Hi All, I have decided to sell my 1/4 share in my 1979 182Q. This is a nice place with a great partnership. Asking $45k. Reasonable operating costs shared among the group, excellent plane availability, and partners are totally just reasaonable, nice guys. See link for full add below...

Hey Guys, Quick question for all the regulatory buffs out there who go to sleep reading the FARs :) My 19 year old cousin died in a car accident last year obviously very tragically and unexpectedly. His father has organized a benefit with all proceeds going to his high school's athletic...

That day that every plane owner wakes up in a cold sweat thinking about around annual time.... It's the day the A&P says I have to start thinking about a engine overhaul. I have been having to replace cylinders on my O-470U frequently recently (almost each of the last 3 annuals) and now he...

My brother and I are planning on flying out to Cleveland to catch a sox game at Progressive Field on a Saturday evening then flying down to Pittsburgh the next morning to see another baseball game before heading home Sun late afternoon/evening. It should be a pretty fun trip and I'll definitely...

I was checking the fuel on my plane this morning before a flight and the gas cap was really stuck on. I think it was overfilled which made it impossible to come off. No problem, I thought- I'll just grab a wrench and get it off that way. Well I got more torque that way, but part of the top of...

As a usual course of practice I review the wx before I leave my house for a flight. Then I file. En route to the airport I always call for a wx briefing. I figure that it helps to have someone else look over the wx and see if I missed something. However, I think sometimes they limit their...

I know there are tons of biz owers, and I'm sure HR guys/gals here, so I figure I'll see you POA has the secrete. I own and operate a small independent pharmacy/medical supply company. We do a lot of deliveries to customers and need drivers to get my stuff out there! I'm having the hardest...

I have been a iPad in cockpit user since I got my instrument rating around 6 years ago. I use it mostly for approach charts, AFD info to brief on frequencies and local procedures, and of course en route maps, etc. I like to keep my eyes outside or on my certified instruments so I don't play...

What FBO do you guys recommend @ Islip? I'm dropping off some passengers there on Sat early am and need the following: 1. Drop off only so ramp parking for 5 minutes total if I need a bathroom break, less if not 2. Rental car for passengers 3. Lowest price for ramp fee/rental car...

It all started about 8.5 months ago. My wife told me the good news- we are expecting our first child. I was beyond excited about it, but I knew that being the future father I want to be I won't have a ton of time for training once the new one arrived. So that day I decided I was going to get...

Chris Cornell has committed suicide Tough day.... Have any thoughts about suicide and mental illness you want but it's sad any way you cut it. I grew up with grunge. Alice in Chains and Soundgarden were and are my 2 favorite bands growing up. Those bands made me love music and made me...

http://www.fox25boston.com/news/msp-plane-crashes-into-building-in-methuen/498297580 Initial reports say single engine taking off at Lawrence flew into a condo complex. Praying for a good outcome.

I am working towards getting all my requirements done for my commercial SEL rating and had a question: According to 61.129(4ii) A Commercial Single Engine Candidate is required to have logged "5 hours in night VFR conditions with 10 takeoffs and 10 landings (with each landing involving a flight...

It's that time again! We are planning another fly in on Sunday, Novemeber 20th for POA members and @PilotRPI's newly created facebook group. Date: November 20th Time: Noon Location: Either KBID or KGON depending on the size of the group. If we end up with a bunch of people coming we will go...

No, no I'm not making a thread bashing the mission... I'd really like to do some more meaningful flying and I figure it would be great to be able to help out a few dogs. Especially since my wife is the biggest dog lover I know and we are both big believers in rescue dogs. I think it would be...

I am inspired by the threads in the other parts of the country where they have a fly in lunch or whatever... Any interest in doing that around New England? There is plenty of POAers out this way and it would be cool to meet up, have some lunch, enjoy some hanger talk and check out each others...

My #2 radio died this weekend. It's an old Narco so unfortunately it's probably not worth fixing. Anybody out there got a 28V radio w/ nav they would be willing to sell me? I'm probably going to need to pair it with a CDI as well so if you have one of those lying around too.... Let me know...

Quick question- I just got 2 cylinders overhauled on my o-470u. First flight with them today I noticed my CHT showed cylinder temps higher than usual. Not red line but closer than I was used to. Anything to worry about or normal when the cylinders are breaking in?

I have been reading 61.57c(4) and my head is spinning.... Maybe some of you smarter people can help me out. Assuming the following situation: 1. I shot 3 approaches with a hold in actual in a airplane on March 15, 2016 by myself. I was obviously IFR current then. They were legal IFR...

Since we are on the topic of compression readings... I have a 79 182Q that has a Cont O-470U. For the last 2 years at annual, I have had to replace a cylinder each year due to low compressions. This year it is 2 more (total of 4 cylinders in last 3 years). My engine is about 15 years and...
