Looking for some local knowledge in the Seattle area. Flying in for a college tour at the Seattle campus. Looks like KSEA is the closest airport. Also looks like SEA is the only airport with an ILS approach? Is it even possible to fly into SEA? The AFD does not say no!

Suggested routes SLC to BDU?? I left so cal without my oxygen bottle. Flying the Turbo Arrow. It can go higher then I can without oxygen. Trip will be this Sunday afternoon. Appreciate any tips! Andy

Just back from a great cross country with my 13 year old son. California to Canada via Oregon and Washington. Canada to California via Idaho. These were both non-fatal accidents. Both on 3000 foot plus runways. They both landed long and skidded into the trees/ditch. Having landed at both of...

These are marketed at Lightspeed. The price is right. Anyone have any experience with these inexpensive headsets? I just can't bring my self to spend 4-500 on a used bose or even 900-1000 for new...

Couple questions for those of you experienced Canadian Crossers. I'm taking my 13 year old son and I'm not in a big hurry to drop the $150 on a passport that he won't use again until he's in college. Everything I read says he does not need one if by land or sea. Is general aviation an...

Everything I read says children under age 15 don't need a passport if they arrive by "land or sea". No mention of by private plane. Just curious if anyone have experience taking minors accros the border. Thanks Andy

This past Memorial Day Weekend was a fantastic weekend for flying in California. Sunday afternoon I flew to a small airport in Northern California. Lincoln. KLHM Lincoln airport is fairly small as airports in CA go. Pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. Can you imagine my surprise to find...

I have found 3 brands. Air King, Aerox, Sky Ox. Air King seems to be the least expensive. I have an old 20 CU Sky Ox but it is old school, very heavy. Its at least 20 years old. Hoping for a 4 place set up but might resort to two based on cost. Air King has a 9CU two place set up for...

This may have been discussed in the past. Could not find the old post. Any suggestions for KSNA (Orange County) to KFNL (Fort Collins Co). I have a Turbo Arrow. Pretty comfortable at 10500 without oxygen. We will not have Oxygen on board for this little excursion.

My understanding of the Suffix G as it relates to IFR flight: is that you must have an IFR certified GPS to file /G. I fly with an IPAD (forflight) and an aera 500. I do not believe either is IFR certified. If I file IFR /G the controlers tend to give me direct clearance to the...

There is a small area of surface rust on what I know as the engine mount. (black tube coming from firewall). I'm thinking about cleaning it up and applying paint to the area. I'm told that this is pretty common on a turbo arrow. Also through limited research I learned that these engine mount...
