I guess I need to look deeper into the whole violating a zoning issue. Since the land is zoned agricultural, an airstrip is technically allowed. I don't even really need an "airstrip" on the books per se, there's enough land that can be turned into suitable take off and landing area. Guess...

Jefferson county NY. The zoning allows for the use, but I needed a variance for how close the airstrip was to the setbacks. Complaining neighbors got the variance denied. An appeal would have to go to the supreme court. So now I'm thinking the easiest way, and maybe the question I should...

I live on 100 acres and want a private airstrip. The neighbors threw a fit and the town board said no even though the FAA said they had no problem with it. My question is, is an actual private airstrip even required? I'm sure plenty of people just take off and land on their own property. It...

I've heard of pulling a prop through a few times before hand propping or if it's cold before starting. How is this operation done safely? I get with the magnetos switch off there should be no spark. However, a broken p-lead could mean instant death. Even if the prop is pulled slowly it would...

Seems like it should be but I can't find anything in the FARs.

From the perspective of a flight school, what is the most economical aircraft for this type of operation? Wants: Good flying qualities for commercial/CFI training Complex aircraft (requirement for commercial/CFI) Fuel efficient Cheap to maintain and insure Compromises: Initial purchase price...

On the long IFR XC with CFII can I log PIC XC time and have it count towards the instrument rating requirements since i'm sole manipulator of controls, or not because I'm not instrument rated and can only be PIC on an IFR flight plan if instrument rated?

Coming from the north and crossing the ART VOR IAF, how long do you fly the 223 radial until starting the procedure turn?

I'm not supposed to have the throttle below 1000 RPM because it could foul the spark plugs. However, 1000 RPM lets the Cessna 172N taxi MUCH faster than walking speed. I'm also not supposed to ride the brakes to keep us taxiing slowly. I think part of the problem may be due to the fact that...

I considered that too, but the long ifr xc is on an ifr flight plan. The commercial xc's are vfr day and night is my understanding.

Yeah, under the hood but the flight would still be VFR. At least, that's my interpretation. Just didn't want the examiner to disqualify the xc come checkride time.

If I'm training to get my instrument rating but also want to get commercial requirements done, can i fly part of the 100nm dual xc under the hood? If so, it would knock the comm xc and also build my xc pic time and also count as hood time. Or is this too much to ask from one flight?

From the last comment I'm going to deduce that the same antenna does vor/loc and GS. A new antenna would still need to be installed for the marker beacon. The only other things that need to be replaced are the radio and the CDI. The VAL INS 429 would have it all in one box being a CDI w/GS and...

Why is adding a WAAS GPS and GPS antenna a major alteration, but adding a glide slope antenna and compatible radio a minor alteration?

Installing this radio and GS antenna would probably fall under major alteration and require an IA. This is the first I've heard that "a radio installation other than an IFR GPS isn't going to require an STC or field approval." My understanding was that if the equipment wasn't original to the...

Narco NAV-122 looks good to me. Does anyone know where I can find the AML-STC to make sure a 150 is on it?

The examiner is going to want to see a precision approach. There's no GS currently in the plane.

Right now there's only 1 nav and 1 comm. We can do localizer and VOR approaches but no ILS which means I can't use it for the dual IFR trip or for the checkride. I would like to install this: http://www.valavionics.com/ins-429.html The manufacturer provides this nice FAQ...

KART VOR RWY 7 Question 1 Coming from the SYR VOR and turning at WUMSO intersection I would have a course of 053 on the 233 radial. Do I still have the final approach course of 043 tuned in the OBI the entire time and intercept it, or do I keep the R223 radial tuned in and retune to 043 after...

It's going to happen all the time. The same questions and answers coming up again and again. Just like flight training magazine and kitplanes magazine rehashing the same subjects over time. There are constantly new pilots and new CFIs who have the questions about the regs that old pilots are...
