Because you were inverted! Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Thanks all for the replys and suggestions. All good stuff. I'm gonna look through the logs to see when the last time some love was given to the struts. May be time for at a minimum a fluid change and also maybe seal replacement. Notably they dont leak down really so does that mean seals are...

Thanks that's great advice I'll look into that. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

I know it is kinda normal but is there anything that sticky struts indicates? Sometimes the things go down to within 1 inch of bottoming out and other times they stay 8 inches extended. Or anywhere in between. Kind of annoying when the plane sits in a 15 degree bank on the ramp! Is there...

They are just so backed up I'm trying to unclog thier workload by getting my plane out of there! Haha Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Hi! My plane has been undergoing an extensive annual. The shop that has been doing most of the work is nearing the end of their stuff, but I am going to have a more local shop finish the engine stuff that isnt particular to my aircraft type. So once the current shop is done, I will need a ferry...

Hi everyone. I am looking to plan a flight from Western North Carolina to somewhere warm (Florida most likely) and I'm wondering what you guys feel like is the best product for for weather planning? I am going to be able to fly IFR if necessary but the main point is that we want to go to...

Thanks for confirming that. I have looked through the flight manual and haven't found much regarding the subject. The next question might be if some portions are missing, I wonder how those could be replaced? Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

I can't find anything on the POH relating to fuel management regarding order of tank use. However, either I dreamed or have heard that it is preferable to burn out the inboard tanks first and then work on the tips, especially when loaded pretty heavy. Can anyone verify this for us. I am helping...

I personally think the hiring will continue for the foreseeable future, but anything can happen. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Yes he has his medical (3rd class but won't have any issues making it for a 1st). He actually flew some in high school (soloed a 172) but football season and covid and everything else kind of derailed his progress. He has 20 or so hours but at this point he considers himself a zero time pilot...

Thanks for the thoughtful write up. I should have mentioned that I am an airline pilot so the lingo makes sence to me but the training landscape has changed in the couple decades since I went through the process! Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Sorry yes I should be more specific. He will based in Salisbury. So ATP near CLT is a good option. I look forward to chatting with Blue Line Aviation. The Academy of Aviation in Gastonia has a few red flags but I haven't ruled them out completely. We figure anything within a couple hours of his...

I've never been accused of being overly fluent in English so let me think about it and see if I can write my question in an understandable way... Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

My 18yr old son wants to go to flight school. Interested in airline flying. Google keeps returning ATP (biggest marketing budget?) and that may be how he goes but I'm open to suggestions. Prefer NC or SC as he is in the NC National Guard and will have to return for monthly guard duties. Any...
