None. Zero issues with SP. have actually recommended it for people. Issues I have is if you actually have to get somewhere with a decent distance on some sort of schedule. If it’s always - I can go whenever and it’s on vacation with wide scheduling days - then sure. If it’s in trying to be...

And my experience of what some self proclaimed competent vfr pilot who espouses being restricted to vfr flying is the same as ifr is a poor judge of what a competent pilot can accomplish.

and having flown extensively cross country - i pretty much ALWAYS file IFR. And you can define all the parameters you want - but having a FIKI, radar equipped plane, and flying IFR makes you a safer, more aware pilot. I do have FIKI and I do have radar onboard (actually have had radar and...

you are no longer SP at that point. You have transitioned. No doubt that you can - but just as a sport pilot - its a dead end. No other ratings are possible. That statement still stands. Otherwise, based on that - everyone should start as a SP, and guess what - ATP and the airlines is...

Absolutely. But most private pilots aren’t trying to go 500+ nm either. But the key differentiating factor - private you can get your instrument. With sport - you cannot. Dead end

Again no relevance if you can’t get instrument. If you need to get anywhere or back over such a long distance - you’re much better off with instrument

Sport pilot is great for flying. But I wouldn’t rely on it for traveling on any sort of schedule. It would be great to go cross country without a schedule on your own time. But if you need to get anywhere - sport pilot is a bad idea - even with mosaic since you can’t get to instrument

It’s not just a medical - it sounds like you may be trying to get employment later. Just be aware that any potential future employers may have an issue hiring you with said record - particularly the assault charge.

And if you do - you might get convected of assult for hitting the misdemenror….

exactly. . sort of. You can do everything but those in a simulator. And then do those in the actual plane to satisfy the IPC. So you dont have to do the actual engine cut off in a plane that really doenst tolerate it. The BFR has other things. But I /think/ that a type rating all done in a...

sort of - but yes. You can do your BFR (or whatever it is called) and/or an IPC in an approved AATD. so yes, you will need to do the engine out exercises, but can be done in a simulator. For some planes (namely the GTSIO 421's) - insurance doesnt require or mandate in - plane initial or...

I try and do an IPC regularly, regardless of 6 months or not. Sometimes insurance requires it as well. The issue is that the IPC on a multi-engine frequently involves engine out exercises. . and I seriously prefer never to cut an engine on say a 421 unless you absolutely have to. So thats...

"misdemeanor" "assault" "conviction" how many times can you misspell the same words in different ways over and over again ? I mean you cant even blame it on auto-correct. . .

That’s funny. BYD is killing the market there. They lead the ev market and their cars are built really good. I believe they outsell Tesla in china. Even musk made a comment that their cars are really good after years ago downplaying them. Probably because he is being passed. You want...

Great. So you want to use the fars. Ok. Let’s do that then. The medical stuff is also coded in the data and by extension all their decisions trees and what they and us can and can’t do. So we are back at square one - and you accept what has been codified already :)

I think that everyone who is stuck in some limbo always points out - but there could be drunks/drug/mental health etc etc who aren’t caught that have a medical. And it’s like - oh so not fair. The faa’s goal is to be a front line block and then gradually work on weeding out the rest. There...

I’m Because - even previous doctors have said - they don’t handle any of the aviation related complications with said medical conditions. They sign off on general ability to function in society. Not at flying, scuba or whatever other activities. even better question - why are pilots who...

No. Somebody with prostate cancer doesn’t believe it should ground them. Exactly what the other poster said. You don’t believe it should - just like everyone else. I mean the bipolar people don’t believe they should be grounded either. Nor a bunch of others. Cancer in general is a...

this is the best line….. and so true. Lol

I wouldnt put them in the same category. the PC-12 is anywhere fro 8 to 11 pax. The vision jet - is max 6. PC-12 is a cabin class plane, whereas the vision jet isnt really (there is a tiny aisle but its not really a cabin class). the closer competitors to the Vision Jet would be a Piper...
