What was the airport? I am curious how tight the terrain was to it. Emergencywise, call ATC, do what you need. Tell them how they can help.

ATC will not be allowed to do your approach+1000 senario. What they can do is vector you through a layer for a visual approach. However, they have a Minimum Vectoring Altitude (which isn’t published), and can vector you to that altitude to try to get ground contact…if you are IFR rated and in an...

Thanks for the excellent writeup! I too have been lax about using my fuel sticks sometimes. This encourages me to start doing it everytime. I do check my fuel caps myself when a lineman fills me. They often don’t get the full twist. My C170 has fuel gauges in the wing roots behind my line of...

Which airports? What are ya flying?

I wonder what the minimum vectoring altitudes are for those airports. Maybe could have called ATC to get through the layer.

I don’t have a license either. Do I need to get one? I just have airman certificates…and haven’t hit any barns lately.

I showed up to my 135 gig with 16 hrs in a Duchess. They took it from there.

Muskrat Fever!

I wouldn’t do more than 20-30 hours of that nonsense. Get an employer to take it from there.

OP needs to meet the farmer’s daughter…

Where can I place a deposit!

Did he build a new cowl??

It’s your logbook.

Talk to the employer to see what model aircraft they would consider acceptable. I assume he has a turbine Air Tractor, and around here the owners want 1500 hours of spray time to get covered in the turbine. Spray time. That means either you find someone that will stick their neck out for you...

Thanks for the Pirep. I like mustang island also. Easy day trip with a walk to beach. Wife and I drove to Padre a decade and a half ago. Had a great time then. It’s like Mexico light.

Bonanza or maybe a Cessna 195

I flew a few years before going full scale. Get a Horizon Hobby electric park flyer to start. Join a local flying club and buy used equipment from guys needing to unload. Saves alot of $$$. When the lipo batts came out, I bought guys old nitro planes for cheap and had alot of fun with them. Got...
