It was a diamond 40 from Blue line aviation. https://abc11.com/tag/plane-crash/

Hello POA, A few months ago I started a paid apprenticeship at a local flying club for my A&P. Its a fleet of of 14 aircraft. Mooneys, 152s, 172s and Piper Warriors. I've been checked out in all of the planes except the Mooney, but I'm reaching the hour requirement so I'll do that soon...

So far, everywhere I go I have used full service. Wether it’s just a fuel stop or fueling up at my destination airport. I’ve only done self service once in KAVL.. so I’m familiar with the process. As I look at my planned trips coming up, I would like faster turn arounds and also save a few...

Has been IMC most of the day. But nothing crazy. https://www.wxii12.com/article/rdu-airport-radar-contact-lost-with-small-plane/29528703 Hoping for the best..

not much details yet.. Wednesday night in Buncombe county - 1 fatality. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wyff4.com/amp/article/crews-respond-to-report-of-plane-crash-in-fairview-north-carolina/28196108 Thursday night a few miles south of Fayetteville. 2 fatalities. Pilot + 1 on the ground...

Im aroun 10 hours into my training and all is going well. I feel like another 5-8 hours with an instructor would get me comfortable enough to fly with a safety pilot.. but how or who decides when I can start flying with a safety pilot ? I have someone that is willing to help me out.. I just...

It might be a simple answer but I can’t seem to understand.. The instrument commercial book says: “The notation NoPT indicates that you may not perform a procedure turn if you are on that segment of the approach” In some plates it says NoPT literally right where a PT is depicted.. does that...

Went out today to fly some laps around the pattern. Wind was favoring runway 3. There was another C172 in the pattern with me. I took off from a touch and go and as I was crossing the numbers i looked down and there was a bonanza landing on 21. Base on field elevation and my altitude at that...

I currently work in the food industry with a very successful company in Raleigh NC. I make decent money and I would say I’m pretty good at what I do.(management) I am getting a raise/promotion offer in the coming months but I’ve managed in the industry for almost 8 years and I feel like it’s...

Ill be getting checked out in a Cessna 172XP tomorrow morning. I have never flown a high wing. ever. Very close to 150hrs, Most of it is in a DA40, some in a DA20 and a maybe 15 hours between a Warrior and a Cherokee. What are some things to expect? I know ground effect and the view is different...

I came across a C152 at a very juicy price. Good interior, minor hail damage and it is for sale by owner. I can do a down payment and then pay monthly for it (less than my car payment). The plane is still flying, it is air worthy and compressions are still good, paint is good, avionics are...

Completely off-topic but I've got a question: Husband-Wife have been married 27+ years Husband gets a mistress in another country Husband leaves the US to "vacation" for 2 weeks, Wife does some secret agent sh*t and finds out about this other woman and the real reason husband went to another...

As the title states.. A long (possibly my longest) VFR XC is coming up in less than 2 weeks and I will have the "luxury" of being dynamic with plans and return days(see my other thread). It's summer, almost every single day, everywhere on the east coast is scattered thunderstorms. I would like...

Example: Someone is selling a Continental O-470-4 near TBO but apparently still running when it was removed. The engine is being sold an a really low price.. think a few car payments worth. I did a quick search on parts for the engine and seems that it could be rebuilt for maybe half or even...

Was at Ocracoke the other day and a couple got out of a C182, unfolded two bikes and off they went. I know 182s have plenty of room so it would be easier for them to transport. I wasnt paying a lot of attention to the make or model of the bikes but thought they really cool! Seeing how helpful...

Someone posted this a while back , stating they had phantom "traffic alerts" on foreflight while using stratux. Yesterday cruising at 5500ft I got one of those. Traffic 500ft directly underneath me and climbing! It happened maybe 3 times in a span of 3-4 minutes. I almost right away remembered...

Whats up guys, thinking of going over to FFA Friday and staying overnight and returning Saturday. Has anyone landed there? I've heard stories about how windy it can be.. just looking for some tips or some personal stories Thanks!

VFR only here. I want to take a "longer" trip in the next couple of months but obviously being VFR only I have some limitations. As always, driving to the destination is always an option that HAS to be kept in the back pocket but I want to minimize this possibility as much as possible. I...

Forgot to post it a couple of moths ago but here it is now lol This was my 2nd time there. One of my favorite destinations so far. DA40 Edit: I can never get the angle of the gopro right...

So for my youngest sisters birthday we have decided to take her to Disney. The plan is to depart KPGV at 0700 on Nov. 23. (1200 UTC), stop for fuel just south of Savannah then continue south to KISM and approach from the west. Arrival time should be around 1200 (1700 UTC). Weather looked good...
