I'm interested in mounting a camera from the interior ceiling of a Cessna 172 and recording video while flying. I was looking at getting a GoPro but it occurred to me I already have a Canon 5D MK IV DSLR which is capable of shooting 4K video. Has anyone managed to mount a Canon DSLR to a GoPro...

Hello, I did my multi-engine training and checkride in a Piper Apache, a complex aircraft. My instructor never did actually endorse my logbook for complex. Does the checkride in the complex aircraft double as an endorsement or do I have to go out and specifically fly again to get the...

It’s served me well for decades but this Sunday, which coincidentally will be the anniversary of the issuance of my PPL, my SP-30 (aka “The Standard”) logbook will have it’s final entry when Doris and I take to the air. After that I’m out of space! Now it’s time for me to get a big boy logbook...

I sent a question into United’s Aviat program regarding age limits for the program. Here’s the reply: “There is no maximum age to enroll in the Aviate program or apply to United, however, the Federal Aviation Administration mandates that United pilots retire at age 65. This is in line with FAR...

I responded to a posting for pilots by Angel Flight and now they're asking for my PII to facilitate a background check. I'm not familiar with them and want to make sure they're legit before I give out things like my Social Security number. Anyone have experience with them?

I’ve been logging my time based on Hobbs since I started flying decades ago. Now that I’m using ForeFlight, ForeFlight’s Track Logs don’t always agree with Hobbs. For example, last weekend I got my daughter nauseous doing touch & goes for 1.3 hours Hobbs time and 1.5 hours based on ForeFlight...

Trying to get used to glass in the cockpit after being away for a few years. Does the 430 have the transponder built into it like (I think) the 9000 does? Thanks.

I figure it might be a good idea to get renters insurance since I have not flown for a number of years other than a recent BFR and some T&Gs. Going to venture away from my home airport this weekend. What kind of coverage do you have? Where can I find the best rate with a reputable insurer...

Most recent I can find is here: https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3531 Yet, the database version this guy is using in his sim trainer is more recent:

Hey guys and gals, now that sectionals and TACs are coming out every 56 days the cost can add up. Where do you get yours? I’m thinking of signing up for an subscription at SkySectionals for $30. Do you know of a better source? Any discount codes you’d care to pass along...

I’ve been out out the loop for a decade or two while raising two kids and I’m now trying to figure out the quickest path to right seat of a regional jet. I’m a commercial/multi/instrument with 475 hours TT and who is just starting to build my proficiency back up. I’d assumed the path was for...

Today I downloaded the Simionic G1000 simulator for the iPad so I could learn it to fly for CAP and for my own learning. But we are pilots and we are proud and because we are proud pilots we know this is simply how it all starts. How does the FAA say it? “Insidious in its onset.” Yeah, I’m...

From the Department if Good Problems to Have, my girlfriend just bought me a $300 foreflight gift certificate for Christmas. I’m commercial starting to work towards my CFI and currently rebuilding my profiency after taking a hiatus to pay for my kids’ college. What the best use of the $300...

Just found this board and now that I signed up it’s insistent that I introduce myself, so here goes: I’m John, I live in the San Francisco East Bay Area, and I was supposed to fly out of Tracy (KTCY) today, taking a friend on her first flight but I cancelled due to WX. I got my...
