    Multi Engine Time Building

    There is literally 1 multi in all of Tulsa that is used for instructing (not Part 141). So there isn't much opportunity for multi instructing. If you add OKC in the mix, you get 2 planes total lol Just trying to see if anyone knows of anyone or a plane that is slightly more reliable than the...

    Multi Engine Time Building

    Hi all, I'm located in Tulsa, OK. I have my Commercial Multi but need to build about 30 more hours of multi time to get to a job I'm wanting. I know Lease a Plane at KRVS has a seminole and I've flown it a couple hours. With an instructor, it is about $350 an hour. They won't let you rent it...

    First Time Airplane Buyer....maybe

    Hey all, thanks a ton for the insight into my original post. Obviously the whole thing depends on my mission. I would like a 4 seater but then I end up thinking that a lot of 4 seaters out there aren't really true 4 seaters (sacrifice gas, bags etc.). A couple people mentioned their RV and I...

    First Time Airplane Buyer....maybe

    Great webpage there. I'll spend some time on it. Yeah he did my flight review, it was late so I had to leave. He flew it to KRVS which is where I had my flight review but I didn't have the chance to see it in person. Next time!

    First Time Airplane Buyer....maybe

    Wow! Great replies guys. Already some good food for thought. @eman1200 I have quickly realized that Mooneys are pretty awesome...speed, fuel efficiency etc compared to others. I'm new to the game though so we'll see! I also can understand getting the HP and complex. It doesn't seem like that...

    First Time Airplane Buyer....maybe

    I'm wondering what a good first airplane would be for the following pilot? Or if I should even buy right now. -110 hours Total Time (and on the rise) -ASEL PPL -Plans to do instrument rating in the future -Weekend day/overnight trips/casual weekday flying -Based out of KRVS (Tulsa, Oklahoma) so...

    Sentry Mini or Bad Elf?

    I recently just completed my Flight Review after not flying for 6 years. I'm so happy to be back in the skies and loving all of the new technology out there. Especially Foreflight. My set up right now consists of: Iphone Xs on a RAM suction cup mount on the left side of the dash (C172). I...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I looked up Sentry unit and noticed they actually make a $200 unit called "Scout". Not as many features as the full blown Sentry, or even middle of the road sentry mini but for $200, could be a nice addition to get ADSB in. Again, I appreciate the thoughts on this. A lot of different routes to...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I'm located in Tulsa....the heat sucks. I can remember sweating through my entire shirt before even getting off the runway a few Summers ago. I really just need to go take a look at the planes in person to see what they've got (USB/Transponders etc.). But now I know what to look for. Thanks!

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    Hey everyone! Learning a ton here. Thanks a lot. I may try out my iphone Xs on a suction cup during my Flight Review (BFR?.. :) ) next week to see how it goes. Then if I really can't see anything, I'll upgrade in size. A friend of mine has yoke mount and likes it but I haven't tried it...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I've got an iphone so I was considering keeping all of my devices on the same platform. But if I'm only using a tablet in the cockpit, I wouldn't mind jumping to android. Standard internal GPS sounds nice!

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    Let me make sure I understand this properly. If I got an ipad with Wifi only, I would have to make sure it could connect with my transponder in order to get the traffic/weather etc. The cellular option only benefits those that want cellular data outside of the cockpit? If my transponder/GPS...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm actually surprised that the majority of folks are using the larger sized ipads versus the mini. I had made the assumption that the mini would probably win. Do you all have data on the ipad? Or is it just a wifi ipad? I'm trying to figure out what data...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I'm worried it would hit the yoke at maximum deflection. Ever have that problem? I've got a notepad for pen and paper on my kneeboard but I think it's thinner than an iPad would be. Just thinking out loud.

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I'm getting back into flying (I've had my PPL for about 10 years) more regularly now and I'm new to Foreflight. WOW is all I have to say. I don't have an iPad (yet) but was curious what the consensus was on the iPad mini? Specifically one with data or is data not necessary? My situation: I'm an...

    Cost Effective Time Building - Tulsa, OK

    I’m looking to do BOTH. Right now I have about 100 hours TT, 40 hours PIC on and off. I was considering getting an instrument rating but right now I’d rather spend the money on getting more consistent experience in the cockpit, solidifying my skills and of course learn more and more from real...

    That’s a sweet line up you got there. Those RV9’s are awesome. I bet it fulfills that need for speed!

    Cost Effective Time Building - Tulsa, OK

    I definitely had that thought regarding the overnight trip situation. That is the big upside of the club but then again, I don’t think I’m going to be reaching that 70 hr/yr mark. At least not right now. Good point regarding the maintenance on the plane. I bet after it being down for a month...

    Cost Effective Time Building - Tulsa, OK

    I usually fly out of KRVS but I physically live in Mid town so I can access Skiatook, sand springs, or South relatively easily.

    Cost Effective Time Building - Tulsa, OK

    Hi everyone. Brand new to this forum but love what I see. I’m in Tulsa, OK and looking to see if there is anyone around here who is interested in building some time? Or knows anyone with an airplane that needs to be flown more? (Wishful thinking of course). Ive got PPL. Also, any opinions on...
