I live in PR and fly a bonanza. I can get from here to Miami nonstop, but cant go the other way without a stop due to headwinds. if you are VFR, make sure you are able to be tracked. My wife and I flew up to KHWO a bout 6 weeks ago, and my transponder (and thus ADS-b) crapped the bed. I had...

If you end up stopping in Portland, try to get over to Definitive Brewing Company (if you're into craft beer).

to reinforce what others are saying, we took our 12 year old dog (and our 2 1/2 year old dog) to 10.5 for about 6 hours at a time and saw no issues.

That was interesting… thanks!

It's supposed to be for every ifr pop up we issue. Mostly for search and rescue purposes, so there is a record of souls on board, color of aircraft, equipment, etc Edit: it never happens for real though.

As a radar trainee, I am taught to give a pop up clearance, then instruct the pilot to contact FSS and file the rest of the flight plan. not that it happens like that in reality...

Down here in Puerto Rico, we have PC12s that go from SJU to TFFJ (St Barths) and 17,500, and come back at 16,500. they are almost always VFR unless the weather doesnt cooperate

Yep. Just gotta fly and top off a few times. It will recalculate the k factor for you as you enter new data

I currently have an EI FP-5L in my bonanza, connected to a Fuel Flow Differential Module (carbureted with return line). I also have a JPI 700 with fuel flow option, but nothing hooked up for FF right now (the mechanic who installed the transducers wouldnt hook them up to the JPI because they...

I was able to make it from Isla Grande to Lantana FL non stop on the way north, but I had some tip tank issues and headwinds which necessitated a fuel stop... Hope your stay in PR has been good!

I used exhuma as a fuel stop on my way back to PR a few months ago (mid Jan). I was done getting fuel and processing customs within a half hour. I stayed a little longer so I could eat my lunch and give my dogs some water. No covid test required for a fuel stop. if I actually entered the...

Well, maybe Ill keep working at getting hours and ratings and see what happens a few years from now. My ultimate flying goal is to fly for Wings Of Rescue flying dogs, but I talked to them the last time we loaded them up, and their insurance minimums are really really high, and require a ton of...

you got me curious, because on the surface, this makes sense, but I have always thought it would be sweet to work out a deal with wiggins or some other small freight company to fly caravans or something part time... so I looked it up. FAA order 3750.7B, appendix E. So it sounds like you can...

FWIW, Im not making that sweet CPC pay yet... I simply spent my house savings on a plane when I moved to PR and decided we werent going to buy a house here!

Ill throw in another plug for Saint Simons (KSSI). I stopped there for the night on my way from MA to PR, and it was very convenient. The fuel guys were nice, the woman behind the desk was nice, the place was clean, and the hotel on the field was great. Home2 Suites by Hilton. and they...

I busted a class delta when I was training. During my night flight, looking for my home airport (Hampton, NH 7B3), and I was a little disoriented. We were approaching from the west and I was thinking we were coming more from the north. I made a left 360, looking for the runway, and went right...

He did that multiple times... that bugged me.

Im not sure. Ill ask next time Im in the building. the lowest Ive seen is 5-6k, but most are 10+

the segments of A555 and R888 are from the St Croix VOR (COY) and southeast. from the ZSUY segment southeast. completely over water. Radar coverage is fine, but the aircraft isnt Radar ID'ed until around MODUX or ILURI.

thats it. the aircraft are /G, so they are now on a random route. Thanks.
