Anyone know of seatbelt extenders compatible with a PA 28/181?

Hello, does anyone know of an A&P program in the Great Lakes area that are “weekend” classes? Thank you for all of your help!

Hey Everyone, I’m going to be flying in a friend’s cub tomorrow and I’m a bit on the bigger side. I’ve been losing weight but am about 5’2 and 220. Am I going to have an issue with the seatbelts? I’ve never flown in a cub so not sure what to expect. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, After a hiatus from school for a while, I'm considering returning to get my A&P certification. The only question is, the school I'm considering has both two programs (Associate of Applied Science Degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology or an Airframe & Powerplant Technician...

I just went for my first tailwheel endorsement lesson last week and while I am petty competent in takeoffs and taxing, I am struggling a bit with adjusting to the stick (from a Cessna) and getting the landing heights judged correctly. Just out of curiosity for those that have gotten their...

Hi Everyone, I am a private pilot with around 200 hours; all completed in the same aircraft, a Piper Archer. I don't have any tailwheel experience or stick time, but would like to get my seaplane rating. What would be the best airplane to get a seaplane rating in, given my experiences? Either a...

Hi everyone! Thank you VERY much for all of your great words and encouragement! To kind of make a long story short, there were some mechanical issues with the plane this morning, and we had to push the checkride to Monday! :( BUT I will definitely let everyone know how it goes! Congrats on...

Hi everyone! I think I need a little bit of encouragement here! I'm supposed to take my IFR checkride tomorrow, and I'm getting the 'pre-checkride' nerves! What was your checkride like and do you have any tips? :) Thank you!

Wow! I'm definitely interested in that! Do you know the name by any chance? :) If not, I'll do some research! No problem at all! Do you know if there are any in the Michigan, Ohio, Indiana chance that have a first officer program at all? :) Thanks again for all your help!

Thank you so much Billy! I really appreciate all of your insight! :) That's one of the reasons I was looking at medevac! I really enjoy helping people and really want to make a difference! I'm definitely trying to get up there in hours also! I still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there! ;)...

WOW! That's amazing! Thank you very much for all of the great information! That helps a lot! If you don't mind me asking, who do you fly for and where are you based? :) Thank you very much again!

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if there were any medevac pilots on here that might be willing to answer some questions for me! I've always loved aviation, and have wanted a pilot career. However, I was never excited about the airlines mostly because of their schedules. I've been...

I'm planning on going with my family this year, and was just wondering if you can walk around all the planes? (My mom really wants to see Bruce Koch's Vultee SNV-1 Valiant, she loves those planes!) Can you get close to his plane or is it usually parked on the ramp away from spectators does...

Hello, I'm going to be wrapping up my Mechanical Engineering degree, and have always wanted to work in the Aviation field. There's a college near me that offers courses to get your A&P, so I was thinking of getting it. However, is there really any money in it? What about if you open your own...

Thanks for the input everyone! To be honest, I can't envision myself working for someone else and having to answer to someone above me. (I've always been a "I need to be in charge" kind of a person no matter what I've been involved in). I've been fortunate enough thy my parents started their own...

I've always wanted to be a pilot, but I've started thinking about owning my own business (I've never wanted to work for someone else). Is it possible to start an Air Charter business/Maintenance business and turn it into a multi-million dollar company one day or is that unrealistic?

So I'm still trying to understand all of these approaches; we're getting to GPS and localizer approcahes and I'm starting to confuse all of them. So take this approach for example http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1412/00618V27.PDF You would go to the IAF, run 5 Ts, then fly a 087 heading for two...

Thank you very much everyone! One more question! I'm not sure if anyone was taught this way, but my instructor was saying if there's a final approach fix, you run the five Ts three times, and if there isn't, you run them twice. Where would you run the five Ts at? Wouldn't it be the IAF, when you...

Thanks again! I've been trying to understand all of these concepts, and I was just wondering if you could recommend a good website or book that goes into all of this on a detailed level with explanations/examples?

Thank you very much! That makes a lot more sense now! I had a major brain fart and forgot to enter an approach, you go to the IAF and then execute the approach. I just had my first approach lesson today and am still trying to understand all the basics. If you were to go to the FNT VOR to enter...
