The whole point of this thread was to glean some understanding of HOW people "find a way" to get where they need to go. Please share any tips you have and also were you ever concerned about being stuck at the airport?

What? No. Why presume that? I am not a developer, but solve problems for a living, so am wanting to solve this for the betterment of GA in this country. I think there is a desperate need for a better system. I mean, wouldn't it be nice to know when you land at an airport that no matter when you...

Again, what is being confirmed by the replies in this thread is that flying to small GA airports not served by airlines will result in limited options for getting around the local area you fly to. It's really a shame, since so many public use GA airports out there just have a self-serve fuel...

This should be required knowledge for a Private Pilot. Seriously though, I had to learn the above all on my own (the hard way). We really need a post-PPL ambassador thing that trains new pilots on all this.

It sounds like if you are flying to a remote airport (with no FBO), then you are screwed and if you fly to a be city, then the costs are high, but you have options. Again, if this is the best there is, than so be it. I wish something like turo.com could be more aimed at GA pilots.

Maybe that's my problem? I sense that most of the pilots who have responded go to large metro areas with multiple rental car companies, etc, etc. For example, there is a destination that is an hour-long flight, but I tend to do Sunday-Monday trips and the ONE rental car agency in the town...

I added it to the survey!

OP here. I am neither a hoverboard manufacturer, nor an Uber driver. My frustration is with the availability and cost of rental cars. I guess I am not as wealthy as most pilots. I mean, I am already paying for expensive fuel, possible fees (landing/parking) and then I have to turn around and pay...

First, if this needs to be moved to another forum, let me know. Let's talk about the least fun part of flying for me - destination ground transportation. Until the flying car becomes a reality, we are going to be stuck with this problem once on the ground at our destination. I tried to google...

Hello, I am a PPL, ASEL. I have less than 150 hours, but am hoping to go for CFI-S when I have enough hours. Anyone care to chime in on how much time you think it would require in order for me to learn to fly/land right seat? I assume it would be prudent to do some flying in the right seat with...

I am using a SkyRadar (L model) for ADS-B and GPS. I was using the iPod Touch app from SkyRadar, which hides small airports unless you pay a subscription ($13 for six months). A recent bug prompted me to look around and find Avare. I managed to buy a cheap Android phone off ebay and got the...

EXACTLY! When it FINALLY went on, I was like, "it's not on" - haha.

I know, RIGHT!?!?! I think I was my own worst enemy. Not exactly sure what happened, but I ended up doing something similar to the following video: I think part of my problem was that I kept trying different methods. Also, I tried using a metal shoe horn, which was a complete waste of time.

Snarky much? Seriously though. The cups look IDENTICAL, so there should be no issue, right? Sorry to be asking a "dumb question", but I have been trying all night to get this ear seal on!

Sorry. It's an ear seal made for a David Clark and I am trying to put it on a Telex Echelon Headset. Also, yes I know YouTube Exists, but so far, I am not "getting it".

Hello everyone, As the title states, I am curious if anyone found a trick for easily replacing ear seals? I am able to get the old ones off with minimal fuss, but putting the new ones on seems almost impossible... What, if anything, am I doing wrong?

I often say that to myself as well - it's a good saying!

Jimmy, You couldn't be more wrong. By the way, these sort of responses make me not want to ask any question on this forum in the future...

OP here with a quick update for everyone. I have flown since I initially asked the question in the title of this post. I now feel like I do more of a "flow", if that makes sense. Also, I recently flew with another pilot and we did the preflight together and THAT was FAST! For solo flying, I now...

GREAT TIP! I wonder if that method works when the aircraft is on grass as well as pavement?
