Hi everyone! I am planning my first solo cross country, and there is one airfield that is 49.5 miles away from my home airport as measured from the geographic centers of both airports. Would KLZU → KTOC be accepted by a DPE as a cross-country? I figure KAHN → KPDK at 48.9 NM is not acceptable...

Hi, student pilot here. I recently bought a Cherokee 6/260 and flew it from South Carolina back to Southern California with my CFI. I am hoping to do my check ride by the end of the month but scheduling may not allow it. I am doing my training in the Bakersfield area (up there during the week...

Howdy all. I am thinking about whether I should fly my 182 out to the phoenix area or grab an airline ride. I'll be coming in from almost directly east of Phoenix and noticed there were some mountains there. I have multiple hours flying gliders in the mountains in New Mexico, but I've never...

I've got to knock out my commercial solo cross country requirements pretty soon. As I read 14 CFR 61.129 (3) (iii) and (iv) I need a 2 hour day and a 2 hour night cross country that must consist of more than 100nm straight line distance from point of departure. Also, according to 14 CFR...

Hi all, this is my first post to the forum. I'm purchasing a PA28-181 (Archer III) in Philadelphia and will be flying it home to Orange County (just south of Los Angeles) at the end of October. The plane's service ceiling is about 11,000 MSL. Given the time of year and desire to avoid the...

Always wanted to take off and fly around the lower 48 states. Land at least once in every state. Took off yesterday headed to Florida, stopped in Westerly, Rhode Island. Dooney Aviation was a great FBO. Check off RI. Flew west and down the Hudson Exclusion, not the best visibility, but we were...

Yesterday, I rented out a Piper Archer and did a quick XC (83 NM [166 NM round trip]) with my friends. When I returned back to home base, I was surprised to see that the Hobbs meter indicated that I was out for 2.9 hr! The flight did not feel like 2.9 hours. After referring to FlightRadar...

Hi Guys, I've already posted this on several other forums, but I just wanted to share it with anyone who hasn't seen it and might be interested. This is a 'coast to coast' flight I completed over the summer in my Pitts S1S. Apart from comfort, autopilot, and a transponder, this airplane also...

This past weekend, I completed my first solo XC flight and I wanted to get some feedback (or criticism) from this esteemed group. I flew from my home towered airport (Class D with no radar services) to another non-towered airport which was 55nm each way. The flight was largely uneventful until...

Hi folks, This is my first post as a new user, but I've been lurking for a while now. I'd like to present a scenario that hopefully those on this forum with far more experience will chime in on with recommendations. I've been thinking about this stuff *forever*, so please forgive the long...

Hello all! (Here’s my first post, yay!) I’m a relatively new pilot with a bit over 150 hrs and currently starting my instrument rating. My budget will allow me to purchase an airplane by the end of 2020 so I’m starting to look around. Before you recommend other options like Comanche’s...

For all my flight training all I was focused on was passing the checkride. Well I did that last week, and honestly, I don't know what to do next. I feel a bit intimidated now that no one is looking over my shoulder on every flight. For now, my best idea is to go over a couple of local sight...
