I remember my first. I was sweating bullets. Congratulations flight instructor!

This man speaks the truth. Several of my ground school class had 250-350 TT. Just be prepared to work for peanuts until your TT gets a bit higher.

Really? Those time/fuel/distance charts are usually pretty accurate. The time portion of the chart tells you how much time you will spend in the climb, the fuel burned during the climb, and the distance is used to calculate your true airspeed. (Distance / Time) * 60 = Climb TAS Use climb...

Don't try to extract meaning from what is written. Landing at other than departure is definition of cross country.

I don't see how his logging of all 7 hours is any different than taking off, flying to an airport x NM away and doing a bunch of touch and goes, eating a burger, and flying back. http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=e9893c379833b942cab852f3a43b2d30&mc=true&node=se14.2.61_11&rgn=div8...

Depends if I was working or not and if it was my plane or not :D

Stick your fist on the dash. Horizon on top of the fist is straight and level with 2200 RPM in a 172. Put the horizon at 2 fists and that is a descent attitude at about 500-700 FPS with 1700 RPM, 85-90 kts. Horizon on top of the dash, full power, 500-900 FPS (altitude dependent) climb. Human...

Only for G. Day, 1SM clear of clouds below 1200, above 1200 1 SM 500 below, 1000 above, 2000 horizontal. G night, 3SM 500 below, 1000 above, 2000 horizontal. You just have to remember them, but I use 1 SM day, 3 sm night. Above 1200 during day, it is normal distances (normal being 152)...

This spans multiple different interests. Look up the Co traverse about something called the "Sight arm brace" from letters to the ATF. Some asshat decided one day to get a hair up his butt and write the ATF about it. I guess the ATF agebt decided that s/he had enough writing the same damn letter...

If I still had my ERAU SOPA, I would post it. It had all the flows from before start to all emergencies in it.

No thanks. I am going stir crazy not flying (physically). I like flipping switches and pushing buttons, not watching someone else do it.

That's my advanced ground instructor certificate. The one right behind that is my CFI/MEI certificate, the one behind that is my CPL SEL/MEL/SES/Instrument Airplane. If I were going to continue instructing, that black seal would be a gold seal in just a few signoffs.

Get a new wallet. Get a new wallet with one of those removable ID/credit card holder thingies. Go to the DOL and get a new state ID. Stick the ID in the plastic see-through side and stick your pilot cert and the medical in the other side. Stick the whole sch bang into your flight bag and take it...

An old school I used to work at at KPAE advertises 8500 tart to finish in minimum time. I told people to expect 11-12.5 and be happy when they finish below that though. There are always snags, and you have to include room and board in your estimates as well which could easily add up to more than...

As long as it is readily accessible by the pilot during flight, I don't see a problem. Make sure you have a contingency plan if you crack the screen, run out of batteries, or one of your passengers hurls all over it and the tablet takes a dump on you.

Sounds like he is looking out for you. I wouldn't sweat it.

I do know of a crusader for sale. OP, PM if interested.

Yes they are. One of my students sent me this video of a co-worker on a solo cross country. C162, propose, nose gear collapse, prop through wing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2vyUaNlCYg

Kenmore Air Harbor. I did mine in 6 IIRC, including the check ride. You learn step taxiing, sailing, mooring, glassy water + confined area + rough water TO/Land, and docking procedures. It is real simple. They pump out so many SES pilots that they don't write out endorsements, they have a big...

If the paying passengersthat do pay $1,200 for the same flight think they can get away with only doing uber runs, they will. Scheduled air service might stop for the higher end tickets and they would lose profit margins for those previously sold tickets. It is the same reason why a doughnut...
