Hey, y'all, you just convinced me to go for IFR sooner than later - great job! :cool: Living in PNW makes IFR mandatory! :)

Columbia river estuary and Astoria bridge underneath. Right next to KAST. Beautiful December day..

Agree with the instructor change. If there is no immediate improvement (give him/her couple weeks) go for the school change. On that note, it only dawned on me how to land after over 200 landing, until my instructor took controls during the final approach, and it just came together. After...

On that bathroom - similar job (no shower, kept cabinet, new granit, tile, paint, fixtures) cost me less than $5k with labor to include refreshing the laundry room. Look for different labor, this is highway robbery. On the house - same approach. Get general contractors talking with you. Shop...

Question to all owners - what do you do to write off your costs (to own a plane)? On the subject - thinking of buying. Here are my thoughts on the subject of money - if you can afford it do it. Whatever that means to you. Everyone has different priorities - for some real estate comes first...

Thank you, makes sense. I left lights and pitoh heat on, beacon was not working :(

Hey guys, I thought I'd ask here so I would not start yet another topic. I am a student pilot, flying 172. I was pre-flying it and let the master on (I know, I know...). Gas truck came to top it off and I stepped out (with master still on). When I came back and try to start it it would not...

Soloed finally! After 50 hours. New instructor had to teach me landings from scratch and to actually fly, to what does what, what happens if. Rainy season is coming, but now I have more time to do it, so I against weather. But finally soloed! Yes, Virginia, there is light at the end of the...

So finally after 30 hours and almost 100 landings I had to fire my CFI. "But let me tell you why". Sad story really, and half of that is my fault. Half of way I realized that he did not really have a syllabus. He was not using the one I had (Gleim's) and I thought he actually had a plan, it...

Congrats on job well done! (you've landed, right? :))

I will be 53 this year and I started it a few months back; intend to get my PPL by the end of September - this is all for fun. Will continue to getting IFR and then commercial; how long it will take depends on weather really. Will get my plane hopefully next year. Think of it like that -...

Hello all, another wanna-be pilot here. I will solo in about two weeks or so. I have just under 30 hours. Before the solo I'll still have to have another 2.5 hours or so. On that I have a question - isn't this a bit too much time for a pre-solo?
