The island had closed their doors for a while during COVID but is open now. My wife and I spent a few hours there Saturday, running from the airport into town, having a nice lunch, and exploring the streets. Not every business is open yet, though most restaurants at least have limited hours, but...

So I'm a handful of hours into my IR training and yesterday I experienced two pretty incredible feelings. First, I got the leans for the first time as using goggles doesn't actually simulate actual very well. I think it was just the mixture of a slow heading change, then straightening, then...

My wife is the runner. Not me. But I can hang a bit and know I need to run more so we've started to combine our passions. Recently we looked around at relatively short flights from home to airports where it could be nice to take a scenic run from the FBO to or around somewhere else. This past...

BLUF: the comm side of my nav/comm doesn't seem to work and I'm debating whether to spend money for somebody to chase it down or to buy a replacement unit. A little over a year ago my second nav/comm (MX170B) started giving me issues on the comm. Being VFR only, I just used it to pick up...

Bottom line up front: I had an emergency and discovered a large amount of water in the tank post-flight. I'm happy to be here telling you this and asking the POA mind about this event... Went to go fly Saturday for the first time in a few weeks. The plane is currently sitting on a ramp as I...

I throw my hands up- I've got nothing. And yes, I've searched previous threads and other sites. TL;DR--can somebody PLEASE provide current links and a step by step process to go from GNS 430 with old/expired databases to being able to use my Mac to get the updates and install them on my GNS...

I'd like to say a quick "thank you" to the controllers in central Florida (JAX and Tampa) this past Sunday! I had my fingers crossed to complete a Pilots N Paws mission to bring an American Eskie from Brunswick, GA to Tampa. I knew the forecast all weekend was poor, but during the summer in...

Suppose I'm going to temporarily "move" to the Tampa area and want to find a place to keep/store/tie-down my Archer for several months. Any recommendations or suggestions? The plane would also need an annual during this stretch, but it seems like options there are somewhat plentiful. Just...

So I'm currently patiently waiting to find a plane that I want to buy. I have financing and insurance lined up, ready to execute when I meet "the one." I'm patiently waiting... However I have widened my search area to anyplace that I could drive to and get back home in the same day after...

So I'm a low time pilot and went on my first real cross country trip a couple weeks after getting my ticket with my fiancé. We're heading back home, I picked up flight following for the ~2 hr flight heading west at 6,500 in a club Cherokee 160. I get my last handoff and it's at night so I...

I just got my private ticket last week. While it was still fresh in my mind, I wrote everything down and then went through the ACS to organize it appropriately (hopefully this will help others on their way using the ACS). Here's how it all went. First, I met with my instructor at my home...

I've been cruising around this site for quite a while but finally decided to sign up and play. Maybe I didn't feel like I had much to contribute until I just got my private pilot cert last week... Either way, I'm currently based in the Dayton, Ohio area and am renting from an aero club with...
