It was a lot of fun, and I would do it again. I flew around Bonaire for an hour. If I had the time, I could have taken a slightly longer flight to Curacao for a touch and go (probably 1h45 to 2h, round trip). I‘ll look them up when in Curacao and take another flight, and hopefully make the...

It appears inline with the logbook entry.

I’m set up with these guys for a flight tomorrow, thanks to your information. I was looking for an air tour of the island and my Google-fu came up empty…

Delta Air Lines also has a pilot academy that can do the checkride, if your done with the requirements. Their class schedule and availability is on their website. You may have already completed many of the course topics, but if timing is tight, it could be an option...

Flight Insight did a nice video walkthrough about efficient training for meeting the Commercial time requirements, to help folks walk through the regulations. He also walks through the integration of IFR time and instrument training to meeting the requirements of 61.129(a). That said, you...

It's the 2010 Theriault legal interpretation. It's Paragraph 3 (after the introduction paragraph). Training for the purposes of one certificate cannot be used for a different certificate. Note that this is not the same as training for two certificates at the same time. It's less "concurrent...

I’m a CFI/I who meets the qualifications, but I’m located near Atlanta. I’m happy to be a “last resort” if you don’t have anyone local.

You’ll have to take the CTP course for the ATP-Multi (see FAR 61.156). If your objective is to pass the written, use Sheppard.

Sure, ish. Gainesville is untowered and less busy than PDK, so the 20 minutes of additional driving could save you time and money when you’re in the plane, on the ground, with the engine running.

As legacy VOR locations are being decommissioned, the FAA is reworking them to provide DME (i.e. the ATL VOR/DME is now the GSU DME). The FAA's NextGen program specifically calls for adding DME-only facilities as VORs are replaced to provide location information to aircraft without the need for...

That we know this at all is a strong indicator that Cayla is doing good work in social media marketing. My criticism is that AOPA, as the historical voice of general aviation, seems to be focused on areas that don’t seem to benefit the piston-powered ground pounder world. For that, I also...

Times are changing… It used to be that an accounting team from one of the big four would select the winner. Now it’s given to “exciting digital marketing firms with proprietary algorithms” to pick the winner. I cynically wonder if the selection process puts a finger on the scale towards a...

You can download KML tracks for flights from ADSBExchange and import those to flights in your logbook. I’ve done that a couple times when I didn’t record the log in MFB or ForeFlight in the airplane.

I pulled the figures from the last 5 IRS form 990s: 2018 - 300,000 2019 - 300,000 2020 - 280,000 2021 - 290,000 2022 - 300,000

Is there still a restaurant on the field in Bessemer, AL (EKY)? I think Cullman, AL, also has a restaurant.

I'm interested. Maybe {place} on {date}?

My best success is by using the fewest number of filters. Give it a shot by filtering only on the model (B23). I pulled a list of them, and the relevant ADs seem tied to Hawker Textron Aviation as the manufacturer.

I'd encourage you to rethink the Part 61-vs-141 school option. There is a Part 61 flight school near me that has a defined curriculum (i.e. think "zero-to-hero"), so you're learning in a very structured environment. There are regular ground school classes comprised of student cohorts that...

I'm an Atlanta-area flight instructor and fly out of PDK and FFC (arguably among the busiest towered and non-towered GA airports in the country). Dekalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) is the closest to Buckhead has a bunch of flight schools. You can spend some time waiting on departure, but it's not...
