At leas on my insurance the 200 hours (and 25 in type) is for the open pilot warranty. Consider quoting as an additional insured.

I just got insurance on a Seneca with only 40 multi. 3 companies quoted me. I have a lot of RG time, and according to my broker, that helps a lot. The market certainly appears to be all over the map.

I suspect they will have difficulty wrapping their little heads around "probably". A couple AME will be by to provide what additional tests they might require.

Exactly. And since we know that BasicMed pilots have the same accident rate as current class 3 pilots, it seems like an easy call. Recurring class 3 exams have been proven to have no benefit to safety.

Awesome. I'm building a CH 750. Zenith is pretty awesome to work with, If you get stumped, just give Rodger a call. And the posters above are right, wiring is not very documented and takes longer than you think. I'm doing electrical and fuel lines now. The tribal knowledge is there, you just...

It'll be hard to fix this if we dwell on the extreme outliers. Pilots with serious schizophrenia and psychotic issues are fairly limited and that seems a consensus. The issue is with the way the FAA treats the successful 40 YO who had a rough 4th grade and the person was proscribed an...

Keep it or sell it. Don't scrap it, sell it as-where-is or get an annual and it'll be airworthy in the eyes of the FAA. Selling an airplane with a current annual is a lot easier than one without and you'll get more money unless there is an unknown mess. A buyer can get a test flight for one...

When I got my SI for cancer (prostate) a long time ago I was told they would want a scan. When I went to my real doctor for my status letter and told him, he was very upset and wouldn't prescribe it. His opinion was the last thing a cancer patient needed was unnecessary radiation. I submitted...

Absolutely. I don't think there is specific case law since it's never been challenged, nor would I expect it to be.

Especially if you have strong incentives not to look too deeply.

There is more info needed to be sure, but I doubt scraping it makes sense. Almost certainly has more value as a project than as parts. Couple quick questions. Do you have a clear title? Is there any corrosion? What does the panel look like? Do you have the logs? Where are you located? Take...

My guess is one note is not a problem. More than one probably would be.

All if the "have you ever" questions should be modified to a 10 year lookback. After 10 years, it's settled. A successful 40 year old who had a rough 4th grade is not a concern.

The FAA disagrees with your numbers of pilots. Citation. (Table 1) The house and senate both passed reauthorization bills with another large increase. The 2 versions differ on some specific policy riders ( particularly flights from DCA) and has been extended to May 10th. Hadn’t seen “the...

Their budget has gone up every year. With BasicMed, their workload is down by about 80,000 airmen. Doing less with more.

The only way you really save money is to get your SP and stop flying. If you keep flying you'll spend the money anyways. If they are available, there is no good reason not to do your PPL in an LSA though if they are cheaper. I like SP a lot, gets you flying PIC quicker and allows you to do...

I've got about a dozen jumps there in the distant past including a few With Bill. Lodi has been one of the busiest drop zone over the years, though it has slowed down a lot in recent times. Yes, they are a bit of a cowboy operation, they are not USPA members and will let people set their own...

Well that's quite the hit piece.

Another vote for the 6.

tbh, that was my first thought too.
