    Yep, we need a constitutional amendment.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    I thought being a member was like, you know, a mailing list or something.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    Called AOPA to get some advice on purchasing a plane. The recording that answered said I needed my AOPA #. Do you have to be a member to talk to them?

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    Quick question, can someone tell me roughly what the typical cost for insurance on a Cessna 150 would be? I'm just trying to get a rough idea. I don't know what information I would need to give you to make a more accurate guess, But I'm seriously thinking about buying a Cessna 150.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    Never saw him do it. He got rid of that plane before I was old enough to remember.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    The 150 is hypothetical. The grass strip is pretty well whichever, but ours in particular too (1,800 ft.).

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    Assuming the treadmill is big enough to support the aircraft, then yep.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    To get other perspectives. I love my father, but he's not the only resource for information in the world.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    I actually did a goodly portion of my training in the 150. I soloed in the 150. Loved that plane. The guy I was renting from had that and the SP. he sold the 150. Now I have to use the SP. Great plane.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    Just thought it would bog the plane down. May not take off with two people in it. Maybe I'm wrong.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    That's what my dad said. Don't know if I'm going to be able to have a passenger with me though.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    One end has more obstacles than the other. One end has about another 1,500 ft. (at least) until the tree line. The other end there are trees kind of off to the side a little bit, but no real obstacles I don't think.

    Will a 150 take off on grass?

    I want to explore the topic of Cessna 150s on short grass fields. My father used to own a '59 model 150, and he says they will certainly takeoff on grass, as he used to fly out and into our 1,800 ft. grass runway here at home. Once I get my ticket, which will probably be here in a couple of...

    Ipad

    Do you think pilots will soon be phased out altogether as automation takes over? Or do you think that's a long way off?

    Ipad

    So you're saying I should get an iPad instead of a regular Garmin GPS?

    Ipad

    I guess this is a new thing since I've been out of the loop. I see lots of videos with ipads mounted to the yoke. I presume people are using them for GPSs now? I'm looking to get my own GPS soon. Is an Ipad a good choice? What program is used on them?

    My Road to the PPL

    One thing I think looking back is that when my instructor signed me off to solo, I don't think he should have done it. I wasn't truly ready. It was as perfect a solo, with three textbook landings that could not have been more beautiful, but time has told me that I still wasn't where I needed to...

    Just checked my logbook. Didn't start doing stalls until 6 hours in.

    My Road to the PPL

    Shoot, my instructor showed me how to slip into a field on my first lesson.
