    My club normally operates Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Also Wednesdays for about half the year. But, members can fly any day if they can get a tow pilot (plus any needed ground crew) to show up.

    I know a few people from my club who did add-on ratings at AZ Soaring and they were pleased. I can think of two who did their initial CFIG ratings there too.

    I went the club route for a commercial add-on. About 7.5 months from first flight to checkride flying on weekends. I wasn't in a hurry. I had to do 20 solo flights and I took my time on each one. Some pilots at my club started with the club, completed their solo requirements at the club, and...

    Finally made a Pilots and paws flight

    My first one was a husky who really enjoyed staring outside or napping. No crate needed. Just kept him in the back with a handler. My second was with another pilot. Twelve cats in crates. They were loud (until we were high enough when they presumably napped) and the smell was awful.

    What resources do you use to find other pilots to fly with?

    If there's a college aviation program or flying club in the area then you see if any poor students could use some free flight time acting as safety pilots.

    Get your NOTAMS!

    I was flying a C172 or C182 into KPHX one late evening arriving after 11pm. There were NOTAMS stating the middle and south runways would close at 11pm for construction so I expected the north runway and a long taxi to the FBO. ATC had to constantly remind airline pilots about the NOTAMS since...

    VH (Aussie) registered single pistons in North America?

    You could try https://www.casa.gov.au/aircraft-register with United States as your seach keywords although it seems that most of the results will be registration holders based in the US coupled with registered operators based in Australia. There are make and model filters to help you narrow...

    Home and Auto Insurance

    Btw, if you want driving privileges in an aircraft operations area then you might be required to carry more than the minimum insurance.

    Utility Category - Cessna 172

    I did spin training in a C172SP. Two adult males up front and just about everything else cleared out of the plane. Only 18 gallons of fuel when we started the manuevers. Our CG was 39 point something.

    Info on Hangars in San Diego

    Someone posted in a FB group a few months ago that hangar rental prices at MYF were 500-1000 per month. Buying a hangar would be 40-60K plus monthly ground rental to the city of about 150.

    Can a Private pilot fly a company plane with passengers?

    It's fine with the FAA if you're alone. Based on the Mangiamele letter you cannot accept company reimbursement if you take a co-worker though. You would be able to accept a share of the expenses (so long as you're paying at least your pro-rata share) from the co-worker who could then seek...
