What do people use typically to allow friends and family to easily track your flights? I’m aware they can go enter the tail number into FlightAware, but I’m wondering if there is anyplace that allows you to create a custom page which someone can go to and just see your flights… I’m guessing not...

Total speculation of course doesn’t it sound like a departure stall/spin? Just based on the location of the crash and from what they said on the press conference they were using runway 2

Kath, What a great read so far, I am working through it. These type of blogs inspire me so much and I am intending on creating something similar during my trip as well. Thanks!

So I think I may do a coast to coast trip, I am looking at threads on the subject and planning a route and am very interested in any pointers to past flight plans or blogs people have written about their experiences. Yes, I can and will plan my own route but it is always good to read...

A bit of an open ended question here, but I want to take a long trip this summer perhaps early to mid July in my Cherokee 180. IFR Equipped, however I am a conservative IFR flier and am just getting current again so I will absolutely file, but am not looking for storm dodging in the summer so...

While I don't have any insider information, does anyone really believe that Steve P and the folks over at Seattle Avionics wouldn't do the same if they were offered it from a much larger company? That is what I am most likely going to do. FF has been fine, and I have tried Garmin Pilot in the...

I guess my point is that King focuses on literally the written test, so exactly the material to answer those questions. Courses like Sportys go beyond that and illustrate things like landing technique (aiming point, etc). Thinking back perhaps the "Complete King" courses that have the other...

This is for my 15 year old daughter who wants to start training or at least learning aviation theory, rules, etc beyond just what I teach her while we are flying. Typical kid these days much more of a visual learner, so my first thought was the Sportys courses, but I will have to say they seem...

Probably more than you want to know :) https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/eaa-news-and-aviation-news/12-09-2015-pbor-faq

You will need to renew your medical this time. If you are still under 40 that will be for another five years and in theory by next summer the 'reform' should be in place.

I have been using an iPad in the cockpit for years now on a kneeboard, but now that ADS-B traffic is becoming more of a reality I want to move it more in my scan as the original poster mentioned. I have the RAM mounts that people are using here and in my Cherokee am finding that the weight on...

Just had my first ever IPC after getting the instrument rating around four years ago. I thought it would be much more difficult, but I will tell you I think I am going to do that annually just to reset the clock on currency. Was not painful at all, and frankly getting some tips and another...

I think in my case he was just having a bad day or whatever... I was in class E, and am used to having alts assigned from NY Approach. In this case there was no alt assignment and a quiet frequency on that side of the airspace. He probably wanted to drop me, but of course hearing that I am...

I like NY approach as well. The only time I have had any issue is over on the NJ side (west side of the Bravo). Was on VFR following in what I thought was a sector that was not that busy. Nobody had said to advise if changing altitudes so I started to climb as the turbulence was bad...

I echo everything that has been said so far but will also add that your costs given the number of people you mentioned seem low to me unless you are buying a very low cost aircraft. I owned my Cherokee solo for several years and just this year found two other people and created an...

Fly to Oshkosh again Fly in the RV-14A at Oshkosh Start a build of some RV or another or decide it isn't going to happen now Virginia Beach flying Family Vacation Stay IFR current

No Gps might be the issue there, but I have a similar issue which they have not fixed yet. When you see the blank maps try hitting the Go to current location button in the lower right. It brings the map up then for me but I have to do this every time I start WingX. I really like it a lot but...

So I am waking up a now couple month old thread, but thought I would put in a vote for Virginia Beach since it seems to be getting trashed quite a bit here. This is one of those questions like "What Plane Should I Buy?" and then everyone asks what the mission is and before you know it anything...

I am currently in the process of converting over my solely owned aircraft to a co-ownership arrangement with two other people. In our case the start of this arrangement lines up nicely with the annual inspection, so that is what was used as a "pre buy". Since no major issues turned up we are...

From my understanding, No. It expects you to have an iPad dedicated to it more or less. If you switch to it I believe it is 30 seconds or so to get it's bearings. This is one of the first questions I had asked the author. I still think the app is great and will get it when it supports the...
