#9

[Mtns2Skies]

9 Checkrides passed! Now a MEI, most certainly my last checkride, at least that I'll be paying for. I got my PPL about this time 10 years ago, and not one of those 9 checkrides did I have a failure, a discontinuance or even a reschedule. I filled out the Airplane category at the commercial level, and also at the instructor level.

Good ol' "Tater" was it's name.

Congrats! It sounds like you really lucked out with your checkrides, to have a record like that!

Great!

 

[Half Fast]

Congratulations!!

 

[Shepherd]

Well done!

 

[jsstevens]

Nice! I'm 3 for 4 with my very first PP a bust. But since then I'm 3-0.

Side question: Are you insured to instruct? If so, how much does that cost (if you don't mind my asking)? I'm still planning to finish out my FW ratings with SES, MES and Glider but haven't started any of the CFI stuff and am not sure I want to. Liability is a thing...

 

[Half Fast]

I’m 2-0, so I think I’ll just stop right there with a winning record.

Hey. It's you. I was lookin' for you the other day. Monkey business. Forgot about the - in Gman

Ima couple hunnert - 1.

The - 1 was the knowledge portion of a private pilot chief instructor ride, with over 10000 hrs of experience. Hilarious!

Definition of a dog watching TV: Tools looking at a POI after hearing “so tell me about part 93 airspace…”

Congrats! Is that a Apache? Wanna come teach me how to fly ours when it comes out of restoration? I’m serious… I got 6.9 hrs in a piston powered multi, 1.5 of them were a Ford Trimotor! The rest my ATP checkride. Zero in a Piper…. Help!!

 

[Daleandee]

You are the man ... X9!

Cool beans!

Congrats go forth and prosper.

Sure! It won't take many hours to learn though . Is it being restored in Montana by chance?

I love the big old Piper twins! Gentle beasts

 

[Tantalum]

Congrats by the way! I'm 3-0, hopefully knock out four and five by the end of February

 

[Tools]

Nope, we are doing it. Two zero time motors, all new panel, albeit not all glass….

Gear all revamped. Cowlings a mess, but serviceable.

Will be very nice. Intend to use it in the flight school. I gotta get my MEI add on.

You serious about coming and spending a week with me?

 

[Mtns2Skies]

You serious about coming and spending a week with me?

You wouldn't need more than a day . Depends where "here" is, but maybe!

 

[Tools]

Well, gonna need some time on the motors, so I could fly up and spend a couple days in Oshkosh? That work?

The Apache especially has that whole steampunk thing going for it. My uncle has one he's working on. Have yet to see it in person.

I think this rating I did won the steampunk award . All the way back at Checkride #7. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/splish-splash.138115/

Flying the Apache was cool... Flying my Skywagon is cool, but nothing comes close to the twin Beech, that was the flight(s) of a lifetime.

No it isn't .

It's a 160, performed pretty decent OEI
