I read through your comments and have to say thank you so much for the feedback. I was able to take the advice received from this forum and put it to good use. I would like to share the flight with this group. I have added chapter stamps to the video, as it is over 30 mins long. I will be...

I'm bored guys. Let's build a panel together. I was thinking either a PA-28 or a C-172 but open to suggestions. I will add the suggested instruments to the template. I prefer steam gauges, but we can add glass if you want. I was also thinking "Light" IFR but maybe we can do a VFR and an IFR...

This is an excellent video by Joe Casey (DPE) on Spatial Disorientation. Some of the illustrations and techniques in this video are eye opening. Ways to show the effects of SD and ways to avoid SD begin about halfway through the video (see they guys spinning with the bats - LOL). Enjoy!

Hi, Travelling past NYC we plan to do the "SFRA" 1000-1300 foot VFR route along Hudson (123.05) and East river (123.075). We also plan to book ahead and land at 6N5 heliport for the night. We have a Bell 505. So my question is: When coming in from the north on East River (123.075), following...

Hi all, In a few weeks a friend and myself will be flying a Bell 505 from tip of Florida to East coast Canada. Strictly VFR, so intend to fly below or outside the TMA's most of the time. Planning to spend approx 2 weeks on this part of the trip, where we plan to remain coastwise until past NYC...

This got even longer than I thought it would, so TL/DR: Flew from Raleigh-Durham to the Bahamas via Fort Lauderdale Executive. Bought the AOPA Bahamas guide book thing and it explained requirements pretty well, but there were still some surprises along the way. Just like everything I've...

Hi everyone. Brand new to this forum but love what I see. I’m in Tulsa, OK and looking to see if there is anyone around here who is interested in building some time? Or knows anyone with an airplane that needs to be flown more? (Wishful thinking of course). Ive got PPL. Also, any opinions on...

I’ve been wanting to fly around the city of Detroit at night (vfr). Is it fairly easy to get the clearance to do this even inside of the bravo? How do you go about doing this when it comes to radio calls and such?

I’ve been wondering how to talk to atc while heading to land at a private strip (not on vfr sectionals). If I am on flight following do I just cancel advisories when the field is in sight? How does it work with descending below vfr minimums to land? Is there any extra steps I need in order to...

I'm currently working on my private pilot and I was wondering if there was any good kind of guide books for VFR. Like a small book i can put in my flight bag that has weather minimums, airspace stuff, frequencies, and just other useful stuff like that all in one place. Kind of like a quick...

I've been trying to understand how this works, I know that some class D airports have radar, others don't, for those who don't have it, the only thing I can think of is looking through binoculars but that sounds like a long shot. In some D airports I land at (VFR) which I am fairly sure don't...

Is there a convenient way to use Foreflight to identify the correct ARTCC frequency for picking up VFR flight following when away from a metropolitan area with approach control? I did all my flight training at a class D airport within a class C area, so I always picked up FF from the approach...

Hey guys and gals, hope this okay to post here. I created a "VFR Quick Reference poster" based on some feedback from a facebook group and I have to say, it came out AWESOME. The folks from the facebook group asked me if they could purchase them so I setup a website so they could buy them. The...

Ever heard of 178 seconds to live? A few weeks ago my friend Martin Pauly and I went out for breakfast in his A36 Bonanza and we decided to make a video demonstrating him flying "by the seat of his pants" to see how long he could fly before getting into an unusual attitude. Martin is an in...

Hello, I am PP student, I have been looking for an app that have the ability to show near by aircraft position to use as a secondary precaution to VFR to maximize safety, I have only few hours flying and so far i feel that I have no special issues with aircraft control, the only thing that...

So technically this video is from my trip to OSH17, but it doesn't look like too many folks have posted videos of their OSH Departures, so I thought I'd throw mine into the mix! The arrival gets all of the love (for good reason), but the departure demands respect and a good set of ears. You'll...

Quick question on phraseology. I fly out of 06C west of O'Hare Intl, and often I take advantage of the excellent radar coverage, to request flight following. My call to Chicago Approach is straightforward: Chicago Approach, Piper 4-3-3-5-K, over Bartlet, requesting flight following. ATC comes...

Here is my take on flying IFR. I plan on getting my IFR rating sometime soon, and this video is probably more for student pilots. If you are a VFR pilot and ever flown into clouds or IMC, what was the experience like and how did you fly your way out?

In other words; what aviation gear do you typically carry with you. I'm curious to know what everyone else carry with them on a normal flight. As a VFR pilot, what I generally have is my headset, logbook, charts/notepad/calculator and a pencil, may be some camera gear. What's in your bag? VFR...
