Hi Everyone, I’m planning my first overnight trip and going to KCRQ. Having never done this before, what is the process? Do I just taxi to transient parking, tie the plane down, and put some coins in the meter? (kidding). Do I radio someone and they’ll direct me in? What do you do if transient...

Thought I'd pass along that the flight school I teach at is offering a free 8 week online (via Zoom) ground school for Instrument students (or those wanting to refresh) and a 10 week private pilot ground school starting Monday. No strings attached, just giving back to the community. They did it...

I was on a VFR practice RNAV approach the other day when I lost LPV after the FAF. At that point I just flew it as an LNAV approach and used the LNAV MDA. I wasn't in actual IMC and needed to return the plane, so I just continued. But wondering if that is legal to just continue on course if you...

Not sure it's okay to post something like this, but I figured it was relevant and hopefully useful. I found out that a flight school I went to (Sling Pilot Academy) is offering free online instrument ground starting next week for anyone who is looking to move up (or refresh). The CFII (Phil)...

Curious if anyone has the skinny on Sling Pilot Academy out of KTOA. Flew their Sling 2 and it sure was fun. I already have my PPL, so this is more about getting IFR/CPL/CFI etc and I hadn't thought about doing it in a LSA. They seem to have a pretty good accelerated program to get your ratings...

Strange question, but does anybody get a numb finger tip from pressing the push-to-talk button on the 172 yoke? I can't think of any other reason why the very tip of my finger has no feeling after flying.

After nearly 28 years, I've decided to get back into the cockpit. Had my first BFR “lesson” yesterday and it felt pretty good. Flying around Los Angeles is a lot different these days and I felt a bit behind the curve in knowing my boundaries around the B and D airspace and flying in a cockpit...

Random question... I dusted off my 30 year old leather flight bags only to discover they were disintegrating in my hands. Any thoughts on a good replacement bag? Thanks in advance!

What is the current practice when applying for your first medical (in many years)? I've heard people suggest withholding the application number from the AME until you are sure you're going to pass. Is this a standard thing? Won't the doctor think it's unusual/get put off that he has to examine...

I had foot surgery about 2 years ago and sinus surgery earlier this year. Both times I had temporary disability payments because of my "day job" for about a month each. Obviously I need to answer "yes" on the Medxpress form for my physical for having ever received disability payments, but do I...
