    Airplane Partnership Agreement

    The LLC applied for and received a credit card account. We issued each member (originally 3, but now 2) a copy of the card. When we buy gas or airplane related supplied we pay with the LLC credit card. When the bill comes we pay it from our LLC checking account. He and I each pay a monthly...

    Flying to Mexico... For a girl. Is it legal to bring her back?

    Six pages and no one has commented on Sac Arrow "routinely" running into problems procuring visas for southeast asians? ;)

    can I log solo time with another pilot in the cockpit?

    You could share the rental cost of the plane, but you won't be able to log time. Here is a good article on the topic: https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/learn-to-fly/legacy-pages/aviation-subject-report-logging-pilot-in-command-pic-time

    How do you fund your flying "hobby"?

    No debt. Good job. Modest but paid for house. No children. No ex-wives. The girlfriend has her own career and pays her own expenses. I share a 182 with a great partner (not the girlfriend).

    Adding bulk time entries in paper logbook

    Ok, what am I missing here? Why not just make a printout from the electronic logbook? eta: I use an old school written logbook and duplicate my entries in an excel spreadsheet.

    Questions on Migrating to new Desktop PC

    Yes, but. All your software will be on the drive you transplanted but it won't be installed and runnable (assuming you install a fresh OS on your new SSD). The installer sets up registers entries, dll's, etc that are necessary for most programs to run. Now if you just want to clone the drive...

    Airplane Partnership Agreement

    We each own 50% of an LLC which owns the plane. We split fixed costs (maint, upgrades, hangar, insurance, annuals, etc) and charge ourselves an hourly wet fee. Fuel is paid for on a credit card billed to the LLC. This agreement works well for us. I like that we don't have to worry about...

    NA IT tech check

    I would not expose a Windows system to the Internet. As suggested above, a router, openvpn on a raspberry pi, etc would be a better choice. You will need to forward a port from your router (udp 1194 is common), but should forward it to a device that is designed to be internet facing. In lieu...
