Thank you for the response! This person is very active in junior ROTC and able to exceed all physical fitness requirements for it. Do you have a gut feeling whether or not this would be an easy case for the FAA to approve or if this is going to be a difficult battle?

Hello there! A friend of mine has Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). Does anyone know if this will cause them difficulty in getting a 3rd class medical? They're interested in getting their PPL. Yes, I know they will need to see an actual FAA Medical Examiner (of course) but they'd...

Here's the situation...The aircraft's a Piper Arrow IV...Constant Speed prop... Let's say we're at cruise at 6,000MSL and let's say we're at 2400RPM and maybe 23-24" of MP cruising around 130kts or so. It's time to descend. Conventional "wisdom" (I use the term loosely) says you start...

Yeah when I did a search for CFI threads, I saw you just got yours recently. I assume those were your main resources?

Thanks! Oh that good to know about thanks. I'm always looking for somewhat local groups.

So I started a previous thread about how to best network and get experience in aviation and came to the conclusion that earning my CFI certificate was one thing that I could do. I already have a career and I'm not looking for a new one but flying's my passion and I want to constantly get better...

I live in CT. I have not found a very large aviation presence here. It's certainly no CA. I have been toying around with the idea of moving on to my instructor ratings but for a different reason. I've taught other things in my life professionally and I've always found that I'm better when I have...

I wouldn't be surprised if there were but none that I'm aware of.

Anyone you know there Keith? You fly out of KSNC?

Yeap...this is how i got into aviation to begin with. I lived a mile from the airport. Worked there through highschool and college and knew every owner on the field. That was pre 9/11 back when fuel was less than half of what it is today. Most of those owners are gone...most of those planes are...

It's hard to disagree with you. I do need more PIC time. I'm just growing tired of spending my own hard earned cash on flying around in circles. I want to go places and do fun things but it's hard to pack a family in a small rented Piper Warrior only to hurry back so the next renter can fly...

Thanks to everyone that replied. It sounds like what I expected....network and chat with people and be in the right place at the right time to find the right opportunities. I feel like it's the next step for me. I love the challenge. I love learning new systems. I love learning how bigger...

I'll start by admitting, I'm not sure what exactly I'm asking here...I think i just want to have a discussion and see what people have to say. I've been flying for 17 years but I only have 350 hours. I have my Commercial, Multiengine Instrument ratings (complex and high performance signoffs...
