Let's hope that FSDO 19 inspector doesn't get to Alaska anytime soon. All the 207, Cherokee 6 and Caravan Part 135 operators there R&R seats nearly every flight. We have a seat removal chart that shows the new W&B for each seat configuration that gets filled out each time that changes. Caravan...

If you are OK with the costs, Atlantic is the place at LAS. I've used Atlantic in a piston single and been happy with them. Location is everything. You can easily walk to The Strip when the weather is nice. Short taxi or Uber rides most anywhere as well. I have used Signature LAS as well and had...

IIRC, that's how Rialto in SoCal was closed even with grant assurances.

With only about 35 stops in between KSEE and downtown, the trip takes forever. Plus, the Gillespie trolley stop is a fair walk from the actual airport. If you have bags to carry or are going to be there much after dark, it's anything but convenient. Really, Gillespie is NOT recommended if going...

"Lycoming uses the following formula to determine maximum oil consumption: (. 006 x BHP x 4 )/ 7.4 = maximum quart/hour consumption. This means that, for a typical 180-horsepower engine, using one-half quart per hour is acceptable to the manufacturer." Quoted from an AOPA article 5 yrs ago. But...

There is one Supermarket in downtown Juneau. The ravens hang out in the parking lot and follow you to the door of the market and then back to your car when you leave. They'll jump on your car looking for a handout or an unattended bag of chips. I find them to be a nuisance. Unlike eagles, at...

You mean like Fire Roasted Tomatoes? Or something like that.

Call Boyce Bingham at 907-789-4045. He may be able to help although he does mostly wheel instruction/tours. But I do know sea/floatplane instruction in Juneau is virtually non-existent.

Exactly what i did. The guy I worked with had done a fair number of CFI students and had a very good syllabus for getting it all completed.

My student didn't show, but I'm gonna go fly and charge him anyway. Maybe charge double as a no show fee. :p:D

There's a red and white one that often comes through Juneau in the Summer. IIRC, it has Canadian registry and used for fire suppression.

Same. Went to the nearby airport and through the door that said "Flight School" on it.

Check your PMs.

Yup. And 2 where I knew the pilots went in the trees lost both pilots. Pax survived. And one of those others didn't make it back to the runway. Landed about 200 yards short. I was working there the next year when the same plane went into Auke Bay. Did they ever tell you why the engine quit 3...

If $485 is the RT price, that's pretty good to/from SEA and JNU. In non-Covid times, that's a one way fare. Best of luck with your medical needs. Hope it all works out.

Or have the front baggage door an a 207 come open in flight. That never happens. :rolleyes::D

I have a private student right now using King Schools and I'm impressed with it. My son used King for his private instrument and passed the knowledge tests easily. To be honest, I don't really have a favorite. They all seem to work.

Single pilot part 135 flying in Alaska always = Summer weight loss for me. Then the winter "coat" just sorta grows back when the tourists leave and the weather turns. :eek:

Reported. :D

I use Lightspeed Sierras in the PC12 and they're great.
