On Saturday 1/8/22, a pilot friend from Gulfstream at the Savannah Airport came up to fly out with me for a lunch run. I was wanting to fly somewhere along the coast to have seafood. When I checked KARW Beaufort SC, KSSI St Simons Island GA, 09J Jekyll Island GA and KFHB Fernandina FL, they...

1) Do they have courtesy cars at KJZI? 2) Are there any good seafood restaurants nearby you would recommend? 3) Do they have any landing/parking fees? If so, do you know how much?

In December, I had two uAvionix AV-30-C’s installed in my Piper Cherokee. In the process we pulled out the vacuum pump along with the old AI and DG instruments. I’d have to go back and check my new weight and balance, which is in the airplane, but I think I saved just shy of 15 lbs. I flew my...

Because of the "First Ride of the Spring" thread, I decided to create a club on Strava for those of us that are also into cycling. I thought it would be a great way for us to stay in touch with our rides and hopefully ecourage each other to move forward with our riding. For those unfamiliar...

Decisions, decisions, decisions!!! I would really like to put an auto-pilot in my airplane this summer. The poll options in this thread seem to be the hot runners at this time. There are pros and cons to each of the options. Garmin G5s with GFC500 AP - Unfortunately Garmin does not have my...

Anybody else following these guys trip from St Augustine, Fl to Alaska? Looks like a fun trip. They have six videos posted so far.

http://www.compairtechllc.com Does anybody here know anything about Express Aircraft? Have you seen one, flown in one, piloted one or own one? Looks interesting from the website.

I know everyone has their wish list for airplane upgrades. What's on your radar for this year? I would love to get the new Garmin 500 autopilot with G5 but I'm at the mercy of waiting on an STC.

Has anybody seen a head to head comparison of the Aspen Evolution VFR ($4000) vs a dual Garmin G5 setup ($4500) ? The one advantage I see for the Aspen is the software can be upgraded to the IFR Pro version down the road and can also upgrade the software to add synth vision. Is there something...

I am working on my instrument rating and have been using the timers built into WingX to performed my timed turns and etc. I have managed to get by but it is a bit cumbersome. What are you guys using for timing? I was looking at the ASA timer on amazon.com but was unsure if it would be worth...

I don't think I have ever seen this before. Why would there be any need for a TFR if the area is already restricted?

This afternoon I turned on my iPad and my Safari browser area at the top of the screen was black with white letters in the address and tabs area. Before it was the opposite with white background and black letters. I usually keep tabs for USAirNet weather, AOPA forum and POA forum. My tabs...

It looks like I will be doing some consulting work for Bruce Power in Kincardine Ontario Canada after my current project finishes this fall. I have been to the AOPA website and reviewed the Customs checklists for flying into Canada and back into the US. This will be my first experience flying...

Do any of you know an information source for finding airports that have paved bike lanes or bike trails near the airport? I know that St Simons Island (KSSI), Jekyll Island (09J), and Fernandina Beach/Amelia Island (KFHB) have bike paths accessible from their airports. It would be neat to find...

I have been thinking about getting a folding bicycle for my airplane. I figure it will be fun to have when I fly to St Simons and Jekyll Islands for crusing around and exercise. I thought it would also be good transportation at airports without courtesy cars. Do any of you carry a bike with...

I am scheduled to put my airplane in the shop on July 9th to upgrade my panel to a Garmin GTN650 GPS and GTX345 ADS-B Transmitter. We will be removing my Garmin GTX327 transponder and TKM MX11 comm radio. The GTX327 is only three years old and both are in great working order. These two radios...

The weather was awesome for flying today in Georgia. Severe clear and mild temperatures. My neighbor and I decided to make a run down to St Simons and eat seafood at Barbara Jeans for supper. I hope the rest of you were able to get out for some flying this weekend too and take advantage of...

FWIW, I thought I would post a few pictures from my flight up the coast today. Unfortunately I didn't have my Canon and these are just iPhone shots. There is nothing earth shattering here but thought I would share for anyone that has not flown this area before. The first picture is over...

How are you guys in Florida and Georgia faring through the storm so far? They are predicting winds 40 to 60 mph with rain 4" to 8" in the Augusta Georgia area. I am so grateful I have my plane in a good hangar. I hope everyone gets through the storm with minimal problems.
