I'll try to keep this brief. But.... 172K with the stock engine. We thought we were taking great care of the engine and plane. Recently replaced interior and added two G5's and the GFC 500 AP as well as new transponder and Garmin GPS (IFR). We have had an oil leak for over a year that has been...

I had a trial subscription to FlyQ and one thing I really liked about it was the wind indicator. It was large and easily visible (and brightly colored with a big arrow pointing in the wind direction). In foreflight I can also turn on the winds aloft and select the altitude of the winds I want...

The wife and I are flying down to Carrabelle in the morning for some lunch. Can anybody give me insight into transportation (do they have Uber?, bikes, courtesy car?) and any tips on the airport there? Lunch suggestions also appreciated. I’ve done my research regarding runway length, etc. Just...

Passed my check ride today to become a private pilot. It’s been an unusually long road with some twists and turns in life. Almost three years from that first discovery flight! I don’t post often but I have been an avid reader and would be remiss if I did not thank this forum for all the...

I use Foreflight for VFR navigation in my C172K. We would like to install an autopilot with alt control and, at some time in the future, install an IFR GPS unit. Is there an autopilot such as the TruTrak that will couple with foreflight? What is the least expensive way to go regarding a GPS unit...

i have seen an abundance of different gps models. I have not flown a plane with a built in gps, only with an iPad. What is the difference between flying with FF on an iPad vs say a Garmin 430/530? Other than the fact they are built in to the panel and have an included comm.

what an amazing feeling to take her up all by myself. The crazy part is that I wasn’t even a little nervous. I started almost a year ago. But due to my fathers health and subsequent passing my training has been very sporadic. I just want to say thank you for all the information I have gleaned...

I have a Cessna 172K and have purchased a new windshield and headliner for it. My A&P guy quoted 30-40 hours and says they have to pull the panel to install the windshield. He asked for $3k as a down payment. I don’t want to be cheap and I greatly value what these guys do. But sometimes it...

im about to,purchase a used iPad mini 4 that has cellular ability through Verizon. I’m not interested in a service plan - just want the benefit of the gps. Do I have to remove the Verizon component for it to work? I’ll be using FF.
