We use a cleaning service company, that sends different people each time. We only have them come once a month, and the rest of the time we do stuff ourselves. They contacted us and let us know they weren't sending their people out for the foreseeable future. We're not sending money in to the...

I usually just move up from way behind to the next model. I had a 7 for ages. For the first time, I jumped, and I just jumped from the 7 to the 11, and I did it because of the camera. I'm very pleased with the quality of images on it, especially low light.

Can't answer your actual question, but I've flown in and out of there several times for work, and I always found it to be a nice enough place to be. Friendly folks, nice facilities, etc.

Played piano from age 5 on up. Used to play for school programs, churches, etc. Nothing professional.

I'm just going to have to die from it. I'm claustrophobic, and I *hate* stuff over my head. I tolerate oxygen masks only when I have to, and since I fly single pilot, I've even chosen to stay below a certain altitude so I'm not forced to wear it for an entire trip now and then.

That would be a good reason for me to punch someone in the cockpit.

FYI, he never saw nor signed a receipt--it went on a local account.

It's big in Indiana too...

And I still have time to lurk on pilot boards! :D Instructing is slow in the winter months. I bring in help in the summer months. It all works out pretty well!

Also not super typical, but I make a living as a pilot wearing a few different hats. My husband (Steve) and I operate flight schools at four small airports. So I instruct. I mostly focus on tailwheel, private, instrument, and when we have one, multi and MEI, and Steve does instrument...

I think you're awesome for even thinking about it. I have had a lot of students over the years who started off with fears, but really wanted to do it anyway. One student in particular I had would shake like a leaf for the first 10 hours. I never understood why they would want to keep coming...

Tailwheel training is just fun. It's given me a few grey hairs, but I love it anyway. Probably my favorite. Multi is enjoyable because they already know how to fly, it's not super tough or long term training with a lot of obstacles to overcome. We usually have fun with that. Private isn't as...

The MEI itself isn't an overly expensive add-on in and of itself. Three hours checkride prep required. The problem is that you have to have at least 15 hours of PIC time in a multi--ergo after you get your initial multi--before you can take the MEI ride. How you get that 15 hours can be...

I flew one of those too, thought it was the weirdest flying airplane I'd ever been in. Kept looking for the right LSA as that was obviously not it.

You can answer most of these questions if you read through the actual full final rule, including flying as a CFI, Special Issuance, when the clock starts on 4 years, etc.: https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/media/final_rule_faa_2016_9157.pdf

I'm sure you'd be a lovely female pilot. ;)

Lea, I'm a CFII and have been a professional pilot for 27 years now, (not airlines), and if you have any questions for me feel free to PM me.

You don't know me, but a serious piece of advice---the longer you take to get back in an airplane after a scare, the harder it can be to do it. If you want to go up with another pilot or instructor first, that's fine, but it really would behoove you to get back up quickly, if you don't want the...

Ditto, for what it's worth. I was singled out enough as "the girl pilot", and I just wanted to be A pilot. I want what I do and how I do it to stand on its own merits, and my gender has nothing to do with it. The only occasion in which I bend that a bit is when I was asked to participate in a...

For the record, nobody's sent me anything rude. From here. Of course I wouldn't expect anyone would, either...
