The ILS or LOC RWY 29R into KSCK has a lead radial of 112 off of the ECA VOR. Why is this? It's not a DME arc. I'm guessing it's to give you a heads up that you're going to intercept the localizer if you're inbound from the MOD VOR IAF, but the 29 degree intercept angle isn't overly aggressive...

Flying to KBFI in a week and if the wx is nice, will likely do a sightseeing flight. Will probably depart to the north from BFI and fly around Seattle under the Bravo. Any locals have wisdom to impart? Thanks!

Departing from a field that doesn't have a lot of attractive options in case of engine failure on climbout, is it best to climb at Vx or Vy to provide the best position to get back to the field?

The last few times I've rented planes from my flight school, the planes have had previously squawked issues that either MX was performed and the issue still persists, or just haven't been addressed at all. Obviously these aren't airworthy items, but things like a tach that bounces at operating...

Had my IR checkride yesterday and pink slipped it. Got through the oral fine, approx 2 hours. Nothing out of the ordinary, very focused on weather decision making. went over the flight plan that I had made ahead of time and walked through the trip covering the various phases of flight. Played...

My checkride is coming up after a so-so final stage check. For those of you who perhaps failed your first instrument checkride, or were caught out by something on your checkride that had you hanging on by the static wicks, would you care to share your tales of woe? Thanks!

Has anyone come up with a good mounting scheme to capture the panel in a 172? I'd like to debrief my screw ups with video post flight but can't seem to find a good way to mount the camera.

Does anyone know of a busy clearance delivery on liveatc? Want to practice copying clearances.

when flying a hilo depicted on a chart, assuming you are set up with a teardrop or parallel entry, do you normally do the entry and fly just the inbound leg to reverse course, or would you normally do you do the entry, fly the racetrack, and then proceed?

I heard a story about at guy who was flying through class C with flight following, had the non towered (tower closed for the night) airport in sight, told ATC, and then was told frequency change approved to CTAF (actual freq was given), squak vfr. pilot did so. afterwards the pilot realized that...

One of the local CFIIs has a plane with no GPS. Knowing that any aircraft I will fly in my near future will have a 430 at the least and likely a G1000, does it make sense to train in this aircraft? My initial reaction was that it would be good for me to learn the old way, but after reading...

On Saturday I was moved to a different plane that had some different flying characteristics (still a 172, but tended to really float on landing, confirmed by my CFI who said others don't like this plane). I spent about 3 hours doing pattern work at different airports and just completely botching...

My practice area is about 10 mins from the field. Any suggestions for making this time with my CFI more productive. On the way out the last couple of times we've tracked a radial but on the way back we end up chatting about planes.

The school I am using for my flight training offers part 141 or 61 for ppl. They won't come out and say it, but I feel like they prefer the 141 route. I have already gone through the Jeppensen book and have taken dauntless practice tests and am ready to take the written, so I feel that the...

As I understand it, I need a CFI signoff before I can take the PPL written. Right now I have the time to study, but neither the time nor the money to fly. That should be in order by August. So I'd like to study for and take the written now. I have the Jeppensen guided discovery book, the AIM...
