I have taken the IGI exam and I’m about to take the FOI written exam as well. I have an appointment setup with a FSDO officer before the end of the year and I just wanted to verify endorsements. I know to take the actual written exams I do not need an endorsement, but do I need to take an...

My friend is currently training for her commercial pilot certificate and asked me a question about her specific case in terms of if it would be legal to fly as a commercial pilot in a part 91 flight. I wasn’t too sure and now I’m genuinely curious what you all think of it as well. So here’s the...

We have a POS airport manager that is actively trying and possibly will succeed with forcing all 60 of us port a port hangar owners to relocate our port a port hangars from one part of the airport where they have been since the 70s or 80s, and move them across two runways on our own dime with...

Hi, I’m currently between CFIs (thanks airlines) and need an endorsement to take the commercial written test. My old CFI I was using had his cert expire and is not renewing it since he’s in the airlines. I’m using Sheppard air but due to a glitch on their end, I wasn’t able to sign up under my...

I had a general question for what happens when you're given an IFR clearance you cannot abide by. In particular, a clearance that takes you over water. For example, I'm planning a flight from Louisivlle to Chicago Midway and I noticed one of the approaches goes over Lake Michigan. We don't have...

I’m looking to upgrade our current single cylinder engine monitor instrument to an engine monitor that can read all 6 cylinders. Our mechanic recommended the JPI EDM 700 and the Insight G2. As far as I can tell, the main difference is the no color vs color display but I’m not too familiar with...

We have damage to the front of our port a port. We don't know who we could contact for repairs in the Denver metro area. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly welcomed.

Just curious if anyone has experience preforming a touch and go or a low approach at either of these airports and if so, were you assessed a landing fee? I’ve heard some bravo airports only charge a landing fee if you taxi off the runway so I wasn’t sure if this is the case for Denver...

My DG failed at the perfect time, on my IFR checkride. Luckily I passed it but we are now in the market of needing to replace or upgrade the DG. There’s a lot of info online but it’s almost overwhelming. Just wanted some opinions on what people recommend, keeping cost of course in mind. We have...

Hi all. I have my IFR checkride scheduled this upcoming week but the forecast on that day has been the same for a few days, which has not really changed: partly cloudy to cloudy in the morning with snow developing in the afternoon or potentially earlier. I will have to call my DPE the night...

Sometimes the time saved flying at 75% power outweighs the potential gas saved by flying at 55% power. So why not fly at 75% power all the time? My question is, in terms of overall engine health, is it better to fly at 55% power? Or is it better to fly half a cross country flight at 55% and the...

My mom and I, both private pilots with about 150 hours and well into our instrument training, are planning to fly to New England and do a small trip around there. Part of the plan is to possibly fly the Hudson River corridor right by Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty on our way back home. Is...

We have a Garmin GTN 650 WAAS GPS and a Garmin GMA 350 Audio Panel equipped in our plane. The pilot and copilot can hear the back two passengers talking when there is no chatter on the frequency we are on but the second either another plane or ATC talks, whether to us or another plane, the back...

A pilot friend of ours told us about airboss for fuel savings. However unless I sign up I’m unable to see where or how much of a discount is actually offered by this program. Has anyone used this program and if so, is it worth it?

On my flight today, I encountered total electric failure and therefore lost the ability to communicate with radios. Luckily I was already in talks with flight following and seconds before losing communications, I told them we would be diverting to a nearby delta airspace airport and we were...

I overheard a guy at my local flight school talking about how on a recent flight he accidentally breached bravo for about a minute and by only about 200 feet. He was also just on the common 121.5 frequency. He quickly descended out of it and then about 20 minutes later picked up flight...
