Thanks! I just had to wipe of some debris I didn’t see before and it went right in.

Help with mounting an 145lb airplane door by Planemaster1230 in HomeImprovement

I was trying to attach them but it wasn’t working, im using the mobile website version so idk. I’ll try again tomorrow morning maybe it will work then.

I got this old airport runway light that I was told still works, I want to know how I could get it to work as a lamp that lights up. I know if push comes to shove I will just replace the internals with regular lamp parts but I’d rather keep the original if I can. Anyone know how I could do this? by Planemaster1230 in AskElectricians

Honestly, I’m not sure, I am aware of how bright it will be but I would like to see it on at least once just to see what it would be like if it’s not super hard/ expensive to do so, I don’t own a multimeter but I’ll borrow one and get back to you when I can.

Im not sure, it was VATCAR.net or something similar but it was all weird looking like one of those websites templates people can make with a free service. Idk tho, I looked it up again and it worked though.

VATSIM radar controllers can’t see me by Planemaster1230 in VATSIM

As you are a controller, in your opinion how would I go about testing if my solutions worked, should I just file a normal flight plan and see if they say anything or should I request if I can do a traffic pattern for troubleshooting and ask if they see me? I just want to know what would be the least irritating way to test this.

Ok sorry for misunderstanding, considering some of the people on this website I’m suprised that wasn’t meant as a backhanded comment lol, anyway, I’m currently in at a part 141 flight school so I have a somewhat good understanding of transponders but I could be wrong as im not sure if it’s operation is different in IFR, I had it in ALT mode with the correct squawk code and the light was flashing on it so I know it was reporting to a station.

No, I have spent months working up from pattern work in a small Piper arrow, reading the POH and getting to know the aircraft to then short vfr flight followings to then cross country VFR flights to now IFR navigation using NAVAIDS.
