I've exceed that in a seneca and a baron

If you are inverted, a climb prop becomes a dive prop

Good times indeed :)

As long as you understand it’s not needed anymore :) but yeah for the old guns you absolutely would want to do that

There is really no reason to take the Basic vs taking the Advanced Ground instructor test.

I meant a reliable Semi Auto Shotgun, vs a reliable pump :) You can find very cheap examples of each, if that is the goal and I'd pick the pump everytime.

Don't spend the money on the semi auto, they cost a fair amount more than a pump. And within a box of shells you will find a pump is plenty quick. 12/20 ga is the only options and for shooting skunks it really doesn't matter. If you are going to use it well into old age get the 20ga, if you...

Been there a few times, good food and good views. Food to go if its a quick turn :) TAC Air is great.

How about only one sticky, "How to search" it's just a link to Google with a site:pilotsofamerica.com at the end

So you added sport pilot SES onto your private cert? It would have never occurred to me to do that.

Sounds like you have your first "next job" figured out. At least the scope of the work, if not the solution.

So your theory is that the DPE is in this for the money?

What **** software are you using to study with?

It is only double if you do it in the same number of hours (time) in the twin, as you would in the single. I have yet to see that happen. It is a pretty good step, and there is a learning curve there.

I'd just point out, that just because a DPE barely makes his yearly requirement. Doesn't really mean that he is available. Many of our local DPE's have day jobs.

The FAA shouldn't be involved in pricing at all. And I would argue shouldn't be limiting the supply of DPE's either, which they currently do.

If it wasn't for that day job, you could get to work in a hurry.

What would you suggest as an alternative? Back when Checks were a thing, no DPE in their right mind would accept one. Now we have credit cards with surcharges, I suppose everyone could just raise their prices to account for swiping though.

I'm just saying, that there are checkrides that happen where applicants apply without the required pre-requisites for the rating. Actually it happens a lot, sometimes they actually pass and get through. The credentials of the signing off CFI are probably the least looked at item. It's clear...

Right, that couldn't be a requirement because there are Multi pilots out there without IFR ratings. Those could obviously be taught by Multi Instructors without the II all day long. But what you can't do, is take a checkride as a single engine instrument-airplane pilot, and add multi with...
