Will check it out; thanks for the tip!

Agreed. Personally, flying almost 80 nm at low altitude below Class B near IAH, and HOU (and Ellington) would not be my first choice. :no: I would try to either enter Bravo (best) or skirt around it at a more comfortable altitude if needed. As indicated by others, the folks at Houston...

Wise move to buy the plane BEFORE getting married! :rofl: Welcome to POA!

I use Foreflight in the exact same way as Ron, with an iPad 2 and Stratus, with my iPhone as a backup. One thing to note is that iPhones do not have the full functionality that iPads do for things such as Synthetic Vision, Documents, etc.

Thanks! I have been looking for the past month and have not been able to find this site? I think my Google search engine needs an overhaul. :rolleyes2:

Welcome, Green. I know the feeling, sometimes life just happens and stuff gets in the way of flying. If you are determined enough--and it sounds like you are--you will continue to fly and before you know it, you will be the pilot you envision. You will find this to be one of the friendliest...

Definitely will. I tried going through his website, but it errored out. I will have to give him a call. I had actually pondered doing just that but didn't know if it would work. Apparently it does! I will put up an ad on CL, thanks.

Chris, I am renting from United Flight Systems at Hooks.

Yes, I've seen SWFC's site. They have one 172 and two 182's. The thing stopping me was that their bylaws say that they require a checkride every year. I know they do it for insurance reasons, but holy cow. Oh, plus the fact there is a waiting list to get in the club. I might still have to...

It sure would be great if there were a forum, site, etc. regarding aircraft co-ownership. Maybe there is, but I'm too dumb to find it. I'm talking about a place, sort of like a dating site, where people can express their interest in co-ownership and where they are located, and that way be able...

I think my first solo was likely more stressful for my CFI than for me. :lol: I remember my first solo takeoff, looking to my right and seeing nobody sitting there...surreal! Congrats, and welcome to the addiction.

Way to go, and welcome!

That's okay, my wife usually has the other half covered. :mad2: I have now put myself on the map. I wish more of us would do so!

I can't find the PoA map. Where do I find it, or are you just messing around with newbies? :confused:

I was going to guess a nature preserve for beakless, eyeless penguins. That's what I'm telling my little boy.

My wife reminds me on occasion that if she dies that I am to marry a woman who is a good mother for our children. As always, I ask in a puzzled tone "Get married again?" then retort with the pseudo-Einsteinian quote: "The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and...

Hope you have a great check ride, whenever it happens. You'll probably have a good story to remember!

My PPL training was spread out a bit during my college days...at Easterwood, then Hooks, then Easterwood again, then Mueller in Austin (anyone remember that airfield?), then at Addison where I finally got my PPL. Then, after going through all that I got busy with a job, a family, etc. and...

All great advice! I have started perusing for both 172's with the 180 conversion and also for 182's. I have noticed that several 182's on the market report past prop strikes. Is this because of the heavier feeling nose and pilots not rounding out soon enough?

That's fine, I am in no rush. Getting there is the fun!
