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! 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!

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...

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...

So let's say, for example, I was flying into this airport and approaching form the Southeast. If I want to fly the procedure turn, how would I enter it? If I should enter where the procedure starts, and turn left to 224, how would I know I'm where the procedure turn starts? (Since there isn't a...

While watching airshows, I've always wondered how dangerous low-level aerobatics are. I've read articles and everything, but they're never written by pilots, so I was wondering if any aerobatic pilots had some input? How dangerous are aerobatics like Rob Holland does, for example? I've always...

I tried to solve this problem, and just wanted someone to check my work if possible? Thank you! Let's say ATC told you: "Hold Southwest of the VOR on the 210 radial. Right turns with two minute legs. Maintain 4000 feet, expect clearance at 1550, time now is 1510". You are on a heading of...

Does anyone know where I can find some holding clearances to practice drawing the holding patterns and figuring out the correct entries? I'm really bad with makin them up... Also, with the five Ts, when you put something for "turn", when do you turn to the assigned radial or it's reciprical...

I'm still really confused on what the HOTME acronym for a holding pattern means? Especially the O in the acronym; does that mean that heading/radial is the outbound leg heading?

If so, what do you think of your job? Do you like it? Are you away from home often? Any other insight/thoughts? Thank you for all of your help!

Are there any airshow performers that have made a living by just flying airshows? I know Rob Holland does, but are there any others? How much do they make? Thank you!

I've always wanted to be an aerobatic pilot and I'm having my first lesson soon! However this is my first time doing any form of aerobatics (lesson will be flown in a Pitts) and I hate rollercoasters...am I not going to enjoy this as much as I hoped?
