Hello all, I currently own a 65 Piper Cherokee 140. As I do more research on how I will become ads-b compliant, I have been considering the sky beacon unit. With this I will be required to have my nav lights on all the time. My question is that my nav light switch doubles as the instrument...

Thank you for the info. i polished it up and like the looks ill be installing it soon

Hello all, I bought a 65 Piper Cherokee 140 recently. During the pre buy, we noticed several cracks in the spinner cone that were stop drilled so we are replacing it with a new aluminum cone. Do I need to paint it? I like the look of polished aluminum and have considered just polishing it and...

Thank you for the info, I have found a couple gps 400's how do they stack up. I know they are just the gps but they are around $3000 for the waas vs the $5--8000 for the 430 and my com/nav radios are working.

Well I just bought the plane. So selling and buying a different one is not in the cards right now. As for the gps I have, it may be old but it is better than not having one at all. I know I can not use it for IFR approaches, it is still good for general enroute flying as long as I back it up to...

I figure it will mostly be training and practice, or pop up if im on a long cross country

Going to be about 3 weeks before I fly again. Out of town on vacation. Look forward to meeting you

I am in okc flying out of Sundance. Currently under the instruction of Scott Dorsey Here are a couple pics of my panel

Hello all, I am the proud new owner of a 65 Cherokee 140. I am working on my private right now and plan on going all the way to commerical. In January I will be changing my transponder to meet the ads-b requirement. While it is in the shop I plan on making it IFR certified. My current avionics...

Thank you for the information, that makes a lot of sense. I will take that into account.

Hello again, so I finally got around to getting my medical done. I passed and now hold a class 3. Only issue that came up is my right eye is 20/30 so I will need to look into that issue at a later date to get my class 1/2. However, I am currently looking into the local schools. I have 5 schools...

That is a option

Sounds like a part 61 school is what I want then, with the random tdy and deployment possibility.

Thank you all for the info. As for the part 61 vs 141, since the va will not help with my ppl does it matter which school I use?

Next question, One of my pilot friends suggested I get a class 2 physical over the class 3 since I plan on working towards my commercial license. Do you guys agree with this?

That makes sense. Im leaning towards the air one program, since they offer a discount for paying up front. Lots more research to do. I plan on getting my physical done by the end of Feb and start flying end of March. Again thank you for the information.

Thank you @RussR. You are correct in your assumption that I do not currently have a degree. I have been bouncing around what I wanted to major in. Before the military I had dreamed of a degree in aerospace engineering. Lately I have considered mechanical due to more potential fields of use. I...

The only program for enlisted members is the drone pilots, and I am in a critically manned career field and they won't let me apply.

Thank you for the info.

Tinker does not have an aero club. I am active duty, tuition assistance will pay for regular classes but not the flying part if I go for the OU program. No option to fly for the military, the Air Force does not have any programs for that. From my research, I should have enough saved up to...
