Ep. 27: Can I fix my landings in my PA-38 Piper Tomahawk?
Looking back at the video from an evening flight with a friend, I decided I was drifting left too much on my touch-and-go landings. Since I wasn't sure if it was a crosswind to blame or just some lazy feet on the rudder, I decided to return to the airfield and practice in the pattern. I paid particular attention to crosswind inputs, fighting for centerline and staying active on the rudders to avoid drifting to one side.

Ep. 27: HOW MUCH Have I Spent on Avionics Upgrades for my Piper Tomahawk?
Просмотров 185День назад
Since buying the Tomahawk in July of 2023, I've added a GPS 175 and a glideslope indicator, swapped out the transponder, had my KX-155 refurbished and reinstalled and now I've got a nice little modern IFR platform. But what has all of that cost? #avionics #aviation #aviationlovers #piperaircraft #pilot #generalaviation #piper #garmin
Quickie: Flying My Piper Tomahawk Above Oxford, Mississippi at 1000 feet
Просмотров 852 месяца назад
On a recent flight to Oxford, Miss., I was able to fly my PA-38 Piper Tomahawk right over the campus of the University of Mississippi and Vaught-Hemingway football stadium since it wasn't a game day. Shot this was a DJI Action 3 at about 1,500 feet (pattern altitude for the airport). No audio other than wind.

On this morning flight to take a dog from KJVW (Raymond, Miss.) to KEDN (Enterprise, Ala.) I talk about what it's cost to maintain and operate my 47-year-old Piper Tomahawk in my first year of ownership, as well as what it's cost to me to upgrade the avionics for full IFR training capabilities.
Ep. 25: The 'Three Airport Challenge' and Landing Woes in My Piper Tomahawk PA-38
Просмотров 2627 месяцев назад
When I have about an hour to fly and want to stay local, I'll fly "The Three Airport Challenge." Up off my home field of KJVW, over to the towered KHKS near downtown Jackson, then up to the pilot-controlled KMBO, all with three different-sized runways and different glideslope indicators. Plus, it's a fun flight over landmarks in metro Jackson. On this particular trip, though, a smooth landing s...
Ep. 24: Dodging Weather on My Epic Flight Back to Mississippi from Charleston
Просмотров 2328 месяцев назад
It took nearly 7 hours of flying time as I fought headwinds and bumped along at low altitude to get back to the Jackson, MIss., area from Charleston, S.C. It was a great experience, though, as I flight planned and flew my way back across the Southeast, watching the weather and waiting for clouds to lift.
Ep. 23: Rescuing Dogs with My Plane - Fun Way to Build Flying Hours... and Do Some Good!
Просмотров 17411 месяцев назад
I joined Pilots N Paws late last year, and I've already gotten a chance to fly three different dogs from kill shelter situations to new families in other parts of the country. Plus, I've built over 17 flight hours, done some important flight planning and management, been to new airports, and gotten favorable winds to fly some of my fastest ground speeds yet!
Ep. 22 - It's SO EASY to land a Piper Tomahawk - As long as no one else is on the runway!
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.Год назад
I set out in this video to talk about some of the differences I've seen in landings with my Piper Tomahawk vs. my experience in Cessnas (mostly Cessna 172s). In this particular episode, though, I also deal with some miscommunications that force a go-around. After all, it doesn't matter what plane you're trying to land if someone takes the runway in front of you!
Ep. 21: Is a Vashon Ranger better than a Cessna? Here's my review.
Просмотров 15 тыс.Год назад
On a trip to North Carolina (it was both FLYDAY and my birthday!) I rented a Vashon Ranger to fly from Hickory, North Carolina, to Mt. Airy, North Carolina. The Ranger is an LSA (light sport aircraft) that seems to have been designed to be a bigger, more sophisticated version of the Cessna 150/152/162, going so far as to use the Continental 0-200 engine made famous by the Cessna 150 and updated...

In this flight video, I visit three airports (both towered and un-towered) in my local area for touch-and-gos and to practice an RNAV GPS approach using my new GPS. I also explain how I made the decision to buy a Garmin 175 GPS, where I decided to put it in my radio stack, how much it cost to get installed-and whether it seems like the right decision. Chapters here (skip to the avionics talk at...

On a cross-country flight to Mobile, Ala. so I can get a GPS installed, I outline a few of the major reasons I bought a Piper PA-38 Tomahawk instead of something like a Cessna 152 or 172. Likewise, I cover a few things about this particular PA-38, including a few facts that helped me decide on this plane.
