Pretty soon in our future, being a pilot will mean nothing. Planes will become autonomous, and Uber even has plans to introduce autonomous air taxis very soon https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/05/08/uber-flying-car-prototype.html. Being a pilot carries with it a level of...

Before I start, i just wanted to address the last few exchanges I've had in this forum. I'd like to put whatever issues arose behind. There were some pretty unnecessary shots fired at me that got way more personal than I ever got with anyone else (I never got personal with anyone). But I don't...

So I found a Cessna 150 I want to buy. It can be seen here: https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/24647841/1971-cessna-150 I got a quote from AOPA on financing and they said 85% of the either the value or purchase price (whichever one is lower) could likely be financed, which...

Looking for tips and advice on low-cost DIY hangar building. By low-cost I'm talking in the hundreds of dollars (maybe a couple thou at the highest). I want to construct a cheap hangar to store a plane on my property. I've been trying to do research on DIY fabric buildings. My dad owns a...

I want to explore the topic of Cessna 150s on short grass fields. My father used to own a '59 model 150, and he says they will certainly takeoff on grass, as he used to fly out and into our 1,800 ft. grass runway here at home. Once I get my ticket, which will probably be here in a couple of...

I guess this is a new thing since I've been out of the loop. I see lots of videos with ipads mounted to the yoke. I presume people are using them for GPSs now? I'm looking to get my own GPS soon. Is an Ipad a good choice? What program is used on them?

From the outset, I just want to say that this is likely a wild and crazy idea that would probably be impractical and unfeasible, but I still wanted to throw it out there and get the opinions of seasoned pilots on it. Okay so, I work in Nashville, right. I work in hospitality. For those who...

As a 20-something who hasn't figured out what he wants to do with his life, I'm here to ask about aviation certifications and potential careers. As those of you who've read my other thread know, I plan on finishing my PPL this summer. After that I'm really tossing around the idea of going on to...

I've always heard from various people over the years that the specs of an airplane as listed in the manual are actually half of what the plane will actually do. So take for example that the Cessna 150 has a useful load of roughly 475 lbs., does that mean 475 is actually half of what it will...

Hey guys! I'm a new guy here. So I'm currently a student pilot who has spent a lot of time away from flying. Seven years to be precise. I've logged 27.8 hours according to my logbook and I have also soloed once. According the shirt tail hanging on my wall, my first and only solo was on...
