    Professional Instrument Courses (PIC)

    Hey! Does anyone have any firsthand experience as a student with these folks? It looks like a great option for someone in a hurry. I am a part time CFII-MEI that flies a desk fulltime and I'm also a Dad to a 2.5 year old. I have an instrument student that has gotten into a pretty tight training...

    CFI-MEI without CFII - Limits??

    I have both CFII-MEI. No issues here. But as I train CFIs coming from many different walks of flying life (some with insane more experience than me), they choose to approach this path in different ways. My question specifically: can a CFI certified to teach Single and Multiengine (No CFII)...

    Flying Job for Retired Dude who doesn't want to constantly be gone

    All, Hey! I'm looking to retire at around 50 and so far it's looking good. At that point, I'll be in good shape financially but would like to work doing something I like to maintain some of the more fun things in life. Currently I'm 40, almost at ATP mins and will likely get the ATP out of...

    Hey, Just a regular dude here seeking my ATP-MEL. Registered for ATP-CTP in August, and will take written and prep after.

    CFI's - Logging in ForeFlight

    Calling Fellow CFI's! Is anyone logging their students' flights in foreflight for them and signing digitally? I know it is possible and I have played with it a bit, but I am hoping for best practices. It seems that the student must enter the flight and then request your signature. Is there any...

    Hypothetical Trainer: IFR Certified Tomahawk

    All, I know not everyone is a fan of the Tomahawk, but I have several hundred hours in it and am a long time CFI. It comes at a good price point, and if the AD's are in check ... I think it could be a fun trainer for BOTH Primary and IFR. What I am thinking: Dual G5's and a Garmin 430. It...

    Owning and Flying Over TBO

    Howdy! How many folks are doing this? I flew quite a bit with a friend in an Aerostar that did this for years. His mechanics were on top of everything, the oil was sent out twice yearly and the compression was checked on the same schedule. Never an issue. Of course, we know this means there is...
