thanks for the help. Took the course this morning. Flew the excursion at 1100’.

I’d planned on a south to north route. Departing BLM, off the tip of Sandy Hook, to VZ bridge. Flight following. The chart I’ve seen, says I’ll be with Newark tower. I might choose to go 1700ish. To shoot off up the East River, do I make a u turn at the end in order to continue north Hudson...

I intend on flying the skyline route, Hudson River, nyc, tomorrow. I am thinking early evening will suit me best, 1800ish. Sun position, traffic, schedule are my considerations. My schedule is flexible, does anyone have input on a better or worse time, and what reasons ? Thanks

I have the stratus 2s. When I turn it on on the ground, the attitude bar is straight and level with the horizon line. When I level out at altitude, the attitude bar is about 2.5* below the horizon line. I have deduced that the level attitude reading of the plane on the ground is different than...

I do not usually prime for start up. in past winters I have left the oil pan heater on continuously, therefore no priming needed. So far this winter I have not been leaving heater on, so priming is new to me.

Carb rebuilt by A&P. Upon further investigation, when priming, fuel is pouring out of the bottom of carb. My A&P, after talking with his colleague, said maybe float is incorrectly set. In for annual today, hope it gets worked out

Noticed fuel on nose wheel pant first time, thought maybe spilled from checking sump. Cleaned it off, even more after flying it around the pattern, staying within gliding distance, a few times. Diagnosed as possible stuck float. Rebuilt carb, including replacing brass float with composit one...

I have a c172 o-360 a4m. When I am done flying I have fuel on the nose wheel pant and on the front of the air box. Just had carb rebuilt, did not fix it. Any suggestions ? Thx

After starting my C172, O-360-A4M, I see oil pressure not in the green. As best I recall, it is always in the green. At least fifty hours every year, ten in the last month, and I chuckle a little at not being sure. Am I correct that it is always in the green, or supposed to be ? What could be...

Thanks everyone for the replies. As far as following I-40, is that for elevation sake, and or for staying near civilization ? Maybe I should follow 40 ;)beyond Winslow to Flagstaff and then down ? Is 8,500 comfortable in that area ? I'll have to swing south of ABQ to maintain airspace and...

I am in West Virginia considering a VFR flight to Sedona and back this mid February. I have not flown in the west mountains before. Do I need any special mountain flying training for this trip ? Does anyone have a suggested route to avoid any high mountain hazards ? Any thoughts or advice is...

It seems I am unable to get accident report information from NTSB that I was able to get before. Did they change something, or am I just doing it differently ?

Does anyone know anything about N469d ? I am looking for any damage history, engine trouble history, or any experience with it at all. Fair price ? Any info might be helpful. Thanks, Steve

Anybody have any experience with the Chelton AP-3C autopilot ? A plane I am looking at has one. I was told it did not work at all a few years ago, then went in for a complete overhaul, now works flawlessly. How long before it has problems again ? Thanks, Steve

Lawyers, biofuel !

Nothing discussed about it yet. I would guess her training would continue in a trainer, and further experience gained in trainer as well. We are considering a lance. In the end though, she would be another pilot with access. I realize the partnership can be agreed apon any way we choose. looking...

I am considering buying an airplane with a partner. My potential partner tells me his wife is learning to fly also. We have not yet talked about any implications regarding this. I was thinking, should they be buying two shares and me one ? Just a thought. Has anyone else had any experience with...

I know of a C421 tucked away in a hanger here. Awesome panel, recent extensive annual, full deice , been sitting about a year though, not sure how much it has been run. Might be in some kind of financial trouble.

Ken, I am interested in anyones comments and opinions. If I mention a couple ads, will you comment on price? Thanks

Thanks for all the comments. Ken, how is the lance more bang for the buck. I see WV is not colored, ?
