Hey fellow POA'ers Ended up in PWK on a tiedown and with the frigid temps outside really need to replace the W100Plus with something like 15W50 before I go fly anywhere. Hence the question - anyone familiar with the area and knows an inexpensive A&P? Or if you have a hangar here I'll gladly rent...

Looking at the WX just now Am I seeing things? Did I miss something on the news? Aviationweather.gov Just west of Key West

Thought I'd share the story of the past couple of years Flying was a hobby and I was a very happy weekend pilot for a while. Well, happy as it gets while I was close to a good place with good rentals at good rates etc. Anyways, then I started a company selling LSA aircraft here in FL, but more...

At least not in our parts Flew through that crap today, stayed a bit lower - wasn't bad in a CE-550B, moderate with some light chop in between I betcha there's gonna be a bargain priced Excel on the market soon. Or a vacant 56X driver position

Ugh, left my cellphone at Landmark Anyone down there and flying up? Sent them an e-mail and will call in the morning to arrange mailing it, but if someone is down there and heading up - I'm buying the lunch.

Cleaning out the "headset collection" I have two Lightspeed Zulu's, straight cord, dual GA plug that just came back from the factory following the control box and adjustment bracket replacement (where the plastic went yucky - replaced with brand shiny new) Light wear (scratches) on the silver...

I saw something of interest today on another forum about using an expired atp written for the practical test (I still have plenty of time, took mine 7/30/14, but not sure I'll have the req'd hours by the expiration date) Here's the cfr The claim was "since you took your knowledge test...

Plz delete Considering the overwhelming response, story deleted

Whew. Four checkrides in the last five months is a lot unless you're ATP student material August - CP ASEL October - CP ASES November - CFI-A December - CFII I guess I was taking it easy in September :D

Just spent some 18.7 hobbs flying around, and I think the O-360-A4M started developing an issue. This is the normal EGT spread for my carburated engine After the climb and level-off on this flight, the #3 EGT was reading lower than normal and somewhat jittery - however notice that the...

Enjoying the cool air in Smokies, thinking about blasting off North in a few hours, just flying up on the back side of the front. Will probably end up somewhere in E Ohio (any suggestions where to go there?) Thence was thinking of continuing NE looking for the pretty fall foliage, but a bit put...

Looks like I might have a trip like that in the near future. Say KCIC to KDED - which route would you pick? Not a mountain flyer yet - fly to SoCal and then head East? Any other "easy" options? Aircraft is turbonormalized, but I'm a flatlander and don't have that much experience with flying...

Tracking your flight. Such as relatives waiting to pick you up and such. Started off with a Spot tracker. Great thing when it worked. Sometimes it would just stop sending the tracks for half an hour or so, and then would just spit them all out at once. Switched over to flying my xc's IFR...

End of an era, as someone once said Now I'm hanging my weekend pilot wings, and putting on my official professional weekend pilot wings :yes: Write-up - oral - lots of focus on runway incursions. Taxiway markings, LAHSO, hotspots etc. Priveleges and limitations. WX mins, airspace types, all...

Highlight of my flying to date. Flight itself was in and around the weather (snapshot shows big ol' TS where it was at 7:30, I was driving around it, not quite through it. Not through the thick of it anyways), but while TSs were cute, the Epic thing happened just abeam lake Okeechobee - we're...

Hi all Last couple of long(ish) xc flights at 75% peak egt (or as close as carb'd engine gets to it) at 7-8k feet I've noticed that the number 4 cyl is somewhat hotter than the rest of the bunch and the EGT on it is somewhat cooler than the bunch. Fairly representative picture - EGT 1 -...

Here's a thought. I think that having a break in your flying is beneficial. There, I said it. Now let me explain. After getting my private ticket, I flew about 4.5 hrs taking relatives and friends for the long awaited rides, and then a move to a different state and a career change forced...
