    Purchase Process

    20 years ago I had told the local A/P I was looking for a plane. Told him what type I was looking for and the year range. A few months later he had attended some meeting with other A/Ps and had found what I was looking for. A week later it was in my name.

    Airline Pilots and Security

    One pilot did that in PIT about 6 months after 9-11 TSA confiscated the axe then went through all planes at the gate getting all of them. It took about 6 hours to straighten that mess out.

    Buying an older 172E - Items to Upgrade?

    Wasn't there an AD put out years ago on the cigarette lighter in the 172? Sticks in my mind that the problem was there wasn't a fuse on some of them. So it was install a fuse or remove it. Hopefully someone with a better memory than mine will know.

    Multi-hour Airline Delays

    I was with Trans States 15 years ago. In that case shut the door, tell the ground crew you're releasing the parking brake and the clock starts. You'd tell the ground crew what was going on because the plane may move a little. Now take into consideration at that time we had some aircraft that...

    How much plane can I afford?

    I would suggest that the FIRST thing you should do since you envision an airline career is to get an FAA First Class Medical! I've known people who went through PPl, Comm, Instr dreaming of the airlines only to find out they had a problem physically and couldn't get or hold the First Class...
