My nephew got to take his first commercial flight a week ago and his first GA flight yesterday evening. He flew me around for about 45 minutes and did pretty well with hold heading and altitude. Anyway he's always had an interest in flying and has officially been bitten by the bug. He's a good...

Just a quickish recap of my IFR checkride for those interested... I started my instrument training in October of 2022 with an independent cfii in my airplane. I took and passed my checkride on July 1 with 42ish hours of a combo of simulated and actual conditions. For my ground school I did...

So yesterday I took my wife to Lake George NY for the day. Grabbed a rental car did a boat ride had lunch blah blah blah. We had a great time. The flight home was a little on the bumpy side. Not excessive but enough that I hand flew instead of using the autopilot most of the way. The question...

Planning our next big XC PYM-HUT departing next Monday. Since I'm VFR only we may have to head south to VA before heading west across KY depending on WX. Question is how much of an "event" will it be to cross the "mountains" (don't you western pilots be making fun of our mountains) going from...

Can someone post a link or something to help me understand "where" the holding pattern "is" on unpublished holding. Entries are no problem I just can't get my f@ckin head to stop spinning with the old... Hold SE of the ABC VOR 110 radial 15 DME 1 min legs.... I really can't be as dumb as I feel

So next Thursday 9/8 we set of on the longest trip we have done so far PYM-BBG. I'm planning PYM-IDI-I42-BBG. The airplane has the endurance for longer legs but 3 hours at a whack is good for me. Doing this trip VFR as I'm not yet rated (working on it). Any advice, feedback, or must sees along...

Ok I am an idiot... how in the world do I get TAC charts on Foreflight ??

Thinking about a few days in SC next week. Any pireps on which airport to use CRE or MYR. Places to stay, eat, and things to do besides nothing for a few days.

Climbing out today in the 206 get to 1000’ start to pull the power back to 25 I get to about 26 and get some roughness similar to carb ice or the primer not being locked. I immediately go back to full power and start to turn back. As soon as I go full power it smoothes right out. I pull it back...

I just finished up my sportys IFR ground school. Planning to start lessons in December. At this particular point in time I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with what I know I don’t know about instrument flying. I'm assuming the old how do you eat an elephant analogy fits here. 1 bite at a time, and...

Well it's coming for prebuy... Non turbo 206 G1000 low time engine and prop. I've opted to spend the $ money and have it moved to a shop I know and trust for the prebuy. Logbooks look decent just a couple of things he wants to take a closer look at along with the standard prebuy checklist...

Any of you that frequent the skies in New England area might want to turn in your certificate, because I passed my PPL checkride on Saturday afternoon !! I'm usually pretty emotionless I've been told, but the feeling of excitement was almost uncontrollable when we made the last landing and the...

Thinking about adding a self storage facility to the investment portfolio. If anyone is involved in self storage any information would be appreciated.

So after many delays for work, weather, and covid I finally got my initial solo endorsement on Sunday afternoon winds were dead calm. I was pleased with all 3 landings. I've been trying to describe to my family and friends what it felt like, but there really are no words to describe it IMHO...
