    Buying an airplane...

    Well, after looking into several options I found one that might work out for me. A couple issues though, first it's about 800 miles away. I'd feel a lot better if I could look at it with my own eyes. Secondly, it's out of annual by several months. Not the end of the world but that would have...

    Cherokee 140/160

    Thanks for all of the feedback. I called regarding the PA28, it is based at KAPA and was just used by a guy for his PPL. Assuming he was training during the summer and it managed to haul a CFI and student, it would probably work. In the same call, I also learned there was a Dakota that I...

    Cherokee 140/160

    I appreciate all of the feedback. Since the majority of my 250 hours have been spent in the Denver area, I'm well aware what effect density altitude will have on the climb rate of any aircraft. I fully plan on using a 182 to head west when the need arises. I have no delusions on how a...

    Cherokee 140/160

    Roger that. I remember my mountain checkout, departing KLXV with a DA of over 11000 in a PA-28R-201 was no picnic. That was with me, my CFI and partial fuel. It took a lot of runway to get going, and I'm glad there wasn't much climbing to be done for a while...

    Cherokee 140/160

    Thanks. Will the additional 10hp with the STC make all that much of a difference in the climb? I suppose there's always the option of a climb prop but that will not be a good thing for XC speed either...

    Cherokee 140/160

    I'm doing some plane shopping and am leaning towards a PA-28 with the 160hp STC. I'm aiming for a plane that will meet 80% of my mission: solo XC flights within about 300-350 nm. I figure I can always rent a 182 if needed. In looking around, it seems I'm able to get a bit more for the money...

    Flying and Guns

    I usually am carrying (loaded, holstered) when I fly, especially when XC. For some reason, I haven't had a AD/ND while flying. My guns must be defective...

    Studentpilot.com message board hacked.. Now porn site?

    Noticed that too... Ahem. Anyway, it directs to the porn site through my iPad, but goes to the correct site through my desktop PC. Seems to be an issue specific to apple devices?

    Rental plane frustration is when...

    Where to start? Known deficiencies that go uncorrected and/or uncommunicated -- had a IFR flight I had to cancel the clearance and depart VFR since Nav 1 (GS/LOC) was inop. Someone turned off the nav radio so it was obvious there was a known issue. Missed some good actual time. Then there was...
