    Had a "certificate action" taken against me.

    They decided to give me a new perspective on what I am allowed to fly. 2018-07-02_07-38-47 by , on Flickr

    Lawnmowers

    Small yard, and my lawn guy is extremely unreliable. I need one. It's small and flat so don't need to spend thousands. Listening to any suggestions...

    Moving to Dallas, TX. Property tax on an airplane?

    So, just signed a lease and we're moving to Dallas 1st of June. I'm in the market to buy an airplane, does anyone have first hand experience on how much they will rip me off per year in property tax if I own an airplane?

    Well, that's another ruined certificate :(

    This time thankfully it was the temporary paper one. No plastic was harmed... I got my instrument rating a month ago, so didn't have time to receive the plastic cert. Bit of history. I decided to get my ratings earlier this year. I asked here for recommendations for Atlanta area CFII's for my...

    Atlanta AME recommendations

    Need initial 1st, AFAIK should be a straight forward job.

    CPL cross countries - what's the point?

    For a commercial certificate, you need two cross countries with a CFI, one day, 100 miles, 2 hours. One night, 100 miles, 2 hours. Isn't this pretty much a waste of time? I don't really see what you should learn by doing those, especially because you still need the long solo XC which obviously...

    Got my ticket wet (almost literally).

    So, as I wrote on the other thread, I passed my IR checkride a couple of days ago, and did my first flight in the system yesterday. Today was the day to really get the ticket wet. Weather was great, just above minimums with occasional LIFR. Decided to go grab brunch in Athens, GA. So filed...

    They ruined my certificate :(

    What a long day it was! Let's rewind a bit first. A couple of months ago, I decided it's finally time to get my IR. It's been long overdue, I bought my C150 back in October, and one of my requirements was that it has to be legal and usable for IR training. I knew right away that I wanted a CFII...

    Hold east on 270 radial?

    Saw this elsewhere but didn't want to 7500 that thread. How would you hold east on 270 radial if the fix is the VOR?

    They really do talk to you...

    ...planes, that is. Before they fail. You just got to listen. No real lessons to learn here, just an anecdote. I know my plane(C150M) pretty well, I've flown 250ish hours in the past 5 months in it. I did a quick trip from Atlanta to Houston and back via Memphis. In Houston I got my first ever...

    DER or ASI approval for AFMS / 337 data

    Getting the GX55 GPS in my C150M approved for IFR. Everything else is done for the install, just need to get the flight manual supplement approved and 337 sorted. Should be an easy-ish process, Garmin/Apollo provides the manual template, installation uses a Mid-Continent CDI/annunciator...

    How to fly this approach?

    KCTJ West Georgia Rgnl ILS/LOC 35. http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1702/06016IL35.PDF You're arriving from the south on the 006 radial at 3000ft from LGC VOR. There's no NoPT, there's a procedure turn depicted so it is a mandatory part of the approach. So - let's say you are cleared for the...

    Positive feedback: Flying Colors Air Parts

    I ordered a R-543B glideslope receiver from them a few months ago. Paid $25 inc. shipping (for a part that some sellers/breakers think is worth $200+...). I didn't even open the box, I just gave it to my A&P with a lot of other stuff saying change this please. Well, it turns out they had...
