Yep. My AA5 has the upgrade as well as a cruise prop and STEC 40 autopilot. Makes for a nice 2 place plus baggage plane.

Here are the NOTAMs listed for 2/25/23 related to the X60 airport. Looks like everything was in order for all but the runways to be closed... X60 02/297 Aerodrome 02/25/2023 1221 02/25/2023 2300 AD AP SELF SERVE AVGAS NOT AVBL 2302251221-2302252300 X60 02/287 Aerodrome 02/24/2023 2000...

I flew a AA1 from Florida to New Hampshire years ago for a client. If I with two of us, we had to share a toothbrush because packing a second one would put us over weight... I had a Grumman AA5 traveler. It has the similar wing as the AA1. It's for sale at almost the same price point as some...

As a baby aviator I was a helicopter harlot and would fly pretty much anything that I could get my hands on in order to build time. With a grand total of 250 hours, I was convinced to fly the first 10 hours off of a Rotorway 162F. It paid $15 per flight hour. The good - the 162F had FADEC of...

yes.

I fly over every 3 weeks. You will not be asked for any papers to include a radio license.

I always bring some type of a treat for the folks at MYAT. They work out of an RV at the airport and it’s always appreciated. Most of the time it’s frozen thin mint Girl Scout cookies.

I have a guy local to me who I have helped get set up with panel design. He is using CAD and a plasma cutting table. I think he just purchased one of the panel design software programs commercially and went to work. There are several type groups who share this info freely though. The PA32...

MYEF is an airport of entry. No reason to stop on your way over unless there is something that I am not aware of in your flight plan. Freeport can be costly when trying to clear through there, plus it adds time to your trip. Just fly direct and clear when you get there. Sent from my...

Where would you land short? There is nothing along that general route that I am aware of. I would purposely avoid Freeport myself. If anything, dip a little further south and land in Bimini. KOBE direct MYEF is a good plan and gives you the divert option to Bimini.

You will never here me complain about that mindset. In the Bahamas, we never throw anything out - just in case you need it later. Two is one, one is none. I haver two generators "just in case."

Way overthinking it. I'll say it again, there is no requirement for any document or letter of authorization but if you are compelled to make one up have some fun with it. I am thinking something like - Roses are red. Violets are blue. Here is my airplane, from me to you.

I have never, ever (and I repeat ever) been asked for one, and there is also no hard fast rule that I am aware of. As a matter of fact, the only place I have ever seen a "requirement" is in the AOPA guide to the flying in the Bahamas. The C7A form does not have a place for it and that is the...

I fly from north central Florida to the Abacos monthly and have fought this fight. Used to have a Cherokee 6. Now have a Cessna 310Q. My flight is routinely under 2 hours. The 414A and the 421B/C have been in my sights lately. MX is the biggest thing for me. For you, it would be the...

Among many other things, I have a dealer's license and have bought, sold and brokered a couple of planes. You need to contact a company like AIC. I worked with a lady by the name of Darzhane who cleared my most recent title issue. They can, for a small fee, do what is called a "quiet title"...

I flew out of Bob White for a while. This was back in the day of the Delta Connection Academy and their hundreds of pilots flying around using the Connection xyz call sign. Now I think it's L3 with the Bucky call sign.

KSFB is a soup sandwich with all of the flight training that comes out of there. The controllers forget that sometimes there are professional pilots that do work in between the airlines and the students.

Very familiar with that airspace. If you are in a slow plane and flying low you will be vectored. When I make that type of a trip I am in a 310 and usually around 7500-9500' and still get vectored for arrivals at times depending on the winds. If you can stay below the Class B it will be your...

I rent my Grumman AA5 (with autopilot) for $90/ hour dry. The renter can choose how much fuel they want to burn. Other places local to me are renting a Warrior for $140 wet and a 172 for $175 wet.

One word- icing...
