I'm 21 years old and I got my PPL in November 2012. Since then, I've run low on funds and I have entered my 3rd year of University. These two issues have prevented me from flying over the past 9 months. I still have membership at a local club but I am not currently allowed to rent solo because I...

Is it possible to fly a pattern in a 172 only touching the yoke to turn and using the trim only for elevator?

I have $100,000 to buy either a Nissan GTR or a cheap plane. I am a PPL. What would you recommend? EDIT: I'm 20 btw

Is this possible to do in a 172?

Do you base it on difficulty of the class or a percentage of the actual class cost? Typically I do 10%, but I would like to know what's the acceptable standard. thx

Let’s be honest for a moment here. If socially-constructed colonialist gender roles were reversed and women had historically joined the workforce and men stayed at home in the kitchen the world would be a much better place. For starters you wouldn’t have bankers pillaging the global economy...

Just found this recent video on youtube about a Bonanza losing it's engine on takeoff. What do you guys think...? Pretty scary, though glad no one was hurt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94IURXCoY5A More Details: "Three high definition cameras were mounted to my Beechcraft Bonanza when...

I am looking at the rental requirements for a flight school nearby. As a private pilot I am hoping to rent their Cessna 172, but they have a really high "renters insurance" requirement. Their website lists these requirements: #2 says they want 1Mil Liability and 50K aircraft damage...

I don't know if this has been posted here before but take a look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHrbOo-e9XY What do you guys think of this? Could the FAA get these guys?

I just got my PPL now I am practicing IFR on Vatsim with FS9. I could not imagine flying in IFR in IMC conditions without an autopilot to help me. There just seems like too much going on. How would I talk to ATC, intercept a LOC, turn, and descend all at the same time? Does this get any easier...

I am dreaming about winning the Powerball lottery this week and I was brainstorming what airplane I would buy. I think I would buy the King Air 350. What would you buy?

My FBO charges for the airplane by the hobbs meter. If I turn off the master switch during flight do you think that would be an effective way to save money? Of course I would have a transceiver to do my radio calls. EDIT: I'm not actually going to do this (it's a dumb idea). Just entertaining...

Hello everyone I would first like to start by saying my name is Will I am new here to these forums but I am enjoying it a lot! Today I took my Private Pilot checkride and I passed. Here is the writeup. I am 19 years old but I started flight training when I was 12 years old! I got a few hours...

I was wondering imagine if I was to takeoff from Boulder, CO in a C172. The airport elevation is 5,300 MSL. How much would you lean the mixture for takeoff? I train in the very flat midwest and the highest airport elevation around here is 1000ft MSL so I never have to lean the mixture on takeoff.
