Looks like plane impacted that semi trailer in one of the other pictures at a fairly level attitude with the right wing/engine which would have made the plane spin to the right and possibly cause the damage to the right side of the nose and continue skidding on ground to stop. Possibly...

Get the cover for sure. I had a full set of (3 on each side plus 2 for windshield) window inserts and although they work nice they are bulky to carry in the plane and take as long to put on vs. the cover so I recently got Bruce's Travel cover (lighter material) and really like that setup. I have...

I had this issue recently. Went to Apple Store and they basically cleaned out some dirt from the socket and problem fixed. They used a small paper clip

Yeah now that it's done I'm glad it wasn't a CAVU day!

Thanks. Thought of filing for flight back but after all the ground/paperwork I really wanted to rush back before WX so did not file.

Thought about it but after waiting for all paperwork and what not after checkride I wanted to leave ASAP so did not and WX was good enough at that point but had that in the back of my mind as an option.

Piper Dakota so constant speed prop. Sorry

So my IFR checkride re-test was scheduled for tomorrow but WX forecast was looking really bad. Called DPE (who's been traveling out of town lots) and he tells me Thursday is no good and Friday his wife goes in for surgery so he's going to be taking care of her afterwards and considering my plane...

Here's the link to the Hartzell application guide showing what airplanes are compatible. Looks like a lot of Cessna 172 are compatible. http://hartzellprop.com//services/product-support-library/manuals/application-guide/

Busted altitude during a VOR approach while partial panel (failed Aspen PFD) so failed checkride and have to redo a VOR approach. It was a very bumpy day (should not have scheduled checkride for 1PM on a hot/sunny day) so had a hard time keeping plane trimed so between that and partial panel I...

Selling a like new set of Sunfoil sun shades that I bought last year but haven't really needed/used since I keep my plane in a hangar now. They are for a PA28-236 but I believe it fits PA28 as my understanding is all PA28 after 1975 use the same body. Set includes 8 pieces and the pilot side has...

Upgraded to a 3 bladed prop so selling this polished spinner & backplate. Came from a 79 Dakota so I know it fits them as well as other models but check Hartzell for compatibility. $500 obo plus shipping. More pictures on eBay at...

Couple of ways (if not being vectored) ... Single VOR/DME intercept MSN R-130 (R-310 inbound) outside of MSN 16 DME or you can even 16 DME ARC it from the north or south to the inbound course or you can use the JVL R-360 to guide you towards MSN R-130/16 DME MSN.

Checkride is this Thursday! And sure will be looking for safety pilots in the area.

Good tips especially the Ident part as I always intend on checking wether or not I NEED to repeat the ident request but always forget to afterwards and I see that I really don't need to. I do typically have gns2 on the flight plan page but I also switch from that page for various reasons but...

Guys/gals In the grand scheme of things I really don't mind nor care about the cfis preference with this phrase. Adding the words position checks doesn't annoy me, slow me down, or affect anything about the flight or my training. If he feels like this enhances safety and therefore useful so be...

Thanks.

Never heard it before working w/ current CFI. When you establish contact w/ radar facility (ATC/Center) and they call out your position then some pilots confirm that position by saying Position Checks as a measure to confirm that you are where they say they see you at. Not a FAR nor an AIM as...

Because I don't need to refer/use the IFR chart during takeoff or enroute and the VFR chart has information that is more valuable (urban areas, lakes, roads, etc...) for situational awareness in event of emergencies. I switch over to approach plates for that phase of flight or IFR charts if I...

Thanks. Start the IFR rating. Challenging but very rewarding and makes you a better pilot all around.
