Everskyward: Does you buddy fly single engine stuff or jets? i'm just nervous that smaller aircraft might be too loud for the QC2's to handle. Thanks for the reply though.

I've been looking at getting another headset (i currently have the bose X) and i was looking at getting the ufly mike (http://uflymike.com/). I'm wondering how well these would work in something like a C152 for flight training? Does anyone have any experience with them? Thanks for the help.

I take reaponability for the "ratings". Meant endorsement but didn't realize what I had done till someone pointed it out to me. Then I really felt smart...

The way it was explained to me is that it was easier to do your CFI after you already had you CFII. If you look at page 1-xi of the flight instructor pts under "IA" and area operations II and III, only C and D were required but with change 5 of the PTS Area of operation II is now "starred"...

The time saving is nice... and it's hard to get an IACRA application(is that the right word there?) wrong. The problem is that i have my permanent address as back home (i'm at school) and my parents have the mail forwarding to them at their other place. So i'm going to school in Tulsa OK...

my bad

I'm fairly sure it's the longer fuselage. I have had people in the back and they are comfortable... or as comfortable as you can be in the back of a small 4 place plane ;) I was looking at the W&B charts of this "Charger" and i put myself, 3 other passengers at 180lbs, full fuel and 120lbs of...

How do i know if it's the long fuselage or not? I do not know much about the PA-28's and am learning as much as i can. It does have the Hershey bar wing and the o-540 at 235 (of course). Thanks.

Here i am always talking about using the proper phrases and terms for things... blew that one! When I read this I though, "really?" I re-read my post and I was amazed how badly a screwed that one up! haha. Thanks for the correction, greatly appreciated! Oh and thanks for the other tips too ;)

Joel: you did your CFII initial on IACRA? I called the help hotline and they said i couldn't.... interesting. (this isn't the first time I've heard of something like this) I do have my temp so i'm holding onto that.

i'm graduating from a part 141 school on monday and they do things a little backwards here... In this program they suggest you get your CFII as your initial instructor cert and then do the CFI as the add on. I filled out the 8710 (IACRA still doesn't accept applications for the CFII as the...

I'm surprised no one has said anything about the FAA published (or faa material published by asa) books. I graduated from a part 141 school and thoe books were about all we used. I'm not saying those other books aren't good (I have yet to read most of them) but i figure if you're going to take a...

I've spent time in an IAR-823 and that's weird. a four place aerobatic plane. I've spent lots of time in a Yak-52 and that's much better ;)

I saw this posted in another thread in this forums. It would be really nice if we had things like this for the additional ratings. Clay: Thanks for the tips. I'm flying a 1973 Cherokee (or Charger or Dakota, i've heard everyone call it something different. the weight and balance info has it...

I'm a newly minted CFI and a lot of my buddies now want their high performance and tail dragger ratings. I don't have access to a TW airplane but i do have access to a HP plane. Where i run into issues is that i've grown up flying with my dad in a C210 so high performance planes aren't...
