I am headed to Stuart, Florida for work Thursday and sit for the weekend then come back Monday. I want to take advantage of my down time there and possibly rent an airplane to fly somewhere scenic, as I've never been to Florida before. Any suggestions on places to fly to that would be within...

I have wanted to go skydiving for a while now, so for Christmas my boyfriend bought me a skydiving jump. [Although he wouldn't do it with me!] A couple of my girl friends were game to go though, and I finally did it! I have always wanted to experience it and cross it off the bucket list - but...

I can't for the life of me think of a Christmas gift good enough for my boyfriend. He doesn't fly - but he's really outdoorsy and active. For his birthday I took him sailing, and I'm just not sure what I can do to top that. I'd prefer to get him something unique and fun we can do together as...

Recently, I've been offered a job and told I need to acquire an FCC License. Can anyone explain to me what exactly it is and what the requirements are for it? How difficult is this to attain? I've looked it up and have not come across very much helpful material. Thank you in advance.

Yesterday in the LA basin, Obama was in town. The TFR was around LA for the majority of his stay, but there was about an hour long TFR around Pomona. I was flying home from Vegas and aware of the TFR - the airport I was flying to was under the outer ring. I filed IFR out of KLAS to head to KSNA...

I took my Multi Engine Commercial Instrument checkride a couple of weeks ago, but I am just now getting around to doing my write up. The morning of my checkride I flew over from SNA-LGB (had to drop an airplane off at MX in LGB for my trip to New York, which was the day after.) So I got to my...

This past week has been one I will never forget and thought I would share. Last Monday, I passed my Multi Commercial Instrument checkride. On Tuesday, I left to fly a 182 from Southern California to New York. Spent a few days at a beach house with a friend in New York, and then flew the 182 back...

My friend texted me tonight to make sure I wasn't the one in the airplane, which is how I heard about it. I actually flew out of MYF today... sad all the way around. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Plane-Crashes-in-Kearny-Mesa-269305051.html

I am currently on vacation with my family, and I flew myself up here. My brother bought some fireworks and has asked me if I will fly them home for him. I don't know that I feel comfortable doing this in case they go off, although I don't know the likelihood of that happening. Is it even legal...

Hi all, I am currently trying to find a cool place to fly to within 400NM of me (I fly out of KSNA). I've been nearly everywhere in Southern Cali so I am trying to branch out. I am looking to fly somewhere to spend the night - preferably somewhere scenic and reasonably priced. Any suggestions...

This week I flew up to Skagit (BVS) in Washington, when I initially contacted Seattle Approach, the controller told me to fly a heading upon reaching Olympus VOR. And to descend from 10,000 ft down to 4,000. I thought it was a little early considering Olympus was still nearly 75nm from my...

So I have recently completed my IFR and I am looking for advice on what to do next. My IFR instructor recommended doing my Multi-Private and then my Multi-Commercial [Private first so that I would get more Multi PIC time] before my Single-Engine Commercial [Apparently that's what everyone at his...

I'm planning a flight in the near future to Half Moon Bay. My best friend lives in Berkeley so I plan to fly to Oakland to pick her up and then go from KOAK to KHAF. Has anyone here flown there? What would be the best way to navigate the Bravo out of Oakland? I was thinking to fly around...

I think the 400 is faster? What are the pro's and con's of each against each other? I've heard pilots of both talk about how theirs is better. I'm just not fully aware of all the differences between the two, I always thought they were quite similar. Thoughts?

I couldn't find a thread on here. Anyways, second week. Second race. Anyone here watch Malaysia? I was so stoked Schumie was starting 3rd on the grid, but bad luck second week in a row for him in the race. I think he's still got it though!! Hoping he can take a podium this season, the Mercedes...

So two weeks ago I did my first solo cross country! [I haven't been on here in a while to share-- but this is a really big accomplishment for me] I will start from the VERY beginning. The day before my scheduled solo x-country - I checked the weather forecast religiously every hour. The...

I'm currently training for my PPL, and yesterday I did my first 0/0 takeoff. I flew entirely under foggles up until 500 feet before landing. In the air I find it is not hard for me to trust the instruments, but the takeoff was a bit trickier. I followed my heading well, he said I stayed on the...
