Took it 3 months ago....nothing like that in there! M

Glad it was him making those calls....and not me during my training and I will certainly keep that in my thoughts. I like staying and logging the most IFR anyhow! Thanks for sharing Ron what was certainly a direct cross of what my old CFII taught me! M

4. Declare Min fuel.....my old CFII always used this in the Orlando area...and bam...we never got re-routed....EVER! M

We in the "INDY" area get 15 min max.....from the airport I fly out of KMQJ M

Hmmmm...you in the club there with Ron? I live 1/2 mile from the end of 30 Mike

Wow....I only take a 2 way trans w/ Nav capability, flashlight and cell phones. I'm feeling a bit left out here. I just wonder in a crash and post crash possible fire how much of this gear you could use unless it was on your person??

I have about 75 hours in an M20B ...and 4 hours in a M20J with the Missle conversion on it. I flew out of a grass runway with the Mooney and always got the same response....more so because it was the 180 with a 2 blade long prop vs the 3 blade which gave more clearance. It was a blast and I...

Finish up my Comm rating and also get the multi add on. I've got the written done...just need to get focused an study study for the oral and practice the puppet moves! M

Yeah...that's what I do...although I'm not an instructor, it certainly helps anyone when you get help from someone that is not charing by the hour!! Flight sim has came a long way...it's just a shame that it takes $2500-$3000 computer to run it well enough you can maintain really good frame...

Although...for the record....I can't pass the IR checkride on the game. I'm not sure it's possible to be quite frank. I've tried at least 4 times and after you go missed the VOR and the ADF don't agree and it fails you on the missed w/ hold...grrr. I am a private pilot on the game LOL. M

Tim I seen you don some work on it as well on your web site. I run dual 22" LCD monitors and have 3 computers networked together to run it. I run mine set up with the CH PRO Yoke, Pedals and have the multi throttle quad for the Baron 58 while I track "when working with other pilots" on the...

I cannot express enough how important to me having a good PC "that will run it properly" is and a current verious of Flight sim X w/ SP 2 and or a slightly older version. Clearly you need the yokes, pedals etc to make it realistic but talk about making you stay sharp. I have about 15-20...

Gleim books can easily have you ready in a weekend or slightly over. M

Nope...wish I owned my own. I would like to pick up a Mooney M20J or newer and or a Baron 58 would also be nice !

Linda, Nope can't say that I do know Rick. I moved to Orlando for 10 years and just moved back up here not to long ago so it's taking me a bit to get situated again. I did live here all my life however. M
