    Approaches, Holds, and Safety Pilot

    I swear these questions pop up weekly and everyone has a different answer on PIC logging. When practicing flying in simulated instrument conditions with a safety pilot, both the pilot flying the aircraft by reference to instruments and the safety pilot may log PIC time if the safety pilot is...

    ISO Safety Pilot - Wash DC Area

    I'm searching for a safety pilot to tag along on some flights. I'm working on my IFR and building XC and simulated hood time. I don't know many pilots outside of instructors, but lots of students at VKX. Anyone interested let me know. I typically rent the Cherokee's or an Arrow.

    $199 ADSB In from ForeFlight

    PIREP: I purchased the Scout on Thursday through Amazon and did a flight yesterday in an Arrow from KVKX to KHMZ. I previously had a Garmin GLO for GPS - less than $100 last time I checked. I've used both StratusX and Stratus 2s before and this setup is by far much simpler and easier to setup...

    Foreflight download problem

    If your home router doesn't do any filtering, than most likely the public IP address of your home network is blacklisted. You probably have a DHCP assigned address from your ISP versus static, so when it changes it'll probably just start working.

    is GA dream at all realistic?

    This is an expensive hobby but is very enjoyable. Your mission definitely requires at a minimum six place aircraft - easily six figures to own + costs... I just got my PPL this year with similar lifelong ambition to fly that just took awhile to fruition. Most enjoyable time is taking the kids up...

    What kind of commercial, for hire work, can I do in a Navajo?

    Very cool. Times have changed, I had to practically beg the crew for some wings for my son's first commercial ride a few years back.

    If you read some of the articles on this guy he had a very troubled youth - child neglect, abuse, rape then drugs/etc. Definitely a troubled life and he expressed it in his music

    That device has two "standard" usb ports "Dual 5V/3A USB ports with PowerIQ technology offer faster charging speeds for phones and tablets." So you can use whatever normal usb cable.
