mile of flight visibility, and reasonably expect to continue to the airport in those conditions. Plus, the airport must have a published instrument approach.
  16. this is why we have both DA and DH on the plate.
  17. I hope this satisfies the doubters: https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/190204PARCRNPAROCSTransHarmonRecs.pdf
  18. also from TERPS 2-1-4. Sloping OCS: "d. In the case of a missed approach procedure, the climbing flight path starts at the height of the minimum descent altitude (MDA) or decision altitude (DA) minus height loss. "
  19. lets break it down > no pilot may > operate an aircraft ... below the authorized MDA > OR > continue an approach below the authorized DA/DH note it does NOT say "no pilot may operate an aircraft below the authorized ... DA/DH" it DOES say "no pilot may .... continue an approach below the authorized DA/DH". a GO AROUND is not continuing an approach
  20. the SIM cards used in these devices have very low utilization caps, which is why the monthly is so cheap. you can get something like a GL-net Spitz for internet-over-cellar in your hangar, using Google Fi (which is very cheap), and then use a home automation plug to switch your devices on remotely. note: "Operating Temperature -20~40°C (-4~104°F)" https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-x750/
  21. its not an argument about legality, it was about leaving off the paragraph leading up to the three bullets, which are crucial to understanding.
  22. In order to reset your auto pilot?
  23. when I pulled the G3X breaker, the G5 showed the AP FD YD as flagged, and I could not engage them. Nor did the AP mode controller work. I agree I should not have the re-cycle the AP CB to make it all work again
  24. incorrect. here's the beginning of the regulation: 91.175(c) Operation below DA/DH or MDA. Except as provided in § 91.176 of this chapter, where a DA/DH or MDA is applicable, no pilot may operate an aircraft, except a military aircraft of the United States, below the authorized MDA or continue an approach below the authorized DA/DH unless - imagine a 200,000# aircraft on final at 170 knots and descending at 1500FPM. It reaches 200' and is still in the soup, so the pilot decides to go around, shoves the throttles forward and pressed the TOGA button. you bet that plane is dipping below DA before the engines can arrest the descent and begin a climb. this is perfectly legal
  25. Everything has now been sold
