awesome; wasn't aware of this. thanks!

Probably logistically successful, while also ending my marriage. Not sure it's quite worth it.

hi - I've been renting a 2nd gen SR20 (pre-installation of the LATCH system) and would like to start bringing my 2-yr old along. Problem is that I'm not sure how to secure the seat (Chicco nextfit) into the 5-point harness and don't see anything helpful online yet. Anyone have experience with...

Hey there - I'll be in Albuquerque for a few days in early November and would love to get in a flight if there's someone around with access to a plane. I'm a non-IR PPL with complex & hp endorsements, and I'll be in the area (staying in downtown) 11/6 - 11/8. Ideal would be a complex (I need...

I assume these are now sold off?

You don't have costs for rent, tuition, etc. now, but it's likely you will in a year or two. Will you have the cash flow to support all of that?

Sure - it's 516-683-2901.

Second this suggestion. Flew the skyline route the other day, and crossing central park was really, really cool. We did it around 4:15, and we had this ridiculous view of the sun setting over downtown manhattan. Highly recommend. Also highly recommend calling NY's TRACON in advance of the...

I'll echo the general consensus of this thread. You set personal minimums for everything you do, especially in flying - what weather you'll fly in, how short of a runway you'll fly into, what kinds of maneuvers you'll do on your own. Prudence is the only way you can fly without an unscheduled...

Answers are coming out of the woodwork. This is fantastic, thanks!

Google and faa.gov have so far proven useless. Admittedly, I don't have either the green book or a phone book, but I don't see that changing today or tomorrow.

Did it today to help plan a flight around Philly. The flight school happened to have the phone number for philly tracon; this sounded like an exceedingly rare phone call for them, but it worked out well. Followed the schyulkill from wings down to the art museum and center city and headed back...

Thanks guys. Am indeed looking to cut through bravo vfr. Tried calling them this afternoon to no avail; got the number through a third party site, so don't even know if it was right. Surprised it's not more readily available.

Rookie question here. Is it ever possible to call TRACON in advance of a flight to plan for the route likely to make the most sense? For example, getting to either KHPN or the Hudson from Philly requires either going around Staten Island or getting a bravo clearance to get across/over EWR. I'd...

I'll never doubt you again.

Good luck! Feeling ready?

This is a really good point. One of the flight instructors at the school says "In an emergency in the air, an A student becomes a C student." I think it's really true - under pressure you're more prone to these simple mistakes than in calm conditions.

thanks for that. It's easy to forget how small jersey is and just how many airports there are. WWD is easily reachable from central jersey within 30 minutes, even if it almost doesn't feel like it should be. and those last points are all great; just saving fuel (because you don't know when...

thanks guys; much appreciated!

I'm missing something, clearly, although I'm working on a paper and therefore not putting a ton of thought into it. Care to offer a hint?
