I'm more concerned of security theater by clamping down access of private vehicles/people easily through FBOs and unlocked gates at GA airports.

Been a long time since OKC. Long before DHS and TSA existed. TSA has been spotted in freaking train stations in recent years; they'll set up shop anywhere.

I really liked iFly for VFR. Their smart routing was awesome.

How long til TSA comes for us in the GA world? We've avoided the security theater for the most part, but things like this hit to the heart of the GA argument that the planes are too small to be weaponized...

The subject lone of the thread is for instruments. Shepard Air doesn't have a PPL course.

For me, after Sportys and taking almost a year off, it took me a 3 day weekend on Shepard Air to finish up. It was much better than Sporty's in the questions verses the actual test. I scored a 95 on the real one. Just follow their directions carefully. Ill be honest, I did about 30% of the final...

Pattern B. Look it up. Thank me later.

I wonder what Louisville's charges are for the KY Derby each year. They have a ridiculous amount of GA aircraft flying in, so much so they turn taxiways into aprons at SDF, completely fill up LOU, and across the river Clark County completely fills, too. I've never heard of complaints there for...

But are they willing to pay hundreds of dollars to save that one hour. I would be willing to bet very, very few would. Which is why heliports in the US are so rare outside of lower Manhatten. It's just too freaking expensive.

Here's my rub. We have air taxis already. They're called Helicopters. Unless electric powered ones can make it as cheap as $20 across town, there is no business model that will make these profitable in any city other than the ones that ALREADY have helicopter air taxi services (NYC, for...

I've had my first 3 IFR lessons in the plane in the last week. We're following the Cessna IFR lesson plan. So far we've combined some of the lessons, so I'm finished with step 5 after 3. For what its worth, he told me to not retract flaps on the runway, too. Said wait until after the hold bar...

Welp, all I can say is trust the process. Just passed IFR written with a 95%. Woohoo!

https://www.flytigers.net/ is at Ellington Field. I don't know who else is there, but they seem to have a good reputation.

That's a good point I hadn't thought about yet. Then again, when I took my PE exam many years ago the odds were there'd only be 2 geotechnical questions...there were 8 and I damn near fell out of my chair because I punted on those during the studying!!

I've watched the vids; I'm getting better at it, but not great. I do a lot better in the cockpit for VOR tracking. At least I've figured out the hold entries, for the most part.

Im currently working through the Shepard Air grind. I dont know how I'm going to pass this test with this method... I've never been one to memorize well; I need to know the how and why, and rhen I can think through about anything. I took a ground school course, too, and thought I understood the...

Sounds like the ratio of women/men on Farmers Only.com.

It's definitely harder to find things, but once you figure it out, it works really well on mobile (which I think was their main intent). That being said...I use Windy. The app just gives me what I need a helluva' lot easier. I'll still check the AWC for prog charts, but even that I rarely do...

The L-861(L)s are LED. I'd be happy to talk offline on what system you have and what might be another way of upgrading over time. Never know.

Open bids for construction projects. My company designs airfields. I have bids on our design projects from all over the US. We don't use AV-70s; those little suckers are expensive! I haven't used this brand specifically, but they're showing price of $180.15 for a L-861, white globe...
