In first post “For reference: https://www.airplains.com/cessna172-180hp”

I’ve never been at 17,000 feet better safe than sorry How does your heater work at 17,000?

After looking at the winds and temps aloft, I think I will add extra clothes, gloves, and a hat to my list.

Im just trying to think things thru on the ground before doing this. Reading about high altitudes misadventures online has me consider it.

For reference: https://www.airplains.com/cessna172-180hp I would like to experience my plane at higher altitudes prior to doing some West Coast flying. I've been to 9,000 before. We have bottled O2, a finger probe SpO2 monitor, and the O2 is delivered with little bursts upon inspiration...

Perfect (except we already bought tickets. will dream for next time.)

I kind of did. in the topic title. NC= North Carolina. Washington State= coast like Seattle and then down to Portland. Vans aircraft, Bushliner aircraft, and twin Oaks airpark

OK, I've just made reservations for commercial air travel, thanks for the pointers. If we never make it back to the area, are there sight seeing flights worth the money? Maybe seaplane stuff to San Juan Islands?

I am instrument rated and current, not too experienced.

We might just fly commercial for this but I have to look at flying it myself. C172 180 hp. I’d love an airport to airport route suggested. Most of what I am looking at seems to need lots of flying above 10k I’ve read about flying by roads? I want to visit Vans, Bushliner, and try to see a plane...

Yeah, I was pushing past mine!

Do they have a SIM? What is their position on SIM training?

He/she could just relay the CFI to this journal for a get to know you read and flight recap.

My spouse is away so I figured it would be a good time to go do my 3 night takeoff and landings. I familiarized myself with the rules with regards to the proper times, thought to go up a bit early during civil twilight, get used to the night sky again. I have not flown at night in maybe two...

I've learned to accept no time estimates from anyone. These things are just unreliable. My avionics took MONTHS longer than expected, even after everything was on hand.

The G3x, doesn't it have its own source of charts or navigation also? Not sure about the other. Legal for VFR navigation. I agree TOGA button, careful where you put it, mine is too close to other things and has been hit by mistake twice... I do not understand why people put in two GPS units...

Some of what you’re posting rings a bell with me But it also seems almost like a lack of good emotional self-control. I’m not sure if that was the case with me. As a very young man, I was living a life in a rut one of the things that I did that ended up being a good emotional hook to prove my...

I want to learn more about these, and regulations. My paint shop just mailed me a homemade plate with plane serial number and type, along with an engine plate (180HP Airplanes for a 172). They said they forgot to install them after cleaning, as I did not have them clean the plane. So I guess I...

Visiting my plane today.

Wait, nobody has mentioned the "S" word yet? Other than that, time, money, patience, diligence. What I think would have helped here, focus on links for known power settings and IFR practice patterns. You can do these right now, on your own...
