    Anyone still use VORs?

    I use VOR alot, even with the fancy g1000 I fly. Alot of fun actually. I had a database error, or something happen the other day. Took off, setup my flight plan on the garmin, and it told me to fly east for a westerly destination. Confused I was, but not a problem. Setup for the VOR near the...

    Bittersweet day, another crash at CRQ.

    Looks to me like he wasn't totally over the cart when he tried to touch down. I don't see the cart moving much. Regardless guys, very tragic. RIP. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    3rd Class Medical Limitation - Sigh

    I'm 29, and my first medical had "must wear corrective lenses". So hey, at least we are blessed enough to have medicals and be able to fly! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    KCRQ Ground Loop Today

    Don't be afraid of tailwheels... I started flying aerobatics in a citabria at 12 hours in... By 15 hours into my PPL I was flying coordinated aileron rolls, loops, split s, and immelmans. Falling leaves and spins also turned into just another maneuver. I really think that every pilot should...

    Discovery flight - newbie research

    First decide how much you plan to fly a year... If you plan to only fly 25-30 hours a year, renting is the way to go. I think you should obtain your PPL before considering purchasing an airplane... See how the discovery flight goes. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Lightspeed PFX vs. Zulu.2: Any PIREPs?

    I almost purchased the PFX, but ended up with the Zulu2 on sale for $800. I tried the PFX out in person and couldn't notice much of a difference (to my ears). I didn't care for the added features and the control box was HUGE. Zulu 2 for me Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    What a handful! Bustin' though delicious cloud soup, with 3 camera angles!

    I am a VFR pilot, about to start IFR training. I also fly a g1000 172 and was curious what you are using the tablet and other GPS for? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Steam plus GPS

    The g1000 has alot of really nice features. Not to say it isn't overkill for VFR, because it really is. Traffic advisories... Nextrad wx, topography and terrain, wind and weather information, taf and metars, airport diagrams/runways/radio frequencies, nearest airport loc, course prediction...

    Mariposa approach, landing and takeoff in a C172SP - 63hr PPL

    Yeah like I said I don't mind criticism. Centerline- yes, once I transitioned from the slip to landing I adjusted for the crosswind. I knew my runway position however chose to proceed with it given the circumstances. Climb at VY- Every now and again it is fun to accelerate in ground effect...

    Mariposa approach, landing and takeoff in a C172SP - 63hr PPL

    Hey guys, just thought I would share a quick video I put together of my flight the other day. Flew from Fresno to Mariposa in the g1000 172SP. There was supposed to be a very large tree just off centerline on final, so I stayed high on my bass to check it out. Once I saw it wasn't there I...

    First Passengers!

    Yeah. I also would suggest waiting a day. Not to say you won't be up for flying, but I bet you'd have a more enjoyable time going up fresh the following day. I took my checkride in the morning July 3rd. Once I passed I was thrilled... Although very excited for the license, I just wasn't in the...

    First solo coming up

    Exactly, I meant nose heavy as in weight wise, not feel. Although even trimmed it has a slightly different feel than the other 172s I fly. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    First solo coming up

    I started my flight training in a g1000 172. Flew 7.1 hours dual in it, then solo, then my CFI left the FBO. I ended up taking two weeks off, and then switched to another school using an older steam guage 172. I actually like them both. I find the steam guage a better option for primary...
