Terminal Area Charts are your friend.

Fastening the seat belts is a safety function from both the military and 135 ops. As a passenger, you have to demonstrate at a bare minimum that you can operate the seatbelt by unfastening it, in order to fasten your seat belt initially. Having the seatbelts fastened from from the get-go is...

Have you looked at these guys? I don't have personal experience with them, but a fella at my former airfield did a complete panel & A/P upgrade with them, and was very happy with both quality and cost. It looks like they might be in your back yard, too.

MCI is not far behind them..as far as “sleepy.” Not quite what I’m used to with most my time at MDW and ORD, stateside at least.

OP - if you're already joining the Air Guard, let Uncle Sam train you how to fly. Even if you're just now enlisting, do your time, make a good name for yourself, get your degree (that the Guard should help / completely pay for) and go be a pilot in the AF. They're hurting for pilots - all...

Take the job nobody wants, and you’ll get the job everybody wants. That’s served me well. And….you make your own luck.

Yeah Kevin, try Lido in my work airplane…. o_O FAA / DoD charts work great for my bird and everything else I’ve flown for the last 20 years.

RC-12. It can tell your blood type from FL250…:eek:

From CSEL, CMEL, Airplane Instrument, ATP-ME - so far so good. I’m not trying to blow sunshine up anyone’s a**, just providing input to increase the success rate of an examinee looking for feedback.

Quite the contraire, the feedback from examiners was they wished all examinees showed up as prepared. It sets the tone, and sets you up for success.

Nate, I assure you I have had dozens of examiners in my career. In the civilian world, that advice has a success rate of 100%.

Develop your plan that encompasses all of the required tasks from the ACS. Make it sequential and efficient, logically sequenced. Hand the chronological checklist to your DPE and have a copy for yourself, to check off as the tasks are accomplished. Tell him this is the plan. He’ll appreciate the...

750 hours for military.

Didn’t watch the video (in a meeting), but I can get behind that!;)

Or you could roll like The Man with the Golden Gun: Republic RC-3 Seabee

Don't forget R-ATP mins. But the 25 hours of multi is hard and fast.

My last two tours had GCAs, and SOP dictated that upon RTB, we execute GCAs for their training, not so much ours (UH-60). They're good approaches, and can get you down. However, we did get to know the controllers' voices, and every now and again, when you got "that one," you knew it would be a...

A good shot of my dad and me. About 32,000 hours in that cockpit. I only get to lay claim to about 2k of ‘em.

What bag?... The thread title roped me in, but for my mission, a straight 414 or a 421C would be the next step. Or just go all-in and get the Citation X. But I would have to find that bag of cash first. Actually, lots of 'em.
