If you’re flying a relatively new plane, you could easily spend $10k-$14k by the time you’re done with everything. I would recommend making sure you can afford it and then don’t look back...just fly and study consistently. Oh, and mount a GoPro with audio in the plane so you can debrief your...

The new Apple TV’s have a Siri feature that lets you talk to the remote. Works well for all of the apps we use (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO, etc.). If you have an iPhone, you can use it as the remote too.

Actually, I was questioning whether the airlines require airports to have de-ice fluid on hand. It’s not unheard of to have frost in FL, and if an aircraft was contaminated the only option would be to wait for the sun to come out if there wasn’t fluid available (this would probably be most...

With cold air over so much of the country right now, are there any requirements that airports have de-ice capabilities for the airlines?

Anything less than about -10F with wind gets a little unpleasant. If it’s -5F, sunny and no wind - that’s not a bad winter day around here though! Cold winter days mean great performance and fairly thin layers that can easily be flown through without icing concerns. As long as you dresss...

Yeah, that was a pain to find out. I usually turn off push notifications, so not sure if they tried, but it sure would have been nice to know before it just disappeared. On the bright side, I tried using Foreflight’s W&B and it’s ridiculously easy to set up and use. Since I’m already in...

Nice work. The instrument rating is no small task...hope you get to put it to good use!

So, if weather cooperates and I can go south to Pueblo and then northwest to Salida and possibly beyond, is flight following even an option? If not all the way out there, are they happy to provide FF near the restricted airspace and MOA’s?

Wow, views like that are exactly what I’m looking forward to in a few weeks. Fingers crossed that Mother Nature cooperates!

Not quite sure I want to venture as far north as Leadville in my underpowered Warrior, but that looks like it would be a sweet place to go! What’s the “certificate” you mentioned?

Wow, I left for a couple days and this thread really evolved (or should I say deteriorated)! So, back to my original question...I think it’s pretty clear that I won’t be exploring any of the passes or trying to overfly a ski resort on this trip. I have absolutely no desire to put myself in a...

Thanks for the input everyone. I think we’ll stick to a rental car unless I find a local CFI to come along for some mountain flying training. If not, the views should still be spectacular for this flat lander...even on the east side!

I’ll be making a weekend trip to Colorado Springs in my Warrior this January. I’ll be coming from the Dakotas and don’t have any mountain flying experience, so the plan was to grab a car and drive into the mountains for a little sight seeing on Saturday. However, after thinking about it more I...

Listen to liveatc.net - pick somewhere busy and with bad weather for the most action.

I took (and passed) the instrument written this week after doing the King Schools program. For what it's worth, even though their material and practice tests are not updated to match the latest changes mentioned above (or updated much at all, for that matter), I still passed with flying colors...

I have never wished for clouds so much in my life! Unfortunately, what is supposed to be the cloudiest time of the year has been CAVU for all but .2 of my time. Fingers crossed that we get some good IMC in the next month as I finish up...and before icing becomes a factor.

I have the 8000BT and it works great for standard use and for streaming ForeFlight advisories and music via Bluetooth.

I talked to our attorney today and he agreed that a company auto policy is unnecessary since the company doesn't own vehicles. He recommended the hired/non-owned endorsement and making sure our umbrella was big enough to supplement the general liability policy adequately. Thanks for all of the...

Great point, Shawn. Yes, we have an awesome attorney who is well worth his hourly rate and then some (just don't tell him I said that). I never even thought to give him a shout about insurance. Thanks for the input!
