    AATD simulator for Night Currency?

    Can a full-motion Redbird AATD sim be used for our 3 Night Landings currency? I cant get a definitive answer on this, as our instructors are split about 50/50 on this?... CFR 61.57 says... (b) Night takeoff and landing experience. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no...

    Any FAA resources for medical questions?

    I had a brush with Kidney stones a few years ago, caused by a Hyper ParaThyroid gland. Had it surgically fixed, no problems since.. But I have to have it monitored. Normal blood calcium levels are 8.5-10.2. And mine just came back at 10.3 this time... No kidney stones, no symptoms, no...

    Which is the better FBO job? Front Desk or Line Tech / Fueler?

    All the FBO's I've seen hiring around the Denver area pay $18-$20 for Line Techs.. $1-$2 less for Customer Service.

    Which is the better FBO job? Front Desk or Line Tech / Fueler?

    Well, to get paid for flying people around, of course, lol! Aiming more for a business jet or charter operation pilot at the moment. But still have a couple years of time-building before its really a needed decision.. (edited my post to include the goal, thank you)

    Which is the better FBO job? Front Desk or Line Tech / Fueler?

    I am trying to decide between two jobs at different FBO's Option 1 is a Line Tech / Refueler at a smaller (local) FBO company (but the largest FBO at the airport). LOTS of business jets, & smattering of charters come through there. Option 2 is Front Desk / Customer Service at a VERY large FBO...

    Personal x-wind minimums, & how often do you divert?

    So, I'm sitting about 120 hours right now (in 172's only), just waiting for my Instrument checkride.. But I dont feel that my personal x-wind minimums are high enough? Anything around 8-10 kts x-wind, makes me extremely nervous, so my personal mins are 8 kts max x-wind.. Even if the...

    Lost Comms clarification from you professionals?

    Seems more dangerous to me, to have a flight switch from an IFR plan, where controllers can anticipate your intentions, even without comms.. Suddenly changing to unfiled VFR, descending in the blind, and ATC just has to wildly guess your intended alternate? Just my rookie opinion..

    Lost Comms clarification from you professionals?

    Now, I get it, when you lose comms in IFR, you got MEA & AVE F.. no problem there.. But what about 91.185(b)... "If the failure occurs in VFR conditions, or if VFR conditions are encountered after the failure, each pilot shall continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable"...

    Denver area (KAPA preferred), need split time / safety pilot for IR hours

    So far, I've posted on every board, facebook group, reddit, & asked at every flight school in the centennial area that I can find.. What I've discovered is that flight schools (& individual instructors) are VERY protective of their students sharing time, preferring to keep them in house for...

    Denver area (KAPA preferred), need split time / safety pilot for IR hours

    I'm in the middle of building hood & x-country time for my Instrument Rating, and a little birdie told me this would be a good place to look for someone to split time and/or find a safety pilot? I fly almost everyday out of Centennial (APA).. usually in the mornings.. Any leads to other...
