    How big of a pain in the rear is it to take out the rear seats in a 172?

    Is the sign off required if it is just a temporary change. The seats would be out for only two flights. Of course the weight and balance calcs are moot if I can't get the seats out easily :)

    How big of a pain in the rear is it to take out the rear seats in a 172?

    1972 R172K. It looks like there are only four bolts securing the rear seats, seat belts have quick connects to anchors in the floor. The seat frame is one big bench, but there are separate cushions/backrests for each side. It appears that there is some sort of mechanism to pivot the...

    Burning Colorado

    Only that which insurance will not replace. Mostly stuff with sentimental value (photo albums, china cups that belonged to my grandmother, etc). Everything else stays behind.

    Grand Junction, CO Airshow - Blue Angels - Sept 21, 22, 23 2012

    Are you planing on flying in? I didn't see any info about aircraft parking, airport closure times etc. It would be cool to fly in for the day!

    Cessna 337

    Welcome to Steamboat, even though you haven't moved here yet! I think a turbo 337 would make a great Steamboat aircraft. I am a member of the flying club here, and we have a TR182 (in addition to a straight leg 182 and a R172K). I haven't had a chance to fly the Turbo yet, but have never had...

    Landing and eating mainly

    Just to add to Murphy's list - Steamboat Springs (KSBS) has a $5 ramp fee, but also has two courtesy cars available. The airport and FBO are city owned, so there is political motivation to make the airport finacially self sufficient, hence the ramp fee.

    "ornamental gravel", isn't that an oxymoron? :wink2:

    Pet poll

    When we travel with our dog, we seek out pet friendly hotels. However, most places that we stay do not allow you to leave your pet in the room unattended, which I agree with, because a dog alone in an unfamilar place will most likely bark or engage in destructive behaivor. Perhaps you should...

    Flying into KAPA - need local advice

    Well I ended up not making the flight for obvious reasons to those dwelling on the Front Range. Instead I took the FIKI Subaru. Round trip was 9 hours instead of 4...of course I did stop at a few shops in the Wheat Ridge on my back. Thanks for the advice, I am sure I will be using it at some...

    Flying into KAPA - need local advice

    Yes, I will be on Flight Following, so hoping for the straight in. I have chosen TAC Air based on Mari's and your recomendation. Flight is tomorrow morning. I would love to meet for lunch, but since I am departing Steamboat at 9:00am, I am hoping for a quick turn @ KAPA so we can beat any...

    Flying into KAPA - need local advice

    First flight into KAPA. We are dropping off a dog that we cared for this week. What is a good place to meet the person we are handing the dog off to, ideally it would be a place that is easy to find both for us taxiing, and the person driving to the airport? Are there any special procedures...

    FAR question - Transponders

    Our club's 172 transponder cert expires at the end of April. Unfortunately there is no one on our home field that can do the cert. It needs to be flown down to Jeffco (Rocky Mtn Metro) to get certified. The problem is that it can't be flown down until next weekend (which is in May). According to...

    C182RG vs Cherokee 6/300 for big guy

    I hate to bring up the High Wing vs Low Wing thing, but if you are flying the family around the country to see it, I would think everyone would see more in the High Wing.
