Doctor / Surgeon, Pilot, and former DPE Daniel P. Greenwald had passed away on Oct. 5 when his twin-engine plane crashed after taking off from Kokomo Municipal Airport in Indiana. Based out of KTPF he was known and respected in the Tampa aviation community. I can’t believe this happened...

I had yet another talk with another pilot who was intimidated by the G1000. There is no excuse for this. You don't even need a checkout course to know what buttons to press. There is a free simulator by Garmin always up to date and available from this link...

If an applicant had about 35 hours of training for the Instrument rating in a TAA aircraft (C172SP G1000 w/GFC700) Would these hours also satisfy the Commercial TAA training requirement? FAR 61.129(a)(3)(ii)

Location: KLAL Scenario: You are a C172 on missed approach instructions from RWY 09 ILS heading 360 @ 3000. You request the RNAV RWY 9 after switching from tower on the missed. The frequency is congested. You are 6NM north of KLAL @ 3000 when you get a new clearance: "N-C172 turn left heading...

Anyone else got this survey from AOPA? https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ILSAPPROACH They’re trying to get rid of the airport diagram sketch.

I’m not the type of person who likes to start things or hold a grudge. I’ve found that, rightly so, everyone is respectful to each other and there is professional courtesy observed. I like it. I’ve only really had one FBO / Flight school get bitter at me for electing to continue my training...

In Iceland it appears to be grouped with class G airspace but I can't quite wrap my head around what exactly it's for.

My new certificate has Acting Administrator Vs. Administrator under VII. and an accompanied different signature under XIV. I thought this was interesting. Some quick google searches didn't yield anything for this change. Take a look:

I have no problem finding G1000 aircraft, they usually only have the KAP 140 though. My only option so far seems to be the expensive Cirrus that are equipped with the GFC700; but those drain my wallet. That's really not practical for me. Does anyone know a C172 or C182 that has a GFC700 near...

Had a interesting question. The RNAV into KHWO 10R has LNAV MDA to 480 and circling to 560. However the NOTAM says "RNAV (GPS) RUNWAY 10R... STRAIGHT IN MINIMUMS NA AT NIGHT" So I thought, that's odd. If we can't get in visual then how do we get into KHWO without circling to another runway and...

I noticed some C172 G1000 systems, on the MFD, have a readout that shows the ETE to the next point in the FPL. This is very helpful. However some aircraft do not have this and from what I understand you can edit the top bar and choose what information gets displayed. I loaded up the NAVIII...

I want to preserve relations. I have subsequently removed my posts from this thread and would like to see it closed.

...Upside down and around? My understanding from books and video courses was that "CB slang" has no place in aviation. Like these are FAA no no's. Some people even frown at saying "With you" etc. on hand overs. However interpreted; I was vaguely told/understand that Roger and Wilco were used...

Ok, so from what I understand for a precision approach we have our minimums DH/DA and non precision approach we have an MDA. As I understand...... Left side digits = (DA) and that's MSL Right side smaller digits = (DH) and that's AGL I was looking at the king course and when explaining a...

Just got mine in the mail. I'm happy it looks different than an "actual" pilot's certificate. Piece of cake to apply for under existing part 61. Don't know if anyone posted already but prior to today I didn't know what it looked like.

So yesterday was the first time I refused an airplane on pre-flight inspection. It was a 152 that had, in my opinion, too many abnormalities. However what caught my eye initially was that the paint on top of the trailing edge wing tip "fin" completely started to deteriorate and you could see...

Finished my run up and called ground. He responds that everything is on hold for traffic on final. I look to my left and see emergency services, then, look to my right and see a Multi with no gear down. Got a front row view. Everyone was ok and we departed 13min after on parallel runway. It made...

I'm curious about this. Specifically on use of continuous full throttle. As I have not gotten a hard answer from anyone other than common intuition to "consult the POH" Assuming you want to get from point A to point B as fast as possible in your plane. I'd like to focus on two airplanes 1...
