Interesting...though...the 2 way has to be with the Tower, at least I thought. Folks above say if it’s TRACON, I’m good. Next question...how do I know if it’s TRACON? I’m mean, to me, it’s called So Cal Approach. Is that TRACON for the Class C?

Taking off from KCNO 26L VFR straight out puts you right below the Class C shelf for KONT for a few minutes. Take-off VFR instructions are to "maintain runway heading at or below 2,500". The Class C shelf is 2,700. So far, so good. Switching to Flight Following, I hear, "N324CD cancel...

I was going to fly my Cirrus today from So Cal to KCEC (3.5 hrs), but wow...the wind...yesterday aggressive gust / crosswind conditions and more today...forecast 17 - 25kt 40 degree crosswind. Yesterday forecast was the same, but METAR was even worse. ForeFlight comments point out wind issues...

OK, so my plane is finally ADSB / WAAS. What’s a fun first WAAS approach in So Cal? Never flown one.

Headed to airport to pick up my plane which has new ADS-B. Do I have to test it with ATC on the first flight? I found this tool: https://adsbperformance.faa.gov/PAPRRequest.aspx But I'm also wondering if I just get flight following on the way home and they will tell me if all's OK. Any...

No. My plane comes back with WAAS today. I want to review approach types. For example, one post above is inaccurate I believe...that only ILS is precision. I believe LPV is also.

Beyond putting lives at risk, it boggles my mind that someone would do what it takes to reach the airline level and then drink before flying. I mean, many of us know what it takes to just get to IFR, let alone ATP, multi, type, build up hours, get through interviews. And then drink. I just...

I’m a 2.5 year IFR pilot and get rusty from time to time on all the different approach types...which are precision, which aren’t, which require WAAS, which don’t. So many types: Localizer, VOR, RNAV: LNAV / VNAV LPV, LNAV, GLS, RNP, Baro VNAV. Has anyone ever seen a simple chart listing all...

Undecided...may even fly commercial. Just want to be near the show if possible. Looks like it’s all booked already!

Can’t believe I’ve never been to OSH. What’s the most convenient decent hotel? This time, I’m booking EARLY.

Thanks for this...will listen today!

Addendum from the "dumb", ignorant, "troll poster" OP: Yes, I recently passed IFR with a top score on my test and a comment from the DPE that I was one of the best prepared applicant's he had seen. He even contacted my CFII who was thrilled, because it helps his credibility. It's interesting...

Thanks all for the guidance...I learned something...and especially appreciate the guidance from kath and others. To Tommar98...who was surprised I didn’t have 91.109 fresh in mind, one of the beauties of this site is as pilots we all know we don’t remember everything or know everything. Even...

I'm IFR and current with medical. A CFII has asked me to serve as a safety pilot for his student who wants to shoot practice approaches under the hood. I am not a CFI nor a CFII. Would this be legal? Besides the legality aspect, I'm not sure I'm comfortable riding in a plane with a VFR...

I parked there last week. Yes, it’s on dirt. At least where I parked, there was no gravel. I carefully inspected the area where I’d have to taxi before start up. And coming in, airport guys were there to help push me in. Not sure if that will always be the case though. Runway was great...

In theory you should get a pop-up clearance. In practice, this has become increasingly difficult in busy urban areas. I tried recently to pick up a clearance in the air, and the controller was not happy. In another instance, I was simply getting a clearance for a plan already filed (took off...

OK...here's a new one...I think... I long held a 3rd Class Medical, and converted over to BasicMed two years ago (reminder to those who did the same: time to re-take the course or your medical is not valid!). Now I'm going on to Commercial after getting IFR ticket. Question: If I fail at...

Bet you can get an incredible bargain right now. I know someone selling a pristine retract and can’t seem to give it away. There’s a surplus of retracts due to FAA’s decision not to require complex time for Commercial if applicant uses a TAA (Technically Advanced Aircraft) instead. Prices...

I go to KPSP Palm Springs on a regular basis, but hate leaving my plane out in the HOT desert air...gets up to the 120’s from time to time. Anyone know where I can rent temp hangar space? Next trip is May 10 - 12. I have contacted the FBO’s. They want $115 a night! Thank you.

Tried it...this is the old app for XP. It downloads fine and even boots up on Windows 10. But clicking on the Power / Volume button does nothing...it's basically DOA...at least for me on 2 different computers. Oh well...
