So, I finally got enough cash saved up to get started on my CFI training. Before I get too deep in this - all my flying has been done on the east coast - flying here in DEN is AMAZING in comparison!!! Alright, back to the topic - While building $$$ I got my AGI and put together some ground...

I'm having a bit of a tough time coming up with a clear explanation of this, which tells me I don't fully understand it myself. On the surface, it seems vapor lock would be less of a problem with a fuel injected engine since the fuel is pumped under pressure into the cylinders. However, I...

News just in that Tim Russert has died at work http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/06/13/tim.russert/index.html

A TAF is issued 4 times a day (scheduled, I'm not talking about AMD/COR/RTD in this scenario). When a TAF is issued at 2335z for instance, it's valid for 24 hours (valid from 00 to 00). Then another TAF is issued around 0535z (valid from 06 to 06). Any thoughts on what happens to the...

I got my AGI a couple weeks ago, and threw my resume out just to see what might be available. Well, I got a call within a few days from a school that is just starting a ground school program (jeez, timing is everything). Anyways, I was invited to interview, and was asked to develop, and...

It's going on a year since I got my commercial certificate, and I really haven't had the funds to put into flying (new jobs and move to a new city for my wife and I...and a mortgage still in the old city), and I'm really getting the itch to do some more flying stuff. I took the FOI exam last...

I got to see something for the first time today (outside of a textbook)...I was driving up I-225 and looked over toward the mountains, and was greeted by this formation of clouds: Unfortunately I didn't have a camera on me (this was a pic on the web...do i need to give credit for the...

So there I was catching a ride to the top of Breckenridge Mountain today. This time instead of the chair lift, we decided to hit the T-Bar up to the expert terrain. As I was being PULLED up the mountain, I realized that it would not matter if the mountain was moving backwards, or at what speed...

Hey all - My medical is coming up for renewal for the first time since I moved to Denver, so I'm looking for any good AME's - preferably someone who specializes in dealing with SI's. I used H. Stacy Vereen in Atlanta, and he was the best! Dr Bruce - do you know if he has an equivalent in...

With the media coverage of the Fossett search, my interest in the CAP has been re-sparked. I've done a search, and read all the posts from a thread back in 2005, and realize it isn't for everyone. In fact, I'm not sure how I would do in a "military" environment. On the other hand, I have a...

I can't recall if this was ever posted on here or not...found it on another board. That might take a few minutes to work up the flight plan...unless of course you're using some of that fancy flight planning software that let's you plot the points as you go...

I am in agreement with all the folks that believe an IFR flight plan should be filed to an IAF at the destination airport. I am teaching a class next week, and plan to include this practice as part of the course material...the problem is that I am having a difficult time finding a reference...

I was flying a Warrior on a trip to SC this weekend. We filed IFR in anticipation of getting on top of a layer of broken to overcast clouds. Unfortunately, we spent the entire trip in the soup at 5,000. I would have gone up to 7,000, but we were showing +3C, and noticable water around the OAT...

After several weeks of on and off studying/flying, and a few long days of non-stop studying, the Commercial checkride is successfully complete. I'm exhausted, but promise to come back in a day or two to fill in all the details. I'm off to bed:yes:

Well, my wife and a few friends were planning to fly from Atlanta to Charleston, SC for a weekend in April. We were on the schedule for the 172RG well in advance, then I got a phone call from the flight school stating the aircraft needs to be used for a checkride on the day we want to depart...

Pretty good training day today. CFI and I left LZU around noon. We flew a bit southeast and did some slow flight and stalls for a bit. While we were finishing up the slow flight work, I noticed the Low Voltage light was illuminated. Well, I like to spend some time reading about how to deal...

I started my commercial training back in the fall with the expectation of finishing by the holidays. Well, projects intensified at work, then the holidays came along, then I thought I should spend some time studying for the written test before spending more $$$ on airplanes, then it was time...

After doing some approaches at a distant uncontrolled airport, my flying buddy and I decided to do a couple more approaches at a towered field on the way home. After he completed a couple approaches, we decided to continue home on a westerly heading. On our way back, tower contacted us to...

This will be split into two posts…the first is what I am looking for. If this isn’t your area, or you aren’t interested, I will save you from the details. If you are interested, please read the second post as well. I currently have my PPL-ASEL, and recently passed my IR exam. I am working on...

I just want to make sure I'm reading this right. (i) One cross-country flight of not less than 300 nautical miles total distance, with landings at a minimum of three points, one of which is a straight-line distance of at least 250 nautical miles from the original departure point This is not...
