A family friend's 18-year-old son has wanted to be a pilot for ages. Spends all his time on Flight Simulator. Decided he was going to college...
Have been to Midway several times in our Bonanza. The $9.00+ 100LL (with oil almost in the $70s per bbl) will get your attention; however, I...
I put my money on a fuel issue as well. It was by no means hard IFR, even for someone with not a ton of experience. I've flown our Bonanza...
When I bought my first airplane and got acquainted with the hanger shortage here, I naturally thought market forces were out of whack -- there was...
Ditto here. Have had my IR for 900 hours -- of which I've been on a IFR plan probably 80-90% of that. In that time, I've been given a grand...
That's exactly what I do -- with a CIIIc was well -- I was hoping the OP had found some really cool way to do an unpublished hold, fully coupled,...
Ahhhh... I was reading your account thinking there *was not* a published hold at the FAF - and thought that would be a very sneaky thing to pull...

To that point, I came across a webpage many moons ago titled "How my Century Autopilot tried to kill me today"... I got a good laugh from it...
When we bought our A36, the first thing I did was remove the ADF and DME, cleaned up the panel, and slipped in an Aspen. To my complete...

My home field is a rather large Class C and after landing there hundreds of times, I still have a hard time picking it out at night from time to...
Congratulations -- and congratulations. I applaud you getting your Private and for wanting to get going on the IR. I greatly preferred my IR...
Got my Private and had accumulated a whopping 80 hours, and went flying one beautiful, crisp, Fall day in a rented two-seater. 'Depart a rather...
