Could someone recommend a FBO in NOLA to rent for an afternoon x-county day trip? Wanna take the GF to visit relatives, and a 3+ hr drive is not my first choice:D

OK, so last night I took My Lady on a peaceful evening cruise from FRG to KGON and back along the north and south shores of LI. Around 11:30 PM while returning my lovely passenger home in Manhattan, I see position lights hovering at the SW corner of 42nd street and Pershing Square at 80ft AGL...

Good morning All! The day finally came when my Instructor felt I was ready. I spent all week charflying my maneuvers, reading through the PTS 9again, and again)- Re-Reading, Tabing and Indexing the FAR/AIM, POH, PHOK & AFH.... Then plotting my x-country three times with different winds/Wx...

Anyone have any insight? Is it mandatory where the PIC sits when carrying passengers? Howabout flying solo? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

:mad2::mad2: So after spending the previous night and early morning planning the super most awesome Long Xcountry- I get to the school and my instructor will not sign me off for the "long one"- wants me to do another "short one" then a "long one"- whats the point? other than adding $$$ to my...

As I posted earler I had an experience last night during my dual XC- I noticed that I had to constantly check & reset my DG to my compass. It felt like I was doing it every 40-50 seconds...Is this normal? I already had a bad compass and bad VOR (s) in one of the rentals during a daytime XC...

So last night I took another XCountry Dual- so my instructor would sign me off for a "stage check" with another instructor. On my first second waypoint I was a little off and had to use dead reconing to find it (of course I recieved no credit for the effort:rolleyes:). Anyhow- there was a...

Good afternoon All- I am currently in the x-country phase of training and was curious to know how many trips did it take until your instructor felt you were proficient enough to get a solo x-country sign-off. I am curious and wanted to get a handle on budgeting for what appears to be an...

Hey Guys and Gals, Another question related to a prior post- When did you start getting some night pattern work in? So far I have soloed (including 3 supervised), but since I work M-F I would like to get "Sign-Off" for at least night time pattern work. I am thinking I want to at least...

So there I was, feeling pretty good about passing my FAA PPL written yesterday when I decided to get the 3rd and final "supervised" solo out of the way. FRG was active for the whole afternoon, and I guess when it was my turn to "get it in" everyone decided to come home from ___(fill in...

Good morning all, Been training out of FRG on weekends since last September. I am sooo close (at least in my view)- any tips for me if I get the not to take her up all by myself? Looking forward to trying on some "Big Boy Pants"
