I'm looking for information regarding flying to and staying in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Has anyone been there? Should I have any safety concerns? My company asked me to deploy there for about a month. Normally I stay domestic and can I refuse this, but they are paying me a little more so I'm...

The other day I flew a practice RNAV approach with a G430, and perhaps because I haven't used the G430 in some time I'm assuming I forgot something... I selected and activated the approach. On the way to the IAF the 430 stayed in the terminal mode, once established on the approach it went to...

What's the point of cycling the prop three times? I know there are a lot of people who do it three times and I could never understand why. Theoretically cycling it just once should give you the same amount of information. Thanks

Do we have American Flyers instructors on the forum? Considering taking their CFI & II courses, got a few questions.

I'm looking into doing some work in Florida in the winter and am interested to know how much more flying is done there in the winter then in the summer? I hear that winter is the main flying season (I assume because everyone goes on vacation there at that time), just looking for you guys to...

It seems like the majority of pilots at some point flown a Cub, and I haven't. So this got me wondering, is it just the pilots that I normally talk to or is it the same for most? Please vote in the pole above. All votes are confidential (your name will not be shown). Edit: If you flown an...

Looks like Foreflight is now showing stadium TFRs. I can't find any official page where Foreflight say they do that, but I just opened FF and there are a whole bunch of those things here.

Not sure when they started doing that, but for anyone who doesn't yet know...now you do.

If I fly with someone who does not have their BFR done, but is rated in category and class and has a current medical, will that person be able to log acting PIC if they are the sole manipulator of the controls and I don't log anything? I do not have a CFI.

The Grand Canyon VFR chart can finally be downloaded of the FAA website. For those of us that use ipads there is no longer a need to carry a paper Grand Canyon chart. http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/vfr/ Scroll down a bit, and click "Grand Canyon" then...

So far I've been starting the engine by priming for a few seconds first, and not using the electric fuel pump on the ground at all. Using that procedure it started without a problem. Now I've been doing some reading from the POH and that says to turn the electric fuel pump on before starting and...

Looks like I'll be doing quite a bit of flying in an Archer III for the next few month. Got two operational questions for you guys. 1. Do you use both mags when starting? About half of the info I'm finding on the topic says to use both, and the other half says to use just the left one...

Seems like all the old threads that are not being posted in keep disappearing from this section. Any idea why and how I can find them? I can find threads that I posted in myself by searching for my own posts, but it's a bit hard finding threads that I haven't posted in and don't remember the...

I'm trying to learn the EDM 700, and I can certainly say that it's the most non-user-friendly peace of avionics I've ever used. It has a million functions and only two buttons. I can use it if I'm sitting there with the manual, but that's not very convenient. Knowing how many other people use...
