Just saw this A36 Bonanza fatal accident: https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/plane-crashes-on-a-fredricksburg-road/1708867284 Curious about it, I decided to look up the N number of the airplane involved and it belongs to the man who just sold me my Bonanza. He said he wanted to upgrade to an A36 to...

I realize that a large portion of you already seem to know the life stories of one other, and there are probably some similar threads like this already on the board, but I'm still trying to sort everyone out. This question was inspired by a similar thread I just saw on the red board... Me...

http://www.skyguardtwx.com/UAT_TRANSCEIVER.html Nice looking device for $1475, that solves the current ADS-B traffic issue, since it has both ADS-B in and out capability.

Last week I sent my SkyguardTWX back, in order to receive a GPS and firmware upgrade. It's my understanding that this should allow the device to continue functioning as a transceiver after the end of the year. The upgrade only cost me $50, so I just wanted to make a post to say how happy I've...

Are there any 4 seat experimentals that can compete in price/performance with older certified aircraft? I love the RV10, but I could practically fly my old plane for the next 20 years for the purchase price alone, based on what I see on controller at least. I only just joined the EAA, so it's...

Unfortunately my co-worker just informed me that he is giving up on getting his pilot's license (he's already soloed), since it is too expensive now that he and his wife are considering having a child. The kicker here is that I was letting this person use my airplane at no cost, all he had to...

I have to confess I did this yesterday from my home airport, all the way to my destination, about 50 miles away.../me hits self in head. The only "excuse" I have is that I was chit-chatting with the pilot in the passenger seat the whole time, and it's pretty rare for me to fly with another pilot...

The local Coastal Conservation Association has inquired about the possibility of me donating my airplane and piloting skills for a local auction. As I do not currently have my commercial rating, I'm wondering about the FAA's take on the process of money exchanging hands for a flight, even though...

After making the move to flying a complex airplane, I find that I talk myself through most of the procedures during takeoffs and landings. I do this when I'm flying alone, or if I have passengers. I guess it's my way of trying to make sure I don't forget anything, but I was just curious if...

As a Private Pilot, am I allowed to charge passengers their portion of an engine and/or propeller overhaul fund for a flight? Additionally, if I have a co-worker who is borrowing my plane to get his PPL, am I allowed to charge him for engine overhaul time? Since he is a named pilot on my...

I have been wondering lately about the mechanical safety of general aviation, so I decided to pull some numbers from the NTSB(*edit*, originally posted as FAA) and figure out the percentage of accidents that are not due to pilot error. The data I used from the NTSB is attached, for the...
