Flying with a buddy of mine in his C182 last night. 4 miles out before we enter the downwind poof everything goes black. Pitch black inside the cockpit. He is freaking out a bit. Ok just fly the damn plane. There is a reason why we practice no flap landings and do all those things before we...

Ha. That's the only friend I have. I am here to make friends. I probably should have more than 1.

Ouch! That's what he said he bought it for.

Get the best you can afford. I dont mind spending money on my wife and kids but when it comes to myself I am cheap and stingy. I have this rich friend who always has to buy the latest and newest gadget. He has the A20 bose headset that he bought in 2023. I said I'll wait till he gets tired...

Its been awfully turbulent around here lately. Especially in the C150. lol

This 48 year old is one of those guys chasing the 1500 hrs and running away from the healthcare sector. lol I am hopeful I make it because I freaking love flying. Like I want to fly every day and all the time. Just hit 666 hours and averaging about 15 hrs/week which I need to bump up but my...

I was doing steep spirals while this guy was landing. So cool.

But was it harder and more work than getting my 3rd class?

For clarity I don't have A/P. I flew the old beat up 172 during training. now I fly an old beat up c150. lol neither has AP. I have racked up a bunch imc time solo. I can hand fly it fine in imc but it gets tiresome after 15 mins. a month after getting my ticket I was flying ifr back home from...

A beautiful evening at KCMI saw this weird thing in Placencia, Belize

Thats awesome. Congrats! Does your plane have A/P. I like flying in and out of IMC but have found I dont enjoy being IMC past 10 mins without the A/P.

hahahah. Thats hilarious. Well, I am better than anyone out there because I have been putting tons of IFR and IMC hours in my little C150 without the A/P. I am not just a button pusher. I can fly. :p

I understand why the FAA is strict on the matter. The issue I have with it is getting the comm rating is very limited on what you can for hire unless you go to part 135 and 121. For part 91 the certification is almost useless.

Thank you. Should be a good read.

That's what I think too. I am trying to wrap my head around how this can be done legally. I keep reading on the matter and keep getting confused on how part 91 guys do this legally.

Ha. I am excited for you man. Congrats! When I bought my slow C150 I felt the same although the initial cost was a shocker. 30K for the plane and then another 30K to get it good to go for me and then another 5k for the annual. Now that I have had it a few months it feels good. Last sat I put...

OK I am asking for a friend. What about someone (Mr. A)gets an aircraft leased from someone else(Mr. B). Mr. B provide the lessee a list of pilots who can be hired for flying the plane. Would that be still grey area of legal for the pilot and whoever leases the plane out?

I had a friend of mine who refused to look at it. Nope, not gonna do it. It doesnt do anything for me he said. OK but you are here and it happens rarely. I have glasses for you. Why dont you want to see it? He wont say why. I forced him to look at it with the glasses for 2 secs during...

glad you were there. it was a fun day. the guys at mvn usually do a really good job.

Here at MVN the sky was pretty much clear. We got 80 planes in. The madness started at 9am when some guy started his engine and blew away a tent. a 9 yr old kid came out of the tent telling the pilot "you are a bad boy. a very bad boy". Around 10 am I wanted the mini Oshkosh feel so I took my...
