I am heading to some military training in Dayton for most of December. Couple questions: Any place fun to fly in the area? (I will search the cool places to fly section too) Know of anyone who rents a plane without requiring a checkout? (just want to save some $$$ since I will only be there...

The fan power plug goes on the 2nd and 3rd pins on the outer row with the first pin being the one on the opposite side of the board from the USB and Ethernet ports.

As everyone has said, just talk through everything, verbally indicate if you are correcting for something, and do just what you would do with your CFI. The winds during my check ride favored the non-standard runway which resulted in my coming in high for each of my landings. They went fine...

Sounds like my wife. She took three lessons and stopped, got too scared by what she was learning. Still is a chore to get her to fly with me but I did convince her to fly up to Fredericksburg for breakfast. I can tell the more gentle I fly and the more times she goes up, the more she is...

@rwellner98 that's the kind of solo my wife though she would be doing when she started lessons. She subsequently stopped.

Hey all. The family is travelling to Cabo in April. Just curious if anyone knows if there is any place down there to rent a C-172 to just do some site-seeing. If so, what would be the requirements for flying in Mexico with a US PPL? I did see one post about Ultralights with Cabo Sky Tours...

I am in San Antonio and did my training at Bario Aviation in Castroville and had a great time. Boerne Stage Field also has a good program. PM me if you want details.

Where in Texas?

It is not much closer than Big Bend SP, but Terlingua Ranch has a private dirt strip that I have been eyeing for a while for a trip from San Antonio.

I will have to see if anyone at my airport or in the San Antonio area wants to make the trip to the KOUN fly-in.

Thanks for all the input. Sounds like the nuance of any given situation is the deciding factor about the legality of said situation. All that info about PPL privileges during ground school did NOT do an adequate job of pointing out how complicated this particular aspect can be.

Very interesting. It makes sense that casting the wide net would be a no-go but I am surprised same city/time is not considered shared purpose. What about if it was another pilot? Then we would just be paying for our own share of the flight time right?

Hello, new to the forum and just got my PPL a few weeks ago. I have a couple questions about finding folks to fly with. (1) I am looking at doing a long XC from Texas to Nebraska (and others in the future). Is there a place to find out if anyone else is interested in a trip like that in...
