    What's Lowest Cost Plane to Book Hours In?

    What are the best websites/sources for the used planes...any kind of interesting small craft/small plane...and/or all of the cheapies? Okay, so building is out. :idea: So what's the rule on doing my own maintenance? Line up an A&P to sign off on everything I guess? How much time and money...

    What's Lowest Cost Plane to Book Hours In?

    I'm thinking the unbuilt kind that they ship to you. I wonder about experimental too though. And I'm great with auto and equipment mechanics. I was an tree climb/arborist contractor company owner/op. Working on all of the engines in all of the rigs and equipment was half the battle. I...

    What's Lowest Cost Plane to Book Hours In?

    I've been looking around researching for well over 100 hours now. I find side ideas here and there, and I found where one trainee bought a kit for $18,000 to get the training in. That's 180x flight hours worth to me. I realize there's storage, maintenance, insurance etc to add on, but here's...

    What are the MUST HAVE Books to Train???

    Yeap, while Bo Sox is the ideal way, but I'm interested in the matrices of this field. I want to know what the pros know...and just all of the technologies, physics, maneuvers, procedures, common plane types. To know all of that dump I gotta know all of the words, so the book, eh. And I gotta...

    Lotta people have found that even if the higher pay and benefit incentive they still won't perform. I almost am going to bet you might be in CA.

    What are the MUST HAVE Books to Train???

    Wacha got there? Are you a collector of script and quotes? Hehe. :biggrin: I assume you being a sport pilot you're in the AAA league so to speak. Do you need to keep up with the new concepts and trends to stay at the forefront of the field sort of like doctors and techies?

    What's the Inside of the Tower Look Like?

    That video helps a lot. I need to know that. As far as more mistakes by ATC these days, you don't think that it's a matter of the airspace being more filled with planes than ever in history complicating the job, or maybe the brains are getting too weak because new ideals and habits such as...

    What are the MUST HAVE Books to Train???

    Which books do you stress for trainees based on your experiences as a new pilot and based on what you see in the field out of other new pilots?

    What's the Inside of the Tower Look Like?

    Yeah, ATC looks like an alright gig, but FAA blocks out any newbs from beginning the training after 30. Makes sense to me though. Based on how it looks on the youtube videos, ATC is expected to be like all knowing geniuses with perfect memory. I haven't seen any slip up yet though, so...

    What's Best, Cheapest Way Reach Lic. & Quals??

    Okay, I like your advice. I usually like the advice from the pros here. I think that when there reality of SHTF in a real plane should cause some adaptable re-learning processes...if a new pilot is not physically a bum. Lot of people are sedentary, so that qualifies lots for that level. I'm...
