I'm curious to see what the regs say about a pilot and aircraft owner (myself), potentially leasing time in my aircraft (dry lease) to a non-pilot (i.e. a business owner who needs access to aircraft for regional business travel). That party would sign a dry-lease agreement to lease my aircraft...

I have light amblyopia in my right eye, and the distant vision in that eye is only correctable to about 20/40. Vision in my left eye is 20/20, and my combined vision with both eyes is 20/20. However, 2nd class medical requires vision in each eye individually to be correctable to 20/20 (distant...

I received a complimentary 1-yr subscription to Garmin Pilot ($109 value). https://www.garmin.com/en-US/aviation/garminpilot/plans/us/ Happy to let it go for $45, as I have no need for it. DM me if interested.

I would love to hear some suggestions on a good web-based platform for aircraft management and scheduling. I will be dry-leasing time in my single engine piston to 2-3 other pilots, and would love to integrate a seamless solution for scheduling, maintenance, and billing as well. I've noticed...

Just thought I'd post here. If there is another forum that's better suited for these kinds of posts, mods, feel free to move this. I am available on most weekdays to act as a safety pilot for anyone looking to stay IFR current. I am well versed in G1000 and C172/SR20/SR22. ASEL, CPL, IR...

I’m just about done with my part 61 CPL requirements. Checkride scheduled & written passed, just perfecting my maneuvers and looking to do that long cross-country. Would love a confirmation that the following flight will meet the requirements of that long XC. The flight will be solo. HPN -> N40...

An interesting question came up tonight between me and my father in law. He’s a big CPA who travels regionally quite often. I mentioned to him that I’m working on my commercial pilot license, and am looking at putting in an order for a new SR-22. He expressed interest in going in 50/50 with...

So, I'm trying to get a better mental picture of the requirements for a CPL through a141 school. I'm having a hard time finding the specifics online, as most resources mention part 61 requirements. Other resources still mention the 250-nm XC flight as a requirement, when I believe this is no...

So I'm beginning to narrow down my search of a first airplane, and for more reasons than I care to list, I'm gravitating towards a 182. I'm really liking the 2004+ model years which came with the G1000. I've trained for my PPL and IFR on the G1000 platform and just prefer the way it integrates...

I happened to have come across the VL-3 (experimental) made by JBM aircraft in Czech Republic. They’re now offering this aircraft with the Rotax 915. https://www.jmbaircraft.com/ It’s a 2-seater, retractable (option), with a ballistic parachute, and can be ordered with WAAS-IFR and autopilot...

Father in law asked about going on a scenic flight around the White Mountains in NH. I know that Mt. Washington is one of the windiest places in the US, so I wanted to know general impressions of flying into and around the area in a 172. I do not have mountain training which is why I ask...

I'm trying to get my brother-in-law a way to hop from Denver to Telluride, but - naturally - the only option are expensive Air Carrier charters that run turboprop and jet services in the $5k price range for a relatively short flight. So, just kind of thinking out-of-the-box here. Any and every...

Happy September to everyone. I am looking to acquire a used 152 in the 30-40k price range. I've gotten a few quotes from aviation attorneys ranging from $3-$5k for writing and negotiating the purchase agreement. For a minute I was happy that GA aircraft purchases are not subject so state...

I'm looking for fractional ownership/partnership based out of Westchester County, NY - KHPN. Single engine fixed gear preferred. If anyone has any tips, suggestions, or knows anyone who owns an aircraft based out of HPN and is looking to share expenses, I'd be interested in talking. There is...

Is it normal to have to wait this long? The DPE seems like a busy pilot (executive jet), with checkrides on the side (no shortage of those it seems). My school likes to work with him, but he's difficult to get in touch with. It takes us a week to get in touch with him, and another week to set...

I'm interesting in acquiring a used C-162 (or a similar 2-seater) for affordable time building. With a home-based business and four children, I probably won't get to fly it more than 2-3 times a month. With all that tarmac time, it would only be reasonable to rent the aircraft to 2 additional...

Hi all, I am looking to acquire an aircraft to own, and potentially share with 2 other pilots at a local airport. The budget is $150k for a 4-seater single engine piston. I really enjoy flying high-wing aircraft for unobstructed view of terrain. Skylane has great weight capacity, short field...

I was hoping to get some opinions on the Skycatcher. I see used ones for around $50-$60k with less than 1,000hrs. I am exploring multiple options for raking up my initial hours. I am doing solo flights right now as I work on my PPL. Once I receive my PPL, I can either keep renting from my...

Hi Everyone, Happy to join you here. I've been an avid flightsim junkie since I was a teenager, logging countless hours on the 172RG. Now that my life has settled a bit, with kids in school and more spare time on my hands, I've decided to pursue my love of flying for real. I live in...
