Quickly scanning through the document but it looks pretty good so far. Increasing weight limits to 3,000lbs, speeds to 250 knots, constant speed propellers and retractable gear. Certification standards between EAB and certificated standard category. Support for IFR...

The long days and generally good weather during the summer months made it easy for me to fly a couple times per week. My biggest worry about the plane being parked on the ramp was making sure to clean the bird poop off. Well with winter temps dropping below freezing at night, much shorter...

I'm eligible but can't seem to find a doctor in my area that will do basicmed. I used AOPA's doctor finder and the only ones that will are also AME's. Some people have suggested to steer away from AME's if possible as they may not follow the simpler criteria for BasicMed and can talk to the...

The local birds are conducting military training bombing runs over my tied down aircraft on the ramp. Any suggestions to give the feathered ones more gastrointestinal fortitude or encouragement to do their exercises someplace else? Also, how quick do you need to get the bird poop off your...

Not wanting to hijack the commercial cross country thread I thought I'd start a new one. I'm planning a cross country. It's not my long one but it might be long enough to satisfy the Private Pilot greater than 150nm rule anyway. It depends on whether flying to intermediate VORs or waypoints...

I read an opinion about how some accidents in high performance aircraft were the result of not having good foundational skills. The author blamed cessnas for being too tame and forgiving of student mistakes, so pilots were less skilled when they later transitioned to more demanding planes. As...
