    Panel upgrading - Really, how bad?

    I think you would be looking at 10g by the time you were done and 14g probably with adsb upgrade.

    CFIs, have you ever had to tell a student to quit flight training?

    I wasn't a fast learner. Think I had 60 hrs before solo. Had my own 172 and enjoyed flying with my instructor. Finally one day I was tired of all the t&gs and said this is enough of this. Let's move on. Landings just wouldn't click. All of the sudden it just all fell in place. After that only...

    [NA] Do you use a home warranty?

    I've never had one but was offered one yesterday on a house I made offer on. Told them nothing probably works anyway and didn't care. Might have the fire department burn down for practice anyway. Built in 1965 but has been empty about 5 years. On the two houses I live in I've never had enough...

    As said, good airplanes but slow.

    Do most/all piston pressurized aircraft require power on descent to maintain pressurization?

    That's when you make up for the gas used to get to the flight levels.

    Is a 172 D model and newer a capable X-country plane?

    I've flown 172s all over the country. Lots of 1000 mile plus trips. They are fine flying on trips. Easy to sell and get all or most of your money back out. Good plane to fly without a big expenditure of money. Cheaper insurance and maintenance. You can fly for few years and decide if and what...

    Plane collides with skydiver

    Far as I know, the parachutist is all healed up from his little shake up and the plane is setting in parts. Probably won't ever fly again and it was a very nice plane. I never heard of any lawsuits myself and the chuutist was more in the wrong than the pilot, but don't think his medical was...

    Just being curious, who types of costs are associated with doing the 24 month IFR cert?

    Usually 350$ will cover it and a couple hours or 3

    What plane to buy for 300m twice weekly commute?

    I had a commanche and while they are great planes I think a plane with big door in back would be better for loading kids, dog and baggage. Plus a six seat plane has more storage space. Plus if he gets stuck they make a cot type thing that lays on seats to lay down. Lol.

    What plane to buy for 300m twice weekly commute?

    Never had a cirrus but did have a Columbia, which is Simular. Was the most expensive airplane to own I have owned so far. I fly a Malibu now which has cost me half what the Columbia cost even including recurrent training. A 210 or a36 or maybe retract Saratoga would be my choices for your use...

    Interested in your own headset company ?

    I've got couple sets. When I got them they were 1000% better than the non anr junky sets I replaced. (Wore the old ones since once and they were so loud thought something was wrong with plane!) I have several lightspeed sets and was trying a senheiser the other day I hadn't really figured out...

    can I fly a bottle of wine home?

    Was thinking it matters where you carry it. If it's inside you no problem. If it's in a bag no problem. Hmm.. Guess it won't be a problem.

    Help with 206 purchase

    I have bought several planes in Florida. That's a pretty common entry in Florida. Have seen lots of planes with no corrosion. Wouldn't worry about it. Prebuy will tell you everything needed to know.

    Accelerated Instrument Rating Programs

    Obxflight. In eastern North Carolina. Around 4000 using his plane and think they might be housing you again. They weren't able to for awhile. Little cheaper to use your plane but not enough to hardly pay gas. Price Includes everything except examiners fee.

    Taxi at 7 knots ground speed? We are all going to die...!!!!!

    I taxi pretty fast as a rule. Guess I won't admit how fast if 7 kts is fast. Pretty sure you couldn't keep up running as hard as you can though. Does depend on lots of conditions though. If the runway is 13000 ft like home airport. If it's hot I don't want to dally. If it's cold I want to give...

    Insuring a plane for instruction of others?

    Don't know what your plane is worth but commercial runs us around 3 times non commercial which I don't think is terrible. They will want to fly it solo and it's really the only option. As named I'm pretty sure they already have to be a pilot or part owner at least.

    [NA] Broken AC Question

    In my Florida house I have two systems. One for the bedroom wing that is 4tons and one for the living entertainment wing that is 5 tons. I love it and keep them at separate temps, as I like to sleep cooler. When I was looking to replace mine I had bids as high as 22000 and several in between the...
