The problem with renting out of FRG is the rentals are hobbs, and I have sat there waiting to takeoff for 45+ minutes. It gets expensive with the engine running while standing still, especially at $200+ an hour. If all I can find is rentals, I will have to deal with it, but I would prefer...

Yea, I have some time in that plane as well. I'm not crazy about rentals, but if need be...

After taking my family on a day trip and having a whopping 73kt ground speed, my wife (who isn't fond of flying) told me I have to get into something faster. So I figure I would put it out there. I'm looking into getting into a non-equity partnership in something faster than a 172. I did this...

I fly out of FRG as we'll. it's not the most social of airports. I'm in a club that has a plane on echo. It's cool, but like I said, the ramp is not too busy. One of the guys in the club flys with the geico sky typers, so every once In a while I chat with them. There are wings seminars at the...

Calverton has been closed for a while. They do some sky diving ops there but i think it's considered private. Try brookhaven(HWV) or MacArthur (ISP). You can try republic also(FRG) but it can get busy there.

I have the same sig also...as far as I know, Frank is still going strong

Gotta say, the NY controllers are top notch. I've rarely been denied and have been given it without asking when approaching the big B on FF

Unless you have a teesny weensy bit of engine roughness :rofl:

As others have said, your route is fine. A few things. When coming back from the Boston area, providence approach always seems to drop me without a handoff to NY, so just be prepared in case you have the same luck. Also, if your not speaking to NY approach when flying over the south shore, just...

So, so true, :yesnod:

I was also in the same position. 7 years away from flying. Decided just prior to my 30th to get back into it. I did the same thing you did, joined every forum I could find, I think I have done every coarse at the ASF website. The first flight was interesting, but you remember right away. A...

Yes! Nothing some ice can't handle

I didn't even think of that. Very smart.:thumbsup:

You are going to be at least 40 min to any airport from where you live. I don't know if going to jersey will be faster(probably not). I was checked out at AOA last year, but I found a flight club there that offers cheaper hourly rates to fly. There are 5 or 6 flight schools at republic you can...

This episode should have been shown years ago. I get the feeling that after the final show, I will have more questions than answers.:mad2:
