Engine Temps is my concern.

Hello guys, I will be traveling to Vegas this weekend on an SR22T Cirrus and I am a little bit concern about the hight temperatures at which I may need to take off (maybe 110 F) and I'm just reaching out for any advice here. The POH considers even 50C takeoffs so it is within limits, but I...

LOL!!! I hate turbulence and my wife about the same! jajjaja (joking obviously) I love them both.

Hello guys, thank you very much for all your advice. The flight from San Diego to EGE back and forth was a success thanks in part to your advice. I did read the Mountain Flying Bible and listened to the mountain AWOS during my flight and followed all your advice on this post. It was a little...

Thanks! great tip!

Oh by the way, this airplane is FIKI, but I am a little concerned to hear that there is ALWAYS ice on the clouds over these mountains... what about a day like today, I see it is OVC110, does that mean that I would probably pick up ice descending through these clouds in plain summer?

Thank you SO MUCH for all the advice! I was already considering being on the ground by noon since I have been watching the winds at KEGE and they do start to pick up at that time, so I considered 9 AM since I am estimating 2.5 hour flight on the SR22T. But listening to your advice I WILL DEPART...

Hello guys, I am planning on flying from Las Vegas area into Vail, CO (KEGE - Eagle) on August 11th. Planning on departing at around 9 AM on a Cirrus SR22T and probably flying at 17,000 on an IFR flight plan. I am planing to meet with an experienced CFII here in San Diego to review my plans, but...

So sad and scary at the same time. I fly Cirrus regularly and my main concern on takeoff is to get to 400 AGL as soon as possible to be able to deploy CAPS in case of engine failure. I want to believe that the pilot was bellow that altitude and that is why he decided not to pull the chute. May...

Thank you ALL very very much for your comments and advice. Yes, it is weird I have only flown Cirrus, I think it was a mistake to learn to fly in such an expensive and fast airplane, but that is the route I took... and then it was inertia, I only knew how to fly that airplane so I never flew...

Hello guys, Yesterday I flew, for the first time ever, in a non-Cirrus aircraft. After logging a total of 260 hours in Cirrus, and getting my PPL and IR, I wanted to fly a different airplane and possibly get my Commercial Rating going. So I got IFR current flying a complex (Arrow) with a...

Didn't know that! no intro flights? well maybe Coast Flight Training could do an intro flight. Also, Shane is a commercial pilot who owns his own airplane, so I guess he could do it if he wanted to. BUT NOT SURE.

Contact Plus One Flyers Club and see if any of the instructors is available to take you around. Maybe try to talk to Shane Tepstra. Also you can contact Ronnie or Will at Coast Flight Training to help set you up. Definitely have them fly the Shoreline transition southbound at or bellow 500...

Thanks Dans! will probably just do that, overfly and enter left DW.

Hello gurus, I will be flying to KOLS from San Diego, my plan is to fly over TUS and then V395 to KOLS. My question is, how do I enter the pattern? it is left traffic to RW21 so should I overfly the center of the RW at 6000 ft (1000 above pattern) and then make a right 270 to enter 45 to...

Thanks guys! I guess I will fly a similar route again by myself. The perfect excuse for going to Vegas by myself :)

Hello Guys, I have a question regarding the 300 nm trip requirement. I have done such a trip when I flew from San Diego (MYF) to Las Vegas (HND) to Grand Canyon (GCN) to Van Nuys (VNY) and back to San Diego over a period of four days. Two questions: 1- I did this trip over four days and...

Thanks to all! Will be leaving tomorrow, couple of days in Vegas and Friday flying to GC. I am based at MYF (answer for Dallas). Will definitely be reporting my position...

Hello guys, I'm planning on flying to the Grand Canyon (KGCN) this Thursday and would like to have feedback from other pilots. First of all, I'm flying from San Diego and before landing I would like to fly the Dragon Corridor at 11,500 northbound and then the Zuni Point Corridor at 10,500...

Thanks Mike! Now let's say I go IFR using the SANN15 tec, would they vector me for a visual if it's clear? Or will they always want to use the full approach procedure? Other item, if vfr, after the SFRA at 4500, where would you start your descent? You have VNY to worry about too... And would...
