Offering up my share of a 1975 piper arrow hangared at Hagerstown, MD. Plane just went through annual this month and is good to go. IFR certified Includes money in the bank for engine reserve fund. Stratus ESG transponder with integrated 2i for transfering information to the iPad. (I'll get an...

As we get closer and closer to the 2020 deadline, I find myself wondering, Can controllers (tower and/or enroute) see a difference between the blips on the screen if the aircraft has a standard Mode C XPONDR or an ADS-B OUT XPONDR? Thanks in advance!

Excluding the guy with hundreds of thousands of millions of hours, what makes an instructor good?

Tried searching for this but surprisingly couldn't find anything (recent that is). My partnership is looking at adjusting the hourly (TACH) rate for our engine reserve. What I'm trying to do is figure out an overhaul cost for our engine. It's the 200 hp Lycoming IO-360-c1c engine in our Arrow...

So we have the 2016 year in review thread. What all flying/aviation goals do you have for 2017? Mine are: Pass the Commercial, CFI, and CFII checkrides Get a job getting paid to fly (instructing or other) Maybe cross the 200 hour mark in the arrow? Met a guy at the airport yesterday who works...

Looking for recommendations for places to get the required spin training for the CFI license. I want a place that isn't just some instructor giving the sign off. Looking anywhere from PA down to NC. Big area, I know, but I have family scattered about. If you have the cost estimates that'd be...

So I was doing a flight today (ifr in vmc) and heard a guy on the radio give the controller location on a flock of geese. Within the next 15 minutes I saw a flock off to my 3 o'clock. There were about 3500 msl (about 3000 agl). I don't think they were the same ones the other guy had reported. I...

When flying on an IFR flight plan in VFR weather you are expected to see an avoid just like you were bumbling along not talking to anybody.... On my flight today I was flying at 6,000. There was a decent amount of haze and smoke. About my 11 to 12 position I notice a dark spot in the near...

Tomorrow looks like a beautiful day up and down most of the east coast. So where should I fly to? I want between a total of 4 to 8 hours of flying time. Departing from north Central maryland. Any good restaurants recommendations or fun sightseeing type places right on a field? Cheap fuel is...

Welp, thought that I might as well start my own thread like denverpilot did. My plan is to get my Commercial, CFI, and CFII by the end of January. Hopefully I can schedule the commercial ride before Christmas, and finish up the CFI's after. Some background: I got my PPL back in 2014, Instrument...

The new show 'BULL' is on its second episode tonight. The show follows a guy who does trial/jury science to figure out to help his clients win. His client tonight is a pilot who lost control of a commercial airline in windshear killing all but herself. It's slightly interesting so far.

Title explains it all. Headed to KGAD (northeast Alabama regional, Gadsden, AL) to take my brother to pick up his truck that broke down. The trip one way is 520+ miles and will take just over 4 hours non-stop. I'll stop at least once for fuel. The arrow has 50 gal and burns 10/hr. I'll probably...

Attached is a picture of the loading graph to figure out the moment of our arrow. My question is: where the diagonal lines stop, is that the maximum amount of weight allowed in that particular area? Or can you extended those lines provided a) it's not specifically prohibited (like in the...

Since dad and I have been stuck in the milking parlor together a lot lately we've run out of things to discuss, so we start talking about planes and how fun it would be to get a grass strip on the farm, we have a great place where we can get 2,000 ft. Easy. I'm the first person in my family to...

http://onwardstate.com/2016/06/16/small-plane-crashes-at-university-park-airport/ Piper Navajo carrying two people crashed yesterday morning. Article says the tower saw smoke coming out and couldn't get them to talk. Makes me think maybe an electrical fire? Sad even none the less with both...

I'll call tomorrow for the typical fuel prices/availability and any landing fees but thought I'd get some input from you wonderful folks. I might be doing a flight on Saturday to take a family member to pick up their new car. They'll be going to Mt. Laurel, NJ. KVAY (south jersey regional) and...

I feel like this was discussed earlier but my search-foo is failing me. Since I have nothing better to do is there anyway to figure out when you'll get your new (permanent) certificate after a checkride? I know they say it can take up to 6 months, where can I narrow that down a little.

http://www.ldnews.com/story/news/2015/12/22/aircraft-down-jackson-township/77774882/ Just happened today (Tuesday) around 5 30 from Deck airport (9D4) Injury severity of the 4 men not known yet. I was even thinking about flying up there today or tomorrow. Thoughts/prayers to all involved.

Title says it all. Had a rough mag, turned out to be a spark plug was cracked. So what causes it? And how long do plugs usually last in planes?

Of instrument rate pilots! Passed my checkride today. Was a really good day. Thanks for all the help on the forum! Can't wait to put my new rating to use (in a safe manner of course). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
