I got the attached offer my social media feed. Wondering if anyone has used pilotinstitute.com or reviewed it. Thanks.

Flying out of my local airport with the intent to do some pattern work (refamiliarizing myself with the PA-28 after flying a 172 lately), I took off, attained pattern altitude, received the call "extend your downwind, tower will call your base, #2 for landing" and I was suddenly unable to...

I was lucky enough to get in to KLAS VFR last year, parked for two nights, and got out VFR, and lived to tell and write about it. I'm going back to Las Vegas in about two weeks, and wanted to see if anyone had recent tales to tell, FBO unadvertised bargains, or any other useful info for...

Article here. I know there are a lot of San Diego pilots on the board. RIP.

I'm flying up to Tehachapi for a couple hour visit next week. Any local knowledge I need to know? I expect to get in before it gets real gusty, and I've watched the winds this week and I'm pretty comfortable getting out in the afternoon gusts I have seen reported. Thanks in advance.

After posting this question about VFR into LAS, and asking for advice on remote airfields here, I wanted to post a quick follow-up in the event anyone is interested. As a new PPASEL, I have learned quite a bit from this board and wanted to see if I could return the favor. The purpose of the...

I'm flying into Shoshone, a remote airport outside Las Vegas this weekend and I'm trying to decide where I will get my best surface winds picture prior to overflying to look for any surface indications of wind velocity. The flight from KCRQ will be just under two hours, and we will be in a...

New pilot, but I've been wearing some sort of eyewear in the field and at ranges in the Marine Corps for 23 years, so I've been through a lot of glasses. For the last couple of years I have been wearing inexpensive 3M safety glasses with flat flexible temples, and I decided to give them a try...
