Just checked SnF on ForeFlight 17:45. Arrivals are stopped and there is a mass exodus of planes on both runways. Is there something going on?

Hanger mate may need to hire a ferry pilot. We know they exist, but have zero experience with one. We know where to find ads, but we couldn’t figure out insurance (who pays?), travel, what to look for, and what to look out for. Are they flat rate with per diem, or cost plus? absolutely...

I've taken the DC SFRA training, but this is unclear to me. So I want to be absolutely certain before I do this next week. If I am ADS-B & Mode C compliant, and I need to fly inside the 60nm ring, but outside of the 30nm ring, then I do not need a DC SFRA clearance or need to contact Potomac...

I’ve shared an iCloud video link of a screen recording from ForeFlight, internet traffic. It shows a target FFAB123 at reported around 110 kts zooming all over the screen around Norfolk, VA. When I search for FFAB123, it is reported all over the country on various flight tracking apps. It...

(I created a poll above, but there are limitations on length. Here is the information: ) Given: a. "Cessna 340 on a 5-mile straight-in final for 36" Given: b. Cessna 150 pilot on base for 36 What should the Cessna 150 pilot do? 1. cut the corner to final and get on the runway pronto? 2...

I’ve downloaded the Notice, but I’m hearing a lot of incoming aircraft calling “the prison arrival.” I assume it’s not ConAir, but I don’t see a prison arrival in the handbook. what is the Prison Arrival?

I’ve been watching the traffic arrival at KOSH on ForeFlight (and listening on LiveATC). I read the ultralight/LSA arrival info in THE NOTICE that starts at the intersection of Hwy 26 & County road Z. what I don't understand is how does an LSA pilot get to that initial point to join the...

I won a slightly used ForeFlight sentry this weekend in a raffle. Does anyone have experience wiring one into the aircraft electrical system for remote operation with a switch? Is it even possible?

I am using a pre-colored trilam sail fabric, a bright neon green in places, that I need to match to paint for an accent on the cowl. i can't find anyone who can match it. Car color chip cards & fan samples aren't even close. any ideas.

I have one of the large iPad Pros (12.9 in) that I can mount on the passenger side panel for navigation. Since I have a smaller iPad on a kneeboard for inflight use, I don't need for it to move, rotate, etc. There are any number of RAM holders, but all have a stand off from the panel for the...

At September's Midwest LSA Expo we pulled the trigger on a new Bushcast, E-LSA, factory-built. Delivery this summer. https://www.fly-aerosport.com/bushcat-light-sport I'd been shopping for a couple of years and there were several contenders, particularly the Kitfox, the Vasion, and the...

This could be a forum all it’s own. Particularly as a repository for collected wisdom on this topic. Still, I would be interested in hearing about (& seeing) folk’s camera set up, settings, filters & lenses, airframe & cockpit mounts, accessories. How many cameras & where. I find it...

I’m seeing a lot of glass panel add-ons lately with original stream gauges AND glass EFIS. Both the air speed gauge & the EFIS have pitot inputs on the back, but there is only one pitot tube on the plane. I knew that you could have multiple static pressure instruments on one static port. But...

I'm a PPL thinking about buying an LSA (I'm still debating EAB kit or SLSA). I need some guidance on two subjects: Financing and Insurance. I'll start a thread for each. Insurance: I don't have a clue about how aircraft insurance works. I do have an umbrella policy to protect assests as...

I'm a PPL thinking about buying an LSA (I'm still debating EAB kit or SLSA). I need some guidance on two subjects: Financing and Insurance. I'll start a thread for each. Financing: with rates so low, it seems foolish to cash out equities and tie up capital. How does aircraft financing...

Can’t help but be wary of a plane that has had a prop strike. Seller passes it off as no big deal after new prop & gearbox tear down. I’m not so sure. Thoughts?

I know the textbook definition of a “restricted airport” on the sectional. however, I was looking for some interesting strips to fly in to and got to checking the details on some of the nearby Restricted airports. Some were company or privately owned strips with virtually no published...

i like it.

I need some expert guidance on how to proceed. I'm shopping for an Aeronca, etc., which qualifies as an LSA. I'd like to go pick it up and fly back Xc. In the meantime, I want to get back into the left seat and get current with a BFR. I think I've got a good handle on the ground school...
