    Passed Checkride!!! Now deciding between Renting DA40 G1000 or Cirrus SR20 G6

    Imagine having money On a serious note, you should fly for 6 months casually in a G1000 172. Then transition to a more advanced aircraft. Better to have learning moments in a slower plane giving you more time.

    New and Don’t know what to do.

    Either I'm missing something or you guys are building suspense for no reason. This looks like a great opportunity to build some hours and have some fun once the mechanic does what he needs to and signs it off. Even though the plane has been sitting it's been registered from 2014 to 2018. I've...

    Tie Down Fees

    No services at all and 8 locals. You'll just be charging for a reserved spot. That's it. Seems like all is peaceful in (9I3) Eastern Kentucky but now you want to stir things up. Of course no one will object extra money coming in on the board but I'm sure aircraft owners will get mad that they...

    Why is there a positive charge without engine running?

    That's the Ammeter. It displays the main and standby battery load in amperes. Sounds like you may need some ground instruction with your CFI So that you understand what the various indications mean and have an idea of what is happening. I'm going to guess this is N6186T from KTPF w/ Atlas...

    250 Knots IAS below 10,000 feet - is it adhered to?

    Back before I got my Private Pilot cert. I used to go out to KTPA lounge area with my handheld and follow aircraft from ground to tower and then over to departure. It surprised me how many times controllers said "Do not exceed 250kts below 10k" or something along those lines to departing aircraft.

    FlyBlackBird.com: Yet another desires to be the Uber of the Skies

    This company is trying to be the Uber of the skies. Except I’m sure they’re finding out fairy quickly that they're dealing with commercial pilots. Without us the planes don’t fly for hire under part 91 or 135. I’m not putting my hard earned cert. or integrity on the line just because someone...

    When do people use the Flight Director function on AP?

    The ILS position indicators can’t depict any more deviation than you see. The FD commanding a small correction will be your first clue a correction is needed to stay exactly center on the LOC/GS.
