The composite aircraft that I work on fly to -50c.... there is more of a problem with Hot / Wet conditions, however, that cold lots of systems start to shut down...

I would think that he was not current at night... was low because it is easy to be low at night, and hit the trees.... I do not fly at night, but want to get up and start, with a CFI,... My Dad said to be careful as he knows all to well about being low at night... every time we landed at...

I flu past Cable this morning and though about stopping in... nice day to get out and up.... that is a good price on gas... is the pump on the north west side?.... have not gotten fuel there in the last 25 years.... Finished up my PPL there. Landed a Cessna 150 using only the doors... 3k...

I just push the right seat back forward and slide the seat until the back is pushing on the yoke.... Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Will PM some questions.... and yes,,,, getting my PPL about 40 years ago, and then being out of flying for about 30, I am the forever student.... The CFI that I use is to help me expand flying around the LA area, and to answer questions when I need some help.. He also goes along to help me...

Well, I am a 200 hour student!... will be flying in with my family on board, and just want to do it right.... I do still fly with a CFI just to check up on myself, and improve skills.... may ask more about Tucson in another thread.... and I agree that all the controllers i have talked...

Well,,, it is all about perspective.... I learned to fly at uncontrolled airports, my dad did not like talking on the radio, so that kind of stuck with me, and when I got back into flying a few years ago was the first time that I have been around controled fields and airspace.. So yes, Class C...

CC268.... it is always good to ask about things that are not known.... I will be flying into Tucson next month... for the first time.. have flown into Ryan a lot and that is a no brainer, but no rental car and my Inlaws no longer drive so I need a place to get a car.. When we were going to...

I don't.... I fly to the north east, and east from El Monte... so I stay north of the 210 fwy, along the hills, until high enough to cross the Cajon pass when going to the north east.... or when going east to AZ, I fly to Paradise VOR, then Banning airport, all on Flight Following so getting...

The Santa ana winds picked up earlier this week, but now the high pressure in the high desert has already blown "down the hill" and it is not a problem... I would recommend flying the pass, especially in the morning... I'm hoping to get out tomorrow and fly somewhere.... not sure where but it...

I fly out to Tuscon from KEMT once in awhile, and through the pass can be a fun ride... always with Flight Following.. and going out at 9500, back at 10,500... cuz it is a little smoother. The Palm Springs TRSA is nothing really,, FF is always the way to go and no additional clearance...

Get a mag mount 2 meter HAM radio antenna, put it on a bread pan, on top of the roof... will work great and not much $$... Or a scanner discone antenna, (MFJ-1866) in the attic as mentioned earlier... or just an MFJ-1717 High Gain Handie-talkie antenna, that is what I use on my Yeasu radio..

Welcome to aircraft ownership... I have just completed my 2nd annual, and did replace some electrical parts, and a SCEET hose.. Installed a new electric clock with volt meter, and it cost me $450 total.... parts and IA work.. of course I did all the grunt work of opening up the plane and...

My Mistress... Juliet... she is 4364J so it is fitting.... when people ask to see a photo of the plane, I show them one with my wife standing next to her... and say " here is my wife and my Mistress"..

Want to "watch" this thread to "See" where it goes.....

It was 20 minutes for me... after 20 years away... every move felt wrong, it was a bumpy day, so that did not help but was almost ready to call it off, then it all just clicked and was back into the swing... spent a few more hours with an instructor and was doing great. Now, learning all the...

It was fun!,, I did try it a few times and mostly did great... once had more headwind than I planned for and was short, needed power to make the field., just trim it up for best glide speed, idle power, and no flaps... stable descending, then use the doors to turn, and yes, both to increase...

I sent in my change of ownership paperwork several months ago, transfering the plane from my dad to me, the check was processed a month ago, and still nothing on the FAA site. A friend said it was 4 months for his transfer of ownership to finally show up.

In my flight training, in a 152, the instructor had me fly a complete landing pattern at Cable airport, starting out trimed up, and only using the doors, no other control surfaces... so used them to fly the pattern!.... open a door to turn, and both to descend... about 30 ft above the runway...
