An airport/FBO conversation that I could use some clarification on. Title says it all, pretty much. If one is at 4,000 feet - ATC says, "Cleared for RNAV 33 Approach. Cleared direct ATVEW maintain FOUR thousand until Established." When can one begin their descent? I thought that ATVEW is an...

Hello - been a minute since I posted here. I have a quick question as a newly minted CFII. On my recent CFII checkride, at 3AU I was coming in from the NW and shooting the VOR-A approach. Examiner asked me if I was going to do the racetrack procedure turn, and I said yes. DPE said that was...

Been a minute since I posted here. Last time I checked in, I was living in MN. Since relocated to SE Kansas. Looking to get back in the swing of things and get that CFII and put that CFI cert to use.

We are finally almost ready to make a move in the Spring of 2021. Looking closely at WI and IL. Would like to be no more than 2-3 hours driving distance of Madison, WI. In WI we are looking at Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls area to begin with. In IL, we are looking at the Rockford area - but are...

So I am trying to put together my lesson plans and get a head start on that before I find an instructor/school that will work around my schedule to get finished up. Everyone says the same thing "have your lesson plans" ready. Question: who is the audience for my lesson plans? Am I putting...

I connected with a few random CFIs as I work towards my CFI rating. One of them recommended this book. And it has been epic. 400+ pages of awesomeness. Of course the guy claims to be not so PC, so there are some good gems in there. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Going to get my CFI written this week. Thinking of getting the FOI next. Unsure if I should get the AGI. What are the benefits of getting the same? Edit: Long term goal is to be a career instructor. Not interested in going to the airlines.

In the market to buy a Bad Elf GPS. I see they have the Pro and the dongle type that connects to the lightning port on the iPad. Anyone have used the dongle one? Does it work well in the cockpit... ?

Clean 1979 Piper Warrior II. I purchased a share in this club with the intention of wrapping up my commercial and CFI. I am about to finish up my commercial but will probably hold off on my CFI for now. Too many activities and not enough time to fly. Also, I am based out of KDTL for now and...

Working on my commercial - and I have a new nemesis. The steep spiraling descent as part of emergency maneuvers during a simulated engine fire. A question for the CFIs - what speeds and angles do you teach this maneuver at? My current CFI has me do 65 kts KIAS and almost to a 60 degree bank -...

Thinking a bit ahead, as I look to wrap up the Commercial/CFI ratings within the next six months or so. An airline job is certainly out of the question. Looking to freelance as an instructor and possibly buy a bird down the road to do some instruction and scenic flights. Of course I am unsure...

Title says it all. Looking for a place to go finish up my commercial. Have most of the requirements met. Just need to finish up. Of course odd-ball schedule and lack of GA in this part of the state means my training keeps dragging out.... Know of any place that can dedicate a flight instructor...

As I get closer to completing the commercial and CFI rides, I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on some good books to really drive home and take the theoretical knowledge to a next level? My usual game plan has been to knock out the written using the Gleim/ASA books and watch as many...

Title was inspired by another thread on PoA. [emoji16] So.. am working towards my commercial ticket and have had a few flights in a Cessna 182RG to get the complex requirements done. I am also a member of the CAP, and have been working towards getting my mission quals, flying a Cessna 182 (no...

Too many twos and tos in that title. This thread isn't meant to be a high-wing vs low-wing or Cessna vs. Piper fest. The opportunity has come up for me to buy share in a really nice '79 Warrior. Has the 180 horse and all the bells and whistles. I have 200 + hours - mostly in high-wing (172...

What is a good place to get this coverage? AOPA? Also does one need Hull damage coverage? Or does the basic liability cover this?? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Rentals in the local area are hard to find. Fargojet wants a 160 or more an hour. Local airport has a 172 and they want 150 bucks an hour. There are a good number of pilots around here who would like to fly, and some who'd probably like to get licensed. With this in mind, I think setting up a...

.. that's cause the DPE misplaced his punch someplace. Passed the Instrument checkride this morning. Was my second attempt, the last one was about 1.5. Years ago. Life seems to have gotten in the way. All done! Much better this time and confidence was way better than last time. Details in a...

Departing out of KADC or KBRD. Prefer to make it a day trip. Something off the beaten path. Any recommendations?
