Hi all, I haven't posted here in a long time, please forgive. Too much worky work. I'm working toward a CFI, and I'm thinking about lessons plans and training sessions and all such things. For my personal edification, nothing else, I'm interesting in learning about gaps between curriculum...

This afternoon in North Texas the weather cleared up. I had planned to fly but all my usual flying partners were out of pocket so I went alone. I'm about 18 hours into instrument training, but haven't done any simulatated instrument time in a couple of months. So, I got on Center's frequency...

Tonight I'm on the road in yet another Hampton Inn. I was working a little while ago and I thought, "I should take some time to study for my instrument written". Then I thought, "I don't have to because I passed it this morning!" :yes: Got a 100 after never getting a perfect score on any...

I had a flight in a Cirrus SR22 the other day. I didn't know what to expect from the airplane. It was a dream machine. Fast. Stable. Easy to handle. The avionics were all an instrument pilot could ask for. The autopilot flew an ILS right down to DH. I would have bought the airplane on...

Has anyone flown one? Do you have a critique? Thanks! Lisa

Here's a not-your-normal path to Rome: What would you think about a pretty busy businessman getting a private in a high performance, complex single. The training would consist of lots of logged cross country hours (for business), followed by short, intense training sessions patterned after...

Short survey, si vu ple. 1. How would you, in your words, describe your expectation regarding Radar Traffic Information Service (AIM, 4-1-14)? 2. What is your experience with same? Anecdotes welcome. 3. What is your expectation regarding Safety Alerts (AIM, 4-1-15)? 4. What is...

Haven't been to the forums for awhile - I was stingy and wouldn't spend my money this summer to fly in the Texas heat. But I got a card in the mail a couple weeks ago - an answer to an unspoken desire - one of my local FBOs acquired a DA40. I've flown the model twice and loved it. So off I...

Wouldn't the price an airplane sold for be a matter of public record? Does anyone know of an Internet resource where this info can be obtained? Thanks! Lisa

I was wondering if anyone is based in the Anchorage area, and if so, if you would be interested in taking a couple of fellow pilots up. Looking at the evening of either July 18th or 19th. You fly, we'll buy. Fly maybe an hour or two, depending on airplane cost? Anyone interested? Lisa

If you have an interest, check out an unusually candid report on New York TRACON at www.faa.gov

I'm trying to plan and weigh options for the path to an instrument ticket. Specifically, what I'd like to ask is how each of you built your simulated/actual time, e.g., flight instuction for the whole 40 hours or only for 15 and safety pilot for the rest, or somewhere in between. How much...

Here's what happened to me this morning: I'm in Durango, CO for a few days and I decided ahead of time to give myself a birthday present of flying for an hour while up here. I called ahead and reserved a C182 with CFI for this morning. Was sweating out the weather - threatening snow - but this...
