Parachutes are required in Competition and basically all semi-modern gliders have seatpans that are designed for the pilot to be wearing a parachute. It was a South African glider that had the rudder cable break on a flight out of Moriarty.

Salt City Aviation is a club at KHUT with a Grumman Yankee and Tiger. There is also a 152 and a 172 for rent up the road at McPherson. My glider club south of Hutchinson provides low cost low speed training. There are many options at different price points in Wichita.

prelim report says both wings found ~200 feet from fuselage. main pin still in the fuselage carry through box.

Any idea where the wings went??

Any DPE can pick up the discontinuance. If the 60 days expire, the discontinuance no longer provides credit and you'll have to repeat the entire test.

i turn off the primary screen usually. some schools still train with the g1000 ahrs/adc covers and if so i'll use that.

Nice to get an update. Let me know if you need an IPC :)

Or no incidents/accidents that cause public outcry and get the attention of the local Congressman...

When did you get your CFI Ed? From memory the current requirement is two FOI areas, three technical subject areas, and a lesson on a maneuver. Impressive to knock that all out in less than a couple-three hours minimum. My CFI oral exams usually end up 5-6 hours start to finish but that...

It's two separate checkrides. There's no allowance to combine.

They went to 30deg on the 152 but never on the 150

And the travel air that began this thread is not a Part 23 airplane. That's a fun side at discussion with the MEI candidates. There are only four criteria for a CAR3 twin to determine VMC: Max takeoff power Aft CG Flaps Takeoff Gear up
