It’s SoFi Stadium. The new home for the Rams and the Chargers.

No landing fee for GA at LAX. Confirmed that with a couple people from the tower. For the time being, you’re also not required to go to an FBO & get hit with their ramp fees.

Thanks! & yep a DA40 with the modification.

Like many others, I too decided to take the chance to knock a Bravo off my list as a private pilot flying VFR. Went into LAX and couldn’t have a had a better experience. Did all my homework and monitored ATC a couple days prior to get an idea of traffic flow & to see if any other GA pilots were...

Sucks that they hassled you for a fee that doesn’t exist but at least you got that money back. I’m doing my homework on this one too and have finding the same information. I hate that it seems to such a daunting task going to these class Bravo airports but like everybody else, I feel if I’m ever...

I really want to get in a landing VFR at LAX this week and just taxi back. Just trying to figure out the right time of day to get in and out with minimal delay/hassle. Was ground pretty accommodating with the request for taxi back or did they give you a hard time about it? & any other tips you...

I was listening in on the ATC at KLAX and they provided an experimental with landing and taxi back all via VFR. If anybody ever wanted to fly a class B that way, now is the time to do it.

I did a flight yesterday with a departure out of a non-towered field and wanted to get FF in air. A little over a month ago, on that same route at approximately the same time of day, ATC gave me a pretty stern, "not doing VFR services at this time." Yesterday's flight was a complete 180. Maybe...

Whoever brought up that argument seems like a pretty pessimistic flyer and probably shouldn’t be doing this if how the hospitals could be affected crosses their mind during flight planning.

I plan on going up next week. Under normal circumstances I would get FF but I'm wondering now if there's even a point to it.

Prison workouts, i.e., burpees, push ups and then use an in home workout machine and walk outside when able. None of this gives me as good of a workout as I usually get in the gym but it's something...

It’s tempting to go up since the place I rent is still open and has had a drop in business meaning more plane availability. But with my financial situation being affected by the virus situation, I can’t justify going up. Plus all there is to do is land and taxi back because you can’t do much or...

If you have the means to go elsewhere, do it. A checkride is already enough to worry about and taking it with somebody you already know and don’t trust that they would give you a fair shot doesn’t need to be added to that. No need to waste the time or money on a potential failed checkride there...

You’re definitely not alone in what you’re experiencing. Landings and stalls are somewhat difficult to grasp when you’re just starting out. I was a perfectionist in doing my training and wanted to get everything right on the 1st shot but it doesn’t happen that way. These maneuvers take a little...

The rental having GPS or being able to plot a direct route on a map isn’t the only factor taken into account for my flying. I fly in So Cal where some destinations can be direct and some can’t. A direct to heading isnt always possible when dealing with a large Bravo that doesn’t always give...

It usually depends on which plane I’m flying and where I’m headed to. I rent so if a plane has GPS I’ll definitely take advantage of that to get where I’m going for more direct routing. If not and I have a destination in which airways are helpful, I definitely fly along them. I fly in and...

You’re fine with just letting them know the destination to start and then letting them know you’re intended route on 1st contact. Along the way, another controller may ask for your route again if C and D are really out of the way of your destination but it’s not really a problem to not go direct...

I pick up flight following on every flight that I feel it would be useful which typically is every cross country. I fly in and around the LA basin which is full of class D and has multiple class C and then there’s always the big one, KLAX. FF helps a lot in transitioning all the airspace around...
