I don’t get how anyone can fly barefoot or in sandals! Flying I’ve gotta be in some sort of closed toed shoe

10,000ft on beautiful day going to South Florida to visit some family

Thats fantastic you recognize that you want to pursue flying as a career if you enjoy it! As of now a bachelors is required by most of the majors and preferred at the rest, it's difficult to get hired without at the moment, of course like anything else with time that can change. The regionals do...

Bass Guitar since I was about 8! As a by product of that I can play the guitar as well but not my speciality. Played in a band for a while we got to open for some of my favorite bands as the local radio station who hosted many concerts would always get a local band to be an opener as well so we...

I pretty much just do a quick walk around, plug in the cowl inlet covers, and pitot tube cover. Make note of the fuel level, Hobbs, and tach. And be on my way. I’m at a full service FBO so sometimes I’ll stick around and watch it get tucked away in the hangar if they’re doing it then. I live...

Took it up for an afternoon cruise with my friend yesterday, weather was just too nice not to get it out of the hangar and fly!

you are forgetting what i think is one of the most important key factors, useful load. the SR22 series useful load is significantly higher than the Cessna TTx ever was. Id sacrifice 20-25 knots in highspeed cruise (235ish v 210ish) any day to be able to take that much more useful load. Thats...

@flyingcheesehead when I spoke with them I was told the ES was a possibility on this airplane. I'm just trying to see if anyone has experience actually doing it. @mondtster I am leaning toward the 345, although I already receive weather and several of the other benefits just through other...

I am getting ADSB installed this year at my annual, the plan right and schedule now is the GTX345. Recently I've been looking into it a bit more and spoke with garmin directly and apparently updating your existing GTX33 transponder to ES (extended squitter) to comply with ADSB Out is an option...

I had a great time out there. Was my 10th year in a row flying to the show. I'm happy at how the weather turned out for Saturday/Sunday. Beautiful weather! I feel like flying attendance was slightly less than I recall seeing in years past, but overall the crowd was much larger than years past. I...

My plane is about 5 knots faster than book at any given power setting with better fuel than the book when leaned and flown per the book. So mine actually exceeds book values

There's plenty of ways to go about this! I use to recommend and feel that through your flight training you should keep both digital and a paper logbook. After that do what's best for you. For years I kept both paper and digital, I stopped doing a paper handwritten logbook sometime during my...

I know some things vary in some countries, but in the united states if you have a PPL for ASEL you would not need a "type rating" to fly the 172. A type rating is only required if the airplane weighs more than 12,500Lbs at MTOW and/or is powered by a turbofan or turbojet engine. While legally...

It's your flight training, which one did you feel best about? As for the one day having to switch to a G1000 sounds like a sales pitch to me in a way, while he may not be wrong, it's not that big of a point. I got my private in round and switched to G1000 through my training, I'm sure many...

The GFC700 became standard in 2008, at least on the 172’s so you’ll need to find that or newer. What’s your reason for wanting to find one with the GFC700? If it’s just to try once maybe considering driving a little further to find one if needed?

Shortly after parking and tying down at Sun ‘n Fun on Friday!

I’ve been offering this sweet deal at Sun n’ Fun since 2012, still no takers

Looking good parked in the GAP parking area! Friday was a beautiful day.

i see discussion of useful load arguments on the G36...classic For what it's worth from a purely informational standpoint. my particular 2012 182T has a a useful load of 1077.7 Lbs. pretty dang good. I easily take trips with 4 people down to the keys from where I'm at with IFR reserves and...

I was planning on flying Saturday and staying overnight to see the night airshow Saturday like every year. However the Sunday forecast doesn’t look too promising and I don’t want to get stuck Sunday in Lakeland. I’m only an hour 45 minute drive from Lakeland though so I’ll be driving Saturday...
