    Pa28R fuel pump over use.

    So I did my first solo in the PA28R and I accidentally left the fuel pump on for about ten minutes. Now I know that I'm the first person who's ever done this, but how long is an auxiliary fuel pump rated to operate over the course of it's life span? How much damage did I do to the aux pump? Not...

    How to get someone else to pay for your type rating...

    So I don't have any intention of becoming a professional pilot but as I research places to do my instrument rating I do see the "projected" or "estimate" costs for going commercial and higher... astronomical. My question is- how do people get type ratings? Those seem to be ludicrously...

    High Performance Endorsement in South Carolina

    Posted this in Flight Following, might be better here: Any CFIs out there in SC (Or nearby) that have access to a High Performance aircraft and are able to do an endorsement checkout. I was flipping through my logbook and realized I'd never knocked that one out. I'm willing(ish) to travel...

    High Performance Endorsement in South Carolina

    Any CFIs out there in SC (Or nearby) that have access to a High Performance aircraft and are able to do an endorsement checkout. I was flipping through my logbook and realized I'd never knocked that one out. I'm willing(ish) to travel, don't mind working with rookie CFIs, don't need to fly a...

    So much panel envy...

    Saw this bad boy at KSMS Sumter today. The owner/pilot by the name of JR was really cool and told me all about his build and the avionics. Gave me the grand tour of the panel- so so envious...

    John vs. Martha King?

    Ok, John King or Martha King- who's the better pilot? Like who would win in a dogfight? Better yet who would you want with you in the cockpit when you've just hit your fuel reserve in a super sketchy situation and your family is in the back?

    How much total time is too much?

    So I'm starting to seriously to shop for an airplane. I see a lot of planes with low time overhauled or remanufactured engines but high total airframe time. At what point is a plane just "flown out" regardless of how well it's been treated or overhauled? I'm looking at cessnas and Piper...

    Commercial Ticket Benefits

    So I'm considering taking the plunge and going in for commercial. Of course I'll look forward to how much better a pilot it'll make me, but I mostly want to because I've heard it'll lower my insurance. Is that true? How much did commercial lower your insurance? Also I was hoping to pick up some...

    Fuel Exhaustion Question

    Not that anyone here would ever make this kind of error but just for arguments sake: If you were flying an aircraft that required switching between tanks (as opposed to a Cessna 172 that has a "both" option) and you ran a tank empty and the engine quit in flight what would you have to do to...

    Flooring/Interior STC (PA-28R)

    I'm going to purchase an Airplane within the next 24-36 months and until I fall in love with another airplane (right after this post I suspect) It'll be a Piper Arrow. I'm planning to buy the right airplane that won't need any significant upgrades for the foreseeable future. However there is...

    Long Shot: Need some GIS help for Foreflight. (MbTiles)

    So first time posting, long time lurker: I've been playing around with Foreflight's custom map features and they're really great. I've been able to download all kinds of georeferenced maps, turn them into MbTiles, and load them on my iPad Foreflight app. Really great stuff. Here's where I...
