Clearly I am out of my bfr so I will need to do that, but do you guys/gals have any recommendations on how I should study up before I meet with an instructor? I was planning on saving for my IFR but then life happened. I think for now I'll get my bfr and just fly once per month. Any book or...

I'm just curious how effective they are and if there are things we can add? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'm getting back into it again after a year of not flying, but I need an affordable EFB. I used to use foreflight but last I checked it was around $150/yr. I am planning on starting my instrument training in the far so ifr charts will be a requirement. Anyone have pireps on garmin or wings...

Link. Pretty interesting to see a real emergency.

Any of you use a ipad/iphone app for your checklist? If so what do you use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's a very interesting interview with Burt where he talks about his new airplane link. Man I hope those specs work out as they do on paper. It sounds like an awesome airplane.

Did any of you get a chance to read over this? Just curious what your thoughts are? Any cirrus owners know about the last part:

So I have my private but I will be coming up on my biennial soon but unfortunately I won't have time to fly until a couple months from now. Would I need to get my BFR done before I can start trying to get a glider add-on?

Note I am not in the market mostly just window shopping. First off are the RV7 and LongEZ compatible in missions? FYI I chose to look at RV7 over RV9 mainly due to greater efficiency with a compatible engine. LEZ: Pro: 6-7gph @ 160kts? Pro: Fighter jet feel Pro: Canard stall Pro: Up...

So I read this article: Link where a pilot had to parachute jump after an engine failure. I know this depends on the airplane, but isn't it pretty hard from a normal GA airplane, e.g. 172, cherokee, mooney, etc.? I presume it's easier for something that has a sliding canopy of some sort like...

I assume it's aluminum? Otherwise wouldn't we be using things like fiberglass on cars no? Just a thought. Any structural engineers around?

That's the first time i've seen it. Is this a SpaceX thing?

I post this in another post about engine failures but I think it would be better suited in another thread. Here's my situation: The airplane I had a partnership in was involved in an accident (all the parties involved were okay, but were hospitalized for a week). Ever since the accident I...

I'm bored and I need a project to work on. Some of my ideas included an app to pop up during different phases of flight to show checklists via smartwatch. An app to debrief your flights by recording gps and audio and being able to type out a discussion of the flight along with pics... Any...

I thought this video was pretty well narrated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFqDuFxZEZw&index=6&list=LLjFMe2S4mUnTV4sKeJfH-ag Enjoy. PS: It's not me.
