Oh, man, now we’re getting into Philadelphia Lawyering……. MTV

Yep, there are some really dumb policies in place right now. MTV

Damn, and on a Dodge….the shame! There oughta be a law! And Army to boot……ouch! MTV

We've done a few formation flights since ADS-B, and I specifically inquired of ATC if this procedure is still required. Yep. It was interesting to...

When Aviat changed the indexing of the props on Huskys, I enquired of the factory why they did so. The response was that Lycoming told them that the...

The actual weight on certified scales of the Rossi Fernandez skis on my last Husky was 78 pounds. These were certified skis. MTV

To re-index one of these props, you have to move the indexing bushing. It’s possible to simply remove two bushings and swap them, but it’s possible...

Wow! Sarah has always done a great job with this, but that is just waaaaay spectacular! MTV

The Rossi Fernandez skis have been approved on at least Husky and Super Cub aircraft in EASA countries for decades. There are now STCs for them in...

Yep, ALL early Huskys came with prop indexed at 10/4. Every 170/172/175 with Avcon conversion I’ve seen has same indexing. That is standard...

Update... The Float Plane Ground School course is a big hit...75 of the 100 spots are already filled up! If you are considering obtaining your...

While it is a truism that we enjoy the smell of jet fuel in the morning, we will have a distinct lack of jets at the 2022 GMAG. We WILL have a...

Thanks to those who have contacted us with regard to planning for the 2022 New Holstein Supercub Flyin event. We do not yet have the financial...

We are just one week away from the 2022 Great MN Aviation Gathering, and we hope some of you can make it. Camping available and encouraged under the...

One of the really annoying things that Aviat did some years ago was to re-index the engines on Huskys from 10/4 to 12/6. Try hand propping one of...

I wouldn't worry TOO much about loss of USB-A functionality. USB-C has been around a long time, and some time back, all the chatter was that USB-A...

In formation flight, lead is expected to squawk, others in formation squawk standby. That is SOP, and FAA approved. Break formation, all ponders...

After Taylorcraft Boy bailed out for click bait, and was revoked, the FAA really couldn't pass on this one.....and well deserved. MTV

The 175 tanks will work fine, just make certain you take advantage of most of the fuel. Should be fairly easy. MTV

You do NOT want to just install stock 175 wings in a 170. Nine gallons of unusable fuel. Hopefully, the plan is to plug the stock 175 fuel bung...

On the contrary, Laws with no discretion are in fact tyranny. As noted earlier, laws need to be as clear and understandable as possible. But, then,...

For many years, I flew low level surveys, most of which took place over “sparsely populated” country. Some of surveys meant seven hours a day at 100...

Have you ever been cited for driving 57 mph in a 55 zone? The law is clear there…..speed limit is a line. Yet small infractions are rarely...

I think your tin foil hat got a little too snug there…… So, how would you define a “congested area of a city, town or settlement or open air...

Trying to find the reference to Williams, but it's an old case, so apparently not in digital form. That said, here is another similar case, with the...

Frequent, Actually that definition from 1.1 is pretty clear, I think. It doesn’t say it has to be on a chart. Customarily used, and infrastructure...

Bob, No, there is a very specific letter from FAA legal on this. It clearly states that operations at established airports and within the traffic...

Alaska rates will always be higher for this type aircraft. True off airport ops are very common in AK, and not nearly as common in lower 48 Ops. ...
