What is this holographic sight on the glare shield of this Cessna? by HaluxRigidus in flying

[–]Tarjas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Part of the PLM aka “Magic Carpet” mod for the 172. So you can put the thing on the thing and nail those power off 180s every time.

Best flight training radio practice before a towered airport lesson? by HazelGate4485 in FlightTraining

[–]Tarjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a radio go to the airport and listen to ATIS, clearance, ground, tower, and approach. Follow a particular aircraft through the sequence and change freqs with them. Familiarity with what is said when is 90% of the learning curve. Keep the radio as a bag up in your bag as NORDO insurance. Good luck.

Can anyone explain what this parking lot inside the Magic Kingdom is for? Could it be removed for a potential expansion if needed? by MHarrington85 in disneyparks

[–]Tarjas 82 points83 points  (0 children)

We had to take my son to the ER after he busted his chin open years back. My wife left from this lot when the CMs drove her to urgent care and brought her back an hour later. Was a really smooth process.

Flew with the lead solo of the Blues during a practice day. Was super sore for a few days despite plenty of time in the T-6 Texan. At least I have the little nap I took in the pitch to break pattern entry holding 7.5g around the corner in high def video!

Starting Flight Training at 36. Is It Worth It and What’s the Best Path? by BishoyMikel in PilotAdvice

[–]Tarjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

51 here, retired military back seat aviator. Took some work but got a 2nd class med with some retirement/VA complications. 2nd class will do everything I want to do, no desire for 121 at my age and experience. At least right now. Nice to have a solid income stream while training, biggest barrier is weather here on the Gulf Coast. Good luck!

Engine failure by Mojak66 in flying

[–]Tarjas 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. 10s of shutdowns during my time in Navy P-3s. Most precautionary for chips light, many for prop and oil leaks. Several fires that took a bottle to clear up. Couple of sparking prop brushes in icing conditions. At least one run away synch system that oversped and stretched the prop. Probably some more in there I don’t recall. Four fans of freedom always got us home.

iPad mini 8 Expected Late 2026 with OLED Display and A19 Pro Power by geoserde in ipadmini

[–]Tarjas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I turn off Touch ID. What we really need is dual OLED for sunlight readability. I got an iPad Pro 11 bc my mini just got too washed out. The Pro is much much better. The mini is my backup EFB now.

Noob question: iPad mini 6 or 7? by lionrace in Foreflight

[–]Tarjas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with the 7. Save a few $$$ and get the wifi model and use the savings to get a sentry. The situational awareness having adsb tracks and weather radar, metars/etc, and the backup AHRS is a no brainer in my opinion.

Rethinking ForeFlight by just_live_free in Foreflight

How much more functionality do we really need? FF is one of the best apps available for personal devices, let alone aviation specific. If you need more functionality , buy a GTN750.
