The lower plugs on our Cessna 172 (lycoming) keep fouling, despite an aggressive lean on the ground and even in the air. It seems like the mixture knob does little to reduce the mixture, then all of a sudden with just a half twist more the engine dies. The best analogy I can think of is that...

Laser engraved on a beautiful 8"x10" piece of finished maple, this plaque is sure to please the Warrior pilot in your life! Makes a great fathers day gift, solo flight commemoration, passing of a checkride, or simply "just because" it looks so darn good! Cost is $49.99 each, with an additional...

Laser engraved on a beautiful 8"x10" piece of finished maple, this plaque is sure to please the 172 pilot in your life! Makes a great fathers day gift, solo flight commemoration, passing of a checkride, or simply "just because" it looks so darn good! Cost is $64.99 each, with an additional $5...

Reports are a "hard landing", pilot killed. So sad. Spring is here, and people are dusting off their planes and motorcycles after months of being put away. While I make no presumption about this pilot's skill (or lack thereof) or why this crash happened, the sad fact is that there will be...

Seems that so many professional pilots "cut their teeth" flying cancelled checks early in their career. Nightime, bad weather, all the stuff that gives great experience with an ability to built lots of time. With most EVERYTHING being done online now, is there a modern day equivalent of the...

Not sure if this should go here in this area, or the classifieds.... About me: Been a long time "out of the system", although I fly VFR frequently and use FF on every XC. Partners in a Cessna 172, good access to the airplane. Based at KMHR (Mather) near Sacramento. Looking to get BOTH legal and...

I know this topic has been well covered, and I've read most of the threads. Thought I would seek out some area controllers for advice though, and anybody else who has transited the area recently. I'll be flying to compton airport from Norcal sometime next week, and will be on flight...

Seemed only fair, but it sounds like most grievances were aired out on the other thread. Just creating the appropriate place for them, I guess.

Didn't see a thread started on this topic, and I'm interested to hear what we as pilots can do better to make a controller(s) job easier. I know, I know "read the AIM" some will say....just curious to hear opinions from people actually working the other side of the mic. Thanks!

Looking at getting into a partnership, wondering if anybody has any leads out there....Cessna 172'ish performance. Mission is time building as quickly as possible. Not opposed to 152's, Cherokees, etc... Must be in Sacramento region. Thanks!

Looking at various job postings, all require a minimum "total time." For example, skydiving operations mostly want 500 TT with xx hours in a particular aircraft (like 182, etc....) My question is, what is "calculated" into the TT requirement? If I have 50 hours of rotor time, can that count...

Several years ago I started studying to become a CFI, but to be quite honest the amount of material seemed overwhelming. I printed out every task, printed out the reference materials relative to those tasks, and made quite a few lesson plans. In the end, I had 3 huge binders of material. I...

Somebody was bound to start the thread. Might as well be me.

Just downloaded it, and I LOVE the profile view feature! Surprised nobody has started a thread on it yet...

These keychains are made out of American Walnut, and carved with whatever you want it to say! First and last name, aircraft type and N number, etc...The Cessna keychain is 4" long, and the "Natalie" keychain is 4 1/2" long. Both are 3/4" wide. Single sided keychains are $13, and double...

Me: 310 hr pilot, CSEL, CMEL, CSES and IR. HP and Complex endorsements. Wanting to add hours quickly, as in flying up and down the state (California) on the weekends. You: Have a Cessna 172 or less, not flying much, don't like the idea of your airplane sitting for weeks on end unused...

Just like the high wing airplane wood signs, this one is made from pine wood and hand carved with a router. It's a bit larger, at almost 30" wide by 9" tall, 1/2" thick. The letters are 2" tall, and are OUTSET, instead of INSET. (The letters "stick out" of the wood instead of being carved...

I make these signs out of pine wood and a router, and can add any text that will fit on the board itself. They make a great gift for a student who just solo'd, passing a checkride, or whatever else you can think of. Also make a great sign for hanging in front of your home (ie "THE...
