No need to over think it. I just go up for hr, come back drain, 5 min are so it takes for filter and other checks, put oil back in. Oil is going to be coating everything, in galley, cooler, lines etc

Anyone think it MAY have been a request of FAA or NTSB to reduce GA in cockpit use

I'm kinda laughing now...even with all the satellites and space junk the probability of a spacecraft, space station or another satellite hitting each other is extremely low. More likely to get hit by a meteor low. Everything is very carefully planned and monitored. Should be more worried of an enemy taking out GPS High altitude weather balloons are nothing new. Tethered are charted and untethered do broadcast sat position or APRS, RTTY. As well as ATC coordination. Like anything issues can happen like the windborne incident, which i belive is the only of its kind. Facts of that was there was a NOTAM which did just expire , they did loose contact just before, does seem it was under the regulation weight limit to have live position data from their own admission. I'm sure we will know more when finial comes out and that regulation changes.

Sure I guess you can say that if you don't understand the physics in the constellation, the orbit etc.

I did 15hrs...and found a crack in the case

I see taxi call as needed, ever try and sort out a head to head

If it contributes so much to safety, why yall canceling subscription and not happy to pay a little more...for safety and all

It's not an avionic. Nextrad is available from ads-b. Yes, same delays, same problems trying to treat it as active onboard weather radar. A loosing argument. Be honest everyone knows what people use internet access for. In short not flying. Now glass panels...many of them increase safety by keeping flight information in the view. EFB or other digital charts, increases safety by the ease of keeping them updated and reading when needed. Internet access in a small ga, in cockpit...recipe for disaster.

Still don't understand why people even need it. It's an obvious distraction causing problems and close calls because people eyes and minds are no longer outside. People reaction says a whole lot

Maybe I missed that...still 10 years. The amortization would need to make sense

I don't think the issue is really overpaying, but the longevity. Land lease is only 5 years. Regardless, if currently money is being thrown into the airport, owners could still sell, county/state can shut down etc. I would need longer on land lease and/or iron clad contract as not to loose shirt

Check for cracks in exhaust, pressure test it.

Unfortunately, people with the dignity and honor for handshake deals is becoming non existent.

Because some bureaucrat thought making up an arbitrary number of 1500 would make airlines safer. The rush to 1500, which has a massive hit on quality of instruction.

Until they do...developers and/or municipalities/county/states have a way of breaking people. 5 year land lease is the expiration and in my opinion not even remotely worth that risk. In the hopes that it is renewed. Amortize the cost and get break even, that's what the minimum land lease should be and what I would want in an agreement. On another note, planes do not NEED to be hangered as long as they are taken care of and flown. Yes, hull insurance is a little cheaper and much more convenient, especially there in winter, need vs great to have is different. A wise man once said don't put your balls in a vice just to know what it feels like
