My Terra radio installation instruction says "Porper attachment of any
antenna to the aircraft surface is of primary importance. Carefull
clean all paint and corrosion off the mounting surface and apply an
anti-corrosion treatment."

Question 1, does "clean all paint" mean strip all paint to bare
aluminum?

Question 2, what type of "anti-corrosion treatment" should I use?

Thanks in advance,

Air Carriers and Biz-jets Target GA Recreational Fliers

The airline industry is terrified. They've got more aircraft than
they know what to do with, and even more on order. Passengers are
unhappy with the airline travel experience, and their numbers threaten
to dwindle as a result. High revenue travelers are increasingly
turning to part 135 biz-jet transport to escape the moronic security
measures imposed on airline travelers. Competition among air carriers
is fierce as market consolidation threatens to swallow them whole. Air
Traffic Control contractors are lobbying franticly to wrest FAA fiscal
oversight from Congress, so thy can sell their marginally engineered
products to our government. And anyone naive enough to believes light
GA won't be affected by the clash of these titanic combatants is not
paying attention.

Here's the latest news:

I was sitting on a Mississippi River levee this evening, eating a big piece
of home-made pecan pie, watching a tugboat struggle against the current, and
pondering life.

We had flown here in Atlas, our Cherokee Pathfinder -- a flight that took a
whopping twenty minutes. We'd made the flight a hundred times, over the
last eleven years -- it's out default
"rather-go-somewhere-than-fly-the-pattern" flight -- but every now and then
something made it different.

Tonight was different.

We had flown there as a flight of two, with close friends. They had brought
their baby and toddler with them, while we had flown with our daughter, who
has been flying with us since birth. The evening was sublime, with the sun
a low, glowing orb in the sky. The flight had been wondrous.

Instead of eating dinner, we had decided to pick up homemade pies from a
favorite restaurant, milk from a convenience store, and take everything down
to a riverside park. It was decadent and unhealthy, and the kids loved it.

Took three of my recent flights where I was flying just above the
cloud deck conducting approaches, intermingled them throughout the
video and put them to the tunes of Eric Clapton.

IMC or VMC? LOL

Just saying this to mess with Mx's head a little. He may get the
leans if he watches full screen. :-))))

What are you guys paying a gallon?
It's goes up everyday here at RYY

I haven't flown in over a year. When I stopped flying I was a few hours
short of my stage two exam for my private pilot license. I know I screwed
myself over by not flying for so long but what material should I review
before even talking to my instructor.

Cirrus Design is now offering its top-of-the-line SR22 and turbo models
with a panic button.

The customized $48,000 Garmin Perspective integrated cockpit option
includes a bright blue emergency switch called LVL to return the
airplane to straight-and-level flight. The LVL button can recover the
aircraft from an attitude of 75 degrees of roll and 50 degrees of pitch,
even if they occur simultaneously.

Do you have websites for free aviation weather such as
aviationweather.gov?

I am looking for doppler radar sites in particular to observe
precipitation in various regions.

...for you guys trying to quit smoking.
