Could you send me a PM? Need some info.

I assume they just call the TRACON associated with that airport and get permission assuming it is a legitimate reason. Do they need to do the online ADSB exception form as well? I don't think that covers the lack of a transponder. Do you need to do both? Is it possible to go in as a flight and...

Listening to live ATC and watching ADSB. From what I could gather sounds like a plane down in the trees. Said something about 500' off the runway. Anyone there have any more info? From the sounds of things visibility is crap. There aren't many trees around so maybe that is just a tower...

I am looking for a couple of ready to install either rebuilt or new cylinders. Let me know if you have any.

Does anyone have experience with making a claim against another parties insurance company? How do you calculate these values for private aircraft?

Other than AC 43.13-1B, AC 20-37E, MacCauly SB 176E are there other documents that cover propeller repair specifically repairs to the tip. The documents and diagrams talk about dressing out nicks dings and dents in the propeller body but the only specific language I can find about tip repairs...

With Oshkosh approaching wondering if they are going to announce anything? I had read somewhere that LPA was scrapped as being overly complex.

I see people trying to sell items for example headsets (but could be anything) a few years old and used for 100-$200 dollars representing 10-20% off the cost to buy new. I am as cheap as they come and can make Lincoln scream I pinch my pennies so hard but seriously buying used to save 10%...

Good friend who happens to be my PCP called yesterday and asked if he and his wife could stop by the house. He gave me some bad news..... He is retiring at the end of May. :( So I think I am going to schedule a Basic Med physical for the middle of May even though I had one last year and kick...

One of the airports I frequent shares a radio frequency with a Canadian airport. Those guys and gals give the longest transmisions. "This is Cessna C12345A a Cessna 172 built in 1976 AD she is white now but was originally blue with orange highlights. We are at 3000 feet heading North to the...

Just heard Mike Patey call OSH coming out of Appleton asked if he could go direct to OSH. Rather than go all the way around. They told him to contact the tower so I guess it doesn't hurt to ask. There is no other traffic right now.

Crop dusting under the Fisk arrival during OSH.

Do you have to buy your tickets and camping in advance or can you just pay when you get there? I want to go but the decision will likely be last minute.

So I was flying in to my local airport the other night. They let RC guys fly there a lot and generally we have no issues. So as I call on downwind I hear on the radio, "Ok Cessna clear to bring it in." So I do a full stop taxi round and take off again for another landing. On downwind I...

Finally had a local fly-in breakfast here. Along with the helicopter pilot giving rides explaining over and over on the very busy radio frequency why he was flying right traffic. Then there was "182 guy" flying a straight in approach when everyone else is trying to get in and out in a regular...

think what did I do this time to tick someone off? :D

I was having a conversation with my insurance broker the other day on the topic of non-owned insurance. I have carried a separate policy for non-owned because my the insurance on my airplane doesn't cover it because it is a co-owned airplane. He said the non-owned insurance rarely or never...

Trying to weigh the risk of using my UAS cert. at work where I would not be compensated outside of my normal salary. Not sure how this works but not sure I like the idea of risking my PPL for work related drone flying. So lets say a person has a PPL and UAS cert. The person has an accident...

It was a great reminder of how lazy and set in our ways we can become. Learned a few things as well. At times it felt like a work out I think I even broke a sweat once or twice. :D Flew with the instructor I used when I got back into flying six years ago it was the first time I have flown with...
