I mean, technically, nothing stops you from flying into the wrong airspace or landing at the wrong airport either. (HOWEVER), it is probably not the best idea except under an exceptional circumstance..your best bet is to talk to your CFI and give him / her an example. You should also not be...

I think it will get you started, I would worry more about time and consistency. You will go through $5000 fast if you go up several times a week. I paid as I went, so I did not have a lump sum to start with, it is a good idea.

I thought my warrior only primed a single cylinder...hmm

I am actually in the same boat, I am starting IFR end of this year or next year, depends on 2020, but I have a similar configuration. No AP and an iPad to position for added awareness...

I just added $18k worth of avionics on my 1977 Piper Warrior II, which I know I will not get back, but it is my plane and will be my forever plane. I plan on adding more in the future, I do not mind investing in something that makes me happy, knowing, I will not get that money back...ever. Thanks!

I think the hardest part is getting a new CFI comfy with where you are today and getting you comfy with a CFI that works for you. You also have to consider school policies, plane rental availability, etc...lots to think about.

I am not working to build hours because I am not interested in a "next step" however do most just go into being a CFI / CFII to build hours?

I fly a Piper Warrior, I follow my POH, which is use carb heat when carb ice is suspected, usually just open it up during run up and that is it.

I have had my Warrior for like 7 years now...either way, I quit counting and just keep flying.

I get really particular about fuel, I always fill it up in my warrior before I go flying...

Mine was $300, if I recall back in 2013, DPE was easy to schedule and I do not recall having any challenges with a long wait time however I did plan ahead and got him lined up early.

Basics of supply and demand, I want to get out to the show one day but I am not good at the whole camping idea. I have looked myself, what I also thought was well in advance, and found it challenging. If I do go, I will probably end up over 30 miles away but I hear the show is amazing...

I have owned my Piper Warrior for over 5 years now, I never have issues with the nose strut but I get all OCD about the wing struts being level, they never are and it makes me sad. They do take a beating and always come back for more, I have had to add (nitrogen?) to them once and have had usual...

Can you search NTSB reports? Not sure where else you would look.

I have a Stratus 2s, I don't see any reason to upgrade to a Stratus 3...
