I have close to 2000 landings in retracts and I dont remember ever coming even close to gear up ( I am very forgetful BTW ) I attribute this to the initial training during my first complex checkout and the instructor drilled into me to lower the gear to slow down on downwind. So first thing I do...

when I lived in NE Indiana wind was no factor at this http://airnav.com/airport/1I8 airport

Rapid city SD in June 2017 landed with winds 30 KTs with 40° cross wind

Thank you all for your help

It will be strictly VFR flight although I have IR and plane is very capable IFR IMC in mountains is no go. Prepared to wait out

Next week I am planning a flight from my Home base at KFKL to go to Cedar City Utah - KCDC. Straight line terrain west of Denver is higher than me or my plane can deal with. so I will have to go around the terrain. I have some mountain flying experience but not a lot. The plane is Piper Lance (...

I do have a sea plane ratings ( only 6 hours during training , never used it again ) and Little While ago I pondered idea of getting into amphibious/floats to try something new. I looked into Lake LA 4 and other models but I was told that they are neither good land planes nor good sea planes. Of...

Well initially thinking about a twin but my children had grown up now ( still in college but just don't want to fly with me anymore ) so I do not see any need for large airplane. Instead seriously thinking about start training for a rotary wing and I have pretty good prospect of getting into...

Good points . Agree 100% Thanks yes that what I heard that market is good. But its a T tail Lance and has 7100 Hrs TT on air frame but otherwise it is very well equipped and well maintained with lots of new things in last few years. We will find out soon what market has to offer

I have no idea.Never thought about selling it Love the plane but need to try other things so I have to make room.

Thanks Tom There is no damage history on this propellers. Conditions is good and during last 11 years of my ownership there has been no leaks and it needed filing only 2-3 times so very little loss of metal. Now the reason I brought this topic up was because here is what I am thinking. The new...

I am getting my airplane ready for sale. While discussing with mechanic he suggested that propeller OH might help with sale. Its 3 blade Hartzell installed new on 10/2000 .Since then TT on propellers is 2080 hours. According to Hartzell owners manual OH limits are 2400 hrs or 72 months. Of...

Anyone knows why some planes like my Lance and Cessnas have corrugated skin on flaps and ailerons while others like Mooneys dont ?

I don't think you need any specific rule for VFR or IFR . If wx is IMC then you file IFR flight plan . Period . And a safety pilot no more needed because you are under direct control of ATC. . So in IMC question of who logs as PIC is moot. The guy/girl who filed the FP and is operating plane...

May be not forever but for a long time. I am not an expert on this subject but here is what I am thinking. Us shale production of crude oil will keep going up for a foreseeable future and OPEC will react by increasing the production to drive CO price down to hurt US shale profits. OTOH more more...

What do you fly?

There is a lots of discussion on other thread about how prices of airplanes increasing - mostly focused on singles. How is the market for twins doing ? If the prices for singles is going up and twins are not up that much then it might be a good time for me to move up to a twin.

Just for couple of hundred more I would get a real tug from EZ40

lowest I have ever took off was 6°F . Planning to fly today and temp will be close to 2 ° F . that will be new record for me

under standard conditions , POH of my plane says no flaps on take off so I dont use it.
