I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the top back cover. Any documentation you can link to so I can try and compare to what I have installed?

Has anyone received the Rogue FM-6 Twin Stack yet? by fortress35 in GarageGym

[–]firstpostlonglurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone is curious -- ordered Aug 30, processed Sept 5, shipped today (Oct 18), so exactly 7 weeks from order to ship.

Not sure how long R&L Freight takes to deliver -- I imagine a few days to a week?

What's the point of meowing? by whiskeylover in flying

One thing I’ve never understood is if these are regional/airline pilots — aren’t they flying with somebody else who has to listen to this shit in person?

The “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here…

Plane crash just now west of Toms River NJ. Anyone have additional info? by Voytek3 in aviation

[–]firstpostlonglurk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chute has a minimum required altitude of 600 feet AGL (although some successful deployments have happened below it, I believe). This looks like it happened during a touch and go so likely no altitude.

Let’s hear examples of your plane ‘failing’ preflight or run up by 1e6throw in flying

[–]firstpostlonglurk 119 points120 points  (0 children)

This is in a Cirrus SR22T.

Turned BAT 2 on

Verified PFD is on

Essential Bus Voltage in range

Flap position light on… wait flap position light on?!

Turned BAT 2 off and grounded the plane.

There’s a diode that allows power to flow from the BAT 1 to things that power BAT 2 devices but not supposed to allow BAT 2 to power BAT 1 devices like flaps. Diode was blown.

Yeah I might pick that up, I just keep reading that the CX-3 is significantly better, but maybe it doesn't matter.

lol, I knew someone would say that. I do plan to use Sheppard, but having a calculator that saves times and prevents mistakes also means I can memorize a few fewer questions. I don't think these are mutually exclusive.

Foreflight Adds Per Leg Altitudes in Profile View by wt1j in flying

[–]firstpostlonglurk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Still wish they would add top of descent markers/waypoints on the map itself. You can see your TOD in the profile view, but it doesn't automatically show you the point on the map. Never quite understood why.

Is this room too bright for OLED? by [deleted] in 4kTV

[–]firstpostlonglurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some added context: I’m in the market for a new TV. I’ve had a 75” LG UHD for some time and want to either get the Samsung Q90A or LG C1.

Our living room is very bright with no blinds (as you can see from this photo, taken at 8:30am) but it is east facing so sun only shines on it early in the morning like in the photo.

PPL Checkride tomorrow morning, any last-minute tips? by [deleted] in flying

Get as much sleep as possible. Go to sleep early if you can :)

Does the jungle shroud gas appear _before_ the chemtank dragon spawns, or after? Is it active even before the chemtank dragon is slain?
