    Multi Engine Time Building

    There is literally 1 multi in all of Tulsa that is used for instructing (not Part 141). So there isn't much opportunity for multi instructing. If you add OKC in the mix, you get 2 planes total lol Just trying to see if anyone knows of anyone or a plane that is slightly more reliable than the...

    Multi Engine Time Building

    Hi all, I'm located in Tulsa, OK. I have my Commercial Multi but need to build about 30 more hours of multi time to get to a job I'm wanting. I know Lease a Plane at KRVS has a seminole and I've flown it a couple hours. With an instructor, it is about $350 an hour. They won't let you rent it...

    First Time Airplane Buyer....maybe

    Hey all, thanks a ton for the insight into my original post. Obviously the whole thing depends on my mission. I would like a 4 seater but then I end up thinking that a lot of 4 seaters out there aren't really true 4 seaters (sacrifice gas, bags etc.). A couple people mentioned their RV and I...

    First Time Airplane Buyer....maybe

    Great webpage there. I'll spend some time on it. Yeah he did my flight review, it was late so I had to leave. He flew it to KRVS which is where I had my flight review but I didn't have the chance to see it in person. Next time!

    First Time Airplane Buyer....maybe

    Wow! Great replies guys. Already some good food for thought. @eman1200 I have quickly realized that Mooneys are pretty awesome...speed, fuel efficiency etc compared to others. I'm new to the game though so we'll see! I also can understand getting the HP and complex. It doesn't seem like that...

    First Time Airplane Buyer....maybe

    I'm wondering what a good first airplane would be for the following pilot? Or if I should even buy right now. -110 hours Total Time (and on the rise) -ASEL PPL -Plans to do instrument rating in the future -Weekend day/overnight trips/casual weekday flying -Based out of KRVS (Tulsa, Oklahoma) so...

    Sentry Mini or Bad Elf?

    I recently just completed my Flight Review after not flying for 6 years. I'm so happy to be back in the skies and loving all of the new technology out there. Especially Foreflight. My set up right now consists of: Iphone Xs on a RAM suction cup mount on the left side of the dash (C172). I...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I looked up Sentry unit and noticed they actually make a $200 unit called "Scout". Not as many features as the full blown Sentry, or even middle of the road sentry mini but for $200, could be a nice addition to get ADSB in. Again, I appreciate the thoughts on this. A lot of different routes to...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I'm located in Tulsa....the heat sucks. I can remember sweating through my entire shirt before even getting off the runway a few Summers ago. I really just need to go take a look at the planes in person to see what they've got (USB/Transponders etc.). But now I know what to look for. Thanks!

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    Hey everyone! Learning a ton here. Thanks a lot. I may try out my iphone Xs on a suction cup during my Flight Review (BFR?.. :) ) next week to see how it goes. Then if I really can't see anything, I'll upgrade in size. A friend of mine has yoke mount and likes it but I haven't tried it...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I've got an iphone so I was considering keeping all of my devices on the same platform. But if I'm only using a tablet in the cockpit, I wouldn't mind jumping to android. Standard internal GPS sounds nice!

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    Let me make sure I understand this properly. If I got an ipad with Wifi only, I would have to make sure it could connect with my transponder in order to get the traffic/weather etc. The cellular option only benefits those that want cellular data outside of the cockpit? If my transponder/GPS...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm actually surprised that the majority of folks are using the larger sized ipads versus the mini. I had made the assumption that the mini would probably win. Do you all have data on the ipad? Or is it just a wifi ipad? I'm trying to figure out what data...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I'm worried it would hit the yoke at maximum deflection. Ever have that problem? I've got a notepad for pen and paper on my kneeboard but I think it's thinner than an iPad would be. Just thinking out loud.

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I'm getting back into flying (I've had my PPL for about 10 years) more regularly now and I'm new to Foreflight. WOW is all I have to say. I don't have an iPad (yet) but was curious what the consensus was on the iPad mini? Specifically one with data or is data not necessary? My situation: I'm an...
