Perhaps due to less-frequent visits (in recent years), but no negative ATC experience flying HPN airspace. Perceptions and expectations may differ, especially when comparing HPN to (CDW or MMU). HPN with higher volume, and more varied mix of traffic (Part 121/135/91) operating air transport...

6. For practice, fly more often at night … and a flashlight (as backup).

In case helpful for weather planning, FYI: Prog Charts on Aviation Weather Center remain unreliable (and mostly outdated) due to a NWS systems outage. - Current shows fronts/pressure systems valid: Mon Apr 15 (three days ago) - 6 and 12 hour forecasts, now corrected - 18 hour, 72 hr and...

-Jacksonville and Caribbean 1 VFR sectionals do not meet (illustrated by red arrow below). Miami sectional does not extend west to cover gap. Garmin Pilot (and co) display a gray box (or equivalent) for gaps (areas) which are not included in FAA VFR sectionals. ... and SkyVector displays only...

In case useful, tips for DXR: - consider noise abatement (for example on right downwind 35, avoid flying over Lake Waubeeka/community) ... and it appears you did avoid it. - On final 35, it can be disconcerting descending through the valley as the terrain rises abv your altitude, on both sides...

For example numbers, might also be worth having a look whether useful info on Form 990. e.g. revenue (for monthly dues + flying charges); balance sheet assets (for aircraft, etc.) Search by ‘organization name’ (or for broader list, try “flying club” to yield more examples)...

AvWeb posted encouraging insight re ‘GNS longevity’ in an article two weeks ago. Worth a look … https://www.avweb.com/insider/gns-430-hysteria-25-years-later/

Raising awareness for PIREPs in Episode 16; good idea, and somewhat unique (not often shared by content creators). The topic generated helpful feedback in comments (youtube/reddit), and interesting to see more than one FSS specialist offered encouragement. For accuracy, linking to Bold Method...

Also might consider a look at WeatherSpork … appears close to satisfying the request.

Criteria to consider (as suggested), train with the flight school which offers good, solid instruction and good CFIs. If both schools are similar/adequate, then sure. No reason not to train for PVT certificate in LSA. It appears whether you complete 'all' training for a PVT certificate in LSA...

- If current SP/LSA inadequate, agreed. Better to get a PVT pilot certificate. - better not to rely on what may not happen (as currently proposed). For whatever aircraft used for training, get a PVT certificate. At NPRM stage, it appears Mosaic remains a ‘what if’ and ‘when if’. If a class 3...

Fuel cost might be referring to full-service vs self-serv prices; ‘pump gas’ yourself.

As suggested, consider 'what ifs' to mitigate financial risk. For 150 hrs within 6 months … - variable cost ($90/hr) + fixed cost (141/mo) + HELOC interest expense, appears less than: - renting VFR-only Cessna ($120/hr) If major mx expense crops up, yes, some of that might be recoverable when...

If considering older option (mentioned in 2017, post #2), Avnwx.com illustration: - not on sectional; tap on airport to display identifier - circle increments: 10,25,50,100,150,250,500

"for longer-range planning", consider starting with big picture weather systems forecast. WPC forecast fronts/pressure systems (cycle through day 3-7): AWC Prog Charts

If dual engine failure/shutdown, RAT deploys (like this ERJ-170): REF: photo source

Thanks Peter, Displaying traffic on a VFR map (or IFR enroute charts, etc) is not the only way to show traffic in existing applications. For example, it's not difficult to discern traffic using dedicated "Traffic" page. It appears difference between Garmin Pilot (for example) and 'Traffic...

Ignoring “always”, then ‘Both’ … -Chart Supplement (f.k.a. A/FD): whether the data is obtained/displayed in Foreflight, Garmin Pilot, AOPA Airport Directory, etc., it’s from same source: A/FD -Airport website: for noise abatement, local procedures/tips, extra FBO info, etc. While not...
