Sorry, it wasn’t entirely clear from your comment... what did you think about the music? [emoji6]

Good points. 1) His Clarity Aloft headset was acting up on the flight out, so he switched to a backup Flightspeed headset on the way back. 2) It was COLD, so my jacket was on both ways. He may not have had a jacket on for the flight out (I don’t recall), but jackets were a good choice that...

Not that runway at that airport. Not sure why, but it’s the only runway where the VASI is pilot-controlled, not tower-controlled.

A friend of mine just launched his new aviation YouTube channel and the first video posted is a flight he and I took (with some other friends) to/from lunch that was racing back to beat weather moving into the home airport area. Just prior to landing on the return trip, the tower announced...

Heard back from one of the brokers and the 25 companies he's checked with are unwilling to underwrite coverage for operations with less than $30,000 of annual revenue. Given that this will probably be (at most) a night or two a week and one weekend day, it's unlikely that I'll ever get to that...

Sounds like a pretty good outcome given the circumstances. Too bad about the plane, but really glad everyone walked away from it. Any idea what caused the forced landing?

Cool flight and cool video! Congrats on the first "trip"!

My wife joked (I think?!) that we should get divorced and put everything in her name, so then there'd be nothing at risk. You know... except her skipping town with her new boyfriend. ;)

Ahh, there it is. Additional training with minimal additional exposure could lead to lower claims overall. Which part makes no sense to you... that I'd want to form an LLC or that the AOPA and Avemco policies wouldn't cover me if I did? I would be covered by the school if I work for them, and...

That makes sense, but in such a frustrating way. I have the knowledge, experience, motivation and ability to teach people to fly... but the lawyers and insurance companies are likely going to keep me from doing so.

Not the tower, but here are a few numbers to help get you started (from the Remarks section of the airport info in ForeFlight):

I really hope I don’t get offers like that. I’d be clearing the whole block... at least until after I ate all of the pies and could no longer fit out of the door to get outside. [emoji6]

One of the brokers is a longtime friend who is planning to “go to school” on aviation insurance for me. He’s unfamiliar, but knows that he’s my “expert” on this stuff so will likely sniff out the best options by using his contacts. The other broker is well-versed in this stuff, but I have no...

I recently (finally) got my CFI certificate and was pretty excited about it at first. That initial excitement, however, was quickly tempered as I started to look into insurance options. I’ve seen a handful of CFI insurance posts here, but nothing that directly addresses what I’m trying to...

We had something similar in our 172N recently. Turned out to be a bad alternator that then took the voltage regulator with it. Not sure if your situation is the same, but I’d have an A&P take a look there to start.

Works great, but the club doesn’t need it anymore. We also have a metal mounting plate for a Cessna 172, if you want it. Database hasn’t been updated in a while, but not sure what the latest version is offhand (but I can get and share that info, if needed). Asking $400 obo

I was hopeful, but that's great to hear! Keep us posted on your progress!

I've been working on scheduling a demo flight for the last week or so. I'm curious as to whether my fear of heights will keep me from enjoying it before I sign up for a full training course and buy some equipment. I'm fine in an airplane, but did NOT like skydiving (got talked into trying it and...

It's further than you said you want to go, but KALO has a pilot lounge with comfy chairs AND a room with bunk beds you could sleep in overnight.
