I am looking to buy an Aeronca champ or similar airframe, but have a couple questions about the buying process (especially for listings far away from where I live). I found a plane I am interested in, but it is about a 10 hour drive from me. The listing looks good (flown regularly, somewhat...

Does anyone have any experience with 70 North Air Service? I’m curious about the company but cannot find much info online.

Does anyone know of any operators hiring (Spring 2023) in Alaska? I have a commercial ticket with 800TT. I'm looking to sling cargo around in a 207, but will take any job (including instructing).

I created a database for checkride/examiner reports to help students choose the right DPE. If you could help me spread this along, that would be great. Thanks https://dpesearch.com/

Quick question. When flying gliders, can I log the tow time before pulling the release or is it only after? I interpret fight time as under the aircrafts own power so that is after release.

Where can I see if the plane I'm flying requires more than one crew member. I need to log total time but do not know if the job I can legally log SIC time. The aircraft is the SAAB 340B.

I am in Northeast Ohio and am looking to get a seaplane rating. I want a place that has an accelerated course so I don't have to spend too much time away from work. I also want good training at a fair price. Thanks.

I'm a fixed wing pilot and I am curious about helicopters. At my 141 university flight school, everyone can talk about airplanes and how they fly, but when a helicopter comes in, we are amazed by them and think they run off magic. So I guess my question is, do helicopters need less collective...

Anyone know of anywhere I can get tailwheel training in the Akron area of Ohio? Ideally, I'd also like to rent the aircraft too. Thanks.

That does clear things up a bit better. I appreciate the timely response. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm studying for my commercial ride and am a little confused on privs and limits. Can I charge my friends for the whole flight (I would not be paying for the flight at all and would be compensated with flight time) if I rent the aircraft from a local flight school?

In the c172s G1000, is there one com transceiver for each gia 63 or do both com 1 and 2 go to each gia 63. I guess my question is: if one gia 63 failed, would I lose a set of comms or would both still be covered by the other gia? I found this on the internet but don't really understand what...

I fly a 172s and I noticed three tubes near the nose wheel. I know one is the battery acid drain and one is the crankcase breather. Is the last one an oil pressure relief or something? I was always under the impression that the crankcase breather and oil breather were the same thing.

Although I’ve never had a gear up landing and I’m a pretty low time pilot but from my experience once in a while mistakes will be made an you will learn. Hopefully the mistakes don’t kill anyone but they do happen. I can say that it is the pilots fault in a gear up but I can’t judge because...

I could not imagine a gear up landing that’s rough. We all get complacent. It’s gotta happen at some point though I guess.

It’s so cold that I could do a vertical climb solo in a 72

My 141 school changed aircraft for instrument training. We used to use a 172R (kln 89b) for instrument and a 172S g1000 and piper arrow after for commercial but now we use the s model for everything. It’s a good aircraft but I was the last class to use the r model for instrument. What do you...

I am going to start training for my CFI pretty soon and I was wondering why a lot of instructors don't cover up the instruments for their private students on maneuvers. I was taught by checking the instruments and my maneuvers sucked but a while after I got my private I started to only look...

Since the lift equation is L=CL 1/2 p v^2 A and maneuvering speed depends solely on lift produced (given that weight is constant) (load factor = lift/weight), does maneuvering speed also change with air density because density affects lift produced? If the air is more dense, you will be at a...
