So - when you get this nice alert that you have notifications - where exactly do you go to see what they are?

If buying a plane isn't hard enough..... KRYY - 15 min up the road - Tie Downs, 1 - 2 year waiting list Shared Hangar, don't even ask... (oh yeah, want to know how much??) KPUJ - 40 min away Tie Downs, none open - maybe in a few months, maybe not. Guy couldn't say...

We need to get a salvage adjustable pilot seat for one of our club's Skyhawks (M). No luck with Texas Air Salvage. Any other favorites / suggestions? (Plan is to get a salvage seat, send it off for a month or so to get it re conditioned, get it back and put new AirTex covering on it and...

Don't see that there is an ACS for CFI check ride. The best I can discern is that it is essentially a Commercial check ride from the right seat, combined with demonstrating that you can teach. The oral part would demonstrate your lesson plan and teaching knowledge in addition to the...

Hadn't flown at night for several months, and now that the days are shorter thought it a good time to do the 3 take off / full stop taxi backs the other night. Glad I did - feels good to kick the night rust off. Little things like flashlight batteries needed to be replaced were taken care of...

Might not be much weather above 18,000, but eventually a plane will have to go below 18,000 when landing.

Do you remember better, become more proficient after an “oh crap that was embarrassing” moment, or a “Damn I nailed that one” moment? BTW - that SixPappaCharlie guy posted a video of attempt to land at the wrong airport. Glad he did - we all have the “why did I do that” moments that will...

A few quick questions. What is the distinction between part 91F and part 125? Both seem to cover large 20+ seat turbine aircraft for non common carriage. I can fly under part 91 a small airplane for my own company’s business travel. But the FAA would say since I’m on the company’s...

This is interesting. Some I already knew, but "how a VOR works" was completely new to me - I had always believed the standard explanation.

I'm helping out our club with putting together some social activities for our club. We have about 100 members. Thoughts so far: Trivia Night with flying related topics Summer BBQ - bring spouses, etc. Ask the Controller - small groups tour the local tower, followed by gathering at local...

Applicants taking the 60-question Private Pilot Airplane (PAR) exam will have 120 minutes, down from 150, and applicants for the 100-question Commercial Pilot Airplane (CAX) exam will have 150 minutes, down from 180.

I've got some recommendations from searching, but most posts are a bit old. What shops would people recommend? I've dug up recommendations for Cincinnati Avionics, AV West near Atlanta, Treasure Coast Avionics. What others might the collective recommend? I'm based here in Atlanta area...

Would anyone like a copy of this? I use it as a back up to my paper log book, and to keep track of meeting requirements, keeping current, etc. Has formulas, conditional formatting, and a few other goodies. Something you can take and tinker on to make your own.

I'm doing some flight planning by hand, and while I can get magnetic heading from F Flight, I can't seem to get it to give me True. What app / web site can provide True?

Will be starting flight training for the Commercial in a short while. My question is specifically about practicing the lazy 8's, short field, engine out 180, etc. When you all did this flight training, how much was done with a CFI (all?) vs how much did you practice the maneuvers on your own...

That was fun. Was doing my monthly “keep current” training with my CFII when that happened when we were established on an RNAV approach. For some strange reason I remembered training - go figure. Situation was stable so don’t act immediately - think it out. Held altitude and heading...

If a person is putting in dual G 275s would at that point it make sense to just put in a G3 instead?

Wanting some heat relief in the cockpit and not wanting to pay $800 for an Artic Air, I built my own. I tried it out this weekend. I thought it might help a bit, but I was more than amazed. It worked so great that while taxing I closed the plane windows to make the cockpit cooler. Made...
