RuggedAir RA900 headset with dual plug - no charge. Just pay shipping, and donate to a good cause. Many years ago as a student pilot, I purchased a RuggedAir RA900 headset off Amazon as my primary headset for flight training. After getting my PPL, this became my headset for my passengers, and...

After missing a few months of flight time, finally got my biannual flight review done and am ready to fly again. For many years I have used Google Nexus 7 2013 tablet with Avare + Avare I/O external plugin to connect with XGPS150a GPS unit for position data. That tablet broke a while ago and I...

TLDR - Looking for the triple flange style original rubber eartips for QT Halo. I've had the QT halo for about 5 years. It came with eartips of different styles/types - foam, rounded, triple flange. The only ones that fit my ear canal comfortably were the triple flange style rubber ear tips...

I have a USED Rugged Air RA900 headset that I purchased on Amazon roughly 4 years ago for $159. Here's a link to Amazon page that shows current price of $145: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00895EX7Y/ref=emc_b_5_i I used this the first 6 months for my primary PPL training about 75 hours. Since...

I have a Bose QC25 headset and thinking about trying out the uFlyMike. Not sure if they run any sales at this time of year... figured I'd ask here if someone has a lightly used one they might want to part with.

Last year I was visiting LA and posted here asking for recommendations for a good FBO/fun flight in the area. Ended up going to one of the recommended airports and doing a flight out to Catalina Island that was very unique and a lot of fun. So here I am, asking again... I'll find myself in...

Curious what people are seeing in their own areas for aircraft rental rate trends. Over last 2/3 years ... have they been mostly flat? going up? I live in Sugar Land (Southwest Houston) and the closest/most reliable place for me (where I also did all of my PPL training) has been steadily...

Find myself staying in El Segundo area, just south of LAX for the next 4 days. I will have some free time and would love to go up for a local (60-90) minute scenic flight. I've done this in other locations ... grab a CFI from a local school who knows the airspace and works the radios, while I...

Seems like we have quite a few IT folks on this forum with a wealth of experience. I'm curious if anyone is working for a company that is moving their applications/systems into the cloud - specifically using Infrastructure as a Service. I'd love to hear some feedback from people who have gone...

Just hit my 2 year mark since PPL and did my BFR. I've always wanted to get the HP and complex endorsements as well, but lack of time and funds is the main reason it hasn't happened yet. Where I rent, here are the rates (I live in Houston): 160HP Cessna 172N - $125/hr wet 180HP Cessna 172S/SP...

I hope this is the right sub-forum for these questions. Weather seems to be shaping up pretty good in SE TX towards the end of the week, so I'm planning a VFR flight from Sugar Land (KSGR) to South Padre Island. Tentative plan is to depart KSGR Friday morning, in a rental Cessna 172N. Return...

I've done this a couple of times on vacation (In Hawaii, and the Caribbean) - grab a CFI and a C172 from a flight school and go up for an hour or so of sightseeing. CFI handles the radios and helps with navigation while I enjoy flying and the scenery. I have a trip planned to the Lake...

While taking a quick lap around Discovery Green during lunch hour this afternoon, we saw a single engine high wing plane circling over George R Brown / Discovery Green, then over Toyota Center, and some other buildings in that general area. Looking at the TAC, it looks like at least some of...

Just wanted to post this out there as encouragement or whatever for many of the PPLs in training. It's been exactly one year since I passed my checkride. I was somewhere around 75 hours at that time, and in the year since I've logged roughly about 25 more. In the last year, I've had a chance...

I did a quick search but found nothing recent for flying into this airport. A friend of mine, who has flown with me a couple of times, wants to take his nephew over to the Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels. He thought it would be a nice experience to introduce his nephew to GA flight as well...

Got out there with a friend early this morning to take him on his first GA fight. We departed Sugar Land Regional (KSGR) just after 8AM and headed southbound towards the shore. I requested VFR flight following with Ground Control and advised I'd like to fly the south/southeast heading for a...

VFR Pilot here (~100 hours), typically flying 172SP or 172N models that are equipped with KLN94 or KLN89. Occasionally I fly the Skycatcher 162 equipped with G300. For local, short flights I don't typically find the need to use much of that equipment for navigation as the local sectionals are...

The flight school where I did all my training and still rent aircraft from whenever I want to fly has a requirement for Renters insurance when you're not with a CFI. I signed up for a yearly policy through the AOPA website on the day of my first solo last year in July, while still obviously a...

Just got back from a trip to Curacao in the Caribbean. Prior to the trip I got in touch (via email) with 'Falki Aviation' whose site I found in a Google search. I expressed my interest in setting up a local flight with one of their CFIs flying along right seat so I could see the island from...

So here goes my very first attempt ever at editing some of the footage I've captured into a 'music video'. I'm only getting started learning Premiere Pro and this was put together in just a few hours. I'll admit some of the light flashes, overlays, etc are a bit too strong and I intended to...
