Anyone based at Hummel know details about a planned runway expansion? I heard something about it, they either plan to apply for funds to expand, or have already done so but can't find any specifics.

Question for the group, where is the guidance for examiners to determine which maneuvers will be on a checkride when developing the plan of action? I seem to remember the PTS having it spelled out in the document

If anyone wants to get rid of one of these let me know. I don't plan on flying with it, but want to use it when boating.

Does anyone know if a 530W meets the definition of an MFD for the purposes of the commercial pilot experience requirements? We have an airplane with a G5, 2 axis AP, and a 530W Comparing it to a GA MFD I have experience with, an Aspen: The 530w's default nav modes include a map. The other...

Well I searched and debated necroposting but decided to create a new one. I am instructing full time as of next week. Here's my question, can I deduct a small amount, say 5-10 hours of airplane rental per year for currency? I don't need the time to be legally current. For example I haven't...

A friend of mine has his UAS operator's certificate and does aerial surveying for agricultural purposes. He normally flies it out in the middle of nowhere but was asked to do a job near an airport. He can complete the job at 100 AGL. The whole thing will take about 30 minutes and he can land...

I have zero glider experience. Any recommendations for soaring schools that would be able to do an accelerated course, somewhere with a warm and dry climate?

To continue the "thinking about a..." threads... I am in the process of closing on a home with a 25x25 garage, insulated with drywall. I am thinking about adding insulation to the door and putting in a 24,000 btu mini split. For use on an as needed basis. There is a ton of space in the driveway...

I'm thinking about buying a Tailwheel airplane as a trainer in the not so distant future. Due to the ever increasing costs of a hangar at my home field, and the airplane's status as an inexpensive trainer, it will probably need to be tied down outside. I'd also consider renting it to students...

So I need to add the II to my CFI. In process of studying for the FII written. Obviously I need to be able to explain everything on approach plates, charts, and fly approaches from the right seat while talking through them. I am trying to come up with a list of other things that I need to have...

As promised, here is a write up of the checkride. The oral lasted about 5 hours (with a lunch break) and we flew for 1.5 hours. The checkride was done straight from the CFI PTS. You will note that under each headline in the PTS - for example "Fundamentals of Instructing" there is direction to...

Took the CFI-Initial today. Passed it. Party time!

I have a CFI-initial checkride coming up. Having some trouble with scheduling... the DPE is busy and I am leaving the country on May 10th for an extended period. * Edit... nevermind, was able to get it scheduled for one day

https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/20528271/1964-beechcraft-s35-bonanza Looking at this ad for a 1960's Bonanza, I see they advertise that it has a color RCA radar with the antenna recessed into the leading edge of the wing. I see what looks like a radar screen in the panel...

Something does not sound right... no prior medical conditions. I looked up the elevation, max 11,200. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2017/08/23/20-year-old-hiker-died-altitude-sickness-mom-says.html

I just signed up with CATS to take an exam. They charged me $140 (I thought the lady said $100 over the phone). Is this right? I swear last time I took a written it was $75 or 80... this was 3 years ago at least.
