    For Sale Introducing PocketATC, a new iPhone app for mastering ATC radio comms

    GA student pilots are one target market, and pilots training for jobs at overseas air carriers are another, so we've tried to include a broad range of content. We're working to add more GA content as well. Our purpose in including the larger airports isn't so much to prepare student pilots to...

    For Sale Introducing PocketATC, a new iPhone app for mastering ATC radio comms

    Yes, it includes approach, departure, center, ground, clearance delivery, CTAF, and tower frequencies, a little over 400 conversations now. It's a pretty good cross-section of flights, and we're working to add more.

    For Sale Introducing PocketATC, a new iPhone app for mastering ATC radio comms

    I hear you! An Android version is definitely a goal of ours if there proves to be a market for the app. Unfortunately it's an expensive process, and I'm more familiar with the iPhone, so that's what we tackled first. I hope I'll be posting again in the not too distant future to announce an...

    For Sale Introducing PocketATC, a new iPhone app for mastering ATC radio comms

    I've been working on a team including pilots and a former air traffic controller to develop an app for just over a year now, and I'm pleased to announce that it's now available. Back in 2015, I was just in the process of looking for a plane to buy when my wife and two kids and I ended up moving...

    Maule in Maine?

    Interesting, thanks for the heads-up about CG. Good to hear the seats are comfortable. It certainly does seem that there would be a Maule or two up here... hoping to find one to sneak a peak at.

    Maule in Maine?

    I'm considering purchasing a Maule but haven't ever actually seen one up close, so I'm trying to find one nearby for a quick look. Don't need to go for a ride or anything--just want a chance to sit in the cockpit and assess the comfort, space, etc. Anybody have one in Maine or know someone who...

    Low-wing capable of carrying four adults?

    Thanks all for the continued suggestions. Will look at the Mooney, Tiger, and Bonanza as well. I take your point about full fuel. At a minimum I'd like to be able to fly four average adults 3 hours or perhaps 3.5 hours with an hour of reserve left. Range/endurance beyond that is desirable (a...

    Low-wing capable of carrying four adults?

    Forgot to mention that--I'd like to stay under $100k. Thanks again for all the thoughts. Brian

    Low-wing capable of carrying four adults?

    Hard to argue with that logic. How does the Six handle? I imagine one advantage of its size is superior stability compared to something smaller? What about the tip tanks--how do they affect handling? What power setting and airspeed do you get at that gph? Thanks!

    Low-wing capable of carrying four adults?

    Many thanks for all the ideas, advice, and information. Lots to look into. One question: Which is likely to cost more to maintain, a Cherokee Six with its larger engine but fixed gear, or an Arrow with its smaller engine but retractable gear? Or are they roughly comparable? And does...

    Hehe. Well that would solve my XC problem like a charm.

    Low-wing capable of carrying four adults?

    The Arrow remains a favorite, if for no other reason than that I've spent so much time looking for one. What are your typical airspeed and fuel burn in cruise? How would you describe its pros and cons?

    Low-wing capable of carrying four adults?

    Fantastic, thanks for all the info. I'll look into some of these ideas. What is it? Not an Arrow I assume...

    Low-wing capable of carrying four adults?

    I'm looking for low-wing plane that can carry four adults and a full (or at least mostly full) load of fuel. Was thinking an Arrow since two of the passengers are teenagers and another is physically small, so we're only talking about a conservative total of 640 pounds plus the fuel. Is that sort...

    Airports recording CTAF transmissions

    With little fanfare, a newly developed "black box" device has been installed at a number of small airports in Maine to record CTAF transmissions. The system was developed following a recent accident at KRKD in which a departing aircraft struck a ground vehicle and subsequently crashed, killing...
