  1. The airport is owned by the Port of Port Angeles. So as @dkkim73 suggested, you could fire off a politely worded "are you aware of the issues with your vendor" type letter. There are also email links on their website for the Port Commission members. You could also try submitting a bill for your time. You never know.
  2. Congratz on the plane!! Here in the PNW or are you going to have a nice long XC to get familiar with the plane?
  3. I a little gray on this now. But no, typically just the bottle goes in. I'm not sure he didn't think it needed to go in due to a time limit for inspection. And although I was shocked at the first quote, I couldn't remember when the last time it was checked. So probably not a bad thing to do. And if you're talking about "using" the shop and you have O2 questions... Does this mean you found a plane???? (Side note on the 3/2 meeting, I'll be back in NYC. So I'll probably hit you up when I get back for a quick overview. Think the Skyway will be open again by then??? )
  4. Probably not since she knows not only how to fly a plane, but your plane from the Right Seat. I think her Flight Training surpasses the Right Seat "familiarization" course. The AOPA Right Seater program my wife took many years ago got her familiar with flying a plane from the right seat and learned from a CFI. I was actually taking the IFR seminar at the same time and the winds were howling. At the end of the day, her CFI told me he would have signed her off to solo after the flying she did that day.
  5. Sure, I'd rather use FF with the full Airport Diagram. But if both your iPads happen to die and that's all you have, it is better than just the round barbed Airport symbol from the Nav map. And you can zoom in and out all you want, what I showed was just an example.
  6. It just gives you more detail if you zoom all the way in. Sort of like FF switching automatically to the Terminal Chart when you zoom in if there is on. Here's a screen grab from the GNC355 Trainer.
  7. Alvarez or did you really mean Avare?
  8. I thought you had to subscribe to Pilot separately, not as part of a DB subscription. I do know they give you a free Upgrade if you have the Basic version.
  9. I have an Aspen Pro Max w/ EA100 and a KFC200. Works great. And KI275??? Maybe KI256? And you may have to keep it or look at another Aspen 500 or some other AI for backup. I went with the GI275 as my backup. In VMC it sits on the Traffic screen and in IMC I leave it on the primary ADI page.
  10. Had this issue years ago. Have the probe tested to see if it needs to be replaced. If it is good, calibrate, or rebuild, whichever gauge is off. (Or both of them if needed.) My EDM 700 was actually the correct gauge. The old original gauge was the one that was failing.
  11. Gotta love it!!!! I moved from NYC to WA state recently. WA has a gas tax that was suppose to... well, not sure what it was supposed to do... but it was to help with the environment. AND!!! The fuel companies were going to pay for it!!! Do I even need to tell you about the extra cost we're all paying at the pump. Of Course the companies are going to absorb the cost of the tax! But luckily I live close to the ID boarder. Costco gas was $2.79ish the other day when I was in Coeur d'Alene.
  12. Airpark as in a limited number of plane? 10 or 20? My guess/hope is that you never would. Any news or print article I've ever seen regarding this (and it's been a while since I've seen one) were all metro areas. So a LOT more traffic, fuel exhaust and a LOT more busy bees trying to make a statement. I'm actually not opposed to the concern as it is a known issue. But the bigger question is which came first, the airport or the school. I'd be all over the City/Co to move the school since they put it in a dangerous place. But that's not going to happen any time soon.
  13. Kind of like people that are SCREAMING on their phones as they walk down the street... Then claim it was a "private" conversation.
  14. @N201MKTurbo @FlyingDude Okay, I'll have to dig up the schematic. For some reason I thought those gauges did have a ground, but makes more sense that it doesn't.
