    What do you find confusing?

    I am gearing up for 3 checkrides, two of which are CFI and CFI-I. I want to make some videos that explain some aspects of aviation that people may find confusing. That does 2 things. A) it makes me a better instructor because if I have to research it and put it into video form, I will understand...

    NYC Touch & Go?

    Ok, so I'm less than 3 hours from commercial minimums, and I want to do something cool to get over the hump. I'm planning to fly Christmas day (weather permitting) and I was thinking with the slight dip in travel volume, maybe I could try a T&G at one of the big 3 NYC airports. Won't be my first...

    How to boost your currency/proficiency practice?

    I don't just want to be a current pilot, I want to be ready for when "that day" comes in my aviation career that puts everything I know to the test. So with that in mind, what are some additional things that you and I can practice on a semi-routine basis to help boost the odds of a good outcome...

    Semantic Question regarding § 61.113

    So I was thinking about this today because my friend asked about flying to 7N8. If we fly there and he pays for me to golf, that is not a reimbursement of flight expenses directly. I know that the FAA takes a relatively broad view of what it considers “compensation.” If the amount of the round...

    Portable Headrest

    I've searched and can't find anything, so here's my question. My wife loves flying with me, but has chronic neck issues, and by the end of a longer flight, she's prone to end up with neck pain and/or a migraine. I hate doing that to her. My 172 doesn't have headrests, which I think would allow...

    Another “How do I log this time” thread

    So for reference, I’m an instrument rated ASEL pilot with High Performance and complex endorsements. Tonight I had the awesome privilege of my first flight in a Cirrus SR22T. Super cool and I loved every second. I was “along for the ride” with a fellow pilot, but he let me be “sole manipulator...

    Spin Training in 172 for CFI endorsement

    I am hopefully pursuing CFI later this year and I am aware of the need for a spin endorsement. I am a part owner of a 172M that is not placarded "No Spins." In talking to my fellow club members last night, I came up with a few questions: 1. If I show up with spin training in a 172, will the DPE...

    Approach through TFR?

    My home base is Williamsport, PA and for one week every year, the eyes of the world turn toward our little cutout in the hollows of Pennsylvania to watch the Little League World Series. One of the special events of the week is that they host a major league game at the local minor league stadium...

    We Want POA Shirts

    General consensus at the POA Oshkosh meet up is that a lot of folks want another run of the shirts. Paging @RyanB. Anybody else wanting shirts jump in. I'm sure with enough interest, we could get another run going.

    For Sale WTB: August 1986 Cessna Pilots Association Magazine

    I'm looking for up to 4 copies of this particular issue. I have already reached out to the magazine editors, and they are working on it too, but figured I'd ask around here. Maybe one of you (or 4) is holding onto the very issue I need. Thanks in advance, Michael

    Tracking down an old magazine cover

    I don't know how else to find this than to ask some of the most well versed, well resourced aviation needs out there. So here's the story... My grandparents' house burned down in 2001, when I was 12. I grew up in that house and I distinctly remember there being an air-to-air photo of my...

    To Quick Build or Not To Quick Build

    So, I've only just begun entertaining the idea of building an RV-10. It seems to be a great fit for all of my missions for the next 5-10 years, and maybe longer. I'll probably post a couple of threads with varying questions that I can't find any threads about (yes, I do try to search first). So...

    Presidential TFRs

    So I found out this last year that it is totally permissible to fly into a presidential TFR...as long as you make sure to dot all the I's and cross all the T's. Flight plan, squawk code, ATC contact, outer ring, and all that stuff. My question is regarding if you are not planning to fly into...

    Best Online Commercial Course

    My goal has been to try out different course producers so that I can give good recommendations to my future students and friends who want to get into aviation. I did my Private Pilot ground school through MZeroA (Jason Shappert) and then my Instrument Rating ground school through Sporty's. I...

    Wording Is Important

    Flying into Bradley International (KBDL) last night, JetBlue was coming in to the same runway, so the controller advised that I'd have to do a little maneuvering because of the JB's descent rate/airspeed being significantly greater than my measly 172. No problem, not the first time. So he says...

    Retirement gift ideas - line crew

    Our local line guy is retiring. He listens to the radio and by the time I shut down and climb out of the plane, the fuel truck is sitting in front of it waiting to fuel me up. Swell guy. One of our club pilots who has flown all across the US and outside the US says that this is the best line guy...
