    Let's build a [Harmon] Rocket

    After a lot of conversations between us (@bijanmaleki and myself) and our good friends, we decided to build an airplane. Most of the discussions went like this (among all parties) "Let's just build what we want and be done with it" "No we can't build an airplane we don't time. It will never get...

    If it's broken may as well upgrade - A 310R upgrade story

    Long story short the 430 died in our Cessna 310R. Being the true frugal aircraft owners my husband and I are, we decided to forgo the logical thing (repairing the 430W) and instead do everything to it we wanted and needed (ADSB). This list: Garmin GTN750 + Flightstream Garmin GTX345 JPI 790...

    Two engines means more ways for students to scare you - An MEI write-up

    Let me preface this by saying I've been procrastinating getting this rating. I got my commercial multi over 3 years ago and I've been instructing almost 4 years. I've been "working" on it since May 2017 but just never had the time between full time job and owning a flight school which makes me...

    Is going for the Gold Seal worth it?

    CFIs who have their Gold Seal, is it worth it? I'm not a ground instructor... but if there was some sort of benefit I would get my AGI before I get the 8/10. My husband and I own a flight school, so no independent insurance to deal with. Having my AGI won't make me a better CFI, so what are the...

    Commercial single-engine add on syllabus

    Anyone have a good one that they use? Not that it matters, but this particular student is in our 172M. Or if no one has a syllabus, any tips for teaching this one? I've had commercial students, just no one adding single engine to a multi engine. Edit: Just saw this is another thread.. but I'm...

    CFI's - How are you handling UAS applicants?

    I got my first call today from a UAS applicant wanting the CFI sign-off in IACRA. How is everyone handling this, and what are you charging for it?

    Please! Help me lower my cable bill.

    So, the lovely Cox Communications has decided that since my "promotion" was over, they were going to raise my bill $50 a month. Yikes. I thought my "promotion" was over last year when they raised it $20... guess not! So I called them, talked to a nice guy who transferred me to some absolute...

    What would make you rent more?

    Example 1: Flight school posts on Facebook that today between 4pm and 8pm your favorite 172 is $20 off per hour. Would you jump at the opportunity for some spur of the moment flying? Example 2: Flight school has regular specials, a "Happy Hour" of sorts for flying. So if Tuesday mornings are...

    Have any CFI's tested the "new process" yet for TSA verification?

    I've got a handful of students who didn't (or couldn't due to timing) get their medical and student pilot cert prior to April 1st. I assume my student just makes an IACRA account, submits the stuff and then I have to "recommend" them from the FTN number? Anyone done this yet? If not I'll report...

    Foreflight logbook - currency tracker?

    I've started logging with foreflight (and paper) but it says in the currency boxes that I'm not current in anything. With what I've logged I should be shown as current for asel and night. As I add entries I'll be IFR current as well. But with what I've got so far I have at least 10 landings for...

    Let's talk about Wranglers - The Sequel

    This is Rubi. I ordered her back in July and she arrived two days ago. After just two days I'm enjoying her immensely and I've put over 100 miles on her. Aside from buying used vehicles from Hubbard Auto Center of Scottsdale, this has been my absolute best car buying experience ever. Huge props...

    Do you fly first class?

    when you must resort to the airlines, do you pay the extra for comfort and peace and quiet ? Or do you book main cabin and hope you can upgrade at the gate?

    Let's talk about Wranglers

    I'm getting ready to order a Wrangler. Well, I was ready to order one and then decided to wait a couple weeks to get a 2016. I have the big things decided on but have questions about the little things. Model: Unlimited (so 4 door)- Rubicon Color: Hydro Blue Pearl Coat, because everything...

    A CFI goes back to school

    About three weeks ago I started my tailwheel training. I'm flying a Supercub (well, 3 Supercubs) out of KCHD with the same flight school that has done most of my other ratings. I started documenting this on a less active forum, but I figured there are more people like myself here that can learn...

    The 6th Checkride: A multi-engine write-up

    Back in August my crazy self decided that I should get my multi. I knew of a guy with a Seneca II and since I really preferred not to fly a Seminole I went for it. I really wanted to find a 310 but that didn't happen. I flew a couple times and then the airplane was tied up for a bit with a...

    Seneca Information

    I'm looking for some good information on the Seneca II. I've been using the Rochester Air stuff but I feel like it's a little incomplete. I also had some good practice worksheets from RAC but many of the answers weren't available in their provided material :dunno: Any info would be greatly...
