ETA to Schat’s Bakery: 41 minutes!!

Hello guys. Thanks for all your comments and advice. I truly appreciate it. I decided very last minute (at the airport with the family!!) that the flight with worsening weather conditions (every TAF and other sources were worsening every other hour) was outside my comfort zone. We are diving up...

Planning on returning on 1/1/23. I also like wunderground use it a lot. Thanks!

This is beyond useful and cool! thanks for sharing!

At the time of my arrival (noon on the 29th) I see 9k AGL ceilings and VFR with 3kts winds see image. How accurate will this be? I guess I’ll just be ready for Bishop.

Any advise on which is the best altitude through The Valley to generally avoid the worst turbulence in case it is windy? Thanks!’

Amazing, called an resereved hangar space! I understand from most pilots who have replied to my thread that this trip better be done in light winds and, at worst, in marginal VFR. Noted! I will be ready with plan B. Any additional tips, comments, advise is very much appreciated!

Thank you very much guys... I’ll ask for the east/west from VPGLX or similar... Thanks!

hello guys, I’m looking for advice on the best way to get to KSDL Scottsdale coming from San Diego VFR. AFTER Gila Bend GBN I’m planing on descending from 7500 to 4200 and fly direct to PHX. If I request a northbound transition trough the bravo how likely am I to get it along this route? I’m...

What do you mean with 500 fpm sinkhole right before the runway??
