This last year or so has not been so good, and I have put on some weight. I check my blood pressure monthly and noticed it was too high at my last check and then checked it every day for a few days since, and it is still too high. I have always had fantastic lower pressure, but am now 50. While...

I have a basic Sigtronics SPA-400 Intercom, 4 place. What would be the most economical way to be able to play music over the comm system, and then secondly, be able to isolate my PAX so they can have music, but I can talk to ATC without interruption, when I choose?

I was recently flying around and would tune in the closest airport just to be aware of other air traffic and to sometimes report my position if I cross an approach path to one of those airports even though I was outside their airspace. Overheard on the radio: " VFR traffic squawking 1200, north...

I have a Sigtronics SPA-400 4-place intercom. No problems on the last flight up to shutdown. Tonight, I could hear my passengers, but they could not hear me or the radio, nor each other, or themselves in their ear phones. All plugs were double checked, all radios and main power cycled to no...

I am a <100 hour private pilot and want to get my CFI. I understand I can get my CFI without IFR endorsement, although that will limit what I can do with my Commercial endorsement. My plan is to hit All three IFR, CFI, and Commercial at once. I'm struggling with how many flight hours each...

First time plane owner. 1958 Tri-Pacer. I know I need to store the plane out of the sun and preferably in an enclosed hanger. What can I use to clean the window, and what should I avoid like the plague? Washing the plane, can I just use standard car wash soaps? How about waxing the plane, both...

It is likely I am buying a 1958 Tri-Pacer on Friday and meeting the seller at this airport for the pre-buy inspection. My insurance, for what ever reason is requiring a sign off from a CFI before I can fly PIC. They require the CFI to have 5 hours in a Tri-Pacer. I will of course fly with the...

I'm looking at a Tri-Pacer in the Denver Area on Friday, and want to have an IA or A&P do a thorough inspection on it while I'm there. How do I find one? Meeting at Front Range, but could fly it to another airport, I am sure.

I've been seeing aircraft for sale listed as VFR planes, but the panels look to be IFR. Just curious what I might be looking at to get it certified, or if I even need to if I'm using the plane to get my IFR endorsement.

I've been doing my research, but still want more input on several questions I have about buying an airplane. Cost: I'm looking at anything from a Tri-pacer, Cherokee, 172, up to a early Mooney. AOPA's Vref shows all the planes I have found are within their estimates. The question is how firm do...

I found out well into marriage and kids that flying was my one true passion. I lived right near an airport for a few years, and got my SEL license in 2003 with 40.1 hours at the time of my exam. Flew for about a year, then had another kid and moved to a house we really could not afford, and...
