Hi, I'm looking into buying a plane or a share in a plane. I'm trying to narrow down my requirements so I don't buy too much plane ;). I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where the elevation is approx. 4000 ft ASL. So this means most circuit heights are at 5000 ft ASL. And cruising altitudes...

Hi, I got a concussion almost a year ago, and I have been dizzy/lightheaded almost every day since. Hence, I am grounded. All the docs tell me the dizziness will eventually go away on its own (there's nothing they can do for it either). So, in the meantime, what are some things that I should...
