Your plane will fall into the 100 hrs inspections instead of annuals. And your insurance will more than double. If you!re looking to cut cost? Me thinks you're looking in the wrong place.

All survived= Perfect landing!

KBHM is my hanger. A lot of times on approach. ATC will use IFR locations (I am VFR), to point out traffic. Such as N##### clear to land, you are number 2, traffic to follow crossing MCDEN. The first time this happened it caught me off guard. I replied unfamiliar with MCDEN. And he replied...

I Have been on four trips over 4 hrs. The fist one was non stop. The next three I planned stops after about 3 hours. I was exhausted after the first one. The next three, not so much. It's good to get out, walk around, get circulation back in your legs. Plus getting fuel releaves any stress for...

My first solo was in the rain. I had to do two go around's before landing on the third try. I was sweating like a Clinton at a tax audit. I remember thinking on the third downwind. There's only two options, land or crash. Therefore I landed!

Practice, practice, practice. I posted a very similar thread like this about a year ago. One day it just started clicking. Hang in there.

Congrats! Enjoy the freedom of the sky.

C 182 here. 1st set of flaps two spins trim up. 2nd set of flaps two spins. Full flaps 2 spins.

Wow! That is some panel porn!

Didn't see the other post. KEET is one of my practice fields. I fly out of Birmingham.

I don't have a link or info. Other than it looks like an SR 22 with one fatality.

Do it. Love my S2. Zero regrets.

$350 per day plus expenses is the fee for an Instrument rated pilot at KBHM.

I fly out of BHM. Got my ticket through the Birmingham flight center. Give them a call. If you want to train out of somewhere close they may work with you. If not they will get you in touch with a CFI in your area. They are a great bunch of pilots. I am working on my IFR rating with them right...

I passed my checkride at 80 hrs and 10 months. To be honest I couldn't believe he was signing me off for the checkride. I didn't think I was ready. I was off on steep turns, was having a little trouble hitting the short field landings, etc. But he kept saying you're ready. My first landing...

Right there with you. I talk myself out of going way more than talking myself into going!

Why is anyone flying without a backup handheld? That is $250.00 worth of insurance. I value my and my family's life to much to not have one.

I'm 52. Just bought my first plane. Or was it a car? No it was a plane!

I have a 1984 182 R. Paid a good bit less than that for it. I am biased. But I am 52 and don't like climbing in from the passenger side and over the passenger seat to get in anything. The two doors on the 182 are awesome. I also like the high wing when on the ground and it's raining. Also when...

Awsome! I am getting ready for my IFR written. Can't wait to read about your experience. Now go get a passenger, fly into a cloud and start screaming!!
