Let's say you've been cleared to an airport, your clearance limit is the airport correct? Not the last fix you put in your filed flight plan route as this video and my CFII said? Skip to 8:15 mark In the video, he says the same thing my CFII taught me, that your clearance limit is the last...

Sorry, i just re-read that, i see the confusion. I was told to file from Origin to Destination, and the last fix in the route box put a fix from which an approach begins. But if my clearance limit is the airport, that makes no difference if I put in a fix that happens to be an IAF or not...

I was taught to file a fix from which an approach begins so if you were in a lost comms situation, you could just hit the IAF, hold until your ETA, then start the approach. But if your clearance limit is the airport, won't you have to fly over the filed IAF to your clearance limit (The...

Here are my scenario based questions: Scenario 1: You file from Origin to Destination via ABC Vor. - Is your clearance limit the ABC Vor or Destination airport? Scenario 2: You file from origin to destination DIRECT - Is your clearance limit the destination since there is no route? Scenario...

It was another website, basically a map of the entire country with every restaurant at an airport and all up to date as of this month. I'll have to find it again

I found a website that has a map of every restaurant on an airport. Here's some of the restaurants for Illinois: Wilkey's Cafe - KMVN High Flyers Grille - KALN The Hangar Restaurant - 2T2 (grass runway) Airport Steakhouse - KMTO Main Hangar Restaurant - KDEC Bluehaven Cafe - KUIN CJ's Family...

I heard about this from an instructor from the area who said the instructor and student did a good amount of practice at uncontrolled fields and the student was told to always do a 45 degree entry into the downwind. It just so happen to be they had always done downwind entries at this towered...

I've been using the jepp plates on the Garmin Pilot app for quite some time now. I find myself using both the gov charts and jepp to stay current with both.

Garmin Pilot! Even tells you if you need an alternate. One time, changing the ETD by 5 minutes was the difference between legally needing an alternate and not. Also tells you which alternates are legal. But you asked about VFR. I prefer Foreflight for VFR, and Garmin Pilot for IFR. Mainly...

Since the PA46-310P Malibu burns 14-16gph LOP, and the PA46-350P Mirage burns 21-23gph ROP, is the PA46-310P in higher demand? I'm watching a PA46-310P on flightaware right now... 1400 miles non-stop flying against a headwind. I don't think the Mirage can do that?

You'd have to buy an older Meridian with the meggitt EFIS in order to be similar in price with a Mirage with G1000 From Controller: 2014 Merdian $1.7M, $1.6M 2014 PA46-350P Mirage $875,000, $865,000, $855,000 2003 Meridian $825,000 2001 Meridian $849,000 2002 PA46-350P Mirage $489,000...

Piper Malibu 310 or Mirage 350 would compete with the P210, experimental Lancair IV-P, and B58P Baron Piper Matrix (not pressurized) would compete with the Saratoga TC, A36 TN or B36TC, Mooney Acclaim, Cessna T240, SR22T, and maybe even the Baron 55/58 Piper Malibu JetProp or Meridian would...

Dulles Aviation, American Aviation, and Aviation Adventures are the 3 fight schools at HEF that I know of. There are about a dozen or so CFIs at HEF that I've met who own their own planes but don't actively seek new students - mainly by referral kind of thing. Just curious, what do you mean by...

I agree the aircraft was wrong to cut you off on final. I've been on the other side of this. Bad hotel eggs for breakfast caused problems for myself and passengers flying in a new aircraft with the 'new plane smell'. It was a short flight and everyone agreed they could hold it. After shooting...

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between a Cessna 180, Cessna 182, and Cessna 185 on floats? Been trying to learn more about floatplanes.

Not based there but I fly into there a lot. Never a pleasant experience. SGJ has the rudest tower controllers I've ever dealt with.

I think this is an interesting topic because more and more people are buying 'drones', and most of them have a camera on them. Anyone can buy one and fly it someplace and film what they want. There are videos on YouTube where people test the 1st amendment by flying their 'drone' over military...

I'm a huge fan of Garmin Pilot. AFAIK there aren't any other apps out there besides hiring a dispatch service that gives you an extra layer of legal protection from things like accidentally filing an illegal alternate or filing without putting an alternate when one is required. There have been...

No doubt the PA32 will carry more and the pax in the back will enjoy the extra room, especially that third row

Stopped using FF last year. Love Garmin Pilot even more (and they give it to me for free!)
