Is there any way to update the databases other than connecting to Wifi?

this will be my first time to attend Oshkosh and will be renting an RV and driving up from Nashville with my family. Any good pointers from those with experience? Arriving Sat afternoon / evening. Had not planned on getting a space with electric/water hookups. Thanks!

TopFlight Aviation, Inc is a not-for-profit flying club that is brand new and up and running as of June 1. The vision for the club is to have the optimal plane for every mission. (well not EVERY mission). Hangars at KJWN and KMQY. The club is leasing a 2008 Flight Design CTLS for the 2...

Anyone want to take a stab at this...I'm trying to imagine what a plane will be worth in 15 years. Let's say a 10 year old SR-20, purchased for $200k now. Let's assume a new or remanufactured engine will have the same number of hours at that time and the plane will be kept up reasonably with...

Anyone have an idea of which of these has more headroom for a tall pilot?

I’m interested in forming a club/partnership around 2 types of planes: a fun to fly and technically advanced LSA (Flight Design CTLS, which I already own) and a serious cross country machine that can move a few people, such as a Cirrus, Piper Saratoga, or something comparable. 6 seater is ideal...

What do you think?

cant seem to find many good comparisons online. I already own the Bose A20 and they are great. Adding a second pair for me or pax to wear and thinking of trying Lightspeed Zulu 3 or just getting another pair of Bose. Does anyone out there with experience with both think Lightspeed Zulu3 is...

New PPL here. flew into an airport recently. Line guys tied down the plane for me. I was waiting for weather to clear along my destination and as a storm approached, they pulled the plane into the hangar for me. I ended up staying overnight, and took one of their new courtesy cars overnight to...

1. If everybody had ADSB, wouldn’t ALL traffic show up on everyone else’s nav/com? Wouldn’t collisions become more of a thing of the past? 2. If #1 is correct, why the resistance to getting ASDB installed among some pilots? Simply a cost thing? I’m new to all this, but seems like a safety...

newly minted PPL here. On a couple recent flights I was trying to reach FSS while in flight for weather info (122.2 and such) and could not reach them on either attempt. Tried a few frequencies supplied by ATC but got nowhere. Why could this be, does my radio suck or something?

Question: I’m using vfr flight following and I want an in flight wx briefing. Do I just switch over to 122.2 or how does that work? I might miss a freq change or traffic alert while talking to wx

Ok I have my plane climbing at about 520fpm with Vy @ 78kias. I’m trying to figure out distance travelled to get to cruising altitude and I’m not sure if the way I’m doing it is correct. So I’m just taking the 520fpm rate and multiplying that times the altitude climb, and coming up with a time...

ok on various flight planning apps or EFBs you can submit a request for a weather briefing. What happens when you do that? I haven’t tried it yet.

my display name is Ben2k9, which is what I assumed would be displayed when I post when I created account. Instead my real name shows up which I registered with. Not interested in having my real name appear in forum. How can I change this?
