    I am officially a real pilot

    I just got my PPL a few months ago. I have currently less 90hrs total air time. I am real though dammit. But with so freakin much to learn it's not even sunk it how ignorant I am. And yet, I can fly a damn plane. That's something I never even considered doing a few years ago. I'm 52...

    Just got a new plane, Cherokee from a Cessna, what to expect?

    Switching tanks.. 1st switch at 30 minutes then I wait and switch at hour intervals. Sure the tanks even out at 30 min after you first switch but why switch at even, just let the opposite side get ahead by 30 minutes.

    How many hours it take you to solo?

    14 hrs but I owned my own plane and it wasn't really a big deal to me to get it done quickly. I had my ck ride at 55.9 hrs about six months later.

    iPad Mini vs. iPad Air?

    I have an ipad mini on a "Ram" yoke mount. If your eyes are young, that's a pretty good setup but with my old eyes, I am considering getting a regular size IPAD but not sure how to manage it in the small space. I don't think the mount to the left will work because I had my mini on a window...

    Attack by Crop Duster

    I know this former airline and military pilot that at some point went to a crop duster school. He didn't let anyone know his true credentials until the last day. He went out and promptly did a loop, some rolls and a bunch of other crazy ass maneuvers all the while dusting the field. When he...
