    Standard altitudes

    I would probably agree on the troll guess. This is a pretty strong stance for violation AND bragging about it. Either way, you asked where the wisdom is in the rule. I would suggest it's probably in the numbers. Maybe I'm wrong on this because I don't know the stats, but these rules have...

    What does flying do for you?

    My head time relieves my mind too. Flying was something I always wanted to do but had a tough time justifying. Once I started making an 8 hr drive a month I finally had a reason to finish it up. After 2.5 years I now fly given any opportunity because of the fun and excitement I get from...

    Anyone in Chicago want to grab a drink (11/25 - 11/26)?

    I'm around on the 25th. I'll be leaving on Sat or Sunday for my IFR finish up course. Lots of good places to go and pretend to be younger. Lots of interesting music venues. Kingston Mines is a favorite for local blues or Buddy Guy's Legends. The piano bar. For some silly show/theater type...

    POA Frequency

    It is according to the AIM. 4.1.11. It says. 122.75 is designated by the FCC for air to air communication for private fixed wing. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    What's the Worst Song You've Ever Heard?

    Ok. This is a terrible pop song. But set it on an aircraft carrier and these goofs. I did lol a bit. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Best way to lean mixture?

    Interesting... I'll go back and read the articles listed here. Always interested in learning and adjusting as needed. Guess I took for granted that my instructor had over 6k hours in type and knew what was best for the plane. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    A friend wants a Mooney J

    I bought my low wing Super Viking a month after getting my PPL in a 172. The transition training covered everything needed including hp/complex enforcement and any nuances between high wing and low wing. If your friend plans to get insurance they will mandate so many hours of transition...

    Best way to lean mixture?

    Amateur here... I do what I was taught in my transition training (fuel injected Io520k w/o engine monitor). I lean to find peak EGT ( before it starts going back down - this happens before roughness for me). Then I enrich 50 degrees (2 notches in EGT) and leave it there. Sent from my XT1080...

    How far a drive to the airport for you?

    I have about the same scenario as you (40 min drive to my airport with closer options) and started just about the same thread back in May when I was looking at hangar homes. :). Still dreaming... https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/index.php?threads/94768/ Sent from my XT1080 using...

    backing a 172 into a parking spot, probably silly question

    I thought my CFI did a good job of trying to introduce me to some of these nuances that might be taken for granted (e.g. red bar/handle thingy). In the 2 years and almost 300 hrs since I got my PPL it is amazing how many small things come up you didn't know that you needed to know. I'm sure...

    Gaston's Fly-In 2016 - Thursday Oct 13 - Sunday October 16

    I have the reservation paperwork back at home. Not sure if it has a cabin number on it. We just got a regular room. Watching all the posts are making us sad we're missing it. Next year. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Looks like we're not going to make it. I have a room reserved for tonight and tomorrow if someone would like to see about transferring it over. Pm me and I'll see if I cant have them add you to the reservation. I've already paid the first day with the reservation. Sent from my XT1080 using...

    Why's everyone cancelling their flight plans? Just follow these pilots right through it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3826697/Flying-eye-storm-Dramatic-video-shows-NOAA-pilots-enduring-turbulence-head-center-Hurricane-Matthew.html Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
