My impression of the Warrior versus the 172 is that the Warrior feels more "stable" during flight, but also a bit heavier in turns. I also find the Warrior easier to land, but I don't do it any differently than the Cessna. Just stare down the end of the runway and hold it off as long as...

I will admit though, when I first started learning to fly, I was surprised by what I perceived to be a laissez faire attitude to the whole thing. Namely what I thought was a lack of security at certain FBO's (especially at uncontrolled airports), and the ability to pretty much fly wherever you'd...

Thanks guys. All good candidates for sure. I guess my worry is that I'll spend all this time and money on a dispatcher license, only to never be able to put it to good use. I imagine airline dispatch jobs are highly competitive? I'm guessing I'd most likely only be able to start at small...

Usually people don't ask me about flying questions. Then again, I usually don't bring it up, because I often fear having to answer such bizarre questions (I'm horrible at explaining things, otherwise I'd be a flight instructor). Where I used to work, the questions I would normally get from my...

Does anyone have any knowledge in this field? I've been toying with the thought of getting a dispatch certificate, but I've always wondered where would be the best place to get a certificate. It would be something I'd prefer to get in six weeks or less for as low a price as possible...

That is true, but nowadays it's easier than ever to make a website through things like WordPress or whatnot. It doesn't need to be like the BMW website, but as long as all the information is there, it could go a long way. I work part time at a marketing firm. Plenty of small local business...

GA has Marketing/Customer Service Issues Something I've noticed over the past few years is that many flight schools, FBO's and aircraft rental businesses do a poor job with marketing and fostering good customer service. I'm not talking so much that the people who run these businesses are...

Haha yes, I would like to buy a plane. Unfortunately it's not a practical objective at the moment. But if I were to purchase an aircraft, I think I'd rather have the capability to carry a second passenger. With that said, the DA-20 looks very cool and I would love to try flying one sometime soon.

It's simply the only plane available for rent. So I figured I may as well get checked out in it and ask the instructor any specific questions pertaining to that exact aircraft. There used to be a Warrior which I found to be quite a great airplane, but that has since been given away to people at...

Heh, was wondering the same thing when I saw that episode. Only saw a couple episodes. There are so many laughable aspects, but I enjoy seeing the airplanes. Not sure if this was mentioned in the thread yet, but I remember one episode where the repo guys were in a float plane cessna "tracking"...

Just figured I would follow up on this thread. I finally got checked out in the Tomahawk today. Honestly, I wasn't hugely impressed with the aircraft. It was okay, but I don't see it being too useful for me. The instructor was saying at my weight, I probably couldn't carry a passenger greater...

So they say :P Honestly though, I'm sure if you fly conservatively they aren't much more unsafe than any other GA aircraft. Thanks flyingron for that info. I just forsee a situation where I want to carry another, heavier passenger only to see that the tanks are completely full. It would...

I plan on getting checked out in a Piper Tomahawk in the near future - but as I don't have access to the exact specifications right now, I figure I would just check in on some general figures for now. Can anyone who has ever flown a Tomahawk attest to it's useful load? It's my understanding...

Thanks all :) I think Brad may be right. I should've tried calling them on their other frequency too. Perhaps next time I'll see if I have the same issue.

Hi all, First post, but I've been lurking for a while. I'm private pilot who a few days ago rented a plane to fly south along the New Jersey coast. My plan was to fly past Atlantic City for some brief sightseeing, and then head north. The outer-shelf of ACY is 1,300 I think. I was flying...
