As a first time plane buyer, I am pretty sure this is a non-starter for me, but I thought I would ask anyway for the benefit of others: What are the risks/considerations buying a plane that needs engine work? Let's assume it's in a state that may or may not be okay for a flight above the...

Can you elaborate? I suspect the GPS 175 would have the same limitations?

For all of those suggesting a Bo, has anyone here gotten a recent insurance quote for a $100k+ hull retract for a low/no time pilot? As a point of reference, 3 years ago I got a quote for a $60k Tiger that was $800/yr. I have not flown since and the quotes I just got from the same broker were...

Please stop reminding me I couldn't get buying your Tiger past my wife. I of course keep point out the current prices. :D

Is profile view one of those things that require the $200/yr plan in FF?

OP, we are in a very similar situation in initial PPL, hours, time off, and age. I got checked out again 3 summers ago with plans to get my instrument rating but ran into a instructor shortage at the flight school I had chosen and then work got busy. I've chosen another flight school, done the...

They may still do so even if they don't need to if the rate is low enough. Keep cash in the bank or invest elsewhere. Not me, but its an approach.

One of the reasons we decided to move here was to give my son a chance at TJ admission. Looking kinda iffy he will make it but the rest of the district is good too :D

Me neither, but there was the time a cop was following me down a back road in early spring and I dodged a few pot holes. He proceeded to pull me over. Based on his questions, he clearly thought I was drunk. I was not, it was just a really crappy road after a rough winter. I was not about to...

Costco makes the majority of their money off of the membership fees, not sales.

EAA's interpretation is that this does not apply to recreational flying except in a few very specific cases: https://eaa.org/eaa/news-and-publications/eaa-news-and-aviation-news/news/04-30-2020-FAA-SFAR-Covers-Commercial-and-Public-Interest-Needs-but-Misses-Recreational-Flying

Can anything on this list be purchased turnkey for $50k-$60k? I assume turnkey since you say you need to drop the budget if a WAAS GPS needs to be added, so I also assume a runout engine is out. This has been my wish list for the past few years with the addition of the FG or RG 177 Cardinal...

Looks great! Would you mind sharing by about how much you had to stretch your budget? I assume by more than 2x

Sushi is on the list. We have been allowing ourselves takeout 1-2 times a week to help our favorite places out and break the monotony Of home. But don’t trust the supply chain for raw fish.

Looks like we are the only ones who are still having our cleaners come. We clear off into the covered porch while they are here.

I assume those of us who bought tickets and can't attend in May won't be getting refunds. Their Facebook page says to send an email to inquire about a refund. Sent.

I use fastmail, per a suggestion from PoA if I recall. I have my own domain, which can be registered with any of the domain registrars , of which godaddy is one. Fastmail has tutorials on how to set this up. Another advantage to Fastmail is that it is a paid service, so its not the...

Out of curiosity, which school are you getting your IR with?
