Roy Williams of Airframe Components gives probably the very best explanation of the mechanical implications and repair of Piper SB 1244B. Maybe someone can clarify, though, when at minute 3 he is showing some mated aluminum with steel plating which has severely degraded around the area of the...

Searched forum for 'insurance' and specifically for keyword 'seniors' - no results other than a warning to seniors about high rates. Can't say I didn't try. So here's the question: anyone have some ballpark figures for Piper Cherokee 180 or Piper Arrow 180 hp or similar, low time VFR senior...

Hello. Low time private pilot looking to get back in the game. VFR, single-engine land. Had my last physical 1/2014 and haven't flown since before then. Want to get current and back in the saddle. Do or don't I need to get a complete physical or will BasicMed fit the bill? Very healthy...

I'm always amazed at how badly Google searches can turn out. Can't seem to get a list of 200+ hp fixed gear singles. Always bringing back articles on everything but what I need. Anyone have a clue on model/manufacturers of these aircraft less than 90k used? Thanks so much!

Hello, please see the attached screenshot of a metar at lga today. I'm trying to decipher the remarks only section. Some of it I get, but I can't find a good source for deciphering other parts.

Hello. New to aircraft purchasing and considering a piper 28 series aircraft most probably from the 60's or early 70's. Call me silly, but I have an unfounded fear of the wings or stabilizer separating in flight from such an ancient aircraft. During a pre-purchase inspection is there a method...

Hi. Wondering if it's just me or is it that airport personnel seem to be speeding up the delivery of directions (clearance, tower, etc.) even when there are very few operations on the tarmac/in the sky? I often enjoy and learn great tips on safety and flying (taken with a grain of salt as I...

Hello. I'm guessing this is the best forum to post this question in. Received my VFR private license single engine land in 1998 and flew for 4 years until it became too expensive to continue to rent. Now 21 years later I've got the bug again and want to go flying! Between 1998 I've had two...

I have read that some single engine airplanes have alerts or even automatic extension of landing gear when there is a combination of low air speed and mixture combinations. Is there a list of these airplanes (180 - 250 hp) that provide that functionally or can some forum readers suggest such...

Considering some single engine aircraft in the Piper, Bonanza or Mooney line and would like feedback on which, if any, have the quietest (I know it's never quiet) interior cabin noise and what methods other than headsets, earplugs are generally used to buffer the interior sound. I mean in terms...

Hello. I'm considering the purchase of a single-engine aircraft and I know this may sound like blasphemy, but I'd rather stay with steam gauges for a while (mostly because of cost). My concern is that I know if steam gauges die in an approach, it's not a nice thing to have happen. I also know...

about 20 years ago when I got my private, we could call up flight service inflight and request that they make a phone call to our destination contact person advising them of our ETA. Now, I'm going for my IFR ticket (20 years later) and I'm curious: does flight service still extend this...

Hello, private pilot headed into IFR ticket and can't find a video or tutorial on how to deviate for weather (or anything) when on a garmin 430 flight plan, then, after passing obstacle, return to flight plan. Is it as simple as switching to heading mode, changing heading by say a certain...
