    I really do no understand how you take off without checking the tanks, let alone not looking at the fuel gauges.

    Tricky question

    Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. it's legal till you get caught. And I think that's how most people do it. But do you really want to risk all the money you put into training and possibly a huge fine? If you are just put money into the stock market.

    Aircraft financing

    Try lightstream.com by Suntrust Bank. They do unsecured loans for a pretty high amount and generally don't ask too many questions. I got 15K for 4.5% unsecured in about thirty mins and the only thing they asked was what I was buying. Rates are pretty good to. I would also not use the word...

    suggestions on how to pay.

    I would highly recommend a second job if you really want to get into flying, or even if you don't want to fly. Even joining a club you are going to spend a good bit of money doing it. But Also, I would look into something else other than the restaurant industry. Maybe look into warehousing or...

    Plane suggestions?

    I went with a cheap 150 after I got my PPL. About 55 dollars an hour operating cost, and my insurance was about 550 for the first year with 45 TT. It was not fast, but if you are building time it doesn't really matter I think. I did 75 hrs last year in it. You can probably get a decent 172 or...

    Appreciate pireps for Garmin 196 vs 296

    When I got my C150 it came with a 196. I really didn't use it till I left my Ipad in Iceland on Vacation. I've never had a problem with lighting unless I have it turned down all the way accidently. Of course the wings block out most of the sun I get. I have never had an issue with mine. I like...

    RT-359A transponder mode C reading consent 500 feet

    No it was not, it was when I was airborne. So I think it's just coming off the antenna? Which makes we wonder if I have something up with my radios because I had someone tell me that my radio they could hear a pulsing noise in the background when I was talking.

    RT-359A transponder mode C reading consent 500 feet

    The reading is coming from ATC when I pick up flight following. Is this radio encoder a separate piece of equipment from the transponder and encoder? Or is it built into one of them? I think I might go to another shop and have them check it out. And the encoder I had replaced as the one that...

    RT-359A transponder mode C reading consent 500 feet

    It's been checked out with it installed and it checked out fine for them. They also checked the lines running behind the panel. I also check the wires liked arnoha suggested and from what I can tell the harness looks fine. Is it possible that the wires are not going to the correct pin?

    RT-359A transponder mode C reading consent 500 feet

    So I have an issue with my RT-359A transponder. It does not read out mode C right and will only read out mode C. Which I think my local controllers are getting tired of dealing with it. I replaced the encoder and had the transponder bench tested. And it read fine on the bench but got it back in...

    I went to KCRG (Jacksonville executive) back in late August on last min trip. $10 dollar a night tie down, and fuel was about on par for the area. About a 25 dollar uber ride to the beach each way. I got a hotel across from the beach for $100 a night and about a 10 min walk to the restaurants...
