I'm interested in recommendations for an general aviation airport in the Sealy, Texas area. I'd prefer reasonable fuel prices and low or no fees. I'll be flying there this Thursday to attend a funer... errr... wedding, :') and staying until Sunday. Airports within 20 miles or so of Sealy...

Hello community, imagine you have a plane (rented) with a build in 2-place intercom (sigtronics in this case) and want to give your passengers their own headsets, so you can communicate with them. It is not necessary for them to hear the radio transmissions you make, although, it would be nice (if...

Hey, I'm you basic 200hr PPL-ASEL and a friend of mine has asked me to donate a sightseeing flight to her charity's auction. Four questions: First, since I'm not being reimbursed for the flight, I don't even think this fall under 61.113(d). It's basically just me taking up a stranger where, no...

My mother remembers when Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic. It wasn't too long after that when she last rode in a light aircraft. She regards a 19 passenger turbo-prop as "one of those little planes". Before today, I regarded the odds of her climbing into my Maule right up there with the chances of...

Windy as all get out today, the plane tied down on the apron took quite a beating. Saw the tail lift on a 170 and two 150's actually left the ground a few times. While scrambling around trying to keep them pointed into the wind and resecuring the wheel chocks, I noticed some pretty high...

I was going to ask my CFI these questions but I figured these groups are so rich with information and opinions that I would start here. I am a 120 hr PP planning a VFR X/C from Bowman field Louisville, KY (KLOU) to Mattoon, IL (KMTO) this weekend. According to the new AOPA flight planner (very...

Howdy ya'll, Is it expected of a student pilot on his private pilot checkride to intercept a VOR radial and fly towards the station? Thanks, Alex

I'm looking for a club prop I can use to break in/test an engine. I could use a regular prop I suppose, but the engine will be on a test stand and I'd rather have something with a reduced diameter for safety. The engine will be producing around 180 to 190 hp and I'd like to be able to run it up...

How many people do / teach doing a full before landing checklist when doing pattern work? I do with my students, but other cfi's I work with use a quick / abbreviated one for our Cessna 172/152 Hi BoDean I do, and I believe that CFI's should teach this. Here is why. Forget the 152/172 for...
