    First long X-C in a while - pointers sought / anything I am missing?

    Sounds very thorough to me! Have fun, trim for cruise and enjoy!

    Newbie Advise

    I started studying on my own before I began flight lessons. I took the test after I had been flying a month or two, and got a high score, I'm happy to say. I will assert that some of the principles were easier to understand once I'd been in the cockpit... but I certainly didn't regret the time...

    Buzz kill for Airplane Repo

    But... but...I saw a guy with night vision goggles crawling on his belly under the airport fence last night.... you mean, that wasn't the Repo Guy?

    LED Landing Lights

    We put in a LED landing light on our Grumman Tiger, and it's great... we were hitting our limit on our amps before, and now, it's perfect. Bright and cool both. One very good investment.

    How long for tailwheel endorsement?

    Yes, I agree. I have already looked into visiting the factory, they have a pretty good "try-it-out" program with some ground instruction and dual. I want to do it right, if I do it. Right now, there's a question of cart and horse. Either I get some tailwheel training first, and then have a...

    How long for tailwheel endorsement?

    Nope, going off the farm and looking at a Sonex or Waiex.

    How long for tailwheel endorsement?

    I'm a 200-hour, tri-gear PPL... Now considering buying a tailwheel a/c, but still unsure about the amount of time a tailwheel endorsement REALLY takes. I see a flat rate course,(one for $675 in my home state) and others that get $189/hr for Champ and instruction. They say 8 hours minimum. I...

    SR22 overflies SFRA, pilot incapacitated

    Do we know the actual outcome of this flight? Has a crash site been found? Flight Aware doesn't always indicate exactly what's happening with any flight, as I've learned. I'm hoping it's not what you all are assuming...

    First Aircraft purchase... Mooney?

    Well, I'm slightly partial, but the Grumman Tiger has been great for this 2-pilots and a small dog family... We burn about 8 gallons/hr in typical x-c operations, and the Grummans are very responsive in the controls and fun to fly. I initially thought about a Mooney as a 1st plane, but decided...

    New FBO at KILM (Wilmington, NC)

    Brunswick is a good school! My hubby and I both take some lessons with Ken Norris there every once in while, just to keep honing the skills. I flew with him today, in fact. How many hours do you have?

    New FBO at KILM (Wilmington, NC)

    Hi, Kenny- You're a neighbor! What do you fly?

    New FBO at KILM (Wilmington, NC)

    Yes, do! Just be sure to tell ATC/Ground you want AviatMall. If you just say "the FBO" by habit they will likely turn you to the wrong side of the field (toward the older, other FBO.) Think you'll like Aviat's style!

    New FBO at KILM (Wilmington, NC)

    AviatMall (the online aviation supply site) has just opened a new FBO at KILM for those flying into Wilmington, NC... JetA, 100LL at good prices, hangar space, maintenance, pilot lounge and a flight school to come. I just attended an Open House there on Saturday, and they're a friendly bunch...

    WHY AIRPLANES ARE BETTER THAN WOMEN

    Eh-- it's adolescent, let him have his fun.

    Longest XC to date scheduled

    Wow, nice job! I fly a Tiger from Fl-NC a lot, and NC-NY, so I can relate to the fun and the planning involved. Cool!!
