It’s actually “NextGen Aviation.” It’s a 1967 Arrow but there is nothing 67 about it. Never been to Fallbrook but will have to check that cafe out soon. Thanks for the tip!

Flew into KSGU from SoCal area

There is an adjustment period for becoming more and more comfortable with glass panels but the best tip is to just use what you’re more comfortable with. No need to force anything as long as you’re safe and proficient on one or the other. Would only be a problem if one said something that didn’t...

The main difference on landing is timing the flare. You can do that earlier in a high and not float too much but can flare too soon in a low wing and risk ballooning or slam/ porpoise on a landing. You’ll have to just learn the sight picture to time the flare to get it right. I second the...

The G1000 uses steady-state sensors and a data computer to compute what shows up on the screens. Meaning it should show nose high if the nose is actually high, with no reference to being in level flight or not. The real issue may have been weight and balance too far aft. Having the CG a little...

I rent and it pains me to fly behind someone who left finger prints on the screens of a G1000. They’re clearly NOT touchscreen displays and its not the easiest to clean because you can’t use just anything to wipe them off.

I don’t recommend simply because you won’t be able to see anything. Every 4th of July, the basin is pretty much IFR or MVFR at best from anybody and everybody shooting off whatever they have, even in the cities where they’re not supposed to. Will be way to smoky to see anything worthwhile from...

I am 3 weeks into IFR flight training. Started off reading the IFH before flying with an instructor. Had taken some time off from work and have been flying 2-3 times a week for now with the CFII. Still trying to decide which home study ground school to go with. Feeling comfortable with VOR...

Could just be up to the controllers’ discretion or memory. I’ve given a couple to approach control and once to a tower that were published.

Just keep working at it & you’ll get there!

I busted the LAX Bravo once. I tuned the VOR into a victor airway that I knew would keep me clear. The problem with that was that it never captured. Learned the hard way that the VOR in that plane was INOP. Luckily I was on flight following and ATC gave me a heading to get out. I was harder on...

I’m definitely looking to explore more landing spots around the canyon. The views are unmatched. Thanks for the tip

Yea it is

Yep, still no fuel or any other service for that matter. Met us at the plane with a golf cart & they have shuttles running you to the different viewpoints once inside the park.

They get you on the entrance fee to the park which $45 a person for the day. Compare that to the south rim where it’s only $35 per car for 6 or 7 days of access with in and out privileges.

I know we all have those airports where we’d say, “it’d be cool to fly here.” I was lucky enough to make it to one of mine over the weekend at Grand Canyon West (1G4). It sits on a reservation a couple hundred yards from the edge & makes for the most scenic pattern I’ve ever flown & best of...

I’m just wondering why stopping the camera was the 1st reaction. I mean the blooper reel had already been made, why shut it off now?

You can be signed off for each by different instructors. It’s 2 separate endorsements needed so it doesn’t matter if 2 different instructors signed off. You still need to have the same knowledge as everybody else, regardless of who taught you.

Waypoint Cafe at KCMA for breakfast/ brunch Ragin Crawfish near KOXR for seafood boil

I’ve passed through several times driving. Not a bad town from what I’ve seen. Don’t expect to be able to do anything after 9/10pm as pretty much nothing is open except Waffle House. & if you plan to be driving, no more than 5 over the posted speeds, unless you like collecting tickets...
