I don't have a tablet, but I've been looking at a lot of them. iPad seems to be the favored solution for aviation and if you add magazines, quantity & quality of apps and ease of use. If one wants on-board GPS, they have to get the cellphone chip'd version. I'm looking to make this tablet my...

Greetings ! I switched from the print version to the online version with the hope of not stacking up piles of paper. The stack is gone, but I still find myself way behind on my reading. I have tried to read AOPA on my laptop... in a word, eh! Anyone have a better experience via tablets or...

Anyone out there using the AOPA's medical programs ? Opinions ? Here's a link to what I'm asking about: AOPA Medical Services Programs Would this be better in Flight Following or Hangar Talk ?

After 3 years, 8 months and 14 days, I went flying. KLHZ had a Wings Weekend at the airport. I hadn't planned on renewing my medical until after my annual physical with my personal MD. I got some conflicting information about whether or not I could complete the BFR flying portion with an...

Greetings ! I'm curious, if one using the 396/496 in "Car" mode do you still get all the nifty weather overlays & etc ?

We're all familar with cruise performace charts. I've always wanted to generate some custom charts based upon the POH's figures. The Cessna's that I fly have performance tables that are at even altitudes from SL to 20,000' (even higher for the T206H) with 3 temperatures. For a given...

In terms of logging, are IPCs, annual aircraft check-outs, BFRs & etc considered dual given ? What say you ?

I just noticed that NACO now has the A/FD out there in digital format. One cannot subscribe or purchase it on DVD yet, but I really like this idea ! http://www.naco.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=naco/online/d_afd

Greetings all ! Is anyone out there using Jeppesen Internet Flight Planner and/or FliteStar ? I like the price of JIFP more than FliteStar IFR.

I was at the FBO the other day and heard the reason the local school replaced their 152s with 172s was that the 152s were costing a lot to maintain. I didn't get to hear the rest of the conversation, so I thought I'd open it up here. What does the choir say about it ? :) Would you buy a 152...

A recent thread in Pilot Training debating Visual Approaches got me to thinking. One, let's move the discussion here so other IFR pilots can benefit and two, can a pilot initiate a visual approach ? My reading of AIM 5-4-22 & 5-5-11 leads me think that only ATC can initiate a visual approach...

I was looking thru NTSB archives at all the fuel starvation accidents, so that got me to thinking how is fuel planning taught ? Is seems like to me, most students get a plane with full tanks, never really fly near the distance to even worry about fuel planning in terms of endurance, power...

My nephew is coming to visit at the end of August. I thought it might be cool for him (and others) to get a tour of the operations and tower at KRDU. Has anyone ever done a post-9/11 Operation Raincheck ? Any ideas whom I should contact ? FSDO ? RDU Tower/Approach ?

I have the urge to visit the Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles (KIAD). Any suggestions for FBOs ? Are there shuttles that go there from KIAD ? Tips/Advice always appreciated.

The current (May 2006) AOPA Pilot magazine featured Cubs. I took a gander at the Cub website. The Top Cub looks very interesting, but I noticed the "IFR" equipped Top Cub is not "IFR Certified". Is this something the owner could attain ?

Is the Acclaim known-icing capable ? I couldn't find it on their website.

Greetings ! I've changed flightbags, so I have a Cencal Flightbag Tango up for sale on eBay. Here's the link of the listing. Same side pocket configuration as Flight Bag Foxtrot, but has TWO adjustable inside dividers that can divide across the width of the bag and adjustable the full length...

Greetings POAers ! Most of the used twins that I've been looking at (while dreaming about affording them) have engines that have large differences in engine times. What's up with that ? Is there a particular engine that wears faster than the other ? Like the counter-rotating one ? The one...

Awhile back someone was looking for an approach plate holder for their leg. I saw this at avshop.com today: http://www.avshop.com/prodinfo.asp?number=6897

Is there a good resource has all the specifications and differences between models of the Piper Seneca ? After all, we have Seneca I thru V. I presume there are sub-models within years of offerings as well.
