Nope, and that was the point I was getting at, going that far is well beyond a normal preflight for almost any plane, but especially ones where to do so would require removing a cowling. That's not a preflight, that's maintenance. But having a flashlight and looking around in the cowling...

Isn't that kind of the entire point of this thread? Teaching proper practices is one thing, but keeping up those practices on your own when you're not in the presence of an instructor is altogether different. Every one of the students at the school I was teaching at was taught a proper...

Based on what evidence?

We get it, you don't like F1.

Estimate high so you have worst case numbers to work with.

That doesn't matter, I called up a few about 5 years ago when I was investigating doing 1-man 1-plane flight instruction. Told the 2-3 I talked to I was just researching, the plane I had in mind, my experience, etc. They were all great to work with and gave me reasonable estimates.

Well, that's good to know. Thanks.

Is that necessarily true since, as Half Fast said, that bell has already been rung? I guess I figured once it gets sent off as deferred there's no undoing it until I receive something from the FAA?

Yeah, it was mostly rhetorical. It does irritate me though because he mentioned something about a 14 day window he could work with, but I get back to the office and see that he'd transmitted it in MedXpress. Uh, thanks, I guess.

Well, looks like I'm finally going to have to do this. Went to renew my 2nd Class today and the doctor refused to approve it without a SODA. 5 or so years of 2nd class physicals plus a couple more 3rd class ones and he's the first AME to ever put his foot down and not do an alternate test of...

Ahh yes, the "we die like men" lap belts.

$69,500 doesn't seem like a bad price at all without opening the ad. *ETA: Oooo, with a 470 upgrade. That would be sporty.

Glad to hear it, heading down there next summer to knock out the single and multi combined program.

I received a survey after Reno asking pretty much exactly those types of questions.

Yeah that was kind of my first thought on it, too. A couple on that list seem to be thrown in as filler options, with 2 or maybe 3 real choices.

The airspace around Wendover could be an issue, though.

I don't know, all have pros and cons from my quick run down the list. If I were choosing I'd probably go with Roswell.

Casper, Wyoming Buckeye, Arizona Pueblo, Colorado Roswell, New Mexico Thermal, California Wendover, Utah

There seems to be some ironic life symmetry using a tube sock to disperse someone's remains...

That should have been way more apparent and I feel dumb for missing it :oops:
