I have a Garmin D2 Bravo Titanium for sale. Comes with everything except the rubber band, but includes the metal band (never used) and an almost new aftermarket Tan leather band. Watch is about a year old, and sells new on Sportys for $849. Functionally the watch is perfect. Cosmetically...

We are making great progress with our first year RV-12 Build! The kids and the mentors are doing great, really high quality work. We have completed the rudder, the vertical stabilizer, and are working on the stabilator. We have received and inventoried the Empenage and Fuselage kits, and...

We kicked off this school year with a new program. Tango Flight is based out of Georgetown Texas and combined a high school Aerospace Engineering class (www.pltw.org) with building a Vans RV-12. Take a look at the really nice article AOPA just published about our program...

About a year ago I was going through some of my grandfathers stuff (he passed away about 7 years ago) with my grandmother. We found a wallet that had a bunch of old membership cards. Elks, Rotary, army ID, etc. It also had his pilots certificate. My Grandfather had desperately wanted to...

I've got what is probably a dumb idea, but... My grandfather owned a J-3 Cub back in the mid 1950's (not positive on the time frame). I have a few old pictures that I'm able to get most of the tail number off of, but there is one digit that is blocked by the Horizontal, and I can not read...

Have a question based in a flight last night. I was flying into my home airport and my ETA was for about five minutes after the tower closed. I was on an IFR flight plan and I had been recently cleared direct to the airport. About 15 miles from the airport I got transferred over to approach...

I just got back from a dive trip to Bonaire. We flew down from IAH on United. I was tracking our flight on foreflight for fun, and while I don't have charts for Bonaire (does foreflight even offer them?) It did pull up information on the airport. I thought it was very strange that there...

I need some help/suggestions. We are planning a two week flying trip this summer. We will be flying our Cessna Cardinal (177) I need some suggestions on where to go. The parameters I have to work with are: Leave mid day on Friday June 27th from KGTU (Georgetown) Return no later than...

My daughter has a commercial flight out of IAH early Saturday morning in a couple weeks. I would need to fly in Friday evening sometime. Is there another airport close by that I could land at and reasonably get her over t IAH in the morning? Thanks, -Dan

Help please! I was less than 10 days from closing on a house in an airport community. Got a call from the loan officer this morning and was told that they would not be able to loan on the property because it is an aviation community that requires one of the property owners to at least have...

I need to get my Daughter to IAH in a couple weeks. She is going to fly commercial from IAH to Charlotte. Because of her age (13) I don't want her to have to change planes, and the only way to make that happen is to fly out of IAH. I could/might just drive her to IAH (about 3 hours), but...

Just saw this on the WSJ. FAA has grounded all AA flights because of a computer failure. -Dan

Maybe a dumb question, but I've gotten some conflicting answers. When can I log PIC time? I did not log anything as PIC until after I passed my check ride. Is that correct, or should I have logged any solo time as PIC as well? I swear that my CFI told me I couldn't log anything as PIC...

This is likely a dumb question, but I can't seem to find the answer. Is it legal to take five passengers in a four person plane? I.e. three adults, and two small children (i.e. about 40 pounds each). Thanks, -Dan

Took the wife and daughter for a flight last night for dinner. After dinner we went to fly home and I thought the engine sounded a bit off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. However, when I did my runup I had a large RPM drop on the left magneto. Looking at my JPI it showed no...

I'm sure this has been asked, but I couldn't find a good answer, and what I found was fairly confusing... It is my understanding that if I am flying "under the hood" for IFR practice my safety pilot (who is also a current licensed pilot) and I can both log the time I am under the hood as PIC...

I need some help. I'm based out of Georgetown, Texas. My wife has a birthday coming up in a couple weeks and I'd really like to take her somewhere for the weekend. She isn't into flowers, jewelry, spas or shopping, which is a good thing, but does complicate trips a bit. I could use...

My wife and I are going to be in knoxville next week visiting family. After that we will four days to get home to central Texas. I'm looking for any suggestions for places to stop on the way home. I'm willing to fly a bit out of the way for something worth checking out, so please share your...

I've got a yoke mounted garmin gpsmap 496. It locked up on me today while I was flying. I pulled it out of the plane and had to yank the battery to get it to turn off. When I put the battery back in it and try to turn it on it gets to the initial splash screen, makes a beep and doesn't get...
