    “California Aircraft of Historical Significance” tax exemption question

    I have a plane that qualifies, and I can display it 12 days a year. The application also asks: “Do you use the aircraft for any general transportation or commercial purposes?” The application doesn’t define “general transportation” but the BoE has published a to county assessors (which probably...

    SoCal / KWHP departure routing question

    Got a SID/routing question I’m hoping someone can help with. Departing WHP headed to the Bay Area (LVK). The WHITE1 departure has a climbing right turn to VNY, then a climbing left turn *back to VNY* from where you can depart on course when above the MEA. There isn’t an airway the way I’d...

    Routing from LVK to COS

    Hey all, I'm headed to COS, and waffling on whether to fly myself or commercial. I've flown to Boulder & Greeley before, following a route that was vaguely following I80 but a little more direct (thanks to advice from folks here). For COS, it doesn't look like flying further south makes it any...

    Bay Area to Greeley CO VFR planning help

    In early June, I'm planning a trip from the SF Bay Area (KLVK) to Greeley (KGXY) to drop the plane off for some upgrades. The objective is to get there (as opposed to sightseeing along the way, though a small diversion or two isn't a deal breaker). It doesn't need to be a single day, and I have...

    hangar floor paint redo

    I'm renting a hangar at my local airport and some previous tenant had painted the floor red with crappy paint that's flaking pretty badly. It looks like ass. I don't know if I'll be here 3 years or 25, and I don't own it, so I don't want to spend a lot on it, but I would like to make it a bit...

    GTN650 vs 750 when paired with a G3X

    I've flown with both of these navigators a bit, but always with steam gauges. I like the larger screen of the 750, but I'm wondering with the G3X and an ipad, is there much value in having the larger navigator screen? I don't anticipate doing lots of flying in hard IMC. I imagine most...

    Tie down at SMO or VNY?

    I’m in LA about 12-15 days a month, and looking for advice on where to keep my airplane for those days. I currently stay in WeHo and keep use transient at KWHP. But will be moving out of the WeHo place in October. Considering getting an apartment in Santa Monica for a year. I doubt I’d get a...

    Approaching WHP VFR from the west

    I’ve flown in & out of Whiteman (KWHP) a bunch of times, but never approached from the west. If I’m coming from Santa Barbara (KSBA) or Santa Inez (KIZA), is there a preferred route or set of waypoints to best stay out of the way of VNY and BUR Rwy8 traffic? Appreciate any advice from folks...
