That is not entirely true. PBI is still open to GA, and doesn't have to be IFR. In fact, I just flew into PBI VFR under 91 on Saturday after pre-clearing at a gateway airport. Operations at SUA are normal, and F45 with a little planning and getting a code. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's exactly what happened on 9/11. Just a routine shopping trip and not a mobile command post for the CiC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another dirty secret of the industry is how the training budget is spent. This example is not the norm but still goes on. Generally the management company for the aircraft charges the owner for crew salaries and annual sim school. Then some operators have been known to skim on training (elect...

Earlier you posted that you have 26 days off a month, so depending on which month of the year you are only flying 2-5 days a month and also said that you have a couple hundred hours of Falcon time (which must be SIC). Given the limited days you work, in order to get those kind of hours you...

Do not use your company's non-rev privileges to ferry airplanes. You will jeopardize those privileges for everyone else at your company. Some airlines are tracking non-revs and where they go because of abusers

It has been a few years since I was involved in this, but a complete tear down may not be required. If I recall correctly, and if it hasn't changed, the accessory gears are magnafluxed and that satisfies the tear down requirement on the smaller Lycomings. Take a look into that. I could be...

Something isn't right here. How are you flying a large cabin jet and have such a deficiency on the understanding of the ATP/ type rating process?

Greater than 250 below 10,000 is approved if more than 12nm off shore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly. Nor has any pilot over primed an airplane with the accelerator pump to the point it leaks on the nose wheel pant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If anyone is considering an external ADS-B receiver - research Stratux (yes, stratus with an X instead of S). You'll save several hundred dollars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wear what you feel comfortable in. Unless your school/ rental facility has a dress code. Be ready for every possible opinion. Shorts, pants, slacks, dress for survival.... Personally when I fly for fun it is t-shirt and shorts, unless it has a shoulder harness, then a polo shirt because I...

If you're thinking about parachutes - Citabria, Pitts or Extra. You'll have two 'chutes, more fun and plenty of money left over for 100LL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most of the professional pilot population has worked at an FBO when they were a student pilot, myself included. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can do low approaches all you want, with permission from the tower. Just like any other C or D facility. However if you want to touch the ground, you should research this subject: civil aircraft landing permit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Aerobatic training in MD? Search the IAC website for schools that suite your location.

Ferry pilots do his all the time. Single engine airplanes got to where they are some how. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You may not want to associate 91 & charter the same sentence. Illegal charters are a serious problem in the industry and you don't want to be caught up in that. Just call it 91 flying, it'll save you some heat later.

Never flown with him, but I have talked to him several times over the years at OSH. Really cool guy. If I remember correctly he doesn't charge by the hour, he charges by the lesson. In his words "If I see a fire and want to go check it out, I'm paying for it instead of the student watching the...

Repair stations are shying away from IRANs when the propeller has exceeded TBO times. It is purely a liability standpoint. More propellers and components are scrapped because of corrosion than dimensionally being under limits. Corrosion never sleeps and the propeller has places that can't be...

We airline up from S Florida into MKE and then drive up. Easy drive. Our routine is to rent a house from a local, and then split it with other friends as they come and go for the week. The house is $300 a night and has four bedrooms plus a furnished basement. Much better situation than the...
