I was deployed last year around that time but from what I understand that's when the snow starts returning. Last year started out unusually cold. Too cold for snow and we accumulated very little. It was almost 60 degrees out today though (unusually warm!) so this winter may be different...

I think I'd prefer something that can help me with instrument familiarization and navigation. Being a complete novice these are the areas I know NOTHING about. Controlling an airplane, at least in theory, is simple. I realize it's not that black and white but hopefully you guys understand...

I figured as much but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks guys.

Very nice, Warthog. Very realistic! :DI guess my real question is, if I do dish out the money for better hardware do I stand to gain any real improvement from it?

Interesting. I'm surprised to see special considerations for AK. Fortunately, finding time for night flights shouldn't be too difficult here soon. Good to know the cold isn't gonna put the engines out of business, too.

First of all, do they exist? I realize that on a high-dollar commercial/military level they do but obviously I don't have access to those. I've owned FSX for years and it doesn't feel very realistic. I spent an hour in a 172 and the real thing is not anywhere close to FSX. I don't expect to...

Because it's the aero club on base I think the rate for the 182 is a wet rate. Either way, I'll stick to the 172 through training. I have a few reasons for wanting my PPL. I'm looking to cross from enlisted to officer and holding a PPL may give me a fighting chance. As much as I want to do...

Anyone else have trouble with tapatalk? I can't post with it. Sounds like I'll be sticking with the 172 for a while. With the mountains around here the 182 will probably be a good xc airplane though. I'll get comfortable with the 172 first but the more airplanes I can try out the better...

And another quick question. For an extra 10 bucks an hour I can fly a 182 instead of a 172. Only one 182 and three 172s so I'm sure it's not always available. From stalking the forums the last few weeks a lot of you guys seem to like the 182s but will it be beneficial to me as a training aid...

Hi all. I'm located in the Anchorage area and I'm starting ground school next week. I'm excited and with the recent (hopefully temporary) dismissal of TA for military I can focus on getting this done. Not sure I could deal with work, GS and classes. Obviously, I wanna roll right into logging...
