Success! Thanks for all of the advice. Easy trip up there but it took me all day to get back. I had to stop twice because of storms. It ended up being a terrific adventure and a very expensive bowl of chili.

Skyline and White Castle. That might make for an uncomfortable return trip.

MGY it is. Thnks guys.

runway closed at HAO tomorrow.

Thanks tmyers!

KILN look promising but they only have Jet A. I guess that's one way to keep the riff-raff out.

I'd like to fly from Nashville to Cincy tomorrow for some Skyline Chili. Does anyone know of an airport with a Skyline nearby, cheap fuel and low or zero FBO fees? Oh and sharks with laser beams on their foreheads.

This is my favorite POA thread ever. It's depressing but educational. Keep posting guys.

I passed my instrument checkride on 6/25, I got my new cert in the mail on 7/30.

If guess that’s how you found this. :-).

I politely request that the people who run POA consider making a forum dedicated to accidents. It would be nice to separate the fun and interesting stuff from the sobering. I am interested in both topics, just not intermingled. Thanks for considering. Andrew

I took my daughter flying today. A good time was had by all.

I thought you might be joking, but that is a really good question.

A new, $150k, Cessna 172 would sell like hotcakes and bring many more people into flying. Have it burn MOGAS and go 120kts and then we'll change the paradigm.

I recently completed my IR after a long gap of not flying. For me, it's wasn't just about punching through clouds. It's about having confidence in the system. Confidence to go on real trips. Confidence that I can handle the aircraft if I hit IMC. Confidence to hold the needle and the...

I did a practice surveillance approach (ASR) today at HSV. It was a lot of fun. When he said: "This is your final controller, do not respond to any more communications." It was hard not to repeat it back. :-)

1. Remember you're building time, no need to push the throttle to the firewall. Play with different mixture / power setting and learn where your airplane is most efficient. 2. Do a simulated diversion. E.g. sent a timer and when it goes off, locate the nearest airport and go land there. 3...

Congratulations!
