It was a diamond 40 from Blue line aviation. https://abc11.com/tag/plane-crash/

The pilot was also an IA. I knew the pilot. Extremely sad.

Hello POA, A few months ago I started a paid apprenticeship at a local flying club for my A&P. Its a fleet of of 14 aircraft. Mooneys, 152s, 172s and Piper Warriors. I've been checked out in all of the planes except the Mooney, but I'm reaching the hour requirement so I'll do that soon...

So far, everywhere I go I have used full service. Wether it’s just a fuel stop or fueling up at my destination airport. I’ve only done self service once in KAVL.. so I’m familiar with the process. As I look at my planned trips coming up, I would like faster turn arounds and also save a few...

As a VFR pilot, (halfway through instrument training) let’s say I’m flying at night.. could I request a “practice X approach to a full stop”? (VFR)

Has been IMC most of the day. But nothing crazy. https://www.wxii12.com/article/rdu-airport-radar-contact-lost-with-small-plane/29528703 Hoping for the best..

not much details yet.. Wednesday night in Buncombe county - 1 fatality. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wyff4.com/amp/article/crews-respond-to-report-of-plane-crash-in-fairview-north-carolina/28196108 Thursday night a few miles south of Fayetteville. 2 fatalities. Pilot + 1 on the ground...

Thank y’all!

I’m a private pilot with about 10hrs under the hood, working towards IR. I know a safety pilot is there to be a lookout and not to instruct in any way shape or form. I just wanted to know if I could just fly with a safety pilot whenever I wanted or if I needed some kind of endorsement or...

Im aroun 10 hours into my training and all is going well. I feel like another 5-8 hours with an instructor would get me comfortable enough to fly with a safety pilot.. but how or who decides when I can start flying with a safety pilot ? I have someone that is willing to help me out.. I just...

Okay I think I’m starting to understand! Here’s the ILS Z for rwy 20 at kpgv So if start the approach at KENIR I don’t have to do a PT? But if I start from the Kinston VOR.. then a PT is required? Another example.. ILS for rwy 35 at KAVL If I were to approach from the Spartanburg VOR to...

It might be a simple answer but I can’t seem to understand.. The instrument commercial book says: “The notation NoPT indicates that you may not perform a procedure turn if you are on that segment of the approach” In some plates it says NoPT literally right where a PT is depicted.. does that...

Went out today to fly some laps around the pattern. Wind was favoring runway 3. There was another C172 in the pattern with me. I took off from a touch and go and as I was crossing the numbers i looked down and there was a bonanza landing on 21. Base on field elevation and my altitude at that...

I had no clue about these! Thanks! I’ve been searching on the average sites (indeed, linkedin, etc)

I currently work in the food industry with a very successful company in Raleigh NC. I make decent money and I would say I’m pretty good at what I do.(management) I am getting a raise/promotion offer in the coming months but I’ve managed in the industry for almost 8 years and I feel like it’s...

So went up on Saturday morning for the second time, logged 1.2 and got signed off! We did stalls, slow flight and some turns. A lot of pattern work at my request which resulted in 6 T&G, 1 go-around and 1 full stop. This time around the airplane felt familiar which gave me more confidence...

Thank you all for your responses! I schedule our second flight for tomorrow at 8:00AM. It will be 36*F BRRRRRRR! I will REALLY focus on my flares, I will also do some landings with 40* flaps.. Excited!

This post is kinda all over the place so bear with me: Went up for 1.3 and had a blast! (BTW, all of my comparisons will be vs the DA40) Got to the FBO, talked to the instructor for like 20 mins about things to expect and such. Went to to the plane and at first glance it seemed to have more...

Will do tomorrow :) I like low wings because of their looks

Ill be getting checked out in a Cessna 172XP tomorrow morning. I have never flown a high wing. ever. Very close to 150hrs, Most of it is in a DA40, some in a DA20 and a maybe 15 hours between a Warrior and a Cherokee. What are some things to expect? I know ground effect and the view is different...
