So I just bought a 421B, and I think it might be missing some stuff from the galley and belted potty. With regards to the toilet, the ring is there, and if I look down it looks like it's just a big empty Metallic box. Is there a bucket or something that's supossed to go in there that can be...

I'm considering a purchase of an aircraft that has a Cessna Navomatic 400 A/P, with a KCS-55A HSI, Garmin 530W, and GTX-320 (ADS-B out) though i know this component probably doesn't really matter in this context. I've heard from others that the 400A and B A/P is a fine auto-pilot, but I don't...

Just what the topic says. I called airloan today and spoke with Larry expecting to start the process for a small loan for an aircraft I'd like to buy. I was surprisingly told that they're pretty much not giving any loans out on multi-engine piston aircraft right now, too many out there with the...

Not 100% certain this is the correct sub-forum to post this. A while back (like 5 years ago or so) I remember a few companies out there (one of them even contacted me at one point) that would offer pilots with more logged hours the ability to buy blocks of hours on more advanced aircraft (Twins...

I have an older version of the Cirrus, SR22TN that has the dual 430W, Avidyne PFD/MFD, with the Lynx L3 NGT-9000 system installed. When I’m coming in on approach, I always get a nice voice audible of “Five Hundred” when I’m 500 AGL. I have NO idea what system is generating that prompt. I’ve...

I saw another thread on this topic from a while ago, but it didn't exactly answer the question I was looking for. Scenario: You're flying along on a GPS loaded FPL, and ATC wants you to jot down an unpublished hold due to weather across the area you're trying to enter. You're coming from the...

I was thinking about this today... with so many states of people and businesses effected by the virus today, isn't there something we as a GA community can do to help? The hospitals are suffering, the grocery stores can't get food and supplies to the shelves quick enough, hell even Amazon is out...

Hi everyone - After flying so many hours with me, and basically doing all he can legally as a passenger, he really wants to take the leap and get his private already, which I don't blame him... he has the itch. Looking for some advice though, as I know he'll require a special issuance for his...

Title says most of it. I'm well acquainted with G1000, over 1000 hours, SEL, MEL, High performance, Complex, and instrument rated. There is an SR22 G3 GTS Turbo that I would like to rent & fly but the training instructor is out for a while and unavailable. Does anyone know a place that has this...

I didn't think this was going to be a big challenge, but it's proving it to be, and I'm looking for some help. I'm trying to find an A&P, preferably an on-site one that know's the Beech Duke or at least the Barons. I'm in the middle of buying / hanger'ing a late 1973 Serial model that's been...

Hi guys - So i'm finally at the point where I'm ready to pull the trigger on a piston cabin class for the mission I fly, but I need some help finding the right aircraft. I've been looking a lot at the 421C but the maintenance factor has me pulling back on that. For example, i just read today...

So I know the FAA has a "free" High Altitude training, and although I think it's really cool, I can't find any info on if it actually "counts" towards anything, because it doesn't give you the endorsement. They give you a certificate saying you did the course, but no endorsement. I'll need a...

Hi guys - I'm trying to get my multi add-on before the end of September. I've got SEL Instrument already, and looking for the multi-add on with instrument. I've checked out Pray, and while it would work, I can NOT for the life of me get these people on the phone. I call the # and it just keeps...

Thought I'd post this up here to see if I can figure out what the heck went wrong yesterday. Was flying IFR yesterday from KDPA - KRPJ vectored to the IF (BATBE) on the RNAV7 coming up from the south east (rough heading of like a 310). Everythings in the FPL as appropriate, I'm on GPS, I'm...

Hey guys - Just wondering if there’s any Pilots out there near me (KDPA) that can act as a safety pilot for some IFR work? I resigned from my position and have been out of work a couple of months ago and my last flight was at the end of March. I usually fly a rented DA-40, and I anticipate...

Hey guys - So I'm going to be heading into Philly next week from the midwest, and putting her in over at Atlantic Aviation. Seems like foreflight was saying there were other small piston aircraft filing the JST.BUNTS2 Arrival, but when I look at the plate, it clearly states on there "Note: This...

So I'm looking for some information on what people are recommending for portable oxygen. I really don't know too much about it. Technically the Cirrus G6 i'm flying has on-board oxygen, but it's nasal only, therefore.... won't work without a full face mask if you're really pushing FL250...

Sitting in my hotel room in Addison Texas, but don't live anywhere close to here. Recent graduate of American Flyers Addison Part 141, have been trying to get my checkride past 2 days, and have had to continuously re-book my hotel and airfare out of here and spent way too much money on this...

I was thinking about this today... and even did a quick google search to see if anyone had thought of this already, but came up with nothing. So, your an IFR pilot, and you need to do your 6 approaches, holds, etc. within 6 months in actual, sim, trainer, etc. - and you have to have a safety...

Hey guys, In my training, I'm having some difficulty in particular situations visualizing how to setup for a DME ARC and I'm wondering if either someone can help explain this better, or point me in the direction of some material that might help me nail this. Basically, in the sim (x-flight...
