Probably the ONLY guaranteed bet in Vegas is that he doesn’t

It depends on how they want to work you in. I flew to KLAX VFR and the only mention of altitude from approach was when I was to told to hold an altitude while making a 360 for traffic/ spacing. After that, I had a 13 mile straight in. I kinda made my own decision on when I should start my...

I’ll add that when it comes to retracts, the look and appeal of flying a low wing is way above that of a high wing for me personally. But it is nice to be able to see the gear and know it’s there in case something goes wrong, no matter how goofy the retraction process looks when you’re in...

Could be. Would be nice to hear from someone who’s done it but who would admit to that...

I can definitely see that happening more than someone trying to get it from the ground. I’m more cautious than those with “get-there-itis” & I won’t hesitate to land or not even chance a flight if VFR is questionable en route. I guess my question is why someone taking a pop up would leave...

I’m not IR yet but trying to go somewhere under IFR conditions without the rating and without being in training seems like it’s a lot more trouble than it’s worth. But people never cease to amaze me so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s actually been done quite often. If you can think it, somebody...

For the most part, almost everything in California has been shut down for some time when it comes dining in or even dining outside nowadays. Closest I could get to having a place to sit down & eat is Nevada (approx. 1.5hrs one way to Vegas from where I am). & places there have been starting to...

I only have time in single engine RG so I’ve only used “no more available runway”

I’ve flown an Arrow and a 182RG. Both are tons of fun to fly.

My dad had it. I drove him to the ER the day he tested positive and was a close contact and had to self isolate myself also. Missed a month of work due to the quarantine/assisting with his in home care. His case wasn’t severe enough for a hospitalization but he was nowhere near well enough to be...

This is all within the last few weeks. Towers before this were open till 9pm local time or later.

I fly out the LA are in SoCal and almost every Delta shuts down at 5 or 6PM. Every night flight around here is on CTAF.

+1 for density altitude along with climb rate being the most important thing to consider. Definitely check performance charts.

Yep, it underwent the modifications to add 111lbs to the useful load and added 15 extra hp.

I was curious about fees too before I went and called the number for the airport manager listed in the AFD. The person who answered said there are landing fees for GA but that I would have to contact FAA personnel in the tower for more info. I got some contact info for the tower and reached out...

From what I’ve gathered on my own trip into a Bravo, they won’t allow you to land unless you talk to approach. Approach is who will coordinate your arrival with other arrival traffic and tell you what runway to expect before you call tower. Towers don’t want cold calls for approaches from random...

Yea, they’ve been really accommodating to GA from what I’ve been seeing. They guided one guy to a taxiway to do a run-up and allowed another to file an IFR plan with flight service while holding short the active runway. My own experience was a lot easier than I ever thought it was going to be.

Yea I hope so too. Otherwise it’ll just serve as a nice photo op on short final
