    IFR Flight Plan Starting at a VOR?

    IFR Flight Plan Starting at a VOR?

    Yes, they are, and I have the equipment to fly at the higher altitudes. I'm still gaining confidence as an IFR pilot, so my preference would be stay on a Victor airway in IFR conditions. Since the first part of the flight will almost certainly be VFR, my thought is to get out of the airport...

    IFR Flight Plan Starting at a VOR?

    Friends - I'm a newly-minted IFR pilot, so please forgive me if this is a basic question. It looks like I may be taking a flight on Saturday that will start in VFR conditions, and end in IFR conditions. I want to avoid having to climb to a relatively high altitude for an IFR victor airway on...

    G5 Question

    Cessna 182 Exhaust Clamps

    When calling Knisley, the call transfers to AWI. It appears Knisley is now part of the Hartzell family. Is Knisley's system any different from what AWI is offering? https://awi-ami.com/cessna-182-185-exhaust-system-itemized-parts-list-mapped-image
