For my practical, I was advised by my CFI that the DPE that was doing my examination liked to see everything organized. So I tabbed mine. And got to the conference room about 30 minutes ahead of time to have my chart(s) with XC all laid out, W/B calcs all laid out on the table, weather briefing...

When I got my private many years ago, I had a version of the FAR/AIM all tabbed out and highlighted (highlit??).... about a week before my practical, the new version came out. I spent time to re-tab and re-highlight sections. When I showed up for the oral, the DPE was very very impressed that I...

bhahaha nah I miss the fun over here

Now I know the reason I can't see any of @eman1200 's posts.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

With your low time and no IR - others have said it, but - InSuRaNcE. I just got a quote for $5,200 / year for our Arrow to add another person with around 40 hours PIC, no IR, zero retract/complex. Current premium (with just two of us - lots of hours PIC/retract/complex and > IR) is around...

Aileron and flap seals, wingtips (I forget which ones)... we bought the Arrow with all these mods installed. Would have to look back in the logs to remember the specific manufacturers.

I like it ok enough. It wouldn't be my first choice for an autopilot, if I were starting from scratch. But it couples well to the 650xi and the Aspen. It's great for cross country flying, for sure. Holds the magenta line or a heading like a champ. Flies GPS-based approaches very nicely, too...

Because the analog ASI is in mph and everything in the POH and placards for this airplane is in mph... It's a 1969..... so old that knots hadn't even been invented yet :D (damn my wife will kill me for this, she was born in the same year)

I use 24" 2400 rpm until I climb too high to maintain 24" then it's just wide open. Can't see the MP in this pic, but here's the tas of 172 mph which is around 150 ktas.

As an Arrow owner - mine is a '69 PA28R-200 - I would say no. Now.... if it were an arrow with the 200 HP.... Nah, still no. Yeah, I get around 150 tas around 6k' - 7k', but the difference in speed just isn't worth it for you coming from an already capable cross country aircraft. Like someone...

Damn that would have been good... ended up playing golf on my day off.... but yeah it's been a long time since I have tasted the amazing burger from Suzanne's.... Bun. Burger. Cheese. Bacon. More cheese! Bun. - perfect. Out of town for a bit next few weeks for vacation and kid sports... but...

That's a great price. I got quotes in the $600-$700 range for standard pallet 48x40 no more than 48" high non-stackable. Which I'm willing to pay since Texas Air Salvage wanted like $1400 a piece (plus shipping) for two roached-out seats that would have to be re-cushioned/reupholstered after...

Thanks, guys. I called the local UPS store and got some info. Also called a local (to the seller) freight company and they were very helpful. Started up a quote on uShip and it looks to be reasonable. Seller is going to put everything on a pallet, take measurements and snap some pics today. Plan...

Thanks! I didn't even know such a thing existed.... I'll use le google to find some brokers... do you remember who you used? Looks like FedEx wants around $700 to ship but needs to be on a pallet. (that's using my estimated weight for these things... seller needs to send me that info still)

Wanted to see if anyone has any advice on shipping bulky items across the country. Here's the situation - we are buying two front seats and one rear (bench) seat from a PA28R-200 Arrow that's getting parted out in CA. We're in VA. Seats need to get from CA to VA. We are responsible for arranging...

Exactly the same here. Performance Plus FF and basic GP only for database concierge to the 650xi via FS510. Had a free sub to GP a long time ago and used it for a bit... then switched to FF and never looked back. No particular reason - just like the interface and operation of FF better than GP.

I remember my first XC to a new airport after getting my private... I had an excellent CFI, did very well on the checkride... Even so, I remember feeling similar to OP - a bit nervous, a bit unsure, etc. To get over that, I did what many others mentioned already - studied the sectionals and...

Here's the ATC compilation from VASAviation - The best part of this is around 1:30 when JBU 2836 reads back the line up and wait instruction.... She got a front-row view of things and couldn't hold back laughing during the readback.

Wondering the same about their in-house repairs as well as their DIY kit they sell. We are in a situation where our KX-155 (com/nav 2) display is failing and are looking at options. I emailed the folks at https://www.kx155display.com/ and am waiting for a response. Certainly cheaper than the new...

Which is why I still refer to myself as a student. :rofl:
