In the mid 80s I was in flight training at a part 141 school, Navarro College, In Corsicana, Texas. I would not recommend this college to anyone seeking an aviation college, by the way. I'll let you know more privately if you wish. I took the nice 172 to Gilmer, Tx. for an overnight visit to part...

In the U.S., is there any regulation that prescribes a minimum rate of climb or descent for changes in altitude during VFR cruise flight? If I decide to make a gradual climb from 4500 to 6500 feet westbound (gradual meaning 200 fpm or so), is this allowed, or do I have to meet or exceed some...

Anybody know where to find the track (distance between wheels) on one of these crop dusters? We have to build a trailer to haul one to a museum.

Hi all. I'm a 39 year old guy who has loved flying and dreamt of being a pilot for a long time. This year I finally realized that I had more than enough money to start and figured I owed it to myself to book a discovery flight with every intention of seeing it through to my private pilot's...
