Barn find on a M20D. Looks to be in fair condition given the circumstances. Literally kicking the tires on the thing... Searched the available mod kits from Mooney and didn't see the M20D conversion kit available, does anyone still make them?

I feel like this is somewhat redundant since if I'm writing a post on knowing when to quit, I've probably answered my own question... Yes, and... I don't want to! I worked so hard on my ratings and have always dreamed of being a pilot. I'd love a pilot career but with special needs kiddos in...

A prominent FBO at KMKC that has already receiving bad press recently has a flight school tenant that uses their ramp and services. They removed tie downs from the ramp to make the jets happy. They also happen to be hosting a hangar dance and as of this morning, the hangar was completely...

There are millions of people with the diagnosis, many of whom have managed just fine without medication. There are millions more who deal with it without a diagnosis. Yet whether you're on meds or not, or have EVER taken anything for it, the FAA thinks this is a really big deal.

I'm pretty sure I can go up with a CFII if my Flight Review is expired, I just can't log it as PIC. Right?

I've got about 350 hours under my belt, prior to divorce and Covid I was on the track to going after my commercial, CFI and then working towards my ATP so I could maybe do some big boy flying while still in my 40s. But all that has stalled. My thirst for aviation knowledge has waned, my...

Hi all - Flying a 172RG for a checkride coming up. Looking thru the POH, it has numbers listed for best glide and emergency landing airspeeds. What it doesn't indicate is if best glide is calculated with the wheels up or down. Through experience, the plane is VERY draggy with the gear out so...

Pasted from the Airline History Museum's Facebook page: Airline History Museum at Kansas City Wheeler Downtown airport, needs your help. Signature Flight Support wants to close the museum. Why...You might ask? Well we don’t know. We are written into the master lease and are a tenant through...

I feel like I should know this but it's always kinda bugged me that I don't know for sure... But when landing at my preferred towered airport which is a rather sleepy Delta, the same controller will broadcast on Tower and Ground freqs. So after landing, I'll get taxi instructions to parking...

Just curious. And by helmsmen, I mean men and women...

Took off the other day into a broken layer at 1500 AGL to begin a long instrument flight over an overcast layer. After take off, I was on instruments but configuring the aircraft for after takeoff, gear and flaps, adjusting power etc. Got into the clouds during climb out and immediately got the...

Yesterday cruising along the empty skies of Central Kansas at 9,500 catching a 45kt tailwind I was sitting happy as a lark in my C172RG at 170kts over the ground. I was looking out the window and began to notice my angle changing. It took me a second, I looked back inside to find my airspeed...

https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/appareo-introduces-electronic-flight-bag-app/ They acquired Aerovie a few months back and seem to have rolled out Brian's brainchild lightly tweaked. I will say, for flight planning the profile weather/terrain maps are fantastic and were the best part of...

For the first time in my flying days I have a medical certificate totally clear of any restrictions. I've been self-grounded during my divorce but this is a HUGE weight off my shoulders. Looking forward to clearing my mind and getting back up soon. It can be done. :)

Has anyone done their CFII prior to doing their CFI? This essentially makes the initial CFI an Add-on. I guess a lot of the big 141s do this but I was kinda shocked that it was a thing but I guess it makes sense. I can get my Commercial Multi with a single add-on if I really wanted...

I've been in discussions with a highly regarded CFII here in KC to complete my own CFI training. I work full time but I've proposed that the month of July that I would take time off work and do sessions with him 3 days a week for 2 hours per. I feel that over the course of a month I should be...

Practiced some 8's on Pylons in rather windy conditions (220 at 30kts) this weekend and had a terrible time. One thing that I noticed, as I turned to the upwind side, I really had to drop my altitude to keep the pylon. However, this big push on the nose really increased the RPM on the motor (I...

So, below VMC. If you are on a single engine you no longer have the control authority to override the turning moment of the good engine. What if the good engine is not a full power? i.e., you lost an engine on climb out and the ASI is fast dropping to the blue line, couldn't you just...

A Cessna 177 RG. Nice tail number, eh? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cessna-Cardinal-177RG/143195071151

Okay, here's where I'm at. CFI endorsement was 12/31/18. Did my oral on 1/1/19, got a letter of discontinuance due to weather. Failed a portion of the flight test on 1/6/19. Due to the awful winter with very few flyable days (tho I've still managed to log a respectable 18+ hours in 2019)...
