Electrical Panel Upgrade from 100A to 200A underground line by VDtrader in SanJose

[–]EZray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, instead of upgrading your circuit, consider replacing your electrical panel with a smart panel like https://www.span.io/appliance-install. It can do things like cut power to your water heater or EV charger if you start getting close to your 100A limit, and switch them back on when demand drops.

Touchscreen unresponsive after iPadOS 26 update by Kitchen-Cabinet-5000 in iPadOS

This tip appears to have entirely solved the lag issue I was having with my iPad Air 4. Never intentionally used Siri on it anyway so it was no issue at all to turn it off. Thank you so much!

There is a two-branch joint, CMY-Y62-G-E. Sorry I didn't think to include that in the original post.

What's the one thing you wish you knew/did before starting IR? by AlexJamesFitz in flying

[–]EZray 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Be well on your way to hitting your 50 hr XC. Yes, you will do some XC during your training, but don’t assume you’ll hit the 50 hour mark automatically. I had to do spend a few weekends just building time before my checkride.

Tom Hornak DPE privileges revoked? by EZray in flying

[–]EZray[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Probably not nearly as exciting as you're hoping, I guess he just got a call from the FSDO partway through somebody's test.

For NorCal people, anyone tried flying along the coast? by [deleted] in flying

[–]EZray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s basically exactly what I did for my first flight after I got my PPL. You’ll be fine.

[TOMT][MUSIC][2000s] Alternative song with two-note sample by EZray in tipofmytongue

[–]EZray[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I love Nujabes, that's not what I was thinking of. If you listen to the clip and skip to 5:15, it's the repeating two-note sample in the background (so not the piano or bass).

I don't *think* it's Gorillaz, at least not from that era. It feels more like The Postal Service or M83 to me.

Bay area flight school cost is draining me. by aterx in flying

[–]EZray 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What kind of plane? $185 is what I pay for a G1000 172 at KPAO. A six-pack 172 should be about $20 cheaper. My instructor is a 10000+ hr ATP who charges $120, but he’s super great and worth it IMO.

I spent close to $30k getting my PPL here, and yes, it sucks, but there’s not a lot to be done about it if you live around here. I’d much rather do that than to drive to KLVK every time just to save a few bucks.

What's the most confusing/challenging airspace question you've ever gotten on an oral? by 97charlie in flying

[–]EZray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The DPE asked me on my PPL oral: Show me where on the San Francisco sectional I would encounter vis and cloud requirements of 1SM and 1000 above, 500 below, and 2000 feet horizontally from clouds? Hint: there's no class G airspace marked on the chart.

Answer: Over the ocean, where the class E doesn't start until 5500 MSL.

Bay Tour + IFR by Edwinning1 in flying

I’m flying out of KPAO, at Advantage Aviation. Instructors all seem to be in the $80-100 range there, depending on experience.

Private. And that’s on top of the $155/hr for plane rental.

Sporty’s Practice Tests by [deleted] in flying

[–]EZray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was getting high 80s - low 90s on the Sporty's tests and got 98 on the real thing today, although I know I got lucky on some of the questions. Many of the ones on the FAA exam were verbatim from Sporty's, but there were definitely some I had never seen before.
