I am working on a project for my business and need the assistance of a skilled Software Designer that can also design an App on the iOS system. The app designer isnt my main concern, but it will be a + if they can do both. This job is a flat rate (which can be negotiated) with options for...

Heres the deal, the bank i've contacted for the loan on my new plane tells me if I want the best rate with a 20 year note I must find a plane thats around 87.5K-90K which leaves the actual note around 75K (gotta put 15% down) My choices are this: Find a serious IFR plane already upgraded...

I took the wife up for the first time a few weeks ago to Shreveport so we could have a mini vacation. I chose the destination because it was close (1hr flight) and she loves to gamble. The flight to KDTN was slightly choppy and she sure felt every bit of turbulence. I did my best to calm her...

Hello my friends. I have a question for those of you who are mechanically (or radio) inclined. I recently got my plane out of the shop for a few small MX issues. An altenator belt change, postion lights not working and a some other non pressing items. After I got my plane back with a new...

Well, I did my first owner assisted oil change and my first oil analysis. It was really simple and im told that getting your oil sampled is a great tool. My results came back in and im having a difficult time figuring out what the results mean for me, the owner. It does say "Normal Wear" which...

Be warned that this write-up may offend you as it will explain that I'm not a perfect pilot and my DPE was refreshingly human. With that said, this is long and purposefully drawn out. I cannot be held liable for it not making sense. Please enjoy. Checkride 3/18/2014 ORAL PORTION The...

Passed my written and got all my requirements met. I have my check ride scheduled for this Friday, weather permitting. Did a practice checkride yesterday. Everything went great except 2 things, steep turns and turns around a point. Both things I do not routinely perform. My steep turns...

There was a similar discussion but it didn't answer my questions. So I'll go ahead and ask so away. I'm very interested in synthetic vision as a back up in case of spatial disorientation. Here is a link to a product that can offer synthetic vision on an ipad or android. I wonder if this...

I planned a cross country for yesterday from KGKY to KPEZ (via KACT&KBAZ) Did all the weather briefing and research. Flight breifer told me I was good to go, expect tail winds and clear skys till Austin, then the tops would be at 7,000ft. No icing is to be expected. Stayed at 4,500ft for...

Was flying under class bravo today and Flight Following asked me for my best speed.... I repeated the question because I was confused, hell... I was about to tell him the book numbers on my piper said it should go about 130 knots but before I could say anything he asked me to go as fast as I...

I have an android 7" tablet with the Garmon Pilot App. Was wondering what others have had success with in terms of yoke mounts? Thanks for any suggestions

Well I flew for the first time in 9 months and I was nervous I would not be able to pick up where I left off....... 1.9 hours later and 5 landings I realized that I had not lost any flying ability, just the confidence that comes with flying often. My instructor was very impressed with my...

"Flying coach can be a bruising experience these days. Rory Rowland said he was rudely rebuffed after he asked the person in front of him not to recline his seat on a red-eye flight. When he later got up to use the bathroom, and the other passenger had fallen asleep, “I hip-checked his seat like...

Well a storm ran through my airport last summer and messed a few things up, had to send the 235 to the shop to fix dents and wing. Finally got my plane back with fresh paint. Even got to add a few special touches like a "hulk green stripe" and logo. What do you think?

Hey guys, I was talking to a few non pilot buddies and it got me thinking because no matter who I ask they always bring up the parachute subject. Some planes have them built in so obviously they are used from time to time in that manner. I also watched a video the other day on here when a...
