    Just wow! This guy just can't get his clearance right

    Hahaha. Wow. My first IFR flight without an instructor was with my family, and I had to get a super long clearance since I was going from T67 (fort worth, hicks) to some airport in Denver. I had a little bit of trouble with the clearance, but it was because the controller forgot I was /A not /G...

    Thanksgiving Trip

    Nice. Long distance trips are a lot of fun. Longest I've done was a 950nm flight to Florida in a 150 going 85 GS (no winds)

    Most Common Runway Direction

    It seems to be 18 or 17 in the DFW area, but my airport is built along a train track and people most commonly use 14, but it ALWAYS has a cross wind.

    Tower: "Take down this number"

    About two weeks ago I was flying IFR. I just got cleared onto the approach and was all set. Then ATC calls me up and says: "Cessna N##### I have a number for you to copy...." (Pauses a moment) "...if you would like to cancel IFR on the ground, or you cancel with me now." Definitely made my...

    Outlooook Weather

    Hello POA. When I fly, I usually use weather found from WingX-pro or Foreflight, and I get a DUATs weather report. I want to plan a flight to Denver from Dallas during Thanks Giving break, but the weather sources I use only show forecast weather up to 48 hours ahead. Where can I get somewhat...

    Pilot Poll!

    Because you can have ATP but not be a CFI or you can be ATP with CFI or CFII or MEI. Someone here had ATP and CFII and wanted to choose both since they are different.

    Pilot Poll!

    Hello everyone. This is just a quick poll since I am curious as to the percent of pilots who have which general licenses and ratings. I assume others out there wonder the percentage of each on this website. I am currently a private pilot, and I have my instrument check ride in 8 days. EDIT...

    How fuel efficient is your airplane - REMADE

    Owned a mooney with my dad for 2 months now. I'm not sure about the maintenance costs, but the other guy seemed to cover that. Mine is a mooney M20E. I get 8.5 gph for fuel burn. Some days I can lean it at low as 7 gph and still get full cruise power. I also get 140 tas, but I don't run full...

    How cheap is your airplane

    I changed some stuff when factoring in this post. I hope to turn it into a table afterwards. The price will also be shown, but will not be in the equation. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/how-fuel-efficient-is-your-airplane-remade.99200/

    How fuel efficient is your airplane - REMADE

    Yesterday I made the following thread: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/how-cheap-is-your-airplane.99171/#post-2168543 It used three factors, speed, fuel burn, and seats, but this one has an equation which will help compare more accurately how cheap your aircraft is. Also as...
