Thanks for the responses. I should have put the reason for the question.... i was doing a lesson with great intentions to use my iPad loaded with Garmin pilot. I had everything setup in the iPad and decided to put it on the dash while preflighting. Low and behold the iPad overheated forcing...

Does anyone have any instructional videos on how to fold a sectional chart for ease of use in the cockpit?

The monthly dues are $95. I took a closer look at the airplanes that are offered and interestingly several of them are 1980 aircraft. Not sure what it was about that year or just coincidence . The Cessna 172 that I’m currently renting is a 2011 G 1000.

$2000 is non refundable. I’m not sure you can sell it.

I started taking flying lessons again and I am a few hours in. I’m currently renting from an airport very close to my house and a 172 runs for $168 an hour wet. There’s a flying club 20 minutes away at a different airport that charges $2000 to join and then it is $60 dry. I figure 7 gallons per...

To answer some of your questions: I stopped flying shortly after getting my certificate because we had our first child and I couldn't justify flying around Kansas City, spending $200 a pop and going nowhere. I have a little more money now but I still see myself going places vs. flying locally...

Thanks for the replies. Gives me some hope that I can do this. My goal was to knock the rust off and do some short xc and then start my instrument.

I’m curious else is in my situation. I got my PPL 12 years ago after about 70 hours. I’m now 47. Shortly after that we had our first daughter and then second daughter and then for some. So basically for the past decade I have not flown but I was always interested in learning how to fly so I...

KOJC, I think you and I talked a couple years ago about getting back into flying. I need to knock the rust off first and then start my ifr training. Due to my job I would like to do it a little more concentrated than my private but I still want to get great training.

Are there any programs where you train for a week, take a couple weeks off and return to train. I want intense training to make sure I am well prepared but dont want to do it all in a week or 2. I would love to learn to fly like the pros but not follow the career path. I just want to fly the...

I got my PPL 10 years ago and haven't flown since. I would like to get back into flying and works towards my IFR. I live close to a local airport in KC but I don't want to do a lesson/flight once every week or 2. I would like to find a school somewhere in the US with excellent training where...

Located in Overland Park. 1 mile from KOJC.

I don't own an airplane yet. Looking at a few different options based on if my family of 5 wants to fly for travel. Looking at 182, 206, and cirrus.

Sorry to be redundant but I haven't found a good solution to my training question by searching. I am 46 and got my PPL 10 years ago. I haven't flown since then but I have the itch to get back in with the goal of traveling cross country to travel with our family of 5. My PPL took 1 year with...

I am looking for guidance on the best approach to getting back into flying. I currently have 70 hours but havent flown in 9 years. My goal is to get proficient flying again and move onto to my instrument training. My mission would be to fly from the midwest to either ATL or CA to see family...
