About a year after I started the initial training I finally passed my checkride last week. The cross country hours took me forever to build up. I finished that off with a nice flight from Hawthorne, CA to Oakland to see the Dodgers play across the bay. The oral went perfectly, it was only about...

I have to try to KBCK next week for a funeral. It is inside a MOA. Filing IFR seems safer than going in VFR, but if I file and the MOA is hot, what is ATC going to do?

We had someone from Kansas City who was going to stay with us during the EAA Airventure, but changed his mind about coming. So now my wife and I are happy to offer our spare bedroom in our house in northern Appleton, Wisconsin, about 35 minutes from EAA in Oshkosh. It isn't much, just a futon...

I'm thinking about upgrading my Sigtronics S-20 headset. Right now, I'm considering the Lightspeed QFR SOLOc and Lightspeed QFR XCc (with ANR). I like the price of the passive headset and I also like that it has a pretty high amount of muffling (28.7 db according to the selasfolk). But, if the...

Anyone flown X-C down the east coast way out over the Atlantic? I'm new to the east coast and I'm interested in flying from NC to Florida. The direct route would take me a good ways out over the Atlantic. I'm not concerned about flying over way, just curious as to what issues I'm about...

I got my IA on June 2nd. June 17th I took some friends up and I poked through a puff of a cloud. It was IMC but only about 0.01 hours but it counted. :) Well today I was flying back to the bay area from up north. SQL was reporting scattered at 2500 and I wanted to shoot an approach with my...

A pretty comprehensive review from the gummint. Probably all of the lower-end systems frequently debated here plus all the high end air transport ones. http://www.volpe.dot.gov/opsad/efb/pdf/efb-industry05.pdf If you are on a dial-up line you probably do not want to click this link.

Hi. Recently I bought the new Jeppesen FliteStar VFR but unfortunately it doesn't include Moving Map. It seems that they had Moving Map in FliteMap and they had FliteDeck separately from the JeppView package. They discontinued all that. I'm just VFR and plan to remain in this category, so, I don't...

This is purely theoretical - it is not something I am planning for next Saturday : If you are to fly over an expanse of water or other inhospitible terrain, for a distance long enough to require re-fueling immediately prior (US-Europe ferry, for example) - You watch to see that they put the right...

I used to use DUAT to file flight plans for VFR Flight Following and VFR On Top. Not long ago, they changed their software. Now I can't get it to accept an OTP flight plan. Haven't tried FF. Example: Yesterday I filed an IFR plan having altitude field of 125/OTP. It rejected it. It accepted...
