I keep hearing people tell me that the minimum required hours for the Commercial Gyro Add-On is 25 hours. Yet when I look at the regs, it looks like it is actually 30. Am I missing something?

Decided since I was doing the ASES and Glider, might as well do the AMES while I’m at it. There aren’t many options in the country to do the AMES. I came across Chester Lawson and his Grumman Widgeon(h2oflight.com) and thought that seemed like kind of a unique airplane to do it in so I sent him...

Decided to do this based on LDJones recommendation, their location, and the fact I could knock out the seaplane rating all in one trip. Tried to do it Mar. 15 but that is when they have their annual senior racing championship and the whole glider port is devoted to that for a week. Plus, I went...

Just finished up the commercial seaplane course at Jack Browns and thought I would do a write-up on it. Wanted to go down to do the commercial glider add-on and realized Winter Haven was not too far out of the way to do the commercial sea and at $1,400 for the whole course, not that bad of a...

Looks like the FAA is changing it a tad to put it more in line with the DOD "IFR Supplement" and changing the name to "Chart Supplement" https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/safety_alerts/media/CS_16-02_CN_IACC8_Title_Change.pdf...

http://hiltonsoftware.com/cfi/ For those CFIs on the board here you go. I emailed them asking about military and if you email them at: military@hiltonsoftware.com from a .mil email(or provide some other proof such as a scanned ID card, etc.) and let them know what personal email account you...

Anyone know what plane this is?

Little old but hadn't seen it posted yet. http://www.wkyt.com/home/headlines/Plane-crashes-at-Georgetown-Scott-County-Airport--320401302.html

Lets say I get certed as a military instructor, take the Mil Comp Instructor written, take the AGI & IGI ground instructor writtens, then do the ATP practical. Could I furnish all the documents to the DPE and get all of those on one 8710 or would I have to complete a separate 8710 for each one?

Haven't been able to find the exact wording on this. Say you are getting vectored for the ILS 21 into Altoona(KAOO) and the Outer Marker is out of service. Can you still legally shoot the approach? You don't have GPS.

Well the road are supposedly too bad to get to base. Looks like I'll be making a huge pancake breakfast and day drinking!

So when delivering a KC-10 to get upgraded in the middle of the country, we had to airline it back to base. While sitting waiting for the flight we decided to grab lunch in the terminal. In front of us were two rather large regional airline pilots. You could tell they were regional from their...

Since a good amount of people on here own their own airplanes, I assume a lot of people on here are in positions to hire people or in a position which could possibly require a masters degree. The Air Force will pay for a large majority of my masters degree. Problem is I am not sure what I...

Just moved into a new place in the city and my room has a sliding glass door that leads to a deck. Problem is, the interstate is about a block away and it is rather loud at night. Any tips and tricks to dampen outside noise? Think thick acoustic curtains will help?

Looking to just add the rating. Anyone know of how to do this without getting hired by Goodyear? Been looking online with no luck.

Planning on buying a new car when I get home from this deployment. Kinda narrowed it down to the Honda Accord EX-L and the Mazda 6 Grand Touring. Anyone have any info on the Mazda 6 specifically? Mom has an Accord and loves it. Don't know of anyone that has the Mazda 6. Basically curious on...

I know there are a few glider pilots on here and I've always wanted to get the commercial glider added on. I was wondering if anyone knew of any reputable place to do an accelerated commercial add-on course(4-7 days roughly)? As far as previous experience I have about 11 flights and one solo...

Anyone have any good recommendations on where to go to do the ATP in a weekend? Prefer east coast area. Written is done.
