I bought a Dual 160 a year ago. It worked fine until September. We have been having constant problems with it since. In fact we have stopped using it altogether.

Almost everyone.

Did you live in base?

Its called sitting reserve. Its the very bottom. Be careful for what you wish for. Sorry, actually sitting ready reserve at the airport is the worst of it. Sitting ready reserve for 8 hours then not flying at all. is just complete boredom.

You may also want to start doing a post flight check as well.

Sounds like something a professor would come up with. In reality all people do is figure out how to game the system.

It actually wouldn't. The 172 is a less stable platform. Develop the skill sets then transition. Its done all the time. Its the same as incorporating a sim in the training then using the airplane.

Start in the 172. Finish in the Arrow once you are proficient.

Like this one?

New job time. It's the easiest fix. On his way out he could take the 141 certificate off the wall, go to the FSDO and surrender it.

What FAR Part is he operating under?

They are two different things for us. FMS nav is just flying waypoints (Blue needles). When it gets down to it they are all coded Lat/Long positions. if we want to fly it in raw data off the LOC (Green needle) that can be done too. however they are two entirely different platforms.

Ask the FSDO about their maintenance.

What are you looking to do?

Grand Case has airline service now. its a little busier. Way better choice than the big airport.
