    A friend has one in his Baron and I’ve always been impressed by it. Sorry to see it abandoned.

    Twin Training - VMC (Minimum Control Speed)

    I think most instructors do it by just holding their foot on the opposite rudder to limit travel.

    Updated the message description. Yes, it's still here. A couple of inquiries, but first come, first served.

    Is a four year degree still mandatory

    Ummm.....who was "lecturing" about passion? Perhaps the four-year degree requirement has something to do with reading comprehension.

    Is a four year degree still mandatory

    There's definitely a measure of Black Magic and a some luck that dictates some things. I see Captains at my airline that seem much sharper than some of the mainline guys I run across, but they're not getting the "the call". I'm happy I don't have to play that particular game.

    Chicago to Keys

    A weekend would be a challenge since you're talking at least 12 hours each way. Give yourself more time as leeway for weather and you'll have fun. I've flown a Jabiru Light Sport from Minnesota to Ft. Myers. It would have been only an hour more to Key West (which I've done in a Cherokee Six.)...

    Is a four year degree still mandatory

    "Worth it" is highly subjective. If you have a passion for flying it's definitely worth it. If you're just looking for job options, then maybe not. Even at the regional level you can hit six figures within 3-4 years these days. Senior major captains can easily hit $300K. I know of at least one...

    Is a four year degree still mandatory

    Do your flight training. Get a job as a CFI. Pick up a pipeline or banner job. Get 1,500 hours. Go to a regional. While there, being paid, start working through an online degree program at your pace as you can afford it. You need to build time anyway, so do it at an affordable pace. By the time...

    How to get out of a timeshare?

    I think we paid $59 for the $79 Jeep tour and got a free night...well free, minus the 30 minutes at the presentation, which actually lasted about 12 minutes because we're good at "No".

    How to get out of a timeshare?

    My wife and I did that in Sedona last April. Got a great jeep tour and a nice two bedroom unit for less than the cost of the normal Jeep tour. In turn, we agreed to the presentation the following morning. They realized within 30 minutes that we knew the game and were pros at saying "No". They...

    Be careful what you post.

    Makes me want to delete permanently my FB page now before anything ever arises. It helps that they're becoming the PC Nazies of the internet.

    The 7 Deadly Sins of Radio Communications

    Why do you think that would help? Why not simply announce YOUR position, and note you observe the Diamond on final. Why invite everyone within earshot to chime in and clog the freq?? I'll never understand #7. Bad comm technique.

    The 7 Deadly Sins of Radio Communications

    Related to this, I've begun adding how many minutes out we are when flying the jet. I think that's probably more helpful for other traffic that may be heading to the same airport. So a call 20 miles SE may sound like we're a long ways out but when I add "landing in 8 minutes" they get a sense of...
