Just a question, you have 80 hours in the last year and you don't have your private yet? Perhaps this might be the reason for the instructor's behavior? Just asking.

I took it the poster was talking drag racing in general, "the name drag racing". I don't even know what STOL drag racing is, never heard of it. So ya, found it odd to condemn the very term "drag racing". He seemed to suggest just call it something else and it would be OK. And to your other point...

"Just don't like the name of Drag Racing"?? That is an odd comment. Participating or spectator, it is a great sport and family orientated.

I have a couple hundred hours in a IIIA, N75LS. I know the OP asked about a II, just brought back memories of the IIIA. This particular Cheyenne (1984, 42-5501017) was the flagship when Lear Siegler owned Piper. The "A" model had the -61 Pratts (850 SHP, flat rated to 720) it was quite fast. On...

It appears to me all you want is to convince us you are right and the FAA is wrong. Even if you succeed, so what. You think anybody at the FAA cares what you or the board members here think? You have been given excellent advice yet you do not even acknowledge it. I am finished with this, I do...

Your first mistake was applying for a medical without knowing 100% you would be able to get it. Once denied it complicates things. That is water under the bridge and can't be undone. I again urge you to take the advice I gave you in my post #2. Dr. Chien literally wrote a lot of the the...

The best advice is to contact bbchien (on this board) and follow his advice to the letter. Do not argue with him just do what he says. If he can not get you your medical then it can't be done, period. Good luck. One other thing, be COMPLETELY honest, leave no pertinent information out.

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

Just curious, what does MU-2F and PT6 got to do with each other?

A flat rated piston engine, hmmm.

LOL

Best post so far.

Well we have managed to dash the aspirations of another potential pilot. To the OP if you are interested in flying then for goodness sakes try it. Schedule a couple lessons and see what you think. If you like and can afford it get your medical and get your private. Just forget the commuting...

Maybe so but, my experience has been break company rules wind up unemployed. Will be hard to hide that much flying. Yes, he is a few years away from being able to commute by private aircraft. I just think it makes more sense if his learning to fly depends on him being able to commute that he...

I suspect the OP needs to check company policy first. Very few companies will allow private aircraft to be used in any capacity on company business. First things first. Most corporate lawyers will break out in hives at the thought of a new private pilots in a small plane on company business.

I guess you could if you wanted to handle something as toxic as TEL. But, the real question how would that change anything?

Private in 1976. DE comes up from Pell City, Al. to Guntersville, Al. They were 3 of us, all good friends. We used the same aircraft, a C 150 (2682J). DE arrived a little before 8:00 AM. The 3 of us the examiner and our instructor went to lunch at 11:00 AM, as new private pilots. Cost $50 each...

Jared, I will be one of the ones that MetalCloud is referring to. That is not my intent. The fact that you are trying to use good judgement, explore all sides and hopefully make a good decision is the reason that I am posting. I have owned two aircraft and retired a few years ago from my last...

If we knew pilot qualifications would be a little easier to recommend something.
