thats the way to do it, my rv-4 has a 360, constant speed, skyview and is under 1000 lbs

wouldn't that be a methane system?

im sure that dr bruce will give his expert wisdom here, but if there is a diagnosis and an insurance code to go with it, i would bet it is a least a deferral and okc review.

simple answer. good quality switches look like switches always have. the auto world has a lot of cool looking switches that are questionable quality but look real cool. the experimental world has shifted to add every option and look like a high end automobile, at the cost of weighing a ton and...

when i was flying the ATR, we were still using type 2. the shear speed was right in the rotation range and it made for a real interesting pitch change right after the mains came off do to the shear.

hope you don't have to deice at rsw, i don't think there is even a truck on the field. i had frost one morning in KGNV one morning and had to wait until the sun came up and melt it to leave.

2 that i own, the RV-4 and the champ. 469 that i have access to at work.......

wrong. you cannot act as pic because you do not have the endorsement. however, you can log pic as sole manipulator of the controls as you are rated single engine land. 61.51 Except when logging flight time under § 61.159(c), when the pilot is the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft...

i ordered my kit over 20 years ago and probably not even orders any parts for 4 years and still got the letter. they are covering all the based legally.

sorry. it was not magically reversed. it was changed in the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, the bill stated, A flight instructor, registered owner, lessor, or lessee of an aircraft shall not be required to obtain a letter of deviation authority from the...

yes, but that is just an interpretation by the faa, not a ruling by a judge. notice how it is worded, "We agree that, for purposes of section 61.57(b), an authorized instructor providing instruction in an aircraft is not considered a passenger with respect to the person receiving instruction...

i beg to differ, a carbon cub kit is 93k and they have no trouble selling kits. the fact of the matter is that vans kits were under priced all along. yes, this lead to them being the largest kit supplier in the world, but when the order book got over a year, that opened them up to being hit hard...

that interpretation from the FAA has more to do with the contradiction of the fars with themselves. the way they worded it is interesting. the have pretty much made an instructor a required crew member without really saying it to make other fars that would apply not apply without changing the...

what i said is completely correct legally. this comes down to the definition of PIC. 61.1 Pilot in command means the person who: (1) Has final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of the flight; (2) Has been designated as pilot in command before or during the flight; and...

the cfi is the PIC as a student pilot cannot carry a passenger, so if the student was PIC they would be in violation of the regs. however, even though the CFI is the PIC the faa would probably at least want to have a discussion with the student to at least determine what he was taught about the...

thats a twin comanche right?

dangerous move, once the tailwheel bug bites you the only cure it to buy one!

couple of issues here that should really concern you and your cfi should know this. 1. strobes in-op. the FAA issued a loi (letts letter 2017) stating that the strobes and beacon are parts of the same anticollision system. even if the system is not required by the regs, if installed it must...

nope. alive and well in the KFMY tower, and still has a short fuse. not to defend him, he has gotten riled at me a couple of times, but FMY is a very busy airport under the class c airspace for KRSW and only a couple of miles north of the surface area of KRSW. someone not knowing what they are...

true for a flight review. however, for an IPC you are exercising your privileges of your CFII, not your CFI.
