Did Ask a FAASTeam Program Manager today at a Seminar , he gave me the same answer as you have said. Most C172 belts do fit me fine at 240 Lbs. But once in while I find Cessna a C172 and when I raise the seat the belt goes real tight. the yoke movements are just "fine" but I think a very...

Ok the Question, may have been asked 24 Dozen times, but I am going to ask it again anyway , can one use a seat belt extender in a C 172, if not ? why not ! Or Should I call the nice people at FSDO and ask them . !:goofy::goofy:

Stick & Rudder helped me fiqure out how to flare now I will read the chapter on Spin recovery So what were you doing all this on your first Solo ? I never practice steep turns and stalls alone without my instructor , but than thats me ! Glad you made it !

KHND the FBO will provide you a limo ride for free if you buy gas I believe 10 gallons

Eddie thanks for this write up, well wait for NTSB inquiry since this was on U.S. territory, however I was bit surprised with Babar 's decision to choose turtle pac tanks, instead of aluminum tanks (less prone to weight & Balance issues) as some one who has seen "dozens " of Ferry Pilots make...

Give me a Break ! The father was a superb Pilot, in 2008 he had engine out and landed his plane right on the highway between two cars ! without any damage to the plane or people ! google CNN and you will find a video on it !

Thank you I totally agree !

Not really ? just a week before this tragedy. 19 year old MIT student Matt Guthmiller(www.limitless-horizons.org) completed round the world trip . Same route in exactly the same kind of Bonanza, and last year it was 21 year old Jack Weigand, (www.facebook.com/solofFight2013) in a Mooney. And...

I agree, I was critical abt this journey risking "two" people in a single engine plane and even wrote to him about this on his blog ! Read his blogs - he gives wonderful explanations on his preparedness "with a mind set to ditch" if necessary Haris(son) was IFR rated . his check ride...

Dad(Babar) wrote on his wonderful blogs( he seemed to be a GR8 story teller ) that young Haris was freshly minted IFR rated, all this in sixteen weeks before they started their journey. I followed their journey through their facebook and Blog , Babar had carefully planed this trip; including...

With deep regret , It has been reported that Both Father & Son died when the plane they were piloting crashed taking off from Pago Pago, American Samoa, RIP Babar and Haris you both will be missed !

I guess, like Shakespeare I am bad at punctuation !Cheers :redface:

DID NOT KNOW Babar or Haris Suliman, but did follow their blog both on facebook and "flying round the world in 30 days ".As a matter of fact I even wrote to him. (Babar) on my concerns, taking a 17 year old in "a single engine"plane . on such an Oddessy. He replied in a long lengthy...

DAD !:yes:

DAD claims the 17 year old got his PPL IFR a month and half before taking on this Odyssey, So FAA registery must not have been updated ! but yes I believe it is the Father who is the real PIC with the young man doing some flying not to take away his glory but it saddens me to think when people...

I know what FAR/AIM says about getting a PPL you have to be at least 17 . My question basically is who is going to verify that the 17 year OLD flew the single engine plane around the world his DAD ? their is no CFI on board the aircraft or is this all really Kosher and above board ?

I know you have to be 17 to get a PPL, the 17 old does have IFR training as per the father just got his PPL about a month and half before taking on this journey. !

www.flyaroundtheworldin30days.com People I have read the FAR/AIM CFR title 14 Part 1 section 1.1 and part 91-3 So my question is does this 17 year old qualify as PIC in Command, I thought in such a situation one needs to do it SOLO ?:confused:

So Let me put in my 10 Cents worth. As a full disclosure I started to train in Oct. 2009 at that time I was in my mid 60"s after 12 hours stopped to get my medical issues solved took a while but I never gave up the ambition to fly ! $ 12450. 00 and nine, yes "9" Flight instructors 83 hours...
