Looks like she could have a little bit of red heeler based on the size/build and coloring and your description of best dog ever (I wouldn't think she could get that name with Jack Russell mixed in)! Can't wait to take mine up for the first time!

I flew to a field about 12nm away. It actually helped calm the nerves a bit (oh yeah, I DO know how to fly this plane). My logbook was endorsed by my instructor to takeoff and land solo at any airports within 25nm from my home airport, so even if I had failed I would still be legal to fly...

Keep it all logged. Though only CC PIC time counts toward your instrument requirements, I would recommend tabbing your logbook (if using paper) to show all the PIC CC time you have for your DPE. I'm currently in that zone of building up CC PIC time as well and I believe I'll just tab my paper...

I'm glad I'm not alone with the gusty landing issue. Sunday I was considering not flying due to the forecast winds but as the day came the winds were less than forecast and from a direction more in line with the runway. I took off from rwy 25 with winds 220@11- no problem. I landed at KPCW on...

Actually, yes, I have started. I'm thinking of sticking with something reliable, "slow," and affordable to start out with while it's just me and my wife. A piper Cherokee/archer 180 or the likes. I don't mind if I have to stop for gas to go see my parents or something- it'll still shave 5...

Hard to remember back to 2 months ago.... lol. But my then fiancé and now wife was my first passenger and somehow the weather became perfect and I remembered how to land smoothly and she was hooked. Took her for an actual cross country to a lake she grew up visiting a couple weeks later and...

For first-timers, I always go through SAFETY (at least an abbreviated version not to overwhelm them). I'll adjust as needed for other or recurring pax. I've discovered that this briefing covers the important issues, isn't overwhelming, doesn't scare them, and make them feel comfortable enough...

DAYUM. Very nice- congrats!! Maybe I'll get there one day......

Was literally just thinking of this same question today. I'm looking at used planes to buy and want to know if I find a great plane but without 4 place intercom how much I'm looking at spending to upgrade it from 2 to 4 places. Thanks for asking- I'll be following!

Ah, these are the insights I was looking for! My only reason to stay there longer was that it was at night and I didn't want to descend before *I* needed to. With that being said, I would have been perfectly willing and comfortable going a bit lower for a few miles since I was near my home...

So I'm a low time pilot and went on my first real cross country trip a couple weeks after getting my ticket with my fiancé. We're heading back home, I picked up flight following for the ~2 hr flight heading west at 6,500 in a club Cherokee 160. I get my last handoff and it's at night so I...
