  1. Thanks for sharing, and glad you are safe... is your plane equipped with any anti-icing measures? Thank you Mohamed
  2. I like @krotopates analysis above. It’s more towards complacency and lack of planning rather than lack of technology. Thank you Mohamed
  3. This is sad... I’m just wondering how CFIT still happening with all of the GPS and warnings systems available. Thank you Mohamed
  4. There is a new models that is battery operated and lighter to hold. I think it cost about $1500, but I’m not sure if it will work at higher altitudes Thank you Mohamed
  5. Are you asking about portable oxygen concentrator or portable oxygen tanks? What I know about the portable oxygen concentrator is that it is working on ground level quite well. I’m not sure if it is going to be effective when the surrounding atmosphere is lacking oxygen. Thank you Mohamed
  6. Yesterday I canceled my flight as surface temperature was 2c dew m1c and humidity was 80%. I had icing concerns for planed 2500’ AGL (3500’ MSL) flying altitude. Thank you Mohamed
  7. As a matter of fact, I keep 10” Android tablet with Avare as a backup in my flights. Thank you Mohamed
  8. You can buy a used one from eBay. I would do that. If you are not FF fan, you can try avare for Android. It’s free and android tablet costs much less. Thank you Mohamed
  9. You should see a circle with up and down arrows inside when the scroll is ready to be used. Thank you Mohamed
  10. Hi Fred, You can delete the glasses object as well. For the knobs, I suggest positioning your mouse over it and use your mouse scroll. Much easier this way. Thank you Mohamed
  11. Hi Fred I have close configuration to yours, even purchased the m20j few days ago, but I think your problem could be in the graphics card. I use GTX960 2GB RAM and works fine. Xplane 11 is graphic intensive and not much cpu dependent. I suggest you upgrade your graphics card. You can try a used one from eBay. Details are not important for your IFR training as you can select low IFR setting and details won’t show anyway. Thank you Mohamed
  12. I agree, windy is great. I have been using it for over a year now and it’s prediction model specially for the cloud base is quite realistic. Thank you Mohamed
  13. This is one of the very important and under covered issues with FAA regulations. The Oxygen requirement rules from the FAA only applies to (1) HEALTHY (2) ADULTS. When going up, you are not sure what is the proper altitude that your kids lungs surface area is going to compensate for lake of oxygen. Adding the fact that they are sleeping and their respiratory center already inhibited and under control of autonomous nervous system only. If those were my kids or grandchildren I would (1) carry oxygen, (2) monitor oxygen saturation using reliable finger oximeter every 10-15 minutes, and (3) apply oxygen mask if O2 saturation dropped below 93% (very conservative). You don’t want to expose those young developing brains to hypoxia. Another aspect missed in the FAA regulations is the rules applies to adults with lung diseases as COPD, pneumonia or even pleural effusion. I would follow the same rules above. Please note that those are my rules that I feel comfortable applying them. Thank you Mohamed
  14. Hi, can someone please share a link to buy this book? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
