    Can a student pilot move an aircraft on the ramp?

    You’re fine. CFI might not like it, but it’s legal

    A

    Thats the understatement of the year. 210 insurance for a low time / new pilot will be ridiculous, like $5000 a year ridiculous. Look for a nice 182 or other for now.

    Aviation glossary for students

    i was thinking about putting together a glossary of sorts for common aviation terms and phrases we use daily that a student pilot needs to know pretty quickly. The glossary in the PHAK isn’t what I’m looking for. Things like: NORDO Ramp Vectors Say intentions Stuff like that. Should I just...

    Gaston’s Fly-in Oct 4-6, 2019!

    Interesting to say the least. TAFs were not accurate and Wx was worse than forecast. Dana and I (wisely) repositioned to Baxter County last night. Planned to be at the airport at 0700. Woke up to a line of t-storms moving west to east across N AR. Watched it till 10, saw a possible break...

    206 pros & cons

    I have a 210, almost the same as a 206, just ‘4’ better. From looking at 206’s, the ‘bad’ is mainly the acquisition cost! The good seems to be the load, the ginormous side door, and the lower insurance costs over the 210. Going from a 172 to a 206 will be interesting. Might find a 182 to fly...

    New pilot considering ownership

    Join a flying club for a year. That will give you an idea of the unexpected costs associated with ownership. Dont try to stuff a 90lb GSD thru the baggage door of a 182. Let him ride in the back seat where he belongs. Both my dogs ride with me. I have to pick up the older 70lb APBT and put...

    Which aircraft to upgrade to?

    C210 all day long!

    Piper Aztec vs. C210 vs. Cherokee 6 vs. Lance/Saratoga

    In the 210 youll burn between 15 - 17gph doing that 160kts, but its worth it! I burn just shy of 17, but thats mainly to keep temps in range. Once I improve my baffling I'll probably be able to run less fuel.
