    Chicago to San Diego route

    I will clarify: flying R172K with 210HP IO-360 and CSP. Service ceiling 17,000. Cruise 130kts. Not sure why this matters since I am trying to stay low and comfortable at the same time. Speed isn't really that important. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Chicago to San Diego route

    Jim, can you give me more details on this route? I need to make relatively frequent stops and wonder if it will be possible. Early in the morning is not a problem but that also means that I have from maybe 5:00am until 11:00am. With stops that may be limiting me to no more than 4.5 hours of...

    Chicago to San Diego route

    I have done this once before. At that time I followed I-40 from Amarillo, then Albuquerque, Gallup, Winslow, Flagstaff, Phoenix and San Diego. But this was a few years ago and I clearly remember strong turbulence leaving ABQ around 2:00pm. I also remember flying at 10,500 most of the time along...

    Chicago to San Diego route

    Greetings, Can someone recommend low VFR route from Chicago to San Diego. I will be flying 172XP with 2 ppl. My wife is 6 months pregnant, so trying to avoid getting over 8500 for a long periods of time. Also, would like to keep each leg under 2 hours. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Oxygen refills

    Yes, but we still need to fly back. At some point it has to be refilled. My local FBO also does not offer oxygen so I bought the system prefilled. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Oxygen refills

    I have 24 cubit feet aluminum bottle. This will be my first time ever using it so I am not really sure what to expect.

    Oxygen refills

    Hi, I plan on flying my172XP from Chicago to Prescott, AZ and then on to San Diego. My wife is going to be 6 months pregnant by then, so I would like her to have oxygen when we are above 8,000ft. I bought a 4-place portable oxygen system from Sporty's but somewhat puzzled as to where and how...

    Anyone can give two fellow pilots a ride to 3CK early tomorrow?

    I am currently at Oshkosh with a camper trailer and a minivan. Would there be anyone willing to save me the trouble of having to drive back to Chicago and help me and a co-pilot bring my plane from Lake in the Hills (3CK) by giving me a ride there in your airplane? Our share of expenses covered...

    Altitude encoder question

    I am not sure which encoder I have right now. I know it does not have serial output.

    Altitude encoder question

    I have an ARC RT-359A transponder with the original analog altitude encoder. I recently purchased a GPSS unit to use with its Navomatic 300A autopilot. The unit has the capability of issuing alerts when reaching certain altitude but without encoder that function is not available. I have...

    Adding rear child seat?

    I have dual child bench seat that came with my 1977 Cessna R172K. They are removable and there are brackets and seat belts for them. They effectively create a 3rd row of seats in the baggage compartment. I've used them once with a single 3 year old passenger. Seem to work fine for when you need...
