So I recently got my Commercial and I already have an instrument rating. I'm contemplating what's next. To be clear, I do have a career outside of aviation, so I'm not going to the airlines (50 years old). However, I may want to do something in aviation as a retirement gig. I'd like to see what...

So, I have a retest that's scheduled 1 day before the 60-day window. What are my options if the weather or plane craps out? Would I have to redo the whole test again instead of only the maneuver I missed? Is this transferable to another DPE that has better availability?

Hello all! I'm planning to go to Oshkosh for the first time this year. I'm instrument rated, with 350 TT and will be camping, arriving on Friday 28 and leaving on Monday 31st. I'm flying from North Texas. Any good tips on routes? Vfr vs ifr? Will there be space still on that day typically...

It looked like a lot of fun...

I'm trying to add a checklist in PDF format to FltPlan Go on iOS. I can do that and it works fine and I can see and open the PDF under the Documents binder. However, if I create a new binder called "Checklists", add that PDF to this binder and try to open it, I get a "Missing File" error...

Hi all! As a renter, I'm curious to hear if you dropped a membership to a club once you bought your own plane or kept it and, if so, why you did.

Scenario: airport class D at sea level (to make things easier). Ceilings 1,000 AGL. Your route is to the East. Your clearance is similar to this: "cleared to Podunk as filed, fly runway heading, climb 2000 expect 7000 after 10 minutes, etc.." After takeoff, you go into the soup at 1,000 AGL and...

Is it me or the Meteogram site is down? Or at least very very slow?

Hello fellow aviators! I'm going thru an issue with FltPlan Go where, once I start receiving GPS and ADS-B info from either a 430W or Stratux, the app crashes after ~ 5 minutes or so. I have the latest iPad Mini (wifi, 128GB), latest iOS and latest version of the app. I've contacted support but...

Original POH for those planes in the original Beechcraft binder. Condition is used but very good condition. P/N 33-590002-9B2 $30 + shipping.

So, I just realized that my middle initial is missing from my IFR written exam result paper. Would that be a problem for the checkride? If so, is there a way to correct it? Thanks!

Let's say I have the following route: KTKI GARL8.TYR KTYR This route has the following waypoints: KTKI TTT CLARE ROCKK TYR KTYR Now, let's say I take off and get "proceed direct CLARE" from ATC. How can I go to the Edit Route option and do a "direct to" CLARE in FltPlan Go? Is that even possible?

<rant> Why is that AOPA keeps sending me renewal notices several months prior to my annual expiration date? My current membership expires on 12/31/2021 yet I have received 3 renewal notices already, starting in June... come on... </rant>

I heard good updates were not available until today (or yesterday,) and garmin pilot is down.

Back in around the 2000's, I was following this guy that flew twin Cessna (421 maybe) for a corporation and blogged about his experience and travels. It was really entertaining. Now, 20 years later, myself a PPL now, I wanted to see if I can read it again. I tried searching the web but couldn't...

I thought I'd see how people are flying in these weird times. NOTE: Please refrain from political statements or view points. I'm just interested in whether or not you use a face mask and the circumstances (PAX, no PAX, etc)

So, what defines a cross-country flight for logging time for IFR? I've been using a rule where I only log flights as cross-country if they're over 50nm from my origin. Is that correct or should I also log flights to any airport that is not the origin?

I'm looking for cool places to visit over 50nm out of TKI so I can build XC time. What do you all suggest?
