the example provided in AC 61-65 is: Date Signature 1234567

Because training towards a Private Certificate is not the same as training towards a Commercial Certificate. This was clarified in the Murphy Interpretation in 2011.

Its a terminology thing. the areas of training required in 61.129 do not exactly match the training required in 61.65. In practice, they are done, but its not implicit because the regs don't match. IMO you do not need 10 hours of training on 61.129 areas. you need 10 hours of instrument...

yes, solo is solo. Dont mix/match PDPIC/Solo time. Watch the Takeoff AND Landing requirements at night. I've had a few come up short from flights where they took off during the day but landed at night. 2hr day & night XC's need to be post-Private Pilot training Make sure you have some...

I wouldn't base your opinion entirely on yesterdays conditions. I was coming back from Hamilton, TX yesterday and the turbulence with the wind and thermals was above average gnarly the whole way. I was rocking and rolling all the way from liftoff until the plane was in the hangar.

Had a nice flight in Kansas this morning!

Great airplane. I have several hundred hours of 182RG time but I'm in Wichita.

To add ASEL to a Private Glider rating, you'll have to meet the 61.109 flight experience requirements for PP-ASEL. For the most part, the only "help" you'll get is that you can use your glider total time towards the 40 hour total time requirement. You'll still need 20 hours of dual instruction...

Along with the 5hrs night and 10 towered takeoffs & Landings

Yes it will count, but make sure the "solo" xc and rest of the 10 hours "solo" time was also done PDPIC.

in college I flew a compass equipped Flybaby from Ames, IA to Beaumont, KS for lunch. 292.4 nautical direct, although I doglegged to Gardner on the way down. I didn't actually make it back although thats another story...

Yay. I've had my 120 for just over a year. Have put 193 hours on it! It's been a great solo commuter. Occasionally i'll take a passenger for a ride and have done a few XC's with my wife.

No it's a Cameron V90. 90K cubic feet.

I bought a balloon a few days ago. Made a flight in it yesterday. Landed in the same field I launched from after flying about a mile out and return!

ASI's are required to hold a second class.

The cause was terrible decision making...which was also apparent in his medical history

Senator Ted Cruz sponsored the "Commercial Balloon Pilot Safety Act of 2017" which added a paragraph into the 2018 FAA Reauthorization bill which required the FAA to make this rule. The Lockhart pilot had a history of DUI's which he'd never reported and would've if he'd had to make medical...

*in general* i see an almost direct correlation between knowledge test score and how well the test goes. This surprised me as when I was instructing full time I really didn't put a lot of stock into the score. I semi-joked that anything over 70 was just showing off.

For me, the paperwork takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on how well organized your logbook is and if there's any maintenance issues with the airplane. ground portion ranges from 1:20 to 2:00 of actual questioning depending on how long you spend looking up answers, unsure you are...

Hi, DPE here. The Letter of Discontinuance gives you credit for the areas completed until a specific date, 60 days. It says, and 61.43(f) requires, that If application is made by that date the letter may be used to show completion of those areas. If you need to make a new application due to the...
