I posted awhile back about my battle with cancer in my knee and right leg amputation...at that time I was just looking for the path to get me back in the air. Update....I am 9 months post op and have been in an AK prosthetic since 15 Jan 22. We tried flying with one leg 32 days post op, by...

I am basic med, diagnosed with a rare cancer in my knee this summer. Self grounded and treated the cancer with radiation, then ultimately an above knee amputation to my right leg. My BM expired in Oct, along with my BFR and all currencies. I am instrument rated as well. I am cancer free now...

Coming home to IA a couple weeks ago from TX, and had to lay up at KEMP. Ceilings were too low to shoot the approach into our home field so we spent the night, knowing we most likely would have to leave the plane and rent a car to get home the next day as the scud was looking like it was going...

I fly a PA28 180, and the POH is not all that great when it comes to leaning. Full rich below 5000' then basically as required. I am an Iowa flat lander, so for the most part DA is not a huge issue unless we have a really hot day. SOP is lean for taxi, full rich for TO, lean as required above...

I am wanting to mount our vertical card compass in the panel, we have one hanging from the center windshield frame on our PA28. Is there a mount or bezel that will still allow access to the correction screws? I am not finding anything on the googlesphere. Any help pointing me in the right...

Looking for help on a troubleshoot for some new avionics...recently installed a Garmin GTR200 comm radio and interfaced it to our Aera760. It is pulling station ID information from the 760 (so RS232 data is there), but I am not able to push a frequency to the 200 from the 760. The 200 is...

It's been 5 years in the making, but I am finally done with the panel upgrades (for now)!:) The NARCO's are gone. Started with the JPI, then ADSB, GPS, G5's, Comm 2, and finally AP and AOA. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoVbWwEj1MLxpHtFufnwjRh9DWMZ?e=y4TNA6...

I have been off of all social media for over a year...it was just becoming a **** show I didn't want to participate in, nor did i want to digitize my life memories for some data farm to use at their discretion. I re-joined FB this weekend to look at an aviation event that I worked at. I knew...

Started working on my tail wheel endorsement, having a ton of fun learning in my buddies Super Cub. Decided to mow a couple strips into the old hay field at the house....I could get used to this back country stuff! Man that was fun! See the video links below...

My daughter is getting transferred to Fort Meade later this year, and I am planning on flying the Cherokee out to see her. It has been a real blessing being able to fly to her duty stations across the US and visit every few months. This particular trip will take me through the DC SFRA...

This is the stuff you read about, and when it actually happens, it is no joke. Myself, wife, and youngest daughter were flying out of Jack Edwards Field, IFR to Jackson ,TN....on our way home to Iowa. We had spent the weekend visiting our oldest daughter at Corey Station Pensacola, FL. She...

Planning to fly down to Pensacola, FL to visit our daughter in the next couple of weeks at the NAS. She is an Air Force girl finishing up some training there and I can't keep mom away any longer, its been since Christmas!:) Looking for any local knowledge for KCGI, KMEI, or KJKA. Best FBO's...

Curious, would a handheld NAV radio be acceptable as a second nav radio for the purpose of logging dual VOR checks every 30 days against a 430W? Second question...this came up in discussion over coffee....can you legally fly an ILS or LOC approach without having a current nav check within the...

My wife is currently scolding me for my purchase of the new D&C One X headset. Actually she is scolding me for buying 2....she really doesn’t appreciate a nice gift when I get her one. Nonetheless, I can’t hear a word she is saying....pilot review on the ANR...5⭐️...
