See Shaw AFB below. Class C with a class D area depicted as well. I assume that it is one or the other depending on time of day. But, per the AFD (look towards the bottom of second image) the hours of class D service are the same as the hours TWR is closed. So it's a class C most of the day, but...

I know there are plenty here with extensive Tiger experience. I am newish to the club and haven't taken mine above 9,500 yet, and while it was still climbing (solo, ~40gal remaining) it wasn't exactly screaming for the sky either. I recall something like 200fpm though I didn't record it. For...

So, the Diamond layoffs got me thinking about something that has always intrigued me about the economics of aircraft manufacturing. We've seen in the last years that the "big guys" are struggling with piston aircraft. Look at Mooney, Beech, Columbia, and even Cessna. But every time I open a...

Hi folks, I'm an instrument student ready for my check ride, and couldn't get a good answer to this question today. I noticed with the latest approach plates that in addition to a slew of changes to the RNAV 17 at JYO, the TDZE has now become THRE, which is 5 feet lower. LPV minimums are still...
