$2800 alternator on Cherokee edited/resolved 10/1/13- The job was off-site at a different airport so much of the labor was travel. They should have explained this on the invoice and it would have made more sense. They also reduced the bill to $2200. Still high, but not outrageous as I...

I have been using an xrx for a year. It works pretty well at detecting traffic but is not accurate enough for me to have complete confidence in it. I have it connected to a Garmin 796. This week I bought. Gdl39 to use instead. Since I primarily fly in the Northeast I figured ADS-B coverage...

Since I bought my plane I have not been able to get music to play through the intercom system. It is driving me crazy. I have tried a gound loop isolator, that doesn't work. I have replaced and rearranged wires. Nothing works. I can hear music, but there is lots of static. My source is my...

My Zulu Headset just started acting up. When I insert the batts it turns on for about a second. Then it goes off and I can't turn the back on. I have tried 2 sets of new batts, same results. Was working fine up until now. Anybody had this happen to theirs?

I have seen some people with low hours or even still in training with lots of landings! Wondering what people have? I have 180 hours, with 249 landings. Been to over 30 airports in 10 states. So I think I have a fraction of landings compared to some other low time pilots. But lots of cc...

Anybody know how the airport did? Is it open?

Many of you know I just went through an incredibly expensive annual. Now i am trying to work out the details with my partner. The horse is definitely before the cart on this one. Without trying to sound biased at all I will lay the details out for you. Just looking for opinions on how you...

I want to take my 3 yr old camping for a night. Nothing major. Just fly somewhere, and set up a tent on the field. If there was somewhere to sit by a fire at night and somewhere close to grab breakfast in the morning it would be perfect. Any places like this in Md, Va, Nc, De, Pa, Nj, wv

We do a boat charter in Tortola almost every year. Normally fly into St Thomas. This year I am looking for other alternatives to fly right into Beef Island. I see we can charter a 9 passenger plane for about $1200 on one of these. Seems like a good deal to me. Any recommendations out there...

Took my plane in for annual. Was pretty perfect as far as I knew, lots of upgrades since I bought it last year. Was prepping myself for a $3k annual. Bought the plane with low hours since overhaul so I would not have to deal with a huge surprise expense. My plan backfired In a big way...

In my training I was taught/required to call the briefer before every flight. I've since become so comfortable with my routine of checking wx, tfr's and notams that it's just a repeat of what I already know when I call the briefer. So I a, wondering how many of you call the briefer before...
