They use our airport [KPOC, La Verne, CA] for controller training a lot. This past Sat AM - I got this whole long clearance from the controller . .. "90P, fly runway heading, I'll call your turn, no turns before the freeway, maintain 2500 or below, noise abatement turn requested." I sat there...

Ok - so I agree to pay someone to ferry the airplane. I agreed to pay for 100% of the escrow. The deal fell apart when I asked who owned the airplane, and who was signing the sales contract and how to prove the current annual is being paid for by the Seller. Here are the facts: Airplane...

Ok everyone - we've all got ipads and phones at least with flight planning software etc. If you climb to your cruise altitude and are on a 400nm leg - your GPS tells you that your descent to destination is 50fpm and that number goes up as you get closer to your destination. So if you waited...

Here is your chance . . . . to savage me. Was negotiating to buy an airplane. We agreed on a price but hung up on delivery. The airplane is in some small town in Wisconsin being annualed. It is based outside Chicago. There is no rental car return service in this town or even close by...

I know this is likely not going to happen because Garmin wants to sell you a different box . . . but - If you have a 530w and 330ES - you're squitting ES for ADS-B. . . Is the 330 displaying other ADS-B targets on the 530 screen - albeit without the ID information? Or is it still only...

Finally got flying yesterday and did an IPC and BFR - my airplane had its ADS-B upgrade in December. . . I was doing the practice approaches - and the first controller got my number wrong - they often do - while my tail number ends in 90P - often they enter it as 09P and its hell to correct it...

We are flying out to Prescott in a week or so to look at real estate and homes. I was looking at the sectional and IFR MEA's - and the almost always active MOA's at Baghdad. Turtle, Quail and Gladden, plus the restricted areas to the NE and surrounding 29 Palms - also Prescott Valley is a deep...

Right now I"m leaning toward diverting early to Southwest or Alaska for this - fares aren't too bad and would cost about the price of Avgas for anything reasonable. I've looked at the routing three ways from Sunday from POC - BOI area [Ontario, etc] and my #1 goal is to avoid overflying the...
