A little. I can only compare experinces to the skywagon which I have a whopping 5 hours in. No experiences in a PA18, Pilatus or J3. If there is a trim wheel, you can do such tiny changes. I have no problems trimming a cirrus, just saying that its not as fine of an adjustment compared to...

What most non cirrus pilots don't understand is that there is no trim tab that you control from the cockpit. The trim controls the main control surfaces. This is why it is a bit of a challenge to trim with the same refinements as in a 172 etc. this with the fact that the cirrus is very...

Yesterday flying my SR22 there was airmets posted for turbulence above 18K ft, but nothing forecast below 18K. I did notice a couple pireps at 3K and 8K an hour prior to flying that made me suspicious and expect the worse. In my 800 hours of flying so far, this was the most constant moderate+...

The reason I was told to say "Position Checks".. I usually do say it if I am IMC on departure. When IFR, it is an easy way to confirm that your instruments are reading correctly or they have something messed up. ex. They say "Radar contact 5 mi west of PIT at 5000" and my altimeter shows 200' or...

Awesome! I had no doubt you would be there quickly. You seem like a really sharp young man! Good luck!

Get the Cirrus and don't look back. Once you have the Cirrus, you will thank me, unless you need more seats. btw. Almost any make/model can eat a pocket book. I owned a Cessna that gobbled up $48K the first year I had it. So far with the SR22T Cirrus my costs have been "normal". There are lots...

Very nice airport. I have flown in there many times. Great fuel prices recently too. There is a great restaurant on the field as well. fyi, It's not at the Greenbrier resort, so plan on getting a rental car if you plan on going there.

I see.. I figured with the approvals going to mainly pilots, we may as well go after the commercial approval for these things and take advantage of it. If anyone has submitted such paperwork, I would really appreciate having someones homework to copy. :D

Would you be willing to send me a copy of your approved commercial use request paperwork? I want to get in on this stuff with my Phantom 3, but have no clue what to send in even after reading through all the BS on the FAA websites.

It was the hardest thing I ever did my entire life. The oral lasted 5 hours and the flight portion went on for another 4. only kidding.. While it was very challenging, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. It will be better than you think. Good luck!

I fly a FIKI ship, so I will fly through icing conditions, but I will not fly in icing conditions that are forecasting SLD or have tops higher than I feel comfortable with or that are reasonable to be at for the distance of the trip. There are some other factors.. Basically, I like to get in and...

I have absolutely no problem with this. God does amazing things for those that have faith.

Good job!
