    I have been there 2 times, over the past 3 years and they have had syllabus, ground school. My only check ride there for my ASES They Joe used an action plan from a note book, the oral was mostly scenario based. I felt it was very professional .

    Ipad Mini?

    We took an iPad 1 shortly after they came out to 17500 in a Turbo Lance. Worked great, never lost GPS. Stayed reasonably close to panel mounted Garmin. Pre Ordered Mini today. WiFi version. Guessing (hoping) previous iPad compatible BT GPS will work. I Love my 7" Android in the cockpit...

    Besides being self employed (meaning I work harder for every dollar than ever) I drive a 20 year old truck (paid for) and belong to a couple flying clubs. The 1956 Cessna 172 I fly in one of them is $65 hour wet. Least expensive plane to fly at VGT. When people find out I'm a pilot and say...

    Re read my reply. I did answer the question. But to answer it more throughly. Yes, I did call the FSDO. Boils down to this. I'm not sure what they have determined was wrong with some of Eddies rides. But if it's a safety issue then I understand why they think we all need check rides. If one...

    Ben please see above comments in blue, and please try not to take offense. Because you seem like a good guy (Fellow Zenith builder) I will share with you some info about me I normally don't in a public forum. By Nature I am a fighter and very passionate. But I am also a strategical/thinker...

    As far as I know no one, short of the FAA, knows the whole story. And they have not released why they think Eddie and the check rides he gave are suspect. Like I have previously stated I felt I had a proper check ride with Eddie. I cannot speak for the rest of the pilots. I would like to...

    Easy on the reinstatement term there. As far as I know no one has lost flying privileges yet. We are still flying while we get check rides, or whatever action we choose to take.

    True but in this case if you don't do the 709 re-check ride they will take your private cert. and you won't be able to fly LSA.... I suppose you could take the LSA check ride but if you have a medical and hours why would you. Maybe John should try for the LSA ride

    I just discovered the Lake Buccaneer

    I have been a fan since I saw my first Buccaneer in 1981. Can you give us some real world performance specs? cruise speed, GPH, ...? Maintenance or buying tips? Thanks,

    All examinees of DPE Edward L. Lane to be required to re-test

    Was told if I hire an Attorney to fight it, my certificate would be suspended until the out come and that I would most likely loose and be back here anyway. I'm sure I can pass a check ride. I'm concerned about this 709 thing. Don't really need a black mark on my record especially for...
