Hi Arisha22Sn. I am one of the moderators here. While we follow a very loose policy on this site, if you don't respond further in 24 hours, I will delete this post of yours which appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the subject.

So it drags on and on in a regulatory morass. Note how the airlines defend themselves with “we follow all the regulations” I wonder how much it would cost these days to just take fresh air from the outside and compress it separately for use in the cabin? I suppose the compressor could still end...

Here is a link to a longer talk I gave about the details of what happened in the airport and how it was handled. My part of the talk starts at 22:50. https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Article/168077-2014-12-15-arizona-breakfast-club-december-6-2014-dr-peter-steinmetz.htm

There is an old gravel strip called Turnbox which is west of the Estrella Sailport at 33.00.870N, 112.24.193W. It was apparently put up by people from the Turf Soaring group years ago. It was intended as possible spot for out-landings between Gila Bend and Estrella Sailport. I was out flying...

Way too many of these things and they likely are protecting against an extremely rare to nonexistent threat. But I guess they help the politicians feel irreplaceable and important. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/flying-a-plane-is-fun-until-you-enter-restricted-airspace-137a733f

Gliders are often flying around with an electrical system and battery or any avionics. That was very close. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6272364lqgo

More weight to prevent an attack that just doesn’t work anymore. Furthermore the bigger risk now appears to be the reverse - suicidal pilots using these barriers to crash planes. But that’s one size fits all government regulation for you...

I use a Bose A30 and have no problems other than a need to make sure the cuff around the ear covers the hearing aid on top of my ear. Apparently physical comfort of the combination is the primary concern and potential limitation. See...

I will be flying to Coolidge next Saturday about 8 AM in my S35. It will stay there some hours for some repairs and checks. There is no official fly-in breakfast there that weekend, but if any other members wanted to fly over and meet me there, we can find a ride into Florence or Coolidge for...

Summary: A gear collapse of a V35B Bonanza at Deer Valley Airport was caused by a slip of the pilot confusing the gear and flap levers. There was no danger of nor any injuries. The incident caused complete economic loss of the aircraft. Introduction: This incident has been of some interest to...

From the PilotSpin forum on Oct 5, 2021: Since a number of posters seem to be interested in my 2014 protest against the TSA at the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport, I will post a few responses and links here. (I tend to think of it as old news). Firstly, let's clear up some facts. This was a...

Here is a worksheet now by Schiff on how to test and measure this. https://www.captainschiff.com/_files/ugd/4e0587_5fd76eb67b3d4376a5fb5be2790d038f.pdf I will be measuring this tomorrow for my Bonanza.

I can personally attest to the GCR-30P being a nice engine monitor. I just had one installed in my Cardinal. It did require replacing the fuel senders as my old floats could not be zeroed. Don't you just need a P-4 though for 4 cylinders? I see you went the µAvionix route rather than Garmin...

Good grief. More over-generalization after an accident. How about just requiring the military to remove these dangerous routes near crowded airspace? Instead Cruz wants all GA aircraft to have to have ADS-B In. But neither of the aircraft involved in the DC collision were GA aircraft...

Hurray. It looks like this will cover Cardinals.

Interesting bit on the first hijacking. Though I think they get the cost per passenger wrong by quite a few orders of magnitude. And omit the important fact that hijackings in the US had been declining for several years prior to the implementation of mandatory metal detectors...

Have had a number of troubles with hot starts on the S35 here in AZ. This page from CSO Beech is quite good. Especially the part about slowly advancing the throttle during starting to hit the right fuel-air ratio seems to work.
