In about two weeks I might be flying from Tuscon local area to KPOF (southeast Missouri) at sub-O2 altitudes. Direct line takes me across some higher altitude terrain than I’m accustomed to flying over and also some restricted airspace in New Mexico. Any one have specific area information...

I have decided, I think, to move away from my ForeFlight and iPad combination and go a different direction this year. Assuming that I will go with Garmin Pilot, what tablet/device should I be looking at to obtain the best utility on the ground and in the air? Anything to watch for a stay...

I am interested in a plane that has flown very little in the last few years. In fact, I’d guess it was idle for a full year before a recent annual inspection and flew 30 hours the year prior. The plane is located in the dry southwest. What, if anything needs to be checked out? Or is this a...

I didn’t know whether to post this in this area or the maintenance area, but..... I no longer am putting out a mode c signal. Light blinks on transponder, atc sees me and the code. First indication of a problem was my gps (Apollo gx60) sent gave me a message during a flight that it wasn’t...

I’m looking for access to a true 4 adult passenger plane for longer cross country trips and it seems like there must be more options out there than my inter web searches are turning up. I currently am at a little over 250 hours tt and finishing up my instrument rating. I own a Piper Cherokee...

My brother shreddd a crow while flying today with our Cherokee (0-320). Other than the obvious blood and guts spread across the front of the cowling and one wing, there is no apparent damage. The bird hit the prop about 12 inches out from the spinner. So, good to go? Or is this one of...

I’m flying a friend into Houston tomorrow for an appointment at MD Anderson and need some info (as my time to call various fbo’s today will be severely limited.) Last year when I flew him down, the person who was transporting us asked us to fly into Hooks as that was more convenient for him. I...

I am looking to buy a Skybound 2 in 1 adaptor in order to update my Apollo gx60 maps. Does anyone have one for sale. Alternatively, I'd be willing to pay someone to update my card for me periodically. ML

Here’s my situation. Earned my ppl 21 months ago. Now have a little over 250 hours in SEL. Starting my instrument rating next week. Today I was at the airport and while we were talking I mentioned I am retiring from my job in 11 months. I will be 53 years old. Two commercial pilots with...

I think I'm missing something when I read the FARs... For vfr night flying, what are the lighting requirements for plane certificated well before 1971? The way I'm reading the regs, there must be position lights and a beacon system of some sort... but I think I must be missing something...

What are the possible causes for the left tank to drain into the right tank when fuel selector is set on both... to the point where right tank fills to overflowing? Happens when flying, not sitting. Thought the first time must have left the right cap loose but apparently that wasn't it. Fuel...

if any aircraft camping is open Before I take off in the morning? I know the info is out there somewhere but I just can't seem to get my hands on it. Thanks ML

Wrapping up all the loose ends here and need to verify a couple things just to be sure: 1). Flying in on Wednesday morning (or Thursday)-- I do not need tickets in advance of arriving nor do I need to have pre-purchased camping, correct? 2) the rule against a small camp stove for coffee is, or...

I fly a 172 with one radio and I have a handheld for a back-up. I've been trying to figure out if there is a simple way to plug into both at the same time so that I can use the handheld to Monitor a second frequency. I haven't been able to locate a cord that allows it --- kinda the opppsite of...

I need to replace the windshield on my 172e. Where is the best (cheapest) place to procure the replacement? ML

I will be flying down to Houston next week and it looks like I will have the majority of the day Wednesday to entertain myself. This is probably a long shot, but does anybody have any particularly helpful information regarding the possibility off finding a good instructor for some...

1976 C-182 Continental 0-470 Single probe EGT- gauge has no numbers but each line is 25 degree increment Yesterday partner saw from the outset of his flight egt reading approx 75 degrees higher than normal. If applied carb heat, it would drop and as altitude increased, it dropped. This...

I was going to transition class b airspace this morning at 7500 feet. I was on flight following. As I approached the airspace, approach cleared me in at 7500 feet. A few moments later approach contacted me and said (not an exact quote), " 182 I have you at 7800. Correct altimeter is 3042."...

Looking for a little help here: I've been to the website and found some information but I still am not comfortable that I've answered my questions... either I'm a little slow or the website is a little lacking or some combination of the two. My brother and I want to attend this year. We plan...

I tried to do a search but couldn't find any info..... Does anybody have information regarding whether or not insurance rates increase after a pilot has had an accident or incident ? ML
