I’m going to be doing IFR soon and I’ve already decided to train using analog. Price wise, Pt141 the minimum is 35 hours, so it’s about 7500$ for the 172/DA40. I know some don’t get the minimum, but I got my ppl over three years in Pt61 with 45hrs. For the 152 it’s about 6000$. I weigh 170 so...

Ok thanks. That is also why I’m flying. I’m young and take many precautions so I’m just going to take the same precautions in the plane. After the flight with the instructor I should just be able to fly alone for most of the time.

It’s just due to COVID but my flight school seems to have very good cleaning procedures for the aircraft and their instructors only come in with good health. Flying wise I know nothing comes close to the airplane but do you think vfr review course is good to stay current on ground knowledge?

As the title says I haven’t flown since March when I passed my ppl check ride. I chairfly a lot on Xplane and now on fs2020. But how do I stay current and knowledgeable on things like weather theory, aircraft systems and such. Are there any ground courses I could get I do every couple of months...

She probably does know what a stall is. But I’m assuming she is early in her training where the classroom knowledge blanks away when you fly the plane due to excitement or nervousness. That was my experience for the first 10 hours.

Retitled!

I’m planning to go from riverside to Henderson in the summer (June). How are the winds usually. Do they gust a lot. I’m only staying for one night and leaving next day. But on the day I arrive at KHND it will most like be in the evening either 2:30 or 3. Anyone have any tips.

There’s a g1000 c182 at a good price near me. But it’s dual only. Seems about right. Pretty expensive and powerful aircraft.

I’m more concerned with the difference in times quoted. 3hrs to 10hrs is huge. People get there MEL in under 10hrs. I just don’t want to be lied to and overcharged.

I know one place that requires you to get your own insurance and asks for multi day minimum of 2.6hrs per day. Seems very precisely calculated...

No I actually like the cirrus way more. I just don’t like the transition training, and the place I’m going to rent from does a 3hr/day minimum for multi day rental so in a diamond it’s not much. But it really adds up in the cirrus. Especially if I’m only flying two hours.

So in the 22 you have a better useful load obviously. But would you say your CG was loaded similar to the image I posted. I figured during my transition training I’ll bring two people I plan to fly, put them in the backseat and practice with the instructor.

Have you ever flown for with 4 people including yourself of course. Fuel cutdown in the limits of weight. How was the handling with CG at the aft limit. Pretty much like this. I’ve flown three and full fuel in 172N and near gross weight in a C172SP. I’m more concerned of the CG more than the...

I know there’s no legal type rating from the FAA. That’s why I put it in quotation marks. But many flight schools with cirrus push that you need 10 hrs of transition before and then some others claim you only need three. I meant the transition training.

There’s no bonanza’s available for rent near me in SoCal. One more thing that I’ve noticed is, the SR20 G6 has an aft cg when loaded with 4 people (with pilot of course), more so for the ones with composite props. I’m most likely going to do two other people not including me and as much fuel when I fly.

Hey guys! Recently passed my checkride. I’ve been training for three years (I was only flying once a month initially). I got checked out in a G1000 172 the day after. I was debating the DA40 G1000 vs SR20 perspective plus. I only need to do 1-2 hrs of checkout in the DA40, but for the cirrus I...

I was never afraid of stalls as a student. But on my first ever discovery flight, I was scared of basically everything. I spent a lot of time on a flight sim but never knew the instrument panel on the Cessna 172 which I what I flew. I’ve flown a Cherokee as well. That was three years ago and...

Definitely. But I don’t want to risk night touring simply for the fact I only have 4.5 night hours. Not nearly enough for real world application.

Alright. I’ll probably do that on my cirrus Transition. I’ve flown solo to KDAG. I know which mountains you are talking about. I crossed it at 9500msl. Or 2000agl clearance from the 7500MSL mountains.
