Has anyone flown up to Nova Scotia and if so, do you have a recommended itinerary?

I like this answer!

I talked to the local avionincs guy and they said about a hundred bucks to do the upgrade unless they installed it in which case it would be free. Can't really blame Garmin for this one as it was the government that added features to the ADSB IN weather, not Garmin. I imagine my Stratux will...

So now that we have cleared that up, I have a similar question but in reverse. My son called a different DPE to make an appointment for a single engine add on to his commercial. The guy asked him to send pictures of his log books to make sure he had his requirements. He said to the examiner...

Make sure of which flying goes into which category. I was the CFI for my son who did just this, an initial commercial multi engine without a single engine commercial. There was a rush to become qualified for a possible job and dad has a 310 soooo.... Anyway, be sure which flying goes into which...

So I'm guessing $$$?

I'd suggest another field of college study as well. There are much more useful degrees and an aviation education is available elsewhere for less

I was reading about an update to the 345x that is required to get the new expanded weather being sent up with adsb in. Is this a user type upgrade or do you have to take it to a shop?

They made the sale at wholesale with sportys pocketing the difference and paying my shipping. Had they even met me half way they'd have had more money in their pocket.

They don't realize it, but there attitude cost them. My wife wanted one for work, tried it out at the bose booth and was ready to buy. They wouldn't offer a show discount, wouldn't accept my cfi discount that I'd been saving for this, and wouldn't ship. We walked over to sportys and bought one...

Good! Just flew Wings (phl area) to RDU and back. Ils and Vor down there, GPS back home. I found this on the net this am: This request for interpretation regarding cross-country flight requirements for an instrument rating under 14 CFR § 61.65 of the Federal Aviation Regulations is answered by...

Are you allowed to stop on the 250 mile cross country for the instrument rating? On one hand, it appears not to be a x country if you don't fly more than 50 miles and land at the airport otoh, it doesn't really say that you can stop. Any thoughts?

My son would like to knock out his instrument rating in the Boulder/Denver area and is having problems scheduling an instructor. He gets one or two appointments a week and often they get canceled if the instructor gets something more interesting on his schedule such as a charter. He's met all of...

Thanks for your help everybody. I have a few places to start now. Also thanks to Ted and Adam for their phone time!

Thanks ,that suggestion came up. The question was asked a few days ago at twincessna.org but so far no one has offered anything up. How common is it to ask a seller to fly his plane 5 hours away so that you can get a pre buy?

The title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a mechanic that would be qualified to do a pre buy inspection on a Cessna 310R in Eastern PA. Anyone have any suggestions ?

I went to look at the plane today and I was very impressed. So much so that the idea of renting it to the general public kind of lost it's taste. Still thinking of instructing, I would be the main (only) instructor. I don't really need the tax write offs or the income (I would hope), looking for...

If I can resurrect and hijack this thread, any thoughts of this from the other side of the equation? I'm thinking about getting a 310R and putting it on leaseback with an fbo/flight school. I don't know if 135 is a possibility but I was thinking of offering my cfii-mi services as a way of...
