So I got my BGI (and FOI) last year in order to teach ground school at the same flight school I got my license at right before I left for college; I got it because it gave me a reason to increase my knowledge in aviation and give back to my school. My friend asked my about it and how the...

Hello forum! I am currently a freshman at the University of North Dakota, I’m studying commercial aviation and aviation studies, and I will be obtaining all certificates up to an R-ATP before I hopefully get my first position on the line at a regional operation. For those who have been to a...

First off, I was a student pilot. I was finishing up my flight training in summer of 2016 out of Concord Buchanan Airfield (KCCR). I needed 0.7 more hours of solo cross country to meet all hourly Minimums for the private pilot certificate. My route of flight was to depart out of CCR and head...

Hello everyone! This Thursday Ill be taking a Piper PA 28-140 from KCCR to KSLE to visit a friend. I have 2 routes planned out, one that goes over Redding and past Mt. Shasta. And one that goes west over Eureka and Coos Bay. I really want to take the Eureka and Coos Bay route because terrain...

Hello, This is a thing I have been curious about since I started flight training- Let's say a student pilot (or someone who needs work on the radios) calls a ground controller and says "ground, N1234A with J (the weather) looking to taxi to runway 12, we are in front of the hangars". Obviously...

Hello, I'm in the last weeks of my flight training, so it's time I start prepping for the check ride. I've been told I got the aero maneuvers down, I just need to brush up on my book knowledge some more. What's a good program/ way to study for the oral exam? Also, the FAA switched from the...

I have another 2 hours of XC solo time I need to complete. I'm out of Concord KCCR, and I need one or two last memorable flights. Somewhere north or east preferred, I still need to fly into SFO's Class B with an instructor. I was thinking KCCR-C83-Crows Landing- to Holllister airport (since...

Hello! Right now I'm manually planing my flight plan for tonight from KCCR to KMOD. Route is KCCR - C83 - KTCY - KMOD. And I'm having trouble with the isogonic lines. There is one that crosses the route near KMOD and its 13*3E (I subtract 13.5* from the true course of every leg I got from the...

Hello, First off, I'm not an IFR pilot, I'm still working on my PPL. But I still want to learn the world of IFR so I'm ready for IFR training. I'm watching a workshop on IFR DP's, and the guy started with a thing called an ODP. (Cross the DER >35' feet with a climb gradient of at least 200FT/nm...

Hello again, I've been looking into ways to get further into the world of aviation, and possible items that will look good on a college application, and I had the idea of getting my BGI and teaching ground school at my flight school. But where do I start? Is there another set of text books I...

Hello, I am having my first night time lesson Thursday and I was wondering if there was anything I could to prepare for it. I think it may be a local flight or just around the pattern.

Tomorrow is my long XC, my instructor said I can do a touch and go at one airport, then stop/shut down and walk around at the other. But is this allowed? Can I fly to another airport, do 1 or 2 touch and go's then just leave? (It's a class D airport)

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. Another member of the aviation community recommended I drop by here and check it out. I've read some posts and I really like it. ANYWAYS... I took to big of a bite for my first solo cross country last week (July 27), which is also the extended cross...
