I started instrument training two years ago. I got 20 hrs into it, but had to stop due to a crazy work/life schedule. My schedule is still just as hectic now, but I want to finish my training and move on. I’m considering using Gatts to get it done. I don’t have my own airplane to use, so I’d be...

I’m a private pilot and I was pursuing my instrument rating when I took a break to knock out the written test. My “break” turned into a year absence. During that time, my third class medical lapsed. I had LASIK a few years ago and I really don’t feel like jumping through the hoops needed because...

Recently my headset won't turn on. I plug it in and push the power button and a red light comes on. I have changed the batteries a few times now, so I know it's not that. I've searched the web and can't find anything about it. Any ideas? I believe their technical service is closed now for the...

I'm looking at buying into a 182. The owner of the airplane has been in a partnership before, but the previous partner moved on. It would be a 50/50 partnership, so I'm needing 50% of the planes value to buy in. It's an older 182, but I'm guessing the value will be somewhere in the $50K-$60K...

Looking at buying a plane for IFR training as well as other missions. I'm wondering if there are advantages or disadvantages of either plane? I like the greater useful load of the 182 for hauling more people and more fuel. However, I do like the simplicity of the 172. In addition to IFR...

Looking at an older Cherokee 180 for sale. It is a 12 volt system with fuses.... Should this be a deal breaker? How difficult and expensive is it to have the system changed to circuit breakers? Overall, it is a very clean airplane. But, I'm being told that the fuses are not fun to deal with. Any...

I came across a 1957 Cessna 172 for sale locally. It is a partnership of three and one partner is looking to get out. She says that one partner hasn't flown in years and the other is very infrequent. Here are some details about the plane: TT- 2533 SMOH- 362 180 Conversion with constant speed...

It's no secret that flight training is expensive.... I have just recently received my private pilot ticket and am anxious to keep going. I currently work in the law enforcement field and I love the career--however, I would love it even more if I could combine it with aviation. I've looked at...

Is there a simple way of understanding these altimeter errors? I'm seeing "low to high, clear the sky" and "high to low, look out below." I'm really overthinking these concepts, and I'm wondering if anybody has a simplified way of understanding it. Thanks!

Hi there, I am due to go for my thrid class medical exam this coming week for my student pilot certificate. I had laser corrective eye surgery about 9 months ago with great success for the most part. I did start to notice a change in the vision in my left eye, and had another laser enhancement...
