    For Sale Best Tugs B9 tug, still in crate

    This Tug is sold, pending payment next Monday. It’s a Bravo B9. It was deleivered this past summer so it’s possible the models have changed. It’s listed right below the B12 model in size. I think roughly 600lb unit weight, for up to 9000lb gross weight plane. If for some reason the sale falls...

    Clearance on the ground or the in the air?

    It depends on the aircraft, weather, and your location. When I pick up clearance in a piston, from an untowered field, and conditions are VMC, I usually pick it up in the air, even in busy airspace. IMC, obviously on the ground, with approach/departure if there is no dedicated clearance...

    Another Cirrus down

    My comment was not specifically directed toward you. Aside from your comment on the Cirrus not being docile in handing, I think I agreed with most of what you said, though I didn’t go back an re read comments. I think you posted the video of the acro pilot with BRS that lost the wing and walked...

    Another Cirrus down

    Sorry about that. Patience isn’t one of my strong suits. It takes a lot of self control not to be negative when I see comments from people that clearly don’t know what they’re talking about. Their comments just lead to more misinformation being spread.

    Another Cirrus down

    I think you’re wasting your time. Some of these posters are so clueless I question whether or not they even fly.

    Another Cirrus down

    I read some of the comments on the Cirrus with interest, and thought I’d put in my $.02 after flying SR22Ts for over 900 hours before moving up to a TP. The G5 I had, full fuel, could carry 640 lbs, which I think compares favorably relative to other piston planes. In the upper teens they’re...

    Best Tampa area GA airport?

    I fly out of Tampa. Far and away the best small airport in the area is KTPF. It's well located, right off of downtown Tampa, on Davis Islands. It's also very scenic as it's surrounded by water on three sides.

    Accelerated course vs months

    Thanks for the welcome. I had to think a minute about your question. While I'm excited about flying and continuing on to an instrument rating, traveling, etc., I'm not sure it was passion that got me through the course. I think it was just a better fit for the way I do things. I guess my...

    Accelerated course vs months

    I found this website while looking for information on insurance for a new plane. This thread caught my attention having just completed accelerated flight training and passed my check ride two days ago. I completed my training from start to finish in 4 weeks (28 days) with 53.5 total hours...
