I recently received my instrument rating this April. I would be due for a BFR at the end of this month but I understand a new rating restarts the BFR clock. However chatting with a local CFI, he mentioned that for a new rating to count as a BFR, it was to be specifically signed off that way in...

I've had my eyes on M20Cs, 201s, and if I could find a good partner, an older Cirrus or diamond. Never paid much attention the the beech stuff. The other day I decided to browse through debonair son TaP and was surprised to find many early models listed in the 30k-40k range. That seems like a...

I am visiting family in Chicago in a couple weeks. I am looking for somewhere I can rent a 172 to fly around Lake Michigan while I am there. Anyone know of any good FBOs/Flight schools that you would recommend. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok this is going to sound stupid but hear me out. Is it possible to convert a Cessna/piper/mooney to having a joystick? I'm not talking about re rigging the controls to have a center stick come up from the floor, but just attaching a stick to the shaft in place of the yoke. (Similar to the...

Saw this on controller. To good to be true? http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/DIAMOND-DA20-A1-KATANA/1995-DIAMOND-DA20-A1-KATANA/1358735.htm

I've always been a fan of the DA40 TDI. Was surfing the net and ran across this. http://www.planecheck.com/index.asp?ent=da&id=24423&cor=y Anyone have an idea of what the cost are associated with having it shipped/ferryd across the pond? No really looking to purchase in the immediate future...

I am in a flying club with a 172N. We pay a wet rate to to the club of $99 per tach hour. I'm trying to calculate what the ideal Cruising speed/power setting is to get the most nautical miles per tach hour. I know max range is achieved at max lift/drag (vg) which in this case would be 65kts...

I keep seeing adds for this. I wish the aviation industry would quit over promising and under delivering. http://www.raptor-aircraft.com/models/diesel.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

155kts true at 5gph per side. http://youtu.be/bvdIwNIDkbQ

Saw this on controller http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/DIAMOND-DA40-180-STAR/2001-DIAMOND-DA40-180-STAR/1297873.htm Seems like a great deal! Only real downside I see is that I was probably a trainer. Am I missing something?

Looking to join or start a 4way partnership in a steam gauge DA40. Cost per share should be 25k-35k and the fixed cost per month around $300 per member. Anyone interested?

A few friends are going to spend a day or two in San Fransisco. I'm trying to figure out what the best airport is in the bay area is with good transportation options into the city. Would love to hear any personal experience from you guys. Thanks!

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a used Bose X. The only alternative I can find for that price is a uflymic with a pair of qc15s. I've always flown with David Clark's and I want something more confortable with ANR. I might buy both since I already own a pair of qc15s so I could give it...

With costs continuing to rise in aviation, is experimental the future for GA? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got an email saying the the AOPA aircraft partnership program is being discontinude.

I'm looking for an ANR headset for under $500. I already have a pair of QC15s so I could get a uflymic for them for only$250. Or I could spend a little more and get a used X for around $500. Any thoughts? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I have been looking into purchasing an airplane. I want something that's efficient, at least as fast as a 182, and fun, and IFR equipped. The RV 6/7/9 and diamond da40 all fit my mission profile. I have looked into partnerships but I'm nervous about finding the right people to make a partnership...

While web surfing I came across the Pipistrel Panthera. I've heard if it before but never paid a lot of attention to pipistrel of the panthera. The first thing that stands out is the 200kts on 10 gph. That seems similar to a 2place lancair but with 2 extra seats. They also claim that it will be...

I'm curious about a few things. 1. How many of you guys actually use mogas 2. If you use mogas, where do you get it. (At your airport, supply in your hangar, etc) 3. When modifications have to be made to a typical lycoming to run mogas 4. Once your modified to run mogas, can you still run 100ll...

This might be a little off topic but I thinks it's a discussion that needs to be had. I saw on avweb that Aviat brought a CNG and 100ll powered husky to air venture. They claimed that it is 1gph more efficient than 100ll and costs much less. They showed the figure of a comparable $.85 per...
