oh man, dealing with a prop strike inspection would cost more than the radios. LOL

He got me for the tug deal. As you'd think, the fact that "you" had a long posting history made me too willing to trust the ad, even though you and I haven't ever spoken. These scammers just ruin everything. Glad you got your accounts back/etc.

If the OP wants a personal plane to share and instruct in, I like the idea of finding 3 partners, forming a flying club and having the club own and operate the plane. You could become club instructor when you finish your CFI You could build a ton of hours and create the ability for a few...

I hope you're right. All of my premiums are up. partly because our state AG said insurance companies can't use credit scores because they are somehow discriminitory.... Airplane insurance is out there too, hopefully gets a bit easier.

I think it would likely be something about needing a transition for any new airframe in your non-owned coverage portion of your policy. I think that they would do this if they were seeing claims. I do wonder though, as a pilot, learning the instrumentation of a new plane to me is one of the...

the 6 passenger and additional GW is interesting. I'm sure a few planes can get STCd for reduced gross weight and it would solve a problem for me. I have a 3rd, but the sleep apnea SI is kind of a hassle, even though I'm 100% compliant, it's a lot of running around every year to collect the...

Feather that engine and continue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes, moreso than any plane, figure out your accelerate go, accelerate stop, etc for every config and look at it vs the runway planned.

THANK YOU!! TAXIING and maintaining centerline on the runway are absolutely my garbage areas! It's so like being a new student pilot again who has to really concentrate on taxiing smoothly. :) Ps, lot of friction on my throttles, I may reduce that a bit as I think I'm used to very smooth...

Looks like March 3, 1973 so it would only be new models (not units?) certified after that. So what, Diamonds? Anything else that had initial certification after that date?

Yes, and I can't imagine ever being able to afford a part 23 twin. Car 3 for me. :)

That's fantastic news!

Thanks Kaiser! Will do! (Busy at work this AM, but will add this question to my studying). What are you training in?

Flew another 2.9 and a few more hours of ground yesterday. Started OEI work - surprise to actually feel the difference between normal power, windmilling, feathered and zero thrust. Did a full feather cycle and restart, I would say the hardest was when it was starting to restart, but was...

I believe all planes should be twins…. Lol, I’m in love. 175 kts at 55% at 15 gph Holy crap is it fun Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll earn the endorsement while training. 2.6 hours in the plane today and 4 hours of ground. Started to get tired at the end of the 10 hour day. Try again tomorrow. Airwork pretty good, dissatisfied with landings exacerbated by very squiggly winds at the threshold that even challenged the...

I think it's important to build the discipline. You should always be aware of your W&B. If it's always you and one buddy going to lunch in the same plane, maybe not, but only if you have the presence of mind to redo W&B and takeoff performance from all the places you're going on a trip...

Thank you. I take this very seriously. I plan to buy and get another 30-40 hours of dual after I purchase (working on airplane transition and the IR) int he new plane, but I want to correctly earn the AMEL ticket next week, so I'm not taking it lightly.

Thank you, I will go back to Martin's videos too. the 5 degrees of bank corrects the sideskip created by the inoperative engine and rudder and aeleron forces needed to correct for the dead engine. not banking will increase VMC Factors affecting VMC: Weight Density altitude CG rudder area HP...

OOH, good ones Single engine, the wing with the inoperative engine stalls first as it has less airflow from the propeller wash. Blue line is VYSE, which is the IAS taht represents maximum climb performance when one engine is oeprating and the other is feathered. It is determined primarily by...
