    Uses for plastic certificate.

    I own the local brewery here and we're happy to accept a PPL license as ID. I personally use my concealed carry permit but as a Vet, I'm weird like that.

    Poll: Are you over or under 170lbs?

    I put no as well but if it were 175 lbs. I would have answered differently.

    Ft. Lauderdale, Fl highway landing

    KPMP to KMIA is 29 nm. He landed right between the two. There are 5 airports on this route, not to mention the dozen north before you get to PMP. 2nd fuel exhaustion emergency landing around here in less than two months. Hard to have much sympathy when there's alternates everywhere. Too...

    Flying into New Orleans

    Skip Bourbon and go to Frenchmen's St. Spotted Cat, etc. Much better music and food. Jambalaya at Coop's is not to be missed but go early.

    Plane down on the beach

    Just got back from the FBO. The guy ran out of gas. They even told him before he left and he didn't get fuel nor did he fuel up in Pahokee. They totaled the Cessna so they're getting another one. I'm being told he won't have access to it.

    Cargo Loading for Mooney

    They are folding bikes (Citizen) and about the size of a Dahon. I've got no issue going in through the main door if they fit that way. Hope the one I select has the removable seats. Sounds like maybe the F's recline and the J's come out. I'll research that more and check out mooneyspace...

    Cargo Loading for Mooney

    I'm considering the purchase of a Mooney. F or J model (I like the stretch). When the wife and I travel, we take folding bikes. I've never loaded through the high door (been flying an Archer). My question is, is it a pain? The bikes are about 30 lbs. each. With two of them and a couple of...

    Plane down on the beach

    I fly an Archer owned by Skywalker Aviation at LNA. It was their Cessna. The guy had flown out to Pahokee and over to Jupiter and was headed home. Plenty of fuel for that trip unless it wasn't checked. I'll update when I hear something.

    Best Passenger Headset for the Money???

    I use the Faro G2 ANR for passengers and they work well. Not $60 but not Bose either. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060NOZO8

    Charlotte to Southeast FLA (KLNA)

    I fly out of KLNA. Gets busy at times with trainers, especially helicopters. All runways are active so CTAF can be more help than AWOS as some folks are doing whatever they feel like it. I've been inbound and heard calls on final for 15 and 33 minutes apart. I generally call the FBO on my...

    BFR after 2.5 years of no flying...

    I took 22 years off. Airspace was different then, no gps, etc. I read up on procedures and my CFI did a bit of a mini-ground school thing for an hour or two. We flew together for about 5 hours (including my night work, tower work and a cc) and I was good to go. It's like riding a bike as the...

    Another Guy Asking for Buying Suggestions

    Agree. Especially about the wife. It's certainly a give and take. I do continue to go back and forth. I'm working on setting up trial flights and hopefully that will lean me in a direction.

    Another Guy Asking for Buying Suggestions

    Gotta admit, I'm starting to lean toward the Grumman Tiger. I like the idea of the 6 but a fair amount of the flying will be done with just the wife and I. When I need to get 4 of us in it, seems like filling to the tabs gives a pretty good useful load. Most of my trips are about an hour each...
