Any recommendations for helicopter flight training within 250 miles of Reading, PA (KRDG?) I need a few hours to get proficient and take the check-ride again (caught in the Mark George DPE debacle) I want to train in something other than a R22 or R44. I don’t have any Robbie time to meet the...

So as my girls continue to grow, more frequently we are IFR in our fully loaded normally aspirated C182Q climbing to get above the cloud tops for a better ride. My standard procedure on takeoff (once reaching pattern altitude) is to go to a cruise climb at 25/24 doing 95-100 knots. This keeps...

So this morning after takeoff I experienced a vacuum pump and left mag failure. It's a O-470U in a C182. My A&P can't trouble shoot until late next week. Since they are both driven by the same accessory drive, I'm assuming the internal engine gear failed. Has anyone had this happen or can you...

A requirement for the commercial rating is a two hour dual night xcountry. If the student is a private pilot with night currency and will be the PIC for the entire flight, does the instructor need to be night current to provide the instruction for this flight. I can’t locate a definitive answer...

http://www.sentimentaljourneyfly-in.com/ My daughters an I are heading here to camp for the night this Friday. Have not been there in about 5 years but it has always been a nice grassroots flyin. Hoping the rain lets up.

Just wow! Yesterday I was departing Reading, PA and this guy tells the tower he is in violation of the FARs. In actuality broken cloud bases were more like 2300- 2500 so no violation but I found this amusing. 19:00 to 20:00 http://archive-server.liveatc.net/krdg/KRDG2-Gnd-Twr-Dec-01-2018-1430Z.mp3

Why has the color of the flight category dots changed on the map? MVFR is now orange and IFR is blue.

Now that both kids can ski well we are looking for new slopes that are easy to get to with the plane. Any recommendations on the east coast with airports close?

l’m based at Reading PA (RDG). I have been using Reading Air but they are booked out 3 weeks and we’re not able to fit me in to service my 182s nose strut. So i’m Interested in finding another good shop. Is Millenium @ Reading good? Any other recommendations at nearby airports? Thanks, Nick

What is the legality of phone use while flying? I don't do it, but find it is harder and harder to keep passengers..... mainly my wife :mad: (our kids don't have phone yet)... from texting and answering call while in the air. Based on a quick search it appears to be illegal but I'm not seeing...

I just upgrade to a nice 182Q. I'm in the process of working to fix what's broke. It has a WX-10 stormscope that displays "FLAG" when power up. I found the user manual online, but it doesn't address this. I'm assuming it means it's broke, but I don't know. Any advise on what I should do next...

I have nice clean, uncut 172M that has been in my family for 30 years. Low time 180 horse power factory new engine. Nice modern paint. Beautiful leather interior. Never a trainer. It needs a panel upgrade. I was planning on doing a Garmin stack but my problem is that my family is growing and...

Well my family is growing up and I am starting to look for my next plane. We are outgrowing the 172. Also, my business is streching its legs and a faster plane would help ( and there is the justification :wink2:) Here is the must haves in my next plane, what fits the bill? True 4 adults with...

The com receive side of my KX155 has failed. transmit is fine and antenna is good. Local nav shops said they would need to send it out for testing and repair. Can someone recommend a good shop that is set up to test and repair a King kx155?

I love this fly in. Was down last year with my daughter and we had a blast. Going with the whole family tomorrow morning and will be camping overnight. Good flyin if you have small kids. they have activities geared towards them. :)

Been having problems with my kx155 nav/com. Com has been getting quieter. Nav side seems to work fine but I get a lot of static when identifying the station. Today with the volume all the way up I missed a radio call on departure it was soft and garbled. I'm going to call my avionics shop...

I would like to have a banner flying for the grand opening of a new facility for one of my clients. Can anyone make a recomendation of who to use? I'm located in south eastern PA. Thanks!

Last Friday a front was pushing threw. Winds were 18 Gusting to 30. The forecast was for a beautiful weekend and it was has been a few months since we flew to our cabin. We were fighting a quartering headwind with chop and the usual 45 minute flight turned into almost an hour. Needless to say my...

I fly with a Anywhere Map GPS but always file /A because that is how my plane is equiped. Controllers are always clearing me direct to my destination of fixes along my route that I can't navigate to without use of the GPS. I usually respond "unable I'm /A" I get the feeling GPS is so common that...

I did three "light" IMC flights this weekend and I feel so much safer flying with nexrad weather on the handheld gps. It is really nice to get a picture of the weather that the controller is vectoring you around. It has been the most useful upgrade to my steam gauge slant alpha cockpit. I'm not...
