    Time in Make and Model for Insurance Purposes

    I am sure this is a terrible question and I'm sure the answer is obvious, but just in case.... I am going to get an instructor put on my aircraft's insurance, and it's a C177RG. He has no time in a C177RG, but he does have time in a C172RG. Can he count his C172RG time as Time In Make and...

    How do I log it?

    So I have my ASEL, but I've been getting some rotorcraft time lately with a CFI. The CFI is just a coworker, and we're both overseas. He is leaving shortly and moving on to another job, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to see him again (he's moving away from the area where we currently...

    JetBlue extended my vacation involuntarily

    Okay, so my wife and I flew JetBlue from Orlando to Cancun a week and a half ago. This flight is quite simple, it originates from Orlando (i.e. doesn't start from some other city first) and goes direct to Cancun. A couple of hours later, the flight returns from Cancun to Orlando. It's the...

    Dumb/rhetorical/hypothetical question

    I am an A&P, and have been for some time prior to receiving my PP certificate. During my flight training, one of the subjects that my instructor would bring up, in regard to aviation regulations, was about what maintenance I could legally perform on an airplane. I would commonly joke and say...

    How far to go for cross country time building?

    So I have had my private ticket for a little over a year now, and ever since then my flights have consisted of a mix of short and long cross country flights, the shortest being 52nm, and the longest being 244nm (straight line, anyway). I'm basically just trying to build up time and experience...

    Stranger treats Oklahoma City veteran to dream flight in B-29

    I was reading up on a flight sim forum (DCS) that I frequent and read an article where one of the forum members made a vet's day: http://newsok.com/stranger-treats-oklahoma-city-veteran-to-dream-flight-in-b-29/article/3716779 That was mighty nice of him, I think.

    First flight as a certificated pilot!

    Well, I did my PP check ride on June 16th, then I left for Afghanistan on June 17th. I just got back two weeks ago and today was my first opportunity to go fly. I had a quiet, uneventful, and very enjoyable flight from Herlong (Jacksonville) down to Cedar Key and back. As it turns out, with...

    did my LAST solo today!

    Well...my last PLANNED solo prior to my PP checkride, anyway. I love being able to see the results on CloudAhoy. It shows me a few things that I really need to work on *cough*following a heading*cough*. Also flew for about 15 minutes in the rain at the end. Apparently the wings continue to...

    Approach Airspace Charts

    At work I came across the attached chart, and it looks to be immensely helpful. However, it is about 8 years old and I know some of the freqs are different. I was wondering if anyone has seen charts like this before, and where they might be available.

    Flight Following without a Transponder

    The aircraft that I have typically been flying for training has an inoperative transpoder, but my CFI would like me to use flight following services during my cross-country flights. Is flight following service without a transponder possible (I'm confident this answer is "yes")? Assuming it's...
