I have seen where some people have done the front and some haven't. I hadn't previously done the fronts all the way. I had a strip about 2" wide along the top of the window, similar to the tinted section across the top of a car car windshield. If you look in the "before" picture you can see it...

I know there are some that have put tint on their windows and others that would like to but are not sure how. I tinted my windows some time back and it makes a big difference. I gave rides around that pattern a few months ago and one of my nieces put some scratches in the tint so I replaced that...

I fly my wife and kids all the time. We use our plane for traveling to visit family on a regular basis from CA to AZ, UT, and ID. I fly friends on occasion but make sure they know the risks. I have also taken family members up for short flights. My wife has one rule when it comes to taking...

I lived in Eagle River back in the 80's for four years, never saw a single thunderstorm the whole time.

I use the Costco card for everything (just pay it off every month)... Usually see about $150 or so from Costco (Executive Membership Rebate on Costco Purchases) and another $800-1000 check from Citicard (used to be Amex) each year in rebates.

I have been using my Costco Visa for my Avgas since I started buying last fall after finishing my PPL. I do receive the 4% cash back on it.

Very true. I flew to Thermal for my night XC when getting my PPL last August. Landed there around 9:30-10pm and it was still 105°F. http://intothesky.us/2016/08/03/night-xc-tailwind-to-and-a-race-home/

And, as a bonus "just to say you did" KTRM elevation is -115' so you can say you landed below sea level.

Never underestimate the power of duct tape... I had considered going to see my folks in Phoenix this weekend but decided to pass on it. My dad had said "I don't know why you would come this weekend, if I didn't live here I wouldn't be here either." Instead I went to church in the morning, came...

There are a lot of different ways to do it. I chose to make it a little more involved but if you are looking for a very simple one this video can give you some ideas.

A little over a week ago I built a homemade AC for my Mooney. With the temperature at 95°F it kept it comfortable inside the cabin on the ground through run-up, take off, and climb. Once up at 11,500' I turned it off. Parts List and Instructions - http://intothesky.us/homemade-ac/

Treat it just like the first time you flew solo. Meet an instructor and take a few turns around the pattern, then drop him/her off and go take a few turns around the pattern by yourself. Once you do it I think you will feel much better about it all.

I had my PPL out of a busy Class D and got very comfortable talking with the controllers. The first time I went to an un-towered field (just so happens to be the one where I now have my plane) I stumbled all over my radio calls. The only time I was nervous talking to the tower was the first time...

South Valley Regional U42 was going to be my choice on an upcoming trip to UT however I see that it is closed until June 7th. It was closest to family that I would be visiting, but I also have family in the Provo area so was leaning towards KPVU. (Coming from CA and as everyone lives in the...

Long XC Solo Requirement: 1 solo cross country flight of at least 150nm total distance with full stop landings at 3 points and one segment of at least 50nm between T/O and landings

As we were heading back to the airport towards the end of my check-ride the DPE covered up the airspeed indicator and said "Looks like a bug must have flown into your PITOT mast." Made the rest of the flight and landing without it, really not a big deal. If flying VFR a pilot should be...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A and I use Droid EFB. I did try Fltplan but really like the features of Droid EFB.

That's one of the videos I watched to learn how to use chains to tie down. Even if you can't get the s-hook through the tie-down like in the video you can usually get one link through far enough to put another link through it (like in the video) and then the s-hook through the link to lock it...

Congratulations!!

I actually heard that exact radio call last night as I was on downwind.
