Bought in 2015 and really just never used them. They've been sitting in a closet for 4+ years and it's time for them to go. $235, including ground shipping in the US Yoke & Throttle is part# PZ44 & Rudder Pedals are part # PZ35. Thanks!

I have 26 IFR Magazines (logo attached) that I hate to just throw out. Does anyone want these? Media mail should be less than $10, depending on your zip code. They are from 2016, 2017, 2018, though some issues from each year are missing. If you're interested, please PM me with your zip code...

Pretty cool pics, video, and article from Popular Mechanics: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a25644519/five-fighter-jets-fly-in-formation/

Nope, not me. I recently interviewed someone that has a recent DWAI. I'd never heard of this before, but here in Colorado (and NY from what I understand) one can be charged with a DWAI (driving while ability impaired) between .05 and .08, at which point it's an automatic DWI. For a lot of...

I departed KADS on Saturday for a quick flight to the east. For those not familiar, KADS sits below the KDFW Bravo. I departed and was out of his airspace within a few minutes. About 5 minutes later, he gave me a traffic alert (already had them in sight) and a few minutes after that, gave me...

I've done a bit of actual with an instructor, even after my IFR Checkride, but yesterday was the first day I went up by myself. A lot of fun, and pretty uneventful, but I made a couple of observations: 1) And while this is obvious and well-known, I really understand just how quickly VFR pilots...

I got an IR last year, but only recently started doing actual trips, rather than quick sightseeing or $100 hamburger trips (BS, by the way, more like $300 hamburgers these days). Lately, I've made it a habit of always filing IFR, which has been a lot of fun. But there is something that keeps...

This afternoon, I was headed back to Addison and had made my initial call to regional approach, who gave me a heading and altitude (3,000) to fly. This was the bottom of the Class B shelf. I was about 3 miles from the point where the Bravo shelf starts at 2,000 when she handed me off to...

Well, after getting LASIK done 15 years ago at the age of 30, my vision has finally slipped enough to get the Corrective Lenses limitation when I renewed my medical yesterday. Not that I've felt comfortable flying without glasses for a few years now, but at least I could live in denial about...

Well, probably not, but we just got back from a weekend trip to a bunch of junk mail, addressed to someone we don't know, for various mortgage protection services, security services, etc. The usual stuff you get when you buy a new home. But... we've lived here for over 15 years and have never...

About that time to do my 3rd Class Medical again, and I have a few questions: 1) I'm on hypertension medication and had to send a simple form to the FAA last time showing several days of BP readings and signed by my doctor. No big deal, and I never heard another thing. Will this have to be...

I recently finished an instrument rating in a traditional cockpit, but am finding rental options limited, as I'm seeing a lot of G1000 out there. I initially did steam on the recommendation from people saying that it would be more difficult to transition back to steam from G1000. What about...

Or, at least, not failed! Overall, it wasn't nearly as bad a checkride as I've heard about, and to be honest, I really feel that the DPE worked very hard to make sure that I passed. Not in a bad way, but I think he could have justifiably failed me if we wanted to. After the paperwork, the...

This has bothered me for quite a while, which I figure means that other people have the same question, but are afraid to ask. Or not. But, whatever.... These were around the DFW area on Sunday. What, exactly, constitutes a cloud that you would stay away from? I get the typical 1000, 500...

I am wrapping up my IFR training and have been caught up in a nasty weather cycle in the Dallas area. In the last 14 days, I've managed to get about an hour in the sim (red bird) and the forecast for the next 10 days is looking like a lot of the same. That, along with the fact that lots of...

So, I passed my IRA Written today with a score of an 85. I'm very satisfied with this score and I wanted to pass on my experience, just in case it's of value to someone. I started flying in 1987, when I was 17. Good luck with the math on that one! As expected, I had all the time in the...

Recently got back into flying and am actively working on an IFR. The place that I'm flying out of sent an email that they are converting to a flying club in a few weeks. $50 upfront and $30/mo for existing customers. Rental rates will stay the same for members, at least initially. The rates...

I'm getting back into flying after a 12-year absence and have decided to go straight into instrument training. I had my PPL for about 6 months before stopping and have less than 100 total hours. One of the books that I purchased back then was the 2001 edition of the blue/gray Jeppesen...
