    Did your Mother not raise you correctly?

    Wouldn't horsehorsehorsehorsehorse be way harder to brute force?

    Multi Commercial add on, accelerated

    Fly By Knight in Hammond, LA. They got me scheduled within a few weeks (Traverse was 6 months out), and got me done in a few days and way under budget (around 1.5k including the DPE).

    Saratoga, A36, or....?

    No free lunches with those twins. First one is with two near-run-out engines, budget $100k to fix that. Second one is turbo, something you suggested to stay away from (for a good reason!), and third one is Canadian with no engine times listed, and based on that, I'd say it will have runouts too.

    You're listing some $700/hr planes there.

    Saratoga, A36, or....?

    With small kids, whatever you buy, make sure it has an actual door to the back, and club seating.

    United Embraer off runway in ME

    If they would've landed on the runway and then slid off it, I would agree with you. But landing far from the runway and crashing, that is very likely a kiss of death for your career, unless the NTSB finds some pretty compelling reasons to say this wasn't a pilot error. You can't say there are...

    United Embraer off runway in ME

    Look at the latest reports, and the pictures posted with the ground track. They were 100 ft off the runway when they touched down. Look at the pictures posted here and you'll see: https://www.facebook.com/45547021971/posts/10157145494791972/ They are approx. 100ft off but parallel to runway 01.

    Goodbye Foreflight :(

    And let's face it. This just gives us all another thread to derail!

    Foreflight is now Boeing

    If they want more corporate/airline customers, they need to drop the price. Foreflight is more expensive than Jeppesen. My previous shop went Jepp because Foreflight was more expensive, by a very large margin.

    United Embraer off runway in ME

    Yeah I'll wait for the official results too. I'd say it's pretty sure they will never fly 121 again, and that they were lucky no-one got killed. They weren't even close.

    Foreflight is now Boeing

    FD Pro X is a HUGE improvement over the previous versions. Still not perfect, but way, way better than FDP was.

    United Embraer off runway in ME

    With 3/4SM visibility and 100% dry snow covered runway, it's a challenging landing, but you'd expect that with a runway that has ILS, they would be at least within 100 feet of it.

    United Embraer off runway in ME

    It likely won't be an ASAP-only experience unfortunately. They didn't just "slide off" the runway. They didn't land on it in the first place. They completely missed it. This could have ended very, very badly.

    Written result affect on Oral

    Yes. Please know the answer before blurting out the question. Thankfully the rest of the oral went better than that :)

    Written result affect on Oral

    Just don't be an idiot, like, ahem, me. "So, do you remember what you missed on the written?" "Yeah, this one about SIGMET validity periods..." "So, what are they?" "Hmm... errmmm.... I don't know..." So at least try to go through the areas you were weak on.

    How long are the stripes?

    A lot of GA training is done on runways that are less than 4200ft long. The aiming point markers are 100ft long for those runways. That's probably where it comes from.

    St. Maartin, Whose been?

    Unfortunately the island is far from what it was pre-Irma. Sunset Bar is up and running but the heavy jets are a rare sight. The airport is still a temporary structure.
