No idea about the contract. But as an AOPA member, I honestly hope they haven’t agreed to continue paying the former CEO a full salary while they hire a new CEO and pay that person a full salary too. That’s not great stewardship of membership dues.

Pretty good interview, but they’re explicitly avoiding any real discussion of the events surrounding the CEO transition. I guess this was planned a while ago and it’s just covering the standard talking points about AOPA.

Yeah, maybe so. I’ll get my popcorn and tune in anyway

Pleasance will be on SocialFlight live later today: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/8152462455135160156 Could be interesting

I have the same aircraft as OP - the indicator is just a little vertical gauge that shows the position (photo below). It’s not part of my normal scan, and I never really look at it unless I’m adjusting the cowl flaps. The flaps are infinitely adjustable with a little switch that controls the electric motor.

Are you seeing this on the indicator, or via some other means? I’ve never noticed mine move from fully closed unless I move the lever, but I’ve never really paid much attention to it.

Rosen visors and whatever tint came with the windows I also have a full set of Sun-Foil shades that go in the windows if I'll have to park in the sun for any significant length of time. https://sunfoil.com/m9

Mine seems to be stuck on 12 Feb also

Anything in the logs about it? This looks pretty custom

I’m a member of both AOPA and EAA and I plan to continue. These membership fees are such a tiny drop in the bucket compared to other expenses in aviation, and both organizations do some meaningful and important things. I pay for PPS from AOPA and I don’t think there’s a real competitor to that program. I volunteer for Young Eagles flights with EAA. None of that is to say that we shouldn’t hold these organizations to account for their behavior. The nonsense at AOPA this past month is messy and draws attention away from promoting and defending aviation interests. Seems like a housecleaning is in order.

Yeah. I keep threatening to do a trip to Canada or a hop over to Grand Cayman, or even one of those Caribbean Flying Adventures. https://www.caribbeanflyingadventures.com/ I also toy with the idea of getting a turbo and flying above 18k from time to time. It’s not like it would be terribly hard to go get an FAA medical for a special trip once in a while, but not having one might be an excuse not to do it Anyway, y’all have just about convinced me - between this thread and DMs.

Well, I flew the Piper last weekend and I didn’t turn into a pumpkin or anything. Based on feedback from this thread, I caught up with Parker directly before I went to the airport and he confirmed that my insurance policies wouldn’t present any problems. I now have my FAA medical current again.. so that was fun while it lasted

Looks great! Did you do the work yourself?
