So, last Wednesday (May 2), I did a quick, routine flight from our home base to near where my mom lives. I was thinking of filing IFR to get around the 5 miles visibility, mist, and the low scattered clouds around Grand Rapids. However, I had some errands to run and it was forecast to clear...

So, yesterday, I did a quick flight from our home base to near where my mom lives. I was thinking of filing IFR to get around the 5 miles visibility, mist, and the low scattered clouds around Grand Rapids. However, I had some errands to run and it was forecast to clear up in a few hours. By...

I'm currently working at the New York International Auto Show and snapped a few pictures of the Terrafugia display. First, this is what I do (look up) - the rigging, structure, electrical and lighting. Buzzword bonanza from your friends at Acura. And the Terrafugia. Wings extended.

I finally passed my commerical add-on for AMEL! I still need two hours or so for insurance purposes (hopefully tomorrow) and then I can fly my plane solo. The partnership was formed almost a year ago so I definitely need to fly more. I love my Twin Comanche. Anyway, we flew to Traverse City...

I was just looking up this airport in case I fly there to pick up a truck and noticed they had an SDF approach. I know it's not anything special but I have never flown one and would like to if I go there. If I remember everything correctly (rusty IFR), the ADF required on the planview is there...

Since I am in NYC and have some free time and can't fly my new plane, I suppose I will go to the Intrepid Museum. I'll upload some pictures of the cool stuff later today.

So I've started some studying to start on my way to becoming an instructor and am reading this book. I started it a few months ago, before I finished my Commercial, but it is a little difficult to get through. I have the habit of studying for my next rating (usually to get the written...

I had my commercial pilot check ride today. I'll get a write-up finished for those interested later and I'll try to participate more. I read almost every day but everything I would say is usually already discussed since everyone else is so active. This is great. Some quick points. I flew in an...

So, I dont post often at all but spend a fair bit of time reading all of the threads. Anyways, on Friday the 13th, I took the instrument rating airplane checkride and passed. The oral took 1.5 and the flying was 1.6 on the Hobbs. We started out with the cross country and went less than 10...

Since I hardly ever post anywhere, last friday, i passed my checkride for pp-asel! I started last May and had about 75 hours when i took the practical. Yesterday, i went to Brighton (45G) with my instructor and another student that just passed his instrument checkride in the back seat. The...
