Has anyone gone thru ATP's CFI program? If so what do you think of it? Thankls chuck

Hello, anyone here own or even flown a Navion Range master? I have been looking online at several, but have yet to fly one or talk to anyone that has. I am hoping to buy an aircraft within the next six months and seeing as I cannot afford a Piper Matrix! (LOL). I have to scale down. Thanks Chuck

mmmmmm I am going to go humbly back to my little corner and keep quiet, I am amazed that one question created such a ruckus. Just for my own defense, in reading all avaliable books that I have to include the FAR's I had concluded that a MP gauage was required to operate an aircraft with a...

Okay porably a real stupid question here, I went out to practice for my CFI checkride the other day. Climbed in the FBO Arrow preflight, taxi and runup all okay. Just after takeoff at about 400' I looked down MP shows 12" ! Okay oil presure okay, oil temp okay mmmmm I elected to do an...

Did I mention that there was three women, a redhead, burnette, and a blonde! As much as I tried they want to get home rather than stay! I told ya all I had was bad luck that day! Chuck

Ahhh BVY is good, but I was stuck in NY at 5B2 but must say they all went above and beyond to help us. I cannot say enough good things about them!

Well after the weather here in New England has finally settled down I have begun in earnest on working on my CFI. I passed the FOI written and am now preping for the CFI-A written, I am amazed at all the informantion I had stored away in the back of the old brain, however geting it back to the...

Thanks everyone for their great input, it will all come to use. Agian Thanks Chuck

Well folks after a lot of thought I have decided at the ripe old age of 52 to get my CFI, and pass on what little knowldge I have gained over the past few years onto others. My biggest challange thus far is staying awake in order to read the instructor handbook for the FOI portion of the...

Hello all: Not sure if this fits in here but here I go anyway. I filed a VFR flight plan via DUAT from my home base of Bedford, MA (KBED) to Northhampton, MA. and return. Off I go get airborne and open my flight plan with Bridgeport, CT FSS. The FSS specialist has me on a round robin Bedford...

Hi Chuck, Chuck here as well. I had prosate CA last year, I was diagnosed on July 5, 2007 just before I was suppose to deploy to Afganistan. Short story I had a prosctomy in Sept 10,2008, and last PSA done in Dec 2007 which was 0.01. In July 2008 I went to have my 2nd class redone, I brought...

Kath: When I did my checkride we departed Bedford BED flew the ILS 5 to LWM go out and do the full approach to VOR 23 LWM and a coupled approach back to BED. The hard part of the approach is remebering that the MAP is 3.9 DME from the VOR. BTW when I flew with Ray doing my ME he had me do...
