I have an Angel Flight Mission mission tomorrow and with the assistance of a second leg pilot we hope to get a patient with brain cancer to the Mayo Clinic. He is scheduled for an operation early Dec 26. METAR, TAF & MOS has been hacked with “cute” messages about Santa, etc. where conditions...

I have been asked by a local church if I would fly relief supplies to PR and carry folks out. They are thinking small solar panels with batteries & ability to run a bulb all night. This is an issueI I would welcome any useful assistance with. I have read the other thread about routing. I...

Ours is not an LLC but a Sub S Corp on a cash basis accounting system established decades ago. Depreciation and capital infusions are products of accrual accounting basis; certainly not the goal. I'm thinking that I can just create the 501(c)7 "club" and sell the asset from the Corp to the...

Several of us own shares of a general business corporation whose sole asset is an airplane that we fly. We function exactly like a flying club but decades ago we were organized as a for-profit business.As engine reserves build, they become taxable income via K1's to each shareholder. Not...

Thanks for the information & tips. Since I asked the questions and they have been addressed; Foreflight uses Zero data from your cell phone/ ISP provider, except when on the ground and not connected to wifi. It is not streaming data while you fly. Position will display just like in the USA...

using Foreflight, I see the Low IFR charts but, as this is our first trip out of US with this program am not sure if we will be able to see accurate GPS position on IPad or how much data to expect the program to use per hour. Need to purchase a data plan. I am also studying how the Garmin...

I have a 77 Lance. The costs you have been given by the other PA32 owners is accurate. $160-$185 hr assuming about 100 hrs year.

would welcome thoughts on viability given the following conditions. The idea is to purchase and self-operate an aircraft in some capacity that yields at least a small gross profit. Not at all interested in part 121 ops, other options (potentially) open. 1.) Aircraft purchased outright - no...

I just took over the admin & accounting duties for one of the planes I am a partner in and would welcome some help on a structure and tax issue. The plane, a 1977 PA32 is held in an S corporation. The problem is, as I see it, we unfairly are paying income taxes on our own money when we...

I HOPE THE FOLLOWING IS HELPFUL AS A WAY TO CONSIDER ANOTHER OPTION. A person with the confidence, physical fitness, sense of responsibility and mental toughness required to be a 121 pilot is well suited to many other profitable opportunities. Related to options outside the cockpit - The...

Seriously thinking about buying a share of an RV-6A. Flew it yesterday and Was very impressed. Sports car responsive and great speed to fuel consumption numbers. It is the 160 HP Lycoming 320 engine. It is actually the first time, in 20+ years of flying that I have ever flown with a...

Ditto

Good on ya. It's not hard to compare contract law differences from state to state. The phrase "to the fullest extent allowed by law" addresses most of the issues. As a guy who has had numerous business partnerships, almost exclusively successful, I have learned the following; No...

Thank you for suggestions. Of that list I will check Angel Flight out. The others aren't my thing. Any other ideas are most welcome

I read world news about all the turmoil and wonder if there is something I could do. Have plane Will travel. Any of you good folks in touch with a legit group that needs gratis plane & Pilot assistance?

I was also thinking trim. Maybe it ran away on him?

Wow, thank you guys.

My wife and I are planning a trip to see and visit cool places west of St Louis and would welcome your thoughts and ideas; Aircraft is a 1977 Lance (non-turbo) with a healthy but high time engine. We have allocated 30 days for this trip and have identified the following place we want to...

Same model I fly. 2K hours in her. Fingers crossed and prayers said.

I have the iPhone 4S that is out of memory so FF doesn't update fully. I trimmed away photos but hate to dump all my music too. What are you guys using to avoid memory overload?
