Quick question for anyone that has purchased the ASA 2016 FAR/AIM. I have a few options. Of course you can't beat the paper version to rummage through but I am looking to pick up a digital version for reference. I see that I can either go with Kindle version, iBook version or the App...

This will likely open a can of worms - but what should I be looking for when looking for a handheld transceiver? It seems the only way I have to gauge is cost relative to positive reviews. Is that all I need to know? I plan on using this handheld radio on the ground and possibly listen to...

I am glad to see there are some folks in the neighborhood getting their act together for their PPL. Send me a PM with your email address so we can connect. It would be good to get more traffic at 3DW. It's a great airport and pretty quiet. When I have another plane in the circuit it's...

Found one! Thanks.

Odd request but Google sleuthing isn't doing me much good (one broken link and a bunch of for sale units). Does anyone have a .pdf of for a Collins AMR-350 audio panel manual? Let me know if you do - it would be very much appreciated. Benjamin

Just a few weeks ago! 06.04.2015 [url=http://postimage.org/]

Pretty sure Jack Reynolds is still around. I live in Springfield and had a heck of a time tracking down a CFI to work on my PPL. Benjamin

I hear it will go faster from here but really just taking my time. I have 1.75 years to complete training before my written expires. My colleagues tell me if I don't wrap up by the end of summer then I have done it wrong. Ha. I guess a fall checkride is my real goal. My first step is to...

Excellent - I went for a flight this morning with the CFI to run through the gamut of procedures. I am now free to go.. and well, honestly, want to go right now! I better wait a few days.

So now that the solo + another dual instruction flight in the book, I am endorsed and ready to go! Mow the yard, no... go fly. Work... nah, go fly. I can't think of any excuse outside of weather or illness to keep me from flying solo at this point. With that being said, how long did you new...

I had 45 landings / touch n go's / engine out procedures prior to solo. There has been a lot of pattern work on each return from the practice area and the last couple flights have been nearly exclusively pattern work. My airport is not busy so we get a lot of pattern work in a relatively...

Thanks all. It's been a lot of fun talking about the flight yesterday. A lot of friends and colleagues are asking if we can go fly now... So I give them the break down of the PPL training. I have a long way to go folks, hang tight. Written is done, solo is kicked out - now to get serious. I...

Well, my wife and non-aviation friends are tired of hearing the story already and I am still giving myself high fives. 5 laps around the pattern today and my CFI jumps out on the ramp and says "Do 3 more just like that. See you at the gas pumps". No nerves but heightened awareness of every...

Anyone purchased this series? http://www.pilotworkshop.com/concrete5/airmanship-special/ I have right at 10 hours into my training so far and this seems like a worth while to soak up more information. For about the cost of 1/2 a lesson, this information doesn't seem like a bad deal. Is it...

So what you guys are saying is, I should go take my test. I have taken probably taken 20 of the practice exams on the King Schools page and haven't dropped below 85%. Hmm. I am paranoid that I am going to get the one test created that takes all of questions that I pause on and puts these...

Hey all, I started my training about 2 months ago and I am up to about 9 hours. The training has been a lot of fun and I have had a good mix of weather conditions. The airfield I am doing my training is just outside of Class C airspace and I knew that we would be heading over there soon to get...

+1 for the PFC gear. I went through many CH and Saitek yokes over the years. I am now practicing with a full set up of PFC gear (Cirrus Yoke, throttle quad and rudder pedals). Since my PPL training is in an Archer II, A2A's Cherokee is a great addon and ties the hardware and software...

Funny you say that - I was listening yesterday and heard one of the controllers being pretty condescending to a fella that had intermittent mic / receiver issues so he wasn't hearing the calls. It was that big of a deal but I noticed. Benjamin

I am sitting here listening to the PE receiver. I will have to give the trial a go for sure. Benjamin

I finally broke the ice last night and finally logged 1.5 hours. I've gotta say that my years and years past simming experience helped. Procedurally, things went right in order and I felt like I knew where I was going. My PFC flight controls are surprisingly similar to the feel of the...
