This year I want to fly more than I have in the past. I've seen posted here cell service devices for powering on a device remotely, but my searches have come up empty. I want to power on my engine heater prior to my 35 minute drive. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Has anyone here had any experience with Summit Aviation Flight School in Kingston, NY? I'm looking for some feedback on their accelerated IR program.

For those of you that went through an accelerated instrument training, what was it that you needed to know prior to taking the training. I'm currently with with a CFII, and I am contemplating go to an accelerated program. I'm asking this because I have a friend that is currently in a program...

I own a small business, so I do know the benefits of having an LLC or any other type of legal entity. We have an LLC for our current airplane partnership, and just had our taxes (K1) created. The cost for this was about $500, so one of the partners asked why we have it, and can we dissolve it...

We have a 1967 Piper Cherokee 180 that has about 1500 or so hours on the engine. Our partnership puts away so much hourly towards an engine replacement. What are our options when it comes to replacement\overhaul? What are the ballpark prices for the replacement\overhaul? We purchased the...

I have experience in both high wing and low wing airplanes, and I have owned a Cherokee 180 with Hershey bar wings since 2019 and love the plane. It seems like I struggle at times with my landings in this plane like I have never had before. It could be anything from flare too soon, to a bounce...

I bought a plane a few years ago that has a Trutrak autopilot in it. The owner was upfront and told me that he has experienced the autopilot altitude hold at times going up and down on its own about 100 feet each way. We did experience it on our ride home, and the person I was with is a...

A few months ago we had a GNC 355 installed and the system works great except that we have had intermittent comm problems. I can’t find anything specific with that model having comm issues, but someone mentioned to us that they have heard or read about there being some. I was flying today using...

Does anyone have any experience with Summit Aviation in Kingston NY for their quick IR training? It is really reasonable, but very few reviews. Thanks for any input. It may be called Summit CFI too.

If someone were to ask you what publications a VFR ASEL private pilot should have in his\her library to help keep current and abreast of regulations, what would you tell that person. If I were to start with the current FAR|AIM, what would be the additional books or supplements I'd want to have...

I will likely be starting my IR training in the next few months and was thinking about flight plans. Are there common routes that you can find for your specific flight listed? Let's say I'm heading from Orlando, Fl to somewhere around Atlanta, Ga, are there some routes listed somewhere that I...

I'm going to be visiting many of the NE states and wanted a recommendation for a nice GA airport in Vermont with a good restaurant. Any suggestions?

Any one out there that owns a Cherokee 180 or similar that can share the last annual cost without having any special additional maintenance? I'm trying to get a ballpark number.

I'm getting to know my TruTrak Vizion (plane purchased in November), and I'm looking for some information. When setting the field elevation prior to take off I want to know if you can set the 10's of feet. My field elevation is about 470 and when I turn the knob it goes at 500 feet increments...

I want to change the decals on my Cherokee 180 switches (Master, Lights, Fuel Pump, etc.). Does anyone know where I can buy them? I've searched with no luck.

I've decided to go BasicMed, and I talked with my physician and he understands what needs to be done. My exam is in March and I've given him the documentation. I've completed the AOPA Medical Self-Assessment Online Course, but I haven't complete the last section because I haven't had the...

If a person was stuck on getting a Piper Archer or Cherokee 180 (because he wants to buy a low wing, but fixed gear) and had about $60,000 to spend, where would you direct him for something similar, but not Piper to buy?

I'm looking for a POH in PDF format that will cover serial number 32-7840133. The one that I found through a Google search is not complete. Does anyone have one in PDF format that they are willing to share? Thanks

I've been part of a partnership for several years and frankly we work with no formal partnership agreement or operating procedures. Just five guys that book the plane and use it. One guy is our "leader" that takes payments, schedules maintenance, pays bills and all other administrative...
