in my center (San Juan CERAP), we still use paper strips. for aircraft coming from foreign facilities, all non-radar, we receive estimates over the phone anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour ahead of the time the aircraft should cross our boundary. Aircraft coming from the Miami Center sectors...

I found my bonanza on FB marketplace. I probably wouldnt sell a plane there though.

I found the same issue with Puerto plata when I brought my bonanza down in January. Exhuma was great, in and out quick. We actually just sat around relaxing for a bit. We got to MDPP later than we wanted and were hoping for a quick turn. It didn’t happen and they didn’t let us depart VFR because...

C172 for about 110 hrs (about 15 of those in a 195hp Hawk XP), and now in our new-to-us F35 Bonanza. it was a pretty easy transition

thanks for sharing your knowledge with a rookie! still waiting on borescope pictures from the mechanic, but at this point I am going forward with the purchase. the plane is perfect for us, and while it needs some work and TLC, the seller worked with us to get the price down to within our reach...

I’m working on getting more info from the mechanic. I’ll post it here when I do

I am in the process of buying an E-series bonanza. the mechanic doing the pre-buy said that the number 6 exhaust valve is burnt. but he also said the compression was 73/80. the engine just had a top end overhaul last year (about 40 hours ago). My understanding of the work done is that one...

Too bad you are on the other side of the island! We were trying to find a partner, but even that has been tough

@Freefalling , where on the island are you? I am in the same position (minus the primary student status). I have been looking for something for my wife, dogs and I to fly around and explore the Caribbean. I talked to an insurance company here on the island that said they wouldn't insure...

Thanks. Ok, thanks. That helps clear things up for me Yeah, for the price of the aircraft, I would be able to put a GNX375 in it and get adsb and ifr gps. I don’t have my instrument rating yet. But I want to be able to train in whatever I end up buying

I have seen some aircraft with a nav radio built into the CDI. who makes them? and are they IFR capable? A plane that I am interested in has 2, and says its VFR, so I am curious what it would take to make the plane IFR capable.

I saw the same plane for sale and thought it was way overpriced, but I will admit I am no expert. even if you replace the wings, you still have an airframe with over 10K hours. $29k for a 10k hour airframe with a 430W and 1660 on the engine

Sooo..... A normal landing?

I saw it on their facebook page, although I can't find the page now...

I remember seeing moultonboro just changed a few months ago. They decided to go private. The owner said nothing will change from a pilots perspective though.

In training with my CFI, set parking brake, did my run up, taxied to the runway. I thought it felt weird. Pulling to the left. So we turned around and taxied to maintenance. On the way, I realized my mistake, so the instructor said “I’ll go in to the bathroom so we don’t look like idiots.” I...

Everyone goes through enroute at the academy (edit- CERAP controllers go through enroute. there are still terminal and enroute courses) those who end up going to approach once they get here eventually go back to OKC for a month of radar training. as of last year they made it so every slot is...

I would encourage anyone even remotely considering it to put your application in asap. I went through the academy last year. It was fun, challenging, and frustrating, but I got through it and I am now a trainee at San Juan Cerap in Puerto Rico. The hardest part of the whole thing is being a 4...

If I were still in the area, I would be interested! I talked to a guy last time I was home who had a Grumman tiger at PSM and they were considering a 3rd partner. Talk to Travis if you want to get in touch with them. He was doing the annual when I was visiting
