    My ass hurts. C-172 seat cushion replacement options?

    Late 1970s C-172N with factory seat cushions. I'll put it bluntly -- the seat is factory original and after 2,500 hours it is shot. The good old stuff a kitchen chair seat cushion on it works fine, but, is annoying. It's in good shape cosmetically but just flat. What is the least expensive...

    IFR training without GPS? (VOR, DME, glideslope only)

    What are your thoughts on starting your instrument training and taking your checkride in equipment that only has DME, VOR/glideslope, ADF? Notable, there's no GPS/RNAV. There is only one ILS approach within 200 miles. Is not learning GPS and other later technologies doing a disservice, or...
