I had my Grumman AA5 under commercial rental insurance for rental and instruction. $35K hull value was $4700 per year. This was in 2022. I only did it for one year because I could never recoup the $$.

A buddy of mine sent me a text with the flightaware link. He said there were some SW guys on the Jax freq. that heard the whole thing and it was a sad conversation.

At first I read it as 8 quarts and hour! LOL. 1 quart every 8 hours is amazing!

It all depends on the dog. You are the best judge of that. Both of our dogs fly with us regularly in both pressurized and non pressurized aircraft.

Remember, the 76 year old passenger could have had a heart attack or some type of medical event sometime within 30 days and it would have been attributed to the accident.

Switch covers are probably not going to be an issue. There are "boiler plate" 135 documents that you can buy and it will help out a lot but at the end of the day, time is what it really takes. Here is a good example - I just bought into a partnership in an aircraft that came off a Part 135...

So you are a helicopter pilot…

@Doc Holliday are you a helicopter pilot by chance too? Back to conformity - as was mentioned, does the aircraft meet the TCDS. Something as simple as velcro could be considered out of conformity.

Conformity is usually what gets folks. Even on brand new aircraft.

Contact AIC and have them do your title work. They will track down the folks for the lien. Worse case, they will do a "quiet title" process with the courts which will take care of the lien. I have used them for several aircraft purchases.

I ran the aux tank dry one time when I had my Cherokee 6. I knew it was coming but my wife, who was asleep did not. I didn't know my wife could levitate but when the engine stumbled, she came alive like a woman possessed. From then on out I always left 1 gallon in the tank according to the...

It all depends on if it is set up as a composite radar. I have flown in areas that show red cells all over on the G3 X and the weather out my windshield is perfectly clear

If you can afford to repair and repaint, by all means fly through it…. It’s only rain right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Plenty of 135 planes out there flying Amazon packages to the Bahamas. This is nothing new.

I'd rather stick closer to land than be 100 miles from the closest shoreline. This is coming from a pilot who flies to the Bahamas monthly.

Two words - Risk Mitigation

As I posted. Also an exemption from the CFR 91.11: "Unless ATC authorizes an abbreviated flight plan" AKA Flight Following. This has been confirmed by the FAA ATM SOC part of the ATO. But then again, my experiences are most likely different than yours. I've never flown in the snow or in the...

Technically, you have to have a DVFR plan active but from my experience, if you have flight following and a code you are good to go. Outside of that, it's just a long way over water.

That re-enforces the statement that liabilities transfer upon the change in possession.
