My flying club just acquired a 1997 Cessna 182S on leaseback. It arrived this past Thursday, and I was the first club member to rent it (today). Interesting comparing it to our 1986 Cessna 182R. Our EAA chapter had our monthly luncheon flyout today, so I got three legs in to sample different power...

As some of you may recall, several months ago I dreamily posted the idea of rolling my Pathfinder. I never really intended to try it, but I did wonder if it was even possible to achieve without ripping off the wings. Many of you assured me that it would probably roll just fine, but that the...

Just got my first flight in a G-1000 equipped 182 yesterday. After spending 1.5 hours on the ground a few days earlier, going through the avionics modes, I went for a 1.4hr flight yesterday. The capabilities of the G-1000 are very impressive, but there is a lot to learn. The weirdest things for me...

A week after earning my license, I took my wife up for an hour flight today. She has put up with the process of me spending 8 months earning the license, so I wanted to "treat" her by being my first passenger. No big details to add, other than the flight was great. Relatively strong wind, 20...

We needed to get the Arrow to the avionics shop at another airport and both partners are out of town. Gee, that means I have to fly the plane. What, you mean skip work to fly, since the avionics shop is open 8-5…and the problem with that is...what? :-) Even better, it was a Monday. What a way...

My partner and I went up in the Mooney this AM to take advantage of the unusual overcast at MHR. Tower was reporting around 1,000 overcast with vis around 3. We took off from our little foothills airport (non-tower) right behind a Luscome who seemed to depart right into the soup. In the 2 hours it...

This was a new one for me. I was IFR this afternoon out of HPN for short practice flight. I was in sequence number two at the runway waiting for departure. As the tower controller cleared the Cessna in front of me to position and hold, he asked him his direction of flight. The Cessna pilot...

A Robinson R44 and an R22 crashed at 3:30 Thursday afternoon. The R44 contained a flight instructor and student taking the Robinson safety course in the 4 place. The R22 had a student making his first supervised solo. Amazingly, the crash occured right in front of the control tower. The student...

2, People know that Swiss made watches are best, while the Asia made are worst but cheapest, but Some of Asia made Oyster Perpetual Air King - All Stainless Steel are also close to a real thing that is in fact almost impossible to tell the difference. Of course, the two are not exactly the same...

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...

Sunshine! We had not flown since December 23rd -- a new downtime record for Mary and me -- so flying today felt really, REALLY good. 1.0 hours up to Janesville, WI in crystal clear, absolutely silky smooth, -20 degree air at 5500 feet, followed by an outstanding (if cholesterol deadly) breakfast...

Anyone our there an expert that is will to help a new user? thanks dan

Would like some info on the rec.aviation fly-in at Pinckneyville - is it happening this year for sure? Also, if there's anybody out there who knows PJY really well, could you get in touch? We'd like to do an article on the field for Flyguides and AOPA. Thanks a lot, David Wenk Flyguides, Inc
