Good morning POA I am a student pilot, current solo endorsement. I will be traveling to South Florida in February and am looking to rent a plane to build solo time before I apply for my checkride. Does anyone know of any flight schools in the area that would do such a thing? Obviously I'm sure...

I downloaded two Android apps: Garmin Pilot and DroidEFB. I plan on playing around with them both and deciding which I like better. I'm new to the nav apps thing. The biggest question I need to know is will either app allow the GPS feature to work without a WiFi connection? Thanks for your input.

I am looking to fly to some of the Colorado mountain airports, specifically Aspen and Eagle, and Jackson Hole, WY. I don't have mountain flying training so I was going to find a spot to go up and around, and follow valleys and lower elevations to my destination. I know i need to look for violent...

Thinking of jumping into the commercial UAS scene. Anyone here familiar with the process of obtaining a Remote Pilot license? Can I take two written tests concurrently with each other (i.e. can my PPL written also count toward my RPO rating?) Any minimum UAS flight requirements?

Denver based, looking to build some x-country time. Looking at SAF, RAP, CPR, CDR, GUR, among many others. Piper Archer is my plane of choice. anyone have any info on any of the above airports or anyplace else of similar distance (approx. 350 miles)? I don't have any mountain training, but am...

I am looking for a company, like SkyMarks, that sells the resin desktop model airplanes for the GA guys, i.e. one that sells Piper's and Cessna's. Can someone point me in the right direction where I might be able to find them?

Is there a set distance? My home airport, BJC is 7 miles from EIK. Does this technically qualify as a cross-country flight? I do know what the FAR's say about distance for PPL X-Country, I am just asking for a general idea.

Making a quick two-day trip to Boise for a meeting. Trying tog et some spotting in. Any good places at the airport where I won't be hassled by authorities too much?

I see a 141 Helicopter school at Caldwell, but I haven't been able to find a fixed wing school in the area. Any locals have recommendations?

So now that I am soloing, and prepping for X-Country flights, I'd like to put together a list of items I should have on my kneeboard. What are some of the things the PoA community has with theirs? Thank you for your help.

Piper Archer II. Porpoised on my first landing, had to fight a tailwind early on, but pulled it together in the end. Best. Feeling. Ever.

I will be traveling to NC mid-May and would like to take some time to do some spotting. I know RDU has an observation park on the property. Are there any other airports with this? Can anyone recommend any good spotting locations elsewhere? Thank you for your assistance.

Just wondering, after I get my PPL of course, if it was possible to do my run-up on the taxi out to save a little time (and $$$ of course). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Kind of a long shot here, but does anyone know if it's possible these days to exchange work at your flight school (Part 61) for flight time? I was thinking cleaning up the planes at the end of the day or doing some admin work in my spare time. Might be a way to save some money. Roughly $10/hr...

Anyone know the rules regarding this? My flight instructor doesn't since he's never been asked nor has he ever tried. Would kind of like to do one if the law allows. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Good evening all New member of the site. Loving all aspects of it so far. Lots of good information. I am currently working on my PPL, and have about 3.5 hours. My instructor wants me to start watching videos of landings so I can see what the proper approach angle looks like and when to do...
