WHATEVER DO YOU MEAN?

I think most students think they are scary and uncomortable

Helllloooo Aviators! I am taking my CFI Checkride in a few weeks. My DPE told me to focus on what PPL candidates (and all new pilots) worry about the most. Of course, a few things come to mind, like crosswind landings, practicing stalls for the first time, etc but I wanted to gather some quant...

To each his own, ya know? I was psyched to have the most important people in my world there for me. And hell, they have a vested interest in my success since they are my passengers. So, the flowers and excitement were as much for them as they were for me. "YAY, Daddy is now statistically less...

I do! In my buddies King Air 200--pretty sweet. But not on the Mooney--and I'm psyched to get some but that doesn't happen much in CO. We have lots of stuff in our clouds. Ice, mountains, thunderstorms... ;)

Ha, yeah. I knew what he was doing. And he knew I knew...he did it on my PPL as well and we've spent time together outside of our check rides so we have a rapport. I could have easily asked for a sterile cockpit had I been flustered but at the time, I felt good and just let him ramble as I...

Passed my check ride today! Whew...3 years to the day of my first solo flight as well! All the posts here definitely helped me prepare, so thanks guys!!!! Here's a quick write up: Headed to the FBO at 7am and got the plane ready. Laid out all the necessary documents (AROW, medical, PPL, annual...

A longshot, but a friend of mine has a dog that's up for a role in a new Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Ben Stiller flick. She (owner and dog) is looking for a ride from Western Colorado (KMTJ, KTEX, KDRO, or KGJT) to NYC on or around 2/28...if anyone is heading that way, there will be...

Also, trade offers accepted! I am looking to get into a Bonanza 35 or a Mooney! Thanks for your help. Additionally, if you know someone who is looking, I'll offer you a commission if the sale goes through.

Hi Tom, It's a STEC-40 slaved to the DG so it will follow the heading bug... The plane is IFR with the GNS400 GPS, KX155 with nav/com/VOR/LOC...and an MX12 nav/com/VOR/Glide slope Here are some photos and log book shots for you: https://goo.gl/photos/sMJnLXixXB4WEbWKA

Great points fellas. You made me check the engine log. So, 1300 on the tach, 1260 SMOH. I feel like it's Christmas all over again.

Yes, 1300 SMOH. Happens to coincide nicely with the tach.

I'm sure it would be better for the buyer if it was $42,556 but...

Cruise is 130Kts over the ground with the STOL kit. Asking price is $50,556 but its negotiable.

I found four basic rules for flying GPS without WAAS: Pilots “may file based on a GPS-based IAP at either the destination or the alternate airport, but not at both locations.” Pilots may plan for LNAV or CIRCLING minimums only, unless equipped for baro-VNAV. A preflight RAIM prediction for...

VOR, Glideslope...yessir. So, ILS and RNAV...but wondering about LPV at circling mins, etc... For example, the RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 17 for KMTJ has a WAAS in the upper left hand corner of the plate. Does that mean, I must have WAAS for the approach, or can I still fly the approach and use the...

Hi guys. Settle a bet...what approaches can I fly with a non-waas GPS? Thanks!
