I've returning to flying after a ~3 year hiatus. I've been sticking with the PA28 thus far to keep everything consistent. I've been checked out in everything from a C152 to a PA44 in the past. Considering I'll probably need to limit my hours going forward, I'm debating the utility of faster...

I'm flying into KTUL for an Angel Flight (KTUL-KAPA) later this week, looking for FBO recommendations. Also, I'll be flying in the day before, any cool sights to see in the area?

I was IFR from KBJC to KRAP earlier today. Shortly after being handed off to ZDV I hear the following exchange: Pilot: Center, N123AB request direct my wife. Controller: N123AB cleared direct Crazy Woman Some other pilot: that's awesome. Maybe I'm easily amused but I found that...

I've had a couple cases now where I've received a visual approach clearance prior to reporting the field in sight. Not a big deal, flying to the LOM and intercepting the LOC is easy enough. I had ASSumed previously the controller had to verify the pilot had the field in sight prior to issuing...

There is probably something very simple I'm missing, but... KSTC ILS / LOC 31 indicates that ADF is required. http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1403/05799IL31.PDF Given the existence of the on-field VORTAC, I'm wondering why ADF is required, when one can identify the FAF from DME (STC 5.7)...

I flew a 182RG from KBJC to KABQ today. As usual, I utilized flight following. My route was KBJC LUFSE V389 PUB V611 FTI V60 OTO KABQ. Given the winds, I wasn't about to go into the mountains. As it was, it was a bumpy ride and I spent a lot of time at Va. Anyway, once I got the handoff to...

I'm looking at Cirrus transition training to get into a FIKI equipped SR22. While the 172 and 182's work great in most cases, having the FIKI capability would be helpful to increase my dispatch rate. I've run into several cases these last few months where I've had to divert, cancel plans or...

I'm looking to fly KBJC to KHND soon. What kind of altitude will I need to receive flight following from Denver Center over the cumulogranite? Will the MEA listed along V8 be adequate for that purpose?

I wanted to get some advice from those here, as I know quite a few of you are in IT related careers. Prior to working 15 years in health care, I was going to school for computer programming. The short story is, I took an EMT course and managed to get myself off track. :wink2: Fast forward...

I have access to a number of different rentals, ranging from $70 - $145 hour at one airport, plus a second airport with many more that range from $99-150+. I have the fortunate situation of not having to worry about having an aircraft to fly in most cases. The bigger issue for me is...

Well, after looking into several options I found one that might work out for me. A couple issues though, first it's about 800 miles away. I'd feel a lot better if I could look at it with my own eyes. Secondly, it's out of annual by several months. Not the end of the world but that would have...

I'm doing some plane shopping and am leaning towards a PA-28 with the 160hp STC. I'm aiming for a plane that will meet 80% of my mission: solo XC flights within about 300-350 nm. I figure I can always rent a 182 if needed. In looking around, it seems I'm able to get a bit more for the money...

A few days ago, I decided that aviation and firearms weren't putting enough of a dent in my bank account. So, time to start this ham radio thing. I studied the material for technician and the practice tests were up to 32-33 of 35 within about 24 hours of studying. So yesterday I started studying...

Any ideas on what would cause a complete loss of the ability to transmit? I've tried swapping out headsets, using different radios, using different headset jacks and the ship's mic. The mic results in unreadable, very faint communication, using the headset plugged into either front headset jack...

I know there are a few places offering such a thing in the Denver area, any recommendations?

Just looking for opinions. How many hours per year are needed to stay safe and proficient? To compare apples and apples, let's call this a ASEL VFR only pilot (no instrument rating, etc), flying a typical C172, PA28 or similar aircraft generally known to be docile?

Disregard...

Going to be flying to KAMA next week, barring wx issues. It looks like there are quite a few things worth checking out; any recommendations?

Dear POA, Ever since GauzeGuy started instrument training, he has forgotten how to land. My landing gear is sore. Please help him. Signed, Skyhawk 53432
