    glad you had a good time and hope this instructor works out better. it sure is a fun little plane to fly. everyone calls it the Ferrari of the sky, not super fast but very nimble and responsive.

    LSA in CT

    right now 17 Oct, unfortunelty the DPE is going on family vacation. I bet its a well deserved vacation as I've heard that DPE's are so understaffed and fully booked out for weeks.

    LSA in CT

    highly recommend getting your medical first if there is any doubt. I choose the SP route due to risks to get medical (as advised by 2 AME's), didn't want to take the chance of denial. My wife doesn't like to fly in big planes so there is no chance she will get in any GA. I'm also getting into...

    LSA in CT

    For the planned flying I would be doing, the Sport Pilot certificate covers most of it. I'm unable to get a medical and thought I was out of luck until I learned about Sport Pilot and has been amazing. I agree that the modern style plane is great and easy to fly with modern avionics. I've had...

    LSA in CT

    Pete, I travel just over an hour to take lessons at KHFD in the Alpha Trainer. It is very light on the controls and very easy to over control if your used to the "heavier" planes. Let me know what questions you have as I have about 40+ hours in that plane. Aside from training, that plane is...

    Pipistrel Alpha downsides?

    I'm hoping that will help with the parts issues here in the states. it's very painful trying ti get parts; waiting 7 weeks for brakes and have been waiting 10 weeks for a new trim (haven't sent any shipping info yet).

    Pipistrel Alpha downsides?

    I've owned one for a couple of years now. they are reliable, easy to maintain, docile, very maneuverable. Recently took it down the Hudson River Corridor, amazing visibility. the down side is getting Pipistrel specific parts.

    Student training No Medical

    I have heard and seen the first hand. Couple years ago at 4 different school in 2 different states. all the schools has LSA planes and when I asked about training they asked why I would want to ever do that and have those limitations. When I stated that I am unable to to get a medical they...

    The limits of chocking?

    Carry the tie down rings with you in your flight bag or somewhere in the plane or even installed all the time. I'm not sure what double chocking even means. 172 tied down and chocked on both mains, still broke free and started rolling down the parked area. luckily the line guys saw it and was...

    The MyFlightBook thread

    I actually love the feature of being able to impart the flights from CloudAhoy and use it for every flight I take. thank you for that integration. right now, as a student, I'm keeping both a written paper logbook and the digital one. I do have a separate questions about logged entries. If...

    The MyFlightBook thread

    this may not be helpful, but the CloudAhoy app has a feature of auto stopping, but you still have to start it. Some people recommend placing an item in the restart checklist to start the CloudAhoy app. I do have an issue with that app when I'm doing stop and taxi backs or touch and go's in...

    Is there a way to import FlightAware track logs to ForeFlight ?

    will ForeFlight accept a .kml file? if so you can export that from FlightAware. In flightAware, click on "View Track Log" center near the top - click on the "Google Earth" image at the top. - it will give you the option to save as a .kml file

    Thoughts on Seattle Avionics (FlyQ) company purchase?

    I just renewed in March and have tried to contact support for both my airplane not being listed as an option, they don't have an option for mogas in the fuel section, and they don't seem to have a method of creating custom checklists. In total it was 2 separate emails in a span of about 35...
