    Flying out to Pittsburgh airport suggestions?

    Thanks everyone. It went great. Corporate set everything up for me. Reasonably priced, more or less. I filed both directions since I just got my IFR and wanted to work in the system, even though it was so nice out there was not need to shoot an approach.

    Flying out of Robbinsville tomorrow (N87)

    They gave me a normal flight plan, just quickly factored me to more or less keep me out of the tfr. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Flying out of Robbinsville tomorrow (N87)

    I know N87 has a keyhole to avoid the Trump TFR. I was planning on filing IFR, and the usual initial point is the Robbinsville VOR, also technically outside the TFR. But, from n87 to the VOR puts you briefly through the TFR. If I file should I.... 1. File normally since IFR it is permitted...

    Is it worth it?/Which aircraft

    PA46's could be a good place to start. Either piston or turboprop variety. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Small amount of water in one tank.

    I consistantly get some water in the right tank if the plane (PA32R) is outside during heavy rainfall, maybe 1/2 to 1 oz. Never more than that. It always is easy to drown off, and is always just in the wing, never in the belly sump. Plane has always flown just fine after draining. At annual I...

    Flying out to Pittsburgh airport suggestions?

    Corporate air was great so far. Called them and in 10 minutes they know I was coming. Explained all the fees. Set up a rent car for me. Got me a hotel room. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Balancing my PA-32-300

    My Saratoga if anything in straight and level flight is usually trimmed slightly behind neutral. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Balancing my PA-32-300

    This sounds off on a PA32. They are generally very nose heavy and like nose up trim. What was in the plane and where? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Private Pilot Checkride VOR requirements

    Three years ago my examiner wanted me to be able to track a VOR, identify a VOR, and be able to use a VOR to find your location on a map. I know VOR are somewhat going away, but it will be years before they are fully gone. Know how to use them. I can also tell you if you start doing IFR, it...

    Ever weigh your junk?

    Is this going to turn into a wing measuring contest? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Ever weigh your junk?

    I have generally always rounded up on passengers to account for headsets and unaccounted for stuff. I also tend to keep some oil, batteries, tie downs, chalks, cowel plugs, and a cover in the plane. I routinely add 10 or 15 lbs in may w&b to account for that stuff. Maybe it should be more...

    Flying out to Pittsburgh airport suggestions?

    Yeah, I saw ACG is about a 25 minute drive I to town. Will call them today to make sure they have a tie down, and then have to decide to rent a car or just Uber it. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Flying out to Pittsburgh airport suggestions?

    I am flying from NJ to Pittsburgh on Saturday morning and likely staying overnight Saturday. I was likely going to use Allegheny County Airport (KAGC). any suggestions or advice for this airport? Other airports close to the city would also be considered. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    I can now punch holes in clouds!!!!!!

    Yeah, to make a plane a truly useful traveling machine you almost need IFR on the east coast. I am still allowed to be a little nervous about getting it wet correct? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    LED Tail Light on 172SP

    Just put the Whelen Orion series 600 nav/strobes on the wingtips of a PA32. Simple install, look great. About $1500 for the lights and the shop to install them. That may seem a little steep, but knowing they will never burn out, and are brighter and therefore safe seemed worth it. Sent from my...

    Apparent plane crash on TPC Scottsdale Golf Course

    I also wonder what the timeline is. Was the cocaine used before the original departure from Vegas or was it used just before the takeoff that led to the crash? How long was the plane on the ground in Arazona? If it was used in Arazona is is much more likely the CFI and/or the passengers knew...

    Need a DPE NJ area

    Plane is at KBLM, I live near Robbinsville. I am willing to travel a bit to get this done. My dad used Peggy, I sent her a text, and do not care if it is the Philly or Teterburo FISDO. Any other names would be great. I am ready to go and do not want to get rusty. Especially after the plane...
