    good flying schools in Phoenix AZ

    We may not be what you're looking for, but we are located at P19 (7 miles west of CHD). if you want to do something at a fun, like familyk mom & pop send me a PM. We have two Warriors, and a Decthalon if you want to do any tailwheel while you're in the valley. If you *need* a big flight school...

    Escrow and title search and common sense.

    I've bought/sold around 10 airplanes, and every time used an escrow company. Why? Because it's easier and less risk involved. It's worth the $500 alone for them to deal with the registration. If you even cough on it wrong they'll send it back... probably three or four times. It's more than worth...

    3658 NM Western Cross Country Help

    It's important to keep small items hostage for times like these. When we're in KRAP we do offer mountain training in your aircraft. It's not the full taste of the Rockies but we can do a lot with what we have in the Black Hills.

    3658 NM Western Cross Country Help

    We sold the 310 and miss her every day :( But if I could convince the new owner to bring it down I'd be up for a formation flight in her! And I do agree, the FBO at KRAP is quite nice, and good merchandise too ;)

    Twin Cessna insurance question

    For a pressurized cabin class twin I would expect sim school annually. I'm honestly not sure if they'd require any in-aircraft time since you have had some time in them prior but it's been awhile, if they do they may just make you fly them solo instead of with a CFI. But anymore it seems like...

    OSH 2021

    I was bummed that they had to cancel the night airshow on Wednesday because we had to leave Thursday.. oh well, hopefully next year. Through work we had a free house available to us but it was up closer to Green Bay which was a bit of a hike but hey, it was free! And GRB had hangar (we booked...

    Owning and renting your aircraft through an FBO?

    Our flight school has two leasebacks. As the school we keep $25/hr. We manage the maintenance but we don't pay for any maintenance/tiedown/hangar costs. The aircraft are covered under our insurance policy (we have better coverage than they had as individuals too) but they pay their portion of...

    Turboprop Q

    The demonstrations in the sim are a scary and harsh reality for what would happen without autofeather between rotation and blue line. I'm 99% sure on the checklist we use it says under cruise "Autofeather - Off/As desired", not just "off"

    Taking your dog flying

    We brought ours home in our 310. She now has probably 200 hours... I need to update her logbook. We used mutt muffs and as she got older she tolerated them more. We sold the 310 though and a big part of the reason was her.. I felt bad putting her in an airplane 6+ hours once a week when it was...

    Raptor Aircraft

    He is in for a very rude awakening. Crossing the Rockies is nothing like the "mountains" in Tennessee. And I say "mountains" because not long ago I was flying out east and someone told me to be careful of the terrain. What terrain?! I don't know much about Peter's background but I hope for his...

    CREATION OF A FLIGHT SCHOOL

    You need an attorney and an accountant. While this forum provides good advice, if you're wanting a business you need to start out on the right foot and get it done correctly and by professionals.

    Taboo thread - How do we afford to fly?

    It's important in some professions that people are open and honest about what they charge as contractors. Especially in aviation where some folks are desperate to work for free. On all the FB groups and such people openly discuss their day rates, ask for advice on them, check salaries and...

    Twin or Single

    I'm surprised no one asked yet, what's your mission? I did trips in the 310 I never would have done in the 182. And I do trips in the Conquest I never would have done in the 310. It's a matter of mission and how often you need to complete it.

    You guys- I've got a jet

    I really want a patch that says “I survived the Stanfield Stack”. I was in Bend last week in a turboprop. Granted, a Pilatus can do 85 knots down final or 160+ down final depending on what’s required for the situation. Yeah the place was busy but everyone was courteous and more than...
