Sad - was looking out my office window thinking what a nice day it would be to be flying, then saw this on the local news page. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/pilot-dies-in-crash-of-small-plane-in-temecula/

1 fatality. Wonder what happened. RIP Pilot. Edit: Looks like two aircraft were involved - a T28 and a Cessna.

Beech A36TC down in Sylmar, California. N136RM. Sadly the pilot did not make it. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Plane-Crashes-Near-Freeway-Sylmar-490678141.html

I'd love to request a favor of anyone going to Airventure: If you're by the Bristell display, would you please take a photo of the coil over shock on the nose gear leg? (A photo with the numbers on the coil spring visible would be ideal.) I just won't be able to make Airventure this year for...

Looks like a great landing - all gear intact and pilot and pax walked away. Engine out over ocean was the cause per the news. NBC Los Angeles Edit: Looks like it was N9337Q. To the pilot: Well done!

Riddle me this, POAers... If you’re a Sport Pilot, can you fly through some of the corridors through the Special Flight Rules Areas at the Grand Canyon? I understand that it’s at 11,500 altitude northbound, and 10,500 southbound. To add to the question: If you are ADS-B equipped, will this...

I've got a job opportunity that would mean a relocation for me and my family to the Pacific NorthWest (Bothell, WA area.) It seems the cost of living is pretty close to Southern California, so that's a "wash", though I expect that we'll consume a lot more electricity. For those that live up in...

So... is this becoming a "thing" now? I don't answer my cell phone unless I recognize the number because of the number of robocalls. My blocked number list is HUGE. Now I'm seeing an increase in the number of uninvited text messages. Not only on my phone, my wife's phone and my 10 year old...

So... have others "self grounded" for a while? A while being more than 3 months? Work has been exceptionally challenging as of late, and I've been working long hours for the last 6 months and dealing with a lot of work related stresses that I thought I could handle. Somewhere toward the...

I saw an advertisement for the Pacific Coast Avionics headset. It was intriguing because it was both ANR and had Bluetooth at $299. I'm interested in them because I need an inexpensive set for passengers. Anybody else try these headsets? And any difference between these and the Gulf Coast...

William Christopher passed away today. I really enjoyed his role on M*A*S*H*. Just seems 2016 couldn't end without taking out one more famous person. RIP Father Mulcahy.

How do you know you've sufficiently offended the seller of an aircraft? I mean, I've read articles on the internet that says that you should offend them, and if you haven't offended them, then you've offered too much. Since it's on the internet and it's published, it must be true, right? Then...

OK guys - need your input, especially those that went through purchasing an aircraft using various valuation services. I am looking at an aircraft to purchase (Sportcruiser) and values seem pretty varied. A call to AOPA's Pilot Information Center yielded different numbers from the AOPA Finance...

Wondering if anyone here is in Punta Gorda, Florida and willing to do me a favor? I am interested in an aircraft out there, but can't seem to find any recent photos. If someone is close by to Punta Gorda airport and can stop by for a look-see and snap a few photos, I'd greatly appreciate it...

Yeah, talking about a near "miss" (and not that I m'm near Mississippi or in proximity of a young lady.) The FAA defines a near miss as being with 500 feet. We were closer. A LOT closer. As in 30 feet. At an altitude of 800 feet. Not a lot of maneuvering room. And I could clearly see the...

Hopefully this post will be OK, but thought I'd try to help out my flight school by posting here. If not, please let me know and I'll remove. My flight school is expanding and is looking for a CFI (or a couple of CFIs) to help with the student load and demo flight schedule. The school uses...

Coming home late yesterday with the family in the vehicle, I found myself drowsy, but pushing myself to make it the 25 miles home. In hind-sight, I knew I wasn't operating at 100% and should have stopped at the side of the road for a short break, walk, or even beverage just to refresh for a...
