Thank you all for you input! I talked to the Registry folks in Oak City, and they stated that the only way to do this is a bill of sale transfer to me the Member. They stressed some key points, but stated they simply did NOT need a dollar amount. MY only trick is IF necessary prove to California...

I need to re-register my Grumman this year. My problem was that I moved to California from Florida and had since dissolved my LLC (FL) which the aircraft was registered under. Is the registration process a simple name change? Or do I have to worry about putting my personal name under the...

Murphey, If you ever intended to teach private AND commercial ground courses I would suggest the AGI. Plus it is required if you were a CFI in order to obtain a gold seal. Just a bit of friendly advice. Cheers

A lot of good posts here. Flying in mostly congested airspace for a good chunk of my flying career has led me to keep it simple (KISS). "Miami departure, NXXXX, VFR Request". After the "Go-Ahead NXXXX I'll calmly, clearly, and just slow enough to understand "Miami departure, NXXXX, VFR, AA-5...

True for a lot of areas. Some do indeed have Alert areas marked for concentrated flight training (not just for military).That airspace covers a good part of the local practice areas but definitely not all.

No I am not spreading misinformation. It is not a marketing tool. This is reality. I am currently witnessing the ATP-R hiring right now, with several carriers. Envoy, Mesa, PSA, Piedmont, Republic, Silver, Go Jet. They are ALL hiring ATP-R's right now. People like my co-workers, former...

Caution....With the new ATP-R requirements: Part 61 is no longer coveted. My take...as a experienced CFI from a College based flight program I had students go all different directions after graduation (121, 91, 135)...and yes a good number of my students already have their bachelors (most are...

I am on the fence about this one, I would have definitely been a little more vocal, but then again I wouldn't have reported unless his actions caused MY failure. Lets start with Great DPE's. I had one as a mentor, senior pilot, and an Instructor. The guy was a fantastic gentlemen, prior...

McFly. I understand your concern with distractions for pilots, which is why these shouldn't be used to teach. I will fully accept your rationale on that. Will some pilots use this as a crutch? You bet. Just as some people buy the Cirrus thinking the Chute will save their bacon in situations...

I don't think this should be a debate on whether or not personally you will wear it. Clearly if you fly a cub or a basic VFR aircraft, your use for this technology is exceptionally limited. Whereas, if you fly in complicated airspace or in IMC conditions this may provide a SA edge from an...

As a CFI I spend the majority of my time with other pilots. Thats one excuse. The other....we pilots tend to be on the narcissistic side (almost all of us are...explain hangar flying if you don't agree). AS such...I like the think as a compensation pilots tend to feel more friendly if they...

They FINALLY integrated what I've (and a lot of others) have been asking for....flight tracking. This will be a huge benefit to me as a CFI! However.... I REALLY WISH they could allow other ADSB equipment other than their Stratus, I have a iLevel required for another piece of...

I'm a Beta tester as well... I'm crossing my fingers that this works out for the best, as early adopters (I like to think integrators) can be on the bleeding edge or feel its cutting edge. But for the most part I like to think the sunk costs are mainly in the equipment which should drive a...

Yes this is sad, but two in one day is sad in another way. This just makes me feel all sorts of anger, frustration, sadness, and angst towards these pilots. I know things sometimes happen beyond our control, but if this proves to be pilot error (and not just NTSB "pilot error") due to a lack of...

Does Dauntless have a gouge sheet? Thats the only reason I know why people go with Sheppard. Now their technique is supposed to be another, but I've been using that technique on my own for a few years and just never realized it. I would agree that Sheppard interface could use some work, but...

Weather Reports, Forecasts & Flight Planning by Terry Lankford. The book is a critical must read for those who want to decode (in plain language) the aviation products and gives great examples in each. I make it a mandatory read for my Aviation Weather students, and each of them have walked...

123.45 is used for our unofficial (yet officially two separate alert areas) practice area (used by 10-12 flight schools) in my neck of the woods because the FCC/FAA wont work together to keep our airspace clean from terrorist (aka mid air magnets). With that said, I have heard too much BS chit...

I wish they had that 10 years ago when I was doing a quick flight from KGEU to KFFZ. I had never been to that side of the valley, and had no idea I had to look for a big orange grove off the edge of the airport. Needless to say that Tower was not very happy with my lack of knowledge. Oh the...

Shane, I'll be the first to admit that there isn't a tiger owner out there that would say no to getting the tiger for the first aircraft. It's a very easy to fly, fast (for its class), easy to maintain aircraft (plenty of parts). I'd only suggest being a little more careful on landings as you...

I was at their family open house and got a personal tour of their Pensacola facilities and flight line in 2013 (My unit coworker at the time was a Navy commander who was good friends with the Ops CO) unfortunately not really impressed with the show. Thats a tough pill to swallow since I am a...
