    Lazy eye and third class medical renewal

    So when I first got my pilot's license I failed the eye exam at first because of a lazy eye which my brain doesn't really use when my good eye is open outside of peripheral vision level. But before rejecting, the doc instead gave me a week to do eye exercises to sort of force the brain to use...

    Learning interesting things while flying

    I don't know if it's appropriate to post here and will delete if the consensus is nada, but started a YouTube channel, Higher Learning, in which I basically fly around talking about interesting things such as What's the best way to survive falling out of a plane without a parachute? and really...

    Piping music / movie to every headset

    My plane ('77 turbo arrow III) has a little male headphone jack wired in for piping music or whatever to every headset, but it's never worked despite the previous owner swearing it always did for him. Mechanic took a look at the last annual and couldn't see why not and so quoted about $500-$750...

    Fixing up a grass strip

    I have a 3k ft grass runway I'd like to be able to land and takeoff from but the issue is it hasn't been maintained in years and about half of it is now too bumpy to land or take off on. The other half is fine, but at gross weight and high density altitude in the summer (8k+ feet) I need at...

    Led light upgrade recommendations?

    So looking to upgrade my laughably dim and narrow ancient landing light on my Arrow III and just wondering if any recommendations? Obviously looking for the brightest and nice wide beam, but if something gives 90% of the practical performance for half the price or something, obviously a no...

    Vortex Generators on Cherokees?

    Anyone put vortex generators on their piper cherokee? Was there a noticeable difference? I'm thinking of putting the micro aero kit on my '77 Arrow III for a little better short field performance and just wondering if the results are as advertised? Thanks!

    Temperature and cruise questions

    I very low time pilot here (about 140 hours). I have a 1977 Piper Arrow III Turbo with the continental engine I've been flying for about 100 hours in the last 6 months and now that weather is warming just had some questions about EGTs and what not as my complex transition in it left something to...

    Best airports to fly to in the Pacific Northwest?

    Just bought a plane (in Bellingham Washington) and wondering what are some great airports to fly into in the Pacific Northwest (or when the borders open back up, Canada)? Bonus points if good for kids, but just in general?

    Tips on flying an Arrow Turbo III?

    Just bought a 1977 turbo arrow III with the merlyn wastegate mod and about to go fly it. Any tips on flying an Arrow III and tips with the turbo and what not? For reference my previous flying time is almost all in an Archer save a few hours in a Warrior.

    Ferrying plane across the U.S. cost

    New pilot here with about 44 hours (all on an Archer) and just about to purchase an Arrow III. Insurance wants 10 hours dual on it before I can fly it solo, and of course I need to get my complex endorsement anyway. The issue is it's in South Carolina and I'm in Washington State. I'd love to fly...

    Newbie pilot pro and practical tips

    Just recently got my private pilots' endorsement and about to purchase a plane in about a week and realized that while my flight training was top notch, there is much not taught from a practical sense presumably because things everybody knows and seems stupid. :-) For example, you land at an...
