I am looking to sell my GDL39 3D with battery. I have had it for about a year, however I just upgraded to a plane with a glass panel and use the iPad for more trip planning than anything. I paid around $900 for it, it currently sells for $850. I am looking to get $650 shipped USPS priority mail...

I have a Sport SX with a Microair Avionics T2000SFL transponder. What do i need to get ADS-B? Can I just get the ADS600-EXP and call it a day? http://www.navworx.com/navworx_store/Experimental_Aircraft_Transceivers/ADS600_EXP.html Or would i need anything else upgraded or to get to...

I am currently in the process of considering purchasing a factory build Jabiru LSA that has the 3300 engine in it. However I have heard that the Jabiru engines have a bit of a black eye with cooling issues for the last 2 cylinders. My questions are: Is the 3300 plagued by these issues...

I am visiting Chicago for a few days for work from Connecticut and I was figuring I would ask if anyone has a recommendation or a contact about doing a sightseeing flight. I know its last minute and with the marathon this weekend it may not be possible to arrange last minute but I figured I'd...

I just want to confirm, I am applying for my medical to go from Sport to Private Pilot and I just wanted to confirm that when i apply through medxpress I do not need to select "Medical and student cert" as my SPL is sufficient to train for my PPL with instructor signoff?

I currently have my SPL and am looking to get my PPL in the near future. I have been looking at flying clubs in the area and so far 2 have caught my eye. They both have 3 planes and just over 30 members each. The first one is not an equity club. There is no buy-in, but there is a $600/yr...

Over the weekend I was coming back from Maine and was utilizing flight following. I got handed off to Boston Center and was approaching my destination. At about 10-12 miles out I had not been contacted about terminating radar services and frequency changed approved. so I waited for a break and...

I recently attending the Air Safety Institute "After the Crash" seminar and the presenter mentioned the CAMI Basic Survival course and that its free on a space available basis to all pilots. I was wondering if anyone here has attended it and if so what they thought of what the course offered. It...

I havent done much troubleshooting with this yet, however my last 2 flights I have noticed that the passenger's headset is quite sensitive and the noise gate will remain open quite considerably with normal cabin noise. The first time I didnt pay it much mind as it was just drilling a few holes...

...of the 4 legged kind. In a couple of weeks we will be picking up our Newfoundland puppy. I grew up with a chocolate lab and this will be my wife's first dog. So it should be an interesting experience. I've started gathering what we need but I figured I would see if anyone has any...

I purchased this watch as my little congrats for passing my checkride and in all honesty its a bit bulky for me. Its been worn 2-3 times and is in like new condition. I no longer have the original packaging otherwise I would just return it. So with that said I am looking to sell it. I paid...

I did a quick search and didn't see anything, but I just stumbled across this on youtube. Holy Crap. So many things wrong here I dont even know where to start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjrxfrr7oE8

First off, I am officially a Pilot. Started off this morning, I had the exam scheduled with the DPE at 9am, so I got to the airport about 8:20. I had flown at the end of the day yesterday so the plane had the fuel for the flight and was left pretty much ready to go. I already had my "piles"...

My student journey is coming to a close finally. I have the date and time for my checkride (hopefully I am not jinxing myself with weather or other delays now). January 11th should be my checkride. I've had a few mock checkrides and they all have gone quite well. The only area that is...

Good Afternoon I am currently going for my sport pilot and one thing that I keep seeing coming up fairly frequently is scud running and / or VFR into IMC. I figured I would ask a few questions on how to best deal with these situations in the event that I ever find myself in such a...

I figured I would break down and document my experience so far. I was never big into blogging, so bear with me on this attempt. A bit of background. I started my training about a month ago. I am training in Northampton, MA using their Gobosh 700s. I have been going about 2-3 times a week...

In the perpetual student thread (see also weekend troll thread) the Recreation Pilot certificate was mentioned. I knew it existed and figured it was just a slightly more limited Sport Pilot, but reading it it does appear to have slightly less restrictions on aircraft. With this said, is it...

Good Evening, I apologize if this is the wrong location for this post. After looking into LSA rental options in the CT area I decided to start investigating the option of starting an LSA club in the area. I have been working with a gentleman that currently runs a small club in the...
