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...

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...

It's done. Whew. I went up with my instructor this morning, and we went diverting all over. The DPE was free today, so then he came by, and we went on a little flight. Headed into Jersey, we went 15 miles, then he diverted me to Miller. Thanks all for the encouragement in response to...

It was all going so well. Oral went smoothly, weather was essentially perfect, picked up the first few checkpoints of the x-c without an issue, and then the wheels came off. The DPE gave me the diversion, and I was ON it. I'm in the zone, I had my heading, distance, time, and fuel burn within...

Was supposed to have my private checkride today, but weather and the DPE's backlogged schedule pushed it back to December. I imagine I'm not the only one who trained through the summer to see delays for weather in the fall. Oh well, nature of the beast I suppose. Just frustrating to be so...

Hi, so I'm planning on starting my formal ppl training, and am looking for opinions on local flight schools. Looking primarily at Hortman Aviation, as they are both the closest and cheapest, but am by no means committed. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

likely a dumb question, but given the priority given to safety issues i figure it's worth an ask. I'm taking flight lessons in a warrior, and I'm 5'5 and 150 lbs. My instructor is 6'+ and 215lbs. Does a weight differential create a concern of an imbalanced aircraft? thanks!

Hi everyone, After following this site for a while and pining for flight lessons, decided it was time to pee (first draft had this word deleted) or get off the pot. Would love to take flight lessons toward a PPL, but the few shreds of fiscal prudence that I do possess keep that from happening...
