I don't see the big deal. I have landed on taxiways hundreds of times. In a helicopter but still :-)

Lake Winnepasaki NH today. Happy New Year!

I don't think it's in a death spiral at all. The flight school I finished my PPL at is going gang busters. They can't get enough planes and CFI's. I see more and more people at the FBO every time I go in. Kids too, not just older people. I just recently purchased a nice little 150 after...

I built one and use it every time I fly. I got the GPS antenna for it. Works great and gives me "some" useful traffic data but mostly I use it for weather. The traffic data is mostly 747 type aircraft at FL38. That part is not super helpful but sometimes it can be.

That's good to know. I will pull it out and give it a try. Thanks for the tip!

My RT328T just died, if yours works and you. want to sell cheap let me know! I'm down to just one NAV/COM which is an MX300. Thank you!

Added PPL to my commercial instrument rotorwing. Got my HP and complex endorsements in a 182RG. Now trying to find a C150 to buy. Hope to add that to my 2017 accomplishments!

Its killing me. I've reached the end of the internet in my search for a C150. The only thing left is barnstormers.

Welcome! I was in the navy from 89-95. Where were you stationed? I was an avionics technician (AT) in VF-11 stationed at both Oceana and Miramar. Congrats on starting flying. I'm sure you'll become as addicted as many of us.

I am a foreflight user but have been wanting to try wingx. Thanks, I just subscribed!

I'm from the Northeast where there is an airport every 3 miles :) losing an engine at over 11,000 feet would provide a lot of options to find an airport. Is this not the case in NM or CO?

I got the endorsement so I can fly myself to visit customers. I want to be able to get there and back a little quicker and possibly carry an employee or two. Not in a commercial pilot sense, just as a guy who wants to fly to another airport (on my own dime) and make customer calls.

Well finished up my complex/HP endorsements today. Felt good flying the 182RG and had a lot more control in the pattern. Kept it around 100 KIAS downwind and everything went well. Short fields, emergency landings, normal, crosswind, etc. Loved every minute.

Haha yes 40 degrees of flaps.

Wow, this thread is getting really good. Planning to do another flight in the 182 tomorrow. I have been couch flying and I now have a cheat sheet with a few MP/RPM combinations for each phase of flight. I already know them by heart but can't hurt to have them nearby. I'm also planning on slowing...

Maybe you are not in radar contact? Are you supposed to be announcing reporting points? Not sure, I have never been asked that.

Wanted to join this thread since there are so many amazing pictures on it. Here's an oldie of me flying by the spires near Kuwait City. I think circa 2004.

I started my HP/Complex endorsement this week. Did about an hour on the ground with the instructor in the airplane and then (so far) 1.6 in the air. It's in a 182RG. It was a humbling experience and I will gladly pay for a couple of more hours with the CFI. My problem was mostly just the 40...

Congrats! I thought I took a long time. I passed my PPL today and my first flight was Jan 1988. It sure feels great to have checked that bucket list item!

Passed my PPL today. Stressed and studied all weekend but everything turned out fine today. Glad it's over and can't wait to take my kids flying!
