    Passed both CFI written exams but low FIA score

    If you want to spend some money, go take the AGI or IGI exam. Turn it and your FOI in for a ground instructor cert. you’ll likely never use this cert again, but then you don’t have to pack the FOI results into your Cfi Oral… Either way the oral will cover some FOI topics.

    How long did the commercial maneuvers take to master?

    I had to go back and look. 15-20 hours, although some of that was just BBQ runs where I practiced some of the maneuvers on the way to/from. Probably 10hrs dual total, including signoff for ride. The key is to compress the practice into a shorter amount of time, once things click it is a...

    IFR XC of shooting 3 different kinds of approaches with NA

    1. Why wouldn’t you just do the Localizer circle to runway X and not have to deal with explaining why you did two ILS approaches? 2. If the approach is NA at night, I wouldn’t use it at night on an ifr flight plan. Not saying atc wouldn’t clear you for it….

    61.129 Commercial instrument time

    The easiest answer is to have the original instructor correct their entries to include the 61.129 references, assuming that it will be true. And of course, Assuming they are still around. You only need 10hrs to reflect 61.129, so include the ifr xc and a few training flights and you’re done...

    All three Las Vegas airports will charge a $3,000 landing fee during F1 races

    You all know there are ramp issues most weekends in Vegas? LAS typically wants a reservation at the FBO, North Vegas has its own space issues. The ramp space hasn't kept up with the growth. As for the race itself, $3k landing fee is the least of your issues.

    Help me understand ATP requirements

    Ha. Other than the two minutes to review the atp written results, it wasn’t even mentioned. I don’t think I was any more stressed because of it, since all types are to atp standards anyway.

    Help me understand ATP requirements

    You can’t just go take the atp multi written anymore. You must do a ctp course first ($4-6k), and employer will pay for this normally, then you’ll do your written and you can do your atp checkride as part of your first type rating.. I went thru this as well recently, including leaving IT after...

    Getting low and slow on short short final

    105mph (blue line) in the old Seneca has always been my preference, until landing is committed. It sure doesn’t take much effort to slow to 90-95 when you put the flaps in..
