    If you have an approved onboard "3rd party" device that picks up adsb traffic, then apple OR with premium subscription will show it as well as normal OR traffic.

    One thing the android version does NOT have is the ability to show adsb paints. It has been promised as "coming" for a very very long time.

    My answer would be YES but you should check it out yourself. Perhaps OR could make a LITE apple version based on the android model. With a bit of luck it maybe even cheaper. I do think OR is moving towards more commercial operators, which is really where the money is I guess... My opinion of avplan is that it is also fairly technical and complex......only from the seminars I have attended......

    What I see is "NO SEND".

    They do. It's called the android version...... Come on over to the "dark side" Bruce...?

    Putting 95/98 bowsers at airports would improve emissions greatly. Many aircraft can use ulp but it's not convenient. I was investigating putting a ulp bowser in at my local airport. I ended up getting a "stern" email from Air BP which has the resident avgas bowser. Most of the email was deceiving, if not outright wrong. Basically they were protecting their turf. It dawned on me that there are significant and entrenched "powers" very keen on maintaining the lucrative status quo.

    Nah, it's easy and doesn't take much heat. Grip the tube. Put some "weight" on it and warm the tube. Heat will run down the tube and free it up.... Make sure it is spotlessly clean on re-assembly. ...

    Either "smoke and mirrors" pretending we don't know where it went..... Or.....The JORN radar is useless and can't see jack sh!t.....

    If I wanted just 2 people for RPL with CTA endorsement, what would be the best?

    From a student and training facility providers perspective, the Foxbat will be easier if time and money are critical. A Jabiru will probably make a better pilot but at the expense of time and hours flown. A Foxbats nosewheel can be "held off" at not much more than walking pace, taking off and landing. Foxbat "yokes" maybe seen as more GA ..... Wheelbarrow landings are never kind to ANY aircraft.....

    Ah, I see "other"...... can't help sorry... https://ozrunways.tenderapp.com/kb/frequently-asked-questions/storage-requirements-ozrunways-ios Second, retaining old maps and charts will greatly increase storage requirements. Once you have completed a map update (that is after the changeover date), head to OzRunways>Settings>Cache Management>Clear Old Files>Delete Files. You can also the use the 'Clear Tile Cache' button under the Cache Management menu to delete any tiles held in memory.

    Look at what maps you have downloaded and what maps you actually need. Delete those you don't need. On apple devices I think you have to manually delete redundant maps after updates. Is that correct?

    Yes, you really need a pitch gauge and verniers (digital will give imperial or metric readout) First 100% confirm pitch and dimensions of the bolt/screw and go from there.... Often the actual OD of a thread is slightly smaller than the nominal size....

    To me the "brand" of anything doesn't mean much these days. Few actually manufacture themselves. The best you can ask for is a robust quality control system. The chinese have taken great pleasure in buying brands and replacing top quality products with cheap and nasty replacements (obviously maintaining the quality product pricing). Or they lower the price to put pressure on competitors.....with the intention of driving them out of business. After a few of years the public work it out......sometimes.... Just because these part have a "number" it doesn't mean jack ..... If airliner parts can be faked, a few nut plates are nothing.... https://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/25/us/counterfeit-airliner-parts-are-said-to-be-often-used.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unapproved_aircraft_part Boeing has stated that mechanical parts, electronic parts and materials have been counterfeited. Physical parts include bolts, nuts, and rivets. Electronic parts include resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits. Materials include composite chemicals, steel, and titanium.[8] In 1996 unapproved parts were found to originate from sources such as counterfeiters, thieves, "strip and dip" operations which hide defects with metal plating, and from production overruns.[7]

    Your account still exists with ozrunways. You will need to download the app again and log in. You WILL need to download all maps again I think...... You have probably lost all "user" saved waypoints.
  19. Downunder
    Yeah, I'm with you on that. Not the first time a "part picker" in some warehouse has miss matched similar parts.....

    I see selling off as all part of the plan. Knowing it will all come unstuck eventually, "Plan C" is GO! People need to think more of "how" you would plan out a VET fee scam rather than a normal business. Did someone else use the term "pump and dump"? Is the latter now in effect?

    It's called "normalisation of deviance". Social normalization of deviance means that people within the organization become so much accustomed to a deviant behavior that they don't consider it as deviant, despite the fact that they far exceed their own rules for the elementary safety". People grow more accustomed to the deviant behavior the more it occurs .

    This is how it should have gone....

    I wonder if they deployed the reverse thrusters? I looks like they are fitted. I flew Alliance when they had them fitted to their F100's for just such an occasion. They tested them a few times, but generally didn't use them (or need them) as they burnt more fuel.

    Given recent events you would imagine intense US scrutiny of anything airborne in Iran with a multitude of surveillance assets. Anything airborne in Iran would be monitored, so I think an accurate assessment will be forthcoming.

    A hangar on private property is very different to one at an airport. A hangar at an airport can generally be on-sold so has value in it's own right and can be more readily sublet to aircraft owners.... but there maybe a lease and other ongoing costs involved. Each have their own merits and disadvantages.....
