Just thought I would follow up with what I actually did. I ended up delaying my departure by 2 hours when it became apparent that the heaviest cells will have moved through the destination area. I planned a route to the south and east of the heaviest radar returns at 10,000. Once launched, I...

Planning a trip from KDAY to KBLV tomorrow afternoon and then on to KDBQ. The stationary front that's been there for the past few days raises the question of how much Thunderstorm and more severe weather risk there might be. What advice could I get about what to expect and what conditions...

Sorry for incomplete info. I am a A36 Bonanza and can keep 150-165 until OM if it's not more than light chop. For the reply that suggested against LDJ Linden, why. It's real close and I don't have to fight for a spot in line with the big boys.

Has anyone had experience flying into EWR as GA? Should I file IFR to avoid getting ignored? I need to drop off some passengers who need to connect to commercial flights. How much time should I allow for potential delays? Would it be smarter to fly into Linden and then have them cab over to...

Just about to take delivery on a 1990 A36 with a single Aspen Evolution Pro installed as the main AI and HSI. I am really looking forward to moving from the old sixpack to this new setup but wondering how many folks just have the 1 up configuration vs. adding the MFP for moving map. I have a...

Well, fly for an hour yesterday and repeated the set up. This time I got some weather returns. Not sure what I did differently. Having said that, Foreflight shows a "no radar returns" overlay when it doesn't have WIFI connections even when there are some ADS-B weather returns. It's...

I flew a 60 min trip at 7000 and still no joy. Foreflight showed 2 or 3 towers. So I think it should have shown something. The stratus was definitely connected to the Ipad. Is there Anyway to test that the Stratus is receiving weather?

Just bought Stratus 2 and upgraded to Foreflight 6 but I can't seem to get the ADS-B weather to display. Traffic shows up but there is no obvious way to turn on or select the weather options. Help?

I've been flying a normally aspirated Saratoga Cherokee-6-300 for a while and happy with it. It was a great platform to do my IFR and then build confidence and experience as a relatively low time pilot. Now that I am feeling more comfortable, I want to extend my trips beyond ~200 nm and the...

Just passed my IR checkride last week. I started at about 150 hours and just passed 215 hours. I waited until I bought and got familiar with my own plane. Particularly because it was 300hp and my PPL was done in a 160hp 172. I flew 50 hours with the PPL with a lot of XC's to get familiar...

Talk to Fran Neligon of Total Aircaft at KHFD. I had them do my mine and they were very thorough. (860) 278-9577 KHFD is about 15 miles from KBDL

Thanks so much to all the replies. This checklist is great but I am on the East coast. Anyone know the numbers for Canada for this side of the country? Also who/how do you contact the FCC to get a radio license?

I know that I have to get an FCC registration and EAPIS for a trip to Montreal but can anyone advise me on how to do this. Anything else that I should be aware of? How long does it take to get these done?

KPVC is out on the point of Provincetown and you have to overfly water to get there unless you follow the Cape all the way around. Not sure I recommend overflying water if you are solo. Besides the beautiful view, there's not much else. No restaurant or anything. If you want to go to the...

You guys are sad. You are obviously not based at field in a busy airspace almost under a Class Charlie with two flight schools and numerous transient aircraft coming in an out. On weekends, we probably have 3 or 4 in the pattern and several trying to keep up their instrument rating. Probably...

I seek to avoid the closure or Hartford-Brainard’s air traffic control tower, along with nearly 190 other control towers in the United States of America, which is currently scheduled for April 1, 2013. To accomplish this, I have created a petition on the website “We the People”, which is a...

I am early in my IFR training and my CFI and I have discussed different tools for CRM. For Instance a supplemental Pre-Flight checklist for IFR flights which includes checking GPS databased currency and recency of VOR check. I have also flown with pilots who use different scratch pads with...

I am based at HFD and got my PPL ticket at PFC. It's really the only option among the airports for instrument training if you want real IMC work. 4B8 Robertson, Simsbury and others don't have tower, ILS, or long enough runway for instrument training n my opinion. PFC was a good flight school...

I recently purchased a 1974 fixed gear PA-32. I have been really pleased for the most part but after about 40 hours with me and 2110 TT, I have been experiencing a couple of problems with the gear. First, intermittently, the starboard landing strut will remain in a depressed position about 5...
