So I'm planning a trip from Central Florida around the coast to New Orleans. I'm planning around R2915 and I see the airspace restriction is continuous. If I'm not under Flight Following who would I contact to transition across that space. Specifically R2915B which is surface - unlimited...

I'm looking at purchasing my first aircraft and would be up for a possible partnership with it. As such I'm going to put it into an LLC on purchase in order to make bringing on a partner easier as I won't have to move the aircraft into an LLC and do a re-registration etc. What I'm trying to...

I recently had a discussion with another recently graduated Private who was told by his CFI that for night currency your night landings had to be taxi backs. I've always considered Stop & Go's to qualify based on my reading of 61.57(b)1 and consultation of my CFI during my training. Since this...

I'm beginning some self study for my Instrument rating as I pick up my cross country time to get close enough to do Part 61 training. One thing I've run into on my longer trips is my pilot endurance vs aircraft endurance. I've filed VFR flight plans from departure point to final destination...

I picked up my PPL in December of 2021. Since then I've been doing a trip here and there and some breakfast runs. My original intent was to go straight into into my instrument training under 141 but the school I finished my private in is really lacking weekend instructors with only 1 saturday...

As I learn more about airplane owner partnerships I find I'm collecting more questions. I recently spoke with someone who is looking for a partner in a 182. His previous partner was a friend and their partnership was very informal and I think he understands that with someone new we will need...

After obtaining my private pilots license and doing the rental thing for the last few months I'm beginning to figure out what my typical missions look like. Having identified that whats the process for beginning to find that partner. Having been in various business dealings I understand most...

My longest cross country flight to date is in the books. I stretched out of my comfort zone a bit and for the most part didn't run into too many issues. The flight was between ORL and OPF with the trip down along the coast and the trip back more direct going under the west side Orlando Class...

I'm considering doing a single day fly in to Sun N Fun. For context I'm just over 100 hours and picked up my private in December. I'm flying from Leesburg so its about an hour or so. Having read the previous years' notams and arrival/departure procedures I've decided NOT to take the wife on...

So I talked to my Medical Provider about BasicMed. She performed the exam and was happy to sign off on it but after doing research the fact that she is a Nurse Practitioner seems to prevent her from signing off even though she is state licensed. I asked if any of the doctors at the practice...

OK I've read through many of the OSA SI threads and before you say it I know about BasicMed and am going to try that route anyway if I can keep the same PCP for more than one visit. They keep retiring, moving, finding God, etc and no one tells me until I make my next appointment. Anyway when I...

I started my flight training 7 years ago at KJYO and KHEF and after a hiatus I finished at KLEE. I noticed some differences between the airports. At KHEF where I did most of my training I found that after landing and crossing the hold short line we stopped and cleaned up the airplane then...

Good morning PoA. I'm getting ready to take a flight this afternoon to a new airport and would like you guys to pick apart my flight a bit. The flight is KLEE WUDDY KSPG with a 4:30pm departure. Flight is VFR. My plan is to contact Tampa Approach enroute to WUDDY and see about a Class B...

So weather was good and while the wife wasn't feeling up to it I decided to take a flight from KLEE out to the east coast on Christmas day. I flew to KFIN where I was going to do a touch and go but was informed that the pattern was closed. They were only permitting arrivals and departures. So...

I'm in a spot I'm sure many of you are familiar with. I got my private certificate and want to start traveling and am trying to find the best bang for my buck. Rental rates in my area for a 172 are between 140 and 180 wet. So I'm doing the calculation of how many hours I would have to fly...

Hi everyone. Newly minted private pilot here from KLEE (Leesburg, FL). This was a dream that I started working on 7 years ago ironically at KJYO (Leesburg, VA) and finally got around to completing. Working on taking the wife up to acclimate to small aircraft flight then I'm headed to IFR...
