Somebody didn't read the whole OP.

Works fine for me.

'Flying Lessons' from Mastery Flight Training on the subject from the perspective of the low engine usage over the years and the overhaul being done 25 years ago, and 'deferring engine overhaul indefinitely'. Interesting paragraph here if it hasn't been brought up already: A witness reported...

The 25 hours doesn't have to be PIC? If he got the instruction before he got his add-on can he count it?

Nice panel too. I see Bill Cox wrote the article too. Been reading after him since I started flying in '79. Or at least not too long after that.

A lot of other planes I'd buy before a 172 if I had that much money to buy a plane. Ridiculous. But I guess not compared to a new one.

So what kind of minimums in ME hours, etc do they require to fly it solo?

Same here, My private, instrument, and commercial oral were all pretty easy. Private he saw I knew my stuff and started skipping through pages in his oral book. Instrument oral I actually did with another pilot because we had trained for the instrument together so he would ask me one question...

Yeah, I tried those when I first got mine and they didn't block any noise. They didn't fit my ears like the yellow ones. The yellow ones work for me though when I wear them. I have a Bose20 I use most of the time. As a matter of fact if you wanted I could mail you my triple flange ones. They are...

Ah, the good ole piano ad from Piper many years ago. Still remember that from Flying Magazine.

And those are good. :D

KCRE would be about a $500 hamburger for me renting the club plane and coming from the Atlanta area. So a no go for me even if the plane hadn't already been rented for Saturday. @eman1200 it always needs to be south or west of you. :D

Yeah, but a Skylane is much cooler than a Ford Fairlane. :D I think the 172 may be more the Fairlane.

I remember years ago reading I believe a Popular Mechanics magazine and they wanted to find the 'perfect' car, one basically what you're talking about. To make a long story short, the winner was the Ford Fairlane. The perfectly boring car.

Is Flight Following a Clearance? Subscriber question: “Is being on flight following enough to enter Class B, C, and D airspace? Or do I need a clearance?” — Charley V. John: “Let’s get the two easy ones out of the way first. A separate and specific clearance is always required for Class B...

For whatever reason my CFI didn't cut mine either.

What if you believe you had it but never got tested? My wife had it and confirmed by testing. Fever, etc. I got what amounted to a cold while she had it, but never tested but did lose my taste so pretty sure I had it.

Excerpt: In the latter two cases, AMEs will need to defer the exam of the pilot or controller and put it in the FAA’s court to deal with. With similar conditions, the FAA will require what is often expensive medical testing before they will issue the pilot medical certification...
