You are probably flying the 172 R model (2000-ish), I remember a instructor telling me that there is something with the engine that on a cold engine the plugs foule pretty quick. After a flight I never leaned the engine for taxi back to the ramp. Never had problems with that. About the mixture...

Well, in the Netherlands we have this NOTAM active... Belgium completely banned all VFR traffic except police, medical and army. So who knows what may come... A0677/20 - COVID-19: FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH PHYSICAL DISTANCING MEASURES COVID-19 BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES BASED ON...

Didn't do the Coliseum route but I did the LA SFRA crossing. It takes you right over LAX at 3500 or 4500 (depending on the way you are going), uncontrolled. There was only one other aircraft on the advisory freq and I found it a pretty easy way to do this.

Tried it when flying in and out of Scottsdale. All I got was vectors to fly around certain areas, I was flying VFR in uncontrolled airspace. On the way back into Phoenix area, when I didn't know one of the "mountain parts" the controller asked, I got the stamp "dangerous".. They kept asking if I...

Over Europe this is a thing on guard as well... "funny" phone sounds, farts, animal sounds... Never heard this on CTAF freqs. Listening to the background sounds and the powerfull modulation, these has to be airliner pilots.

Another video of my trip back in April. The Page KPGA to Canyonlands KCNY leg was amazing! (make sure you pick highest quality setting)

Throwback to April when I was flying from Scottsdale. The "Badger" flight landed when I was approaching.

Did you ever fly Page to Moab (Canyonlands field) route? Really worth the trip! After some weeks of flying in the area this was one of my last trips and I was amazed by the views :-).

Looking to fly again as I really enjoyed it earlier this year.. Any advices about renting a plane from a company that allows it for 3-4 overnight? I sadly did not got a reply from Aviatorstein. SouthWest was a good place but the plane I prefered was out for (serious) maintenance and the backup...

I use it as well, but not on my knee. It is on a suction cup on the window, flew +- 45 hours with it in Arizona last month. Never had any issues with overheating. If you connect a powerbank to it, it will not be heavy and works like a charm. Beside that, I do think the device is overpriced... I...

Video from my KSMO to KLAS flight last month; That hotel on short final... do they land the big guys on that runway as well? You will be blown out of your room...

We used to fly here a lot (Netherlands) on MOGAS but the airport removed it as it got replaced by UL91 (+-$4 more per gallon). There is a STC for MOGAS operation on the Cessna 172 and Piper Warriors (non inject engines) I flew, replacing the pump(s) and some hoses. I never had any problems with...

Used Gibbs at KMYF this month. Well, I only needed fuel and one overnight (used self aranged uber)... no complaints.

For example you are on a vector from flight following to get you out of the way of something, when clear they say “resume own navigation”.. in other words, fly to whatever you want. About the altitude restriction, I experienced last week atc said “resume own navigation, altitude is yours”. I...

Some pics of my Page to Moab leg today. Flying home to flat Netherlands on monday.. will miss the scenery!

Pinal airpark yesterday (Search my C172 hha)

I think I did around 2:30 hr from KSMO to KLAS. But I do have to say that winds were fine and SOCAL app let me enter Burbank C and climb out pretty quick. Mcarran was pretty friendly and reasonable on the fees ($40 + $60 that can be waived with 15 gal $7.99 fuel). Departed this morning back via...

Inbound Las Vegas KLAS today, downwind rwy 19R. Weather along the coast of LA was pretty bad today. Departed with a slight tailwind out of KSMO, as the marine layer (OVC005) was opening up overhead the airport. Yesterday was nice and clear, taken in the SFRA over LAX.

Marble Canyon (L41) yesterday. Approaching San Diego (KMYF) today.
