thanks I never thought of that.

Student is unsure of what DPE said. This is why I am here.

My student thinks the DPE said that you DO have to meet the climb gradient regardless if you are 91.

Takeoff mins. The author doesn't say takeoff mins or climb gradient. Mauleskinner, The question was posed to my IFR student on a checkride. I am not sure I am in agreement with what the student remembers the DPE saying. This is why I thought I would see what you guys think. Again, we are...

Correct. Now as a part 91 operator, are you required to meet the climb gradient? Again I'm asking about "Legally", not Safely. I also don't take singles down to mins, or fly around at Class G wx mins. I'm asking a legal question. This was taken from the AOPA article I posted above: "If...

https://www.aopa.org/asf/publications/inst_reports2.cfm?article=6198 here is a short well written article that generated the question after I sent a student on his initial IFR.

zero / zero I'm aware, the climb gradient is what I'm after.

You are taking off from a non towered airport IFR. There is a climb gradient for the runway you intend to use. You have no intention to visually climb over the airport and the wx is below the " or 400-2" or whatever is listed. As part 91 you legally don't need to adhere to the gradient...

We bought a used 6. It has an IO-320, fixed pitch prop, and tipper canopy. This made the acquisition affordable. After 150 hours we gutted the plane and put in a new garmin panel. Experimental avionics save lots of money. Today we can cruise at 155 TAS on 7.7 GPH. On other days I like to...

Woops. Pax on board? Long time ago I was a new co-pilot. During takeoff I accidentally touched a break pedal. The captain aborted thinking we blew a tire. After the abort, had to call mx. Woops is right.

cool. who ya flyin for?

is your avatar from a 75?

Looks like they want an 8710 (I probably wont), emphasis no loss of control / stabilized approaches, and everyone needs to speak English. Did I get everything?

One word of advice. DO NOT FORGET TO TURN ON THE RUNWAY LIGHTS WHILE ON APPROACH IN ACTUAL. Sucks to pop out at minimums only to see black. I was flying into some western Colorado mountain airport one night. We decided to make an anouncement on CTAF even though we knew there was no way...

Ah. Had not herd of the AMU. Got it. I'm helping teenagers get their private for free. Does that count.

Great Job!!

I lost electrical in a Cherokee six one night in imc. Wouldn't recommend it. When we flew 310s ifr in the midwest we used flashlights to keep an eye on the airframe ice.

Out of what airport? What kind of training, airplanes, etc?
