Another airplane that has crossed my path is a tripacer. Worth considering?

I only weight 130 and 5'7. I'm not big at all are neither are the people I'm flying. Do you think there's a significant enough different between the 160 cherokee I posted and a 180?

Thank you. I'm going to look at the cessna today. I know it doesn't have adsb and maybe no mode c. I know the cherokee does. What are your thoughts on the price of the cherokee?

I live in Minneapolis St. Paul MN Area. My mission is to carry me and two people between the cities and Duluth MN. I am looking at Cherokee 160 and 180's and C-172s. I've found two in MN that are really nice. Could anyone give me some advice on what to look for in these airplanes? I have lots of...

Well I passed. I haven't been on here in a while. Went well. Biggest emphasis was being able to walk talk and chew gum my way through instrument procedures. Honestly was a pretty easy checkride.

Well thank you for the advice. It’s on Tuesday pending weather so I’ll keep posted on how it goes.

How did you CFI ride go?

Lol I tried during my instrument training to get a working adf airplane. Never succeeded so.... hope it doesn’t come up.

Hey all, I'm going in for my CFII ride. Already have my CFI. Wondering if anyone has any advice form their rides/how they went? Thanks

That was my initial thinking. benyflyguy, you'd have to read the initial thread. It was about Errors. My thinking regarding the checkride was that he had something come up that day and wanted me out of their. He was wasting no time getting things out of the way. He already had my check at the...

I'm surprised the examiner let you get away with that. Some of these guys have HUGE chips on their shoulder.

Thank you! I'll check it out.

I did ask for more clarification and he just repeated himself. Evidently according to the Aviation Instructors handbook there are only two types of errors and they are a Slip and a Mistake. I'm not making stuff man. That's literally how those 10 minutes went down in the first ride with a DPE...

False. The two types of errors are a slip and a mistake. To finish the story, it was an FAA ride. The FAA does not get involved with the rates the DPEs charge, it's entirely unregulated. In the event DPEs decline to test you (which they can for whatever reason they want), the FAA is obliged to...

What are the two types of Errors?

Does anyone work for the Lufthansa school in AZ? I keep seeing ads for it but no real information like if they are a good company to work for, if it's a feeder school, do CFIs there go on to fly jets, etc. Anyone have any information?

Finally got my CFI. Roughest checkride I've even taken to be sure.

No you don't need to continue. Unfortunately, this happens to be an areas in which I am an expert (not a proud one). You can go to whatever examiner/inspector/DPE you want. They have the prerogative to honor previous test credit though so you could end up doing the whole test over again.

I kind of learned my lesson flying long distance to get a ride. It takes money to run the plane that far and you have the risk of failing and not being able to retest that day because the recommending instructor isn't at the airport. Out a lot of money. The reason I want to do it in the next...

Best advice I've gotten so far...
