I am currently flying under Basic Med, but considering getting Commercial and CFI (already have Instrument). This would require a Third Class Medical. If I understand correctly, if I apply for a Third Class Medical and fail, my Basic Med is no longer valid. So I’d be grounded, possibly for...

Thanks all…confirming this is what I got. Easy peasy. Runway heading to 1000’, then 250 heading, then vectors to VTU VOR then on course.

Any KSMO IFR pilots know what the usual IFR Departure procedure is for Westbound traffic (KSMO to KSBA)? Thank you.

I’m a newbie at AirVenture…first time this year. I’ve heard the night airshow is spectacular. Any recommendations on where to sit to view it tonight (Wednesday)?

I am planning my first IFR to Half Moon Bay today (KHAF). I see lots of posts about the great restaurant on the field, but any recommendations off-airport? Are they walking distance, and if so, how far and directions? Is it easy? Thanks, Nor Cal aviators! Looking forward to our visit to...

Today I’m taking off mild IMC IFR from KMCC in Sacramento. There’s no Obstacle Departure Procedure and no Standard Instrument Departure. So with my clearance, will ATC tell me how to fly to the first fix (LIN)? Officially then, when there are no procedures, then is the procedure to climb...

Great Video! Same here...almost... Southwest cancelled my KPSP - KOAK flight the night before and rescheduled me on a flight that would have me arrive way too late for my 1pm meeting. So, making lemonade from a big lemon... KOAK was very IFR with icing. Southwest offered to fly me from...

Going to Vegas (North) KVGT tomorrow. Anyone flown in? Should I file IFR to be escorted in by ATC through the Bravo or just go VFR and hope for Bravo clearance? Looks like I can barely clear Bravo 2000’ AGL and sneak in VFR up against the hills…but not easy. Any recommendations?

Yes…but… If you fail 2nd or 3rd, you lose your BasicMed. Be careful if you have and potential health issues.

Bose Deal Heads Up! As you may be aware, BOSE rarely has meaningful deals on aviation headsets. The A20 is the gold standard for noise reduction and I guess they don’t think they need to discount it. Well right now, they are accepting trade-in’s of their Bose X headsets for a $300 credit. It’s...

…is it GA friendly? Costs? Should I go to KMYF or elsewhere instead?

This worked. Thanks!

I’m flying to the Auburn, CA area for the day tomorrow. I need to rent a car. There are none available in Auburn…all sold out. Anyone know that area? Are there other airports where I can more easily rent a car and drive? There’s KSMF of course, but it’s far and I’m not sure if they are GA...

Interesting...not sure the airlines will be happy with "unreliable" GPS. It's a big deal all around if GPS is "unreliable" throughout So Cal. Even if it's not unreliable, the airlines and professional pilots have to assume it's potentially unreliable, and that's a big deal...

Do I read this correctly...most of LA's GPS including approaches may not work during this time period? If that happens, then what???? Or maybe I read it wrong? ttps://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2021/Jul/SCTTR_21-08_GPS_Flight_Advisory_Revision_1.pdf

I know it’s a long shot… Palm Springs, where I have a hangar, is way too hot for the next 3 months. I will be keeping my plane part time at KAVX outdoors, but am also seeking hangar space for 3 months at KVNY, KBUR, KWHP, KSMO or KHHR. Happy to share a community space. Any leads? Much appreciated!

Seriously considering this 206. Yes it’s a lot but it’s like new. Thoughts? Any 206 experts here? Need a higher useful load than my service as our 22.https://www.aircraftdealer.com/aircraft-for-sale-detail/Cessna-206/1974-Cessna-Turbo-TU206F-Stationair/78196.htm

Even though our airport (KUDD) has a steady stream of jet traffic, we only have a windsock...no AWOS / ASOS. We can use weather from KPSP or KTRM as a proxy, but often our wicked desert winds vary even a few blocks apart. Anyone know how much a basic system with wind and altimeter costs and...

Thank you! Will check them out.

I am considering relocating my Cirrus SR22 to KPSP or KUDD. I found someone at KUDD, but so far there's no one at KPSP... Any recommendations or leads? Thanks, all!
