I am currently flying under Basic Med, but considering getting Commercial and CFI (already have Instrument). This would require a Third Class Medical. If I understand correctly, if I apply for a Third Class Medical and fail, my Basic Med is no longer valid. So I’d be grounded, possibly for...

Any KSMO IFR pilots know what the usual IFR Departure procedure is for Westbound traffic (KSMO to KSBA)? Thank you.

I’m a newbie at AirVenture…first time this year. I’ve heard the night airshow is spectacular. Any recommendations on where to sit to view it tonight (Wednesday)?

I am planning my first IFR to Half Moon Bay today (KHAF). I see lots of posts about the great restaurant on the field, but any recommendations off-airport? Are they walking distance, and if so, how far and directions? Is it easy? Thanks, Nor Cal aviators! Looking forward to our visit to...

Today I’m taking off mild IMC IFR from KMCC in Sacramento. There’s no Obstacle Departure Procedure and no Standard Instrument Departure. So with my clearance, will ATC tell me how to fly to the first fix (LIN)? Officially then, when there are no procedures, then is the procedure to climb...

Going to Vegas (North) KVGT tomorrow. Anyone flown in? Should I file IFR to be escorted in by ATC through the Bravo or just go VFR and hope for Bravo clearance? Looks like I can barely clear Bravo 2000’ AGL and sneak in VFR up against the hills…but not easy. Any recommendations?

Bose Deal Heads Up! As you may be aware, BOSE rarely has meaningful deals on aviation headsets. The A20 is the gold standard for noise reduction and I guess they don’t think they need to discount it. Well right now, they are accepting trade-in’s of their Bose X headsets for a $300 credit. It’s...

…is it GA friendly? Costs? Should I go to KMYF or elsewhere instead?

I’m flying to the Auburn, CA area for the day tomorrow. I need to rent a car. There are none available in Auburn…all sold out. Anyone know that area? Are there other airports where I can more easily rent a car and drive? There’s KSMF of course, but it’s far and I’m not sure if they are GA...

Do I read this correctly...most of LA's GPS including approaches may not work during this time period? If that happens, then what???? Or maybe I read it wrong? ttps://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2021/Jul/SCTTR_21-08_GPS_Flight_Advisory_Revision_1.pdf

I know it’s a long shot… Palm Springs, where I have a hangar, is way too hot for the next 3 months. I will be keeping my plane part time at KAVX outdoors, but am also seeking hangar space for 3 months at KVNY, KBUR, KWHP, KSMO or KHHR. Happy to share a community space. Any leads? Much appreciated!

Seriously considering this 206. Yes it’s a lot but it’s like new. Thoughts? Any 206 experts here? Need a higher useful load than my service as our 22.https://www.aircraftdealer.com/aircraft-for-sale-detail/Cessna-206/1974-Cessna-Turbo-TU206F-Stationair/78196.htm

Even though our airport (KUDD) has a steady stream of jet traffic, we only have a windsock...no AWOS / ASOS. We can use weather from KPSP or KTRM as a proxy, but often our wicked desert winds vary even a few blocks apart. Anyone know how much a basic system with wind and altimeter costs and...

I am considering relocating my Cirrus SR22 to KPSP or KUDD. I found someone at KUDD, but so far there's no one at KPSP... Any recommendations or leads? Thanks, all!

Anyone...anyone...Ferris? SR22 seeks hangar space near Palm Springs...KPSP...KUDD...even Banning (Thermal is a bit far). I’d consider buying outright or signing a lease... This area is booming...who knew? Last year there were options; this year, real estate, hotels, and airports are full...

No, it’s not $100 anymore! My buddies and I are always looking for new places to land in our 3 planes for lunch...with social distancing. We are thinking KLLR, but if it’s fogged in, divert to Ukiah. Any locals or others with insights or recommendations? We are coming from LA (400 miles)...

Hey POA gang...my friends and I have taken to flying our 3 planes to various airports with our spouses to have picnics where we maintain our distance and wear masks. For example, we’ve done KSBA Santa Barbara (the week before the beach closed) and last week KIZA Santa Ynez (which was...

I don’t know about you, but I’ve already lost my IFR currency and have no good way to get it back. Instructors won’t fly, nor do I want to fly a foot apart from a safety pilot. I do want to maintain my skills. Question: ATC lets us practice IFR approaches in VFR conditions (separation services...

Due to virus situation, I’m working out of my Palm Springs home and may just stay here (normally at KWHP near Burbank). Question...any guidance on best GA airport with good maintenance shop and hangar space (no way my Cirrus is going to sit out in 120 degree heat all summer). KUDD seems to...

Any word from the organizers on keeping or cancelling Oshkosh this year? Seems like most big public events like this are getting cancelled. Asking because I paid for a house...and have limited time to get a refund.
