    Android Pilots guidance

    I'm using my phone now and the screen is a bit small. Something about the size of a mini would be perfect. And yes, Garmin pilot is a must. I was just trying Fltplan go with my recently purchased GDL50.

    Android Pilots guidance

    Hello Pilot community, I've never been a apple dude, so please don't try to convince me. Now I have in the cockpit (rental plane) GDL50 and I'm using FltplanGo. I would like a good Android tablet, but not some monster screen that doesn't fit it a Piper Cherokee 140. Thank you for your...

    Pipistrel Alpha downsides?

    N520AT was unfortunately moved to Simsbury. It was taken down again. So this kinda forced me to get my medical even though I don't ever see the need for 4 seats in my future. Is that why you are looking for your own plane?

    LSA in CT

    What is on your short list of planes? If you can hold out MOSAIC should open up a bunch more choices.

    Airline pilots question

    My friend is an ER doc and his schedule is rough. His wife is doc too so you are correct about marrying the right person.

    Airline pilots question

    My 13 year old son has been saying he wants to be an airline pilot for quite some time. I'm finishing up my ppl right now, but no intentions on making a career of it. This is a question for Airline pilots only. Would you recommend the Airline pilot lifestyle to your child? How hard is it on...

    New Piper ADs

    Has anyone had a chance to look at the new AD 2024-00008-A and AD 2024-000033-A? I'm trying to make sense of it. Does these mean at a certain calculated hour the wing must be replaced? Any help would be appreciated? Blue Skies -Tony

    Garmin questions GDL-50 with a Aera660

    hello Aviators, I recently switched from a Pipstrel Alpha Trainer to a Piper 140. I love the Alpha but my instructor refuses (justifiably) to fly it after the engine quit right before rotation. So now I'm in the Piper, which is easier to land and kinda flies itself. The Piper flies great...

    Thank you. My CFI is great, I would be fine with him taking his girlfriend to Martha's Vineyard for lunch.

    Allowing CFI to fly my plane

    If I wanted to allow my CFI to fly my plane without me tin it, how do I work that out with my insurance company? Is it something that an insurance company will allow if they are not an owner?

    Sport pilot failing PPL checkride

    I appreciate everyone's input, including the ones I don't subscribe to. My CFI holds me to the same standards as any of his students, PPL even IFR ask me how I know.... Stupid 0/50 margins on altitude... He said I'm ready to solo, I just need to choose which one. SP is just a test. PPL is just a...

    Sport pilot failing PPL checkride

    Forget one little detail, once I pass my check ride I will be in the market for a plane. I'm looking to buy something in 2025 or 2026, depending on the market. I have idle cash (3 month US Ts) mainly for opportunistic investment that I will probably just buy a plane with. I buy when everyone...

    Sport pilot failing PPL checkride

    Yeah I currently have 20 hours in a pipistrel alpha trainer. I have a couple of hours in 2 different 172s and a Cherokee. The pipistrel is great, albeit harder to land but my CFO is about to cut me lose, he said I just need to pass the written, do a check out with another instructor and I will...

    Sport pilot failing PPL checkride

    Sport gets me in the air faster. Wife won't fly with me so it is just me and our son. No desire to fly at night No desire to fly IFR If I change my mind I can always take the private. ( I purchased both the sport and Private from King School) MOSAIC could get me some of the above with...

    Sport pilot failing PPL checkride

    I'm pursuing my sport pilot certificate I was planning on flying for a bit then getting my private (if MOSAIC doesn't grant 3 pax). But this got me thinking, if I have my sport certificate but fail my Private check ride, could it jeopardize my sport certificate?
