    Why no name for the Cessna 310?

    I always heard it referred to as a Suck and Blow...

    Logging PIC

    As I told Half Fast, I was mistaken and apparently there isn't a place where one word even suggests your personal physician has to notify the FAA of anything.

    Logging PIC

    I had thought the examiner was required to report the results to the FAA. Although a physical and a doctor's approval is still required, I can see the huge advantage of being able to shop for your physician. Add the additional two years before a reexamination and I can see that it's a big...

    Logging PIC

    Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the difference between an AME and your primary physician when it comes to notifying the FAA about any issues affecting your ticket? One of the advantages of being a sport pilot in the first place is having the ability to fly with only a driver's license...

    That's a damn good point. I've been on training flights during my aerobatic lessons for example when we switched back and forth many times between following her on the controls and vice-versa. No one had sole control during these times.

    Logging PIC

    They came up with the Basic Med during my time off, but from what I've been reading about it, I don't see it as any major change. Medical issues that the FAA believes could potentially affect safety will be reported. The only advantage I see is the extended the time between doctor visits...

    Not to beat a dead horse here, but just in case the question comes up. The term, 'sole manipulator of the controls' is used. During our first flight of an hour the instructor took off and made the first landing. So if he wanted to, he could could log my PIC time as .8 rather than 1.0, correct?

    Logging PIC

    In this case he's an 'older' gentlemen (like me :) ) who's been instructing, I believe for about a year. He hasn't soloed anyone yet.

    Logging PIC

    Thanks for everyone's response. It's not that big of a deal one way or the other, I'm not trying to build time. Actually the question would never had occurred to me if he hadn't written a zero in the PIC column. Initially he thought he wouldn't be able to give me a flight review at all...

    Logging PIC

    So it seems my instructor is misinformed, now to convince him of that.

    Logging PIC

    I'm just returning to the skies after 12 years. I have a ASEL, high performance endorsement and a glider rating. I've bought and sold a few planes, flown a lot of x-country so now that I'm retired I'm just looking to rent, or maybe find a partner to buy, a Champ, Cub, T-Craft, Fly Baby, etc...

    First for the Blues

    There was a woman CFI working at the FBO where I was taught who delivered aircraft from the factories to military bases during WWII (gives you an idea of how old I am) :yikes:

    What Does the FAA Have Against the Word, “Student?”

    Like my wife who for no apparent reason wants to move the furniture yet again.

    Tailwheel Endorsement: J3 Cub or C-140?

    I would recommend starting in the Cub especially if you haven't flown a tandem or stick. Beyond the bragging rights of flying such a classic, it's a much different experience then probably anything you've flown and you'll have more fun. Flying the Cessna afterwards will be non-event. I put...

    Landing on Highways

    It sure seems like you're way oversimplifying to me. If you had to put down a Cherokee Six filled with children and your choice was dense 60' trees or a highway with only an occasion car in sight, you would be putting many more lives unnecessarily at risk. Making blanket statements is easy for...

    Talk me out of a Cherokee 160

    I'm new here, but I've bought and sold four planes and have to take the opposite viewpoint of some others. You being a realist, I think you hit the nail on the head and answered your own question. My first plane was an old Cherokee 180 with Hershey bar wings, but after flying with two empty...
