My cousin and I flew to check out a place called Trigger Gap (17A) in Berryville, AR over the weekend. It is maintained by the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF). The runway is reported as 3000' x 50'. Have any of you guys checked this place out? What's the shortest you guys trust yourselves...

As far as I know most/all Cherokees have a handbrake so toe brakes aren't even needed since the steering is done much different than Cessna. I have never had to use the toe brakes while steering the Cherokee. In fact, one of the Cherokee's I fly doesn't have toe brakes on either side. We just...

We have been trying to take this trip VFR for a while now, but for the past several weekends we received less than stellar briefings from 1-800-WXBrief.

The OP answered a question I had wondered about for a while. Thanks! I would guess this also would apply to opening any carbonated drink when making large altitude changes in unpressurized cabins?
