Loved my 1965 Cherokee 180C when I had it. Nice plane to train in and use for some cross countries. FYI the 180's are about 11"-12" shorter than the archers that replaced them, but you have a greater useful load with the hershey bar wings.

I remember a course divination arrow on a horizontal scale, but nothing with course and glide-slope.

I actually carry 2 IPad's. one that I am using and one as a backup. Almost all subscriptions to charts, or Foreflight, Garmin Pilot, etc allow for 2 units for one subscription.

No, you can use a switch, but the existing CDI with glide-slope was not compatible with my Garmin 400, so I removed the CDI without the Glide-slope and installed another that was compatible.

Kind of like I did. instead of the garmin 175 "which wasn't around when I did this, I used a Garmin 400 waas. One show the old, the other new. Notice I have 2 CDI's now.

At the time I was a new pilot with not much experience and made a few mistakes with a new plane that I just purchased, but I picked the trees to hit and stalled the plane just before hitting them. On sit investigation lasted about 15 min with me. The investigator said I did everything right...

Here is my toughest landing. Engine failure.... 3 passengers "wife, Mom, and myself" and we all walked away.

Since Nashville Approach and Departure use the same frequency 119.35, you can say either one or Just say “Nashville” but call Clearance Delivery first at 124.55.

I have redundant GPS, but not like you think.. :)

Yes, I had a bit of a problem too, but with older planes like mine the grounds become an issue. I found the ground for my rotating beacon was not very good. I ran a double ground for the new one and eliminated the problem.

I used theRedBaron XP Galactica on my Cherokee 180C. http://www.aveoengineering.com/redbaron-xp-galactica/ If you go to the web site they have pictures of my install, plus a shot of it in my hand to show you the size. I also change the vertical fin from knots2u to make it narrower.

The color blindness test is to check to see if you can see Red, Yellow, Green, and White lights. In case of no radios the tower can signal you will a light gun. They should still be in your books on what the codes are, but Green is go, Red is stop. I am color blind and failed the test myself...

When learning to fly it should not be too much of an overload on you. If so the instructor needs to back off to allow you to understand what you are doing before moving on. Each person learns at a different pace. When I was learning my instructor moved to the next step after I concord the...

What about KPLK? It is right downtown is my understanding and they have rental cars. KBBG is out a bit. As far as fun we were there years ago and went to some of the comedy clubs. There is also an Scenic Outlook tower to go to.

45 hrs, 3 months, 2005. Flew everyday I could except weekends. Paid in advance for discount. Flying everyday reduces the time it take to get your license.

I fly out to Oregon every year for the last 5 years "calling it a business trip" 2 times in a 1965 Cherokee 180 and now in a Commander 112A from Savannah TN. Actually my avatar is my Commander in Logan Ut on one of my trips. my flight is through the central route which easy to do and some...

When I’m done flying I usually take one battery out. Seems to make the batteries last longer.

I graduated from Stone Mtn. High School many years ago. Worked at the Mtn. as a kid and nicked up to the top many times. There use to be an airport on the east side Stone Mtn. Airport that is gone now when they had the Olimpics. Flew in a PT19 owned by Benny Britt the last I have seen the...

The 430 WAAS will be around for a while. If it is not was more $ to get it upgraded or buy new. I had to go the cheaper route on my upgrades and bought used. My package is a bit different, but still WAAS. Mind you I had to wheel and deal pretty hard to get what I got over a 1 1/2 years. But...

Sounds a bit much to me. With that engines TBO of 2000, you looking at a $50K overhaul from what I have read. Needs work in the interior and could use some avionics upgrades. I have a Commander 112 with new leather interior, carpet, upgraded avionics/radios/ ADSB in and out. Huge cabin...
