Thanks again for the info. As I continue to look at the systems I constantly wonder how my situation would unfold. If I'm laying in my cornfield next to a busted up plane I activate my spot 1. I hope the satellite system picks up my signal 2. I wait for the spot controller to call my...

OK I see how they are processed. Since each of these entities are basically dispatch centers how much delay is there in processing and who are the responders who actually come rescue me in each case. I ask because here in the midwest there are few federal resources for AFRCC to request...

there have been some great posts here providing information on the COSPAS/SARSAT system. My question is who actually responds if I go down in the midwest, I'm injured and I can activate both devices. Its my understanding that SPOT activates the closest PSAP (911 center). How about SARSAT?

I'm 6'4 and I was 250lbs when I did my flight training in a tomahawk. I enjoyed every minute of my time in that plane.

I recently came across this scholarship opportunity so I thought I would share it with all of you. I am not affiliated with this company but it looks like a great chance to offset some of the coasts associated with flight training. http://www.sennheiser-aviation.com/live-your-dream

I just did my training with www.adventureseaplanes.com I had a great time. they are based out of the surf side seaplane base in Lino Lakes Minnesota.

I have always enjoyed the quad cities show. Unfortunately I have to many commitments this weekend to make it this year.

Thanks for the info Jim! I knew there was someone out there doing it, but I didn't know who. Even though I would love to learn in amphibian I understand the restrictions, and would be very happy learning in a "Seaplane"

I will add another thumbs up for ForeFlight. I have used it for a few months and I think it's great!

Kent, Thanks for the info. I have heard that there is someone on the mississippi, but I can't find any information on them. The adventure seaplane folks appear to be the best option so far.

Wow, I cant believe all of the great replies. I would love to travel to florida to get this done, but thats not in the cards. Because of that restriction I will have to wait until the water turns soft again. In the mean time do any of you have experience with these folks...

I need the help of my friends on the POA forum. For Christmas this year my wife has given me the chance to do some training in amphibian aircraft. I just need to set it up. I have searched the forum, and the Internet, but I would like some recomndaions from you. I live in central Iowa and...

I run X plane 9 on my mac. Can any of you recomend a good flight stick or yolk, rudder pedal combination?

What is an Aztruck?

I fought this battle when I first started flying. If you have a reasonable examiner this should not be a huge hurdle. I have controlled Asthma, and I still have my medical. :)

I just saw your post while surfing the web on my iPad. I clicked your links and when I tried to download the Chicago sectional I got an error. I will try later to see if there is another way, but I'm not sure why I would need to because I use ForeFlight and it has almost everything I need.

How about the palm beach area? Is anyone there offering instruction or unique aviation experiences?

I know I'm new here and I don't generally post much, but I find this a well moderated board with good discussions. I thank the comment and moderators for keeping it that way

Hey Dave welcome.

Welcome back. I also had an 8 year break from flying. Thanks to Tony and a few others I. Have been back at it. Enjoy your return to flight
