Please tell us you don't use that venturi tube to "prove" lift by showing how faster velocity means lower pressure? :)

We used to do this in the Caribbean where we needed to be in a certain point to comply with 135.183. Clearance was always funny though. "Cleared into St Maarten airport via RTE2 STT, PJM 343 radial 34DME, direct". And then telling every over-friendly center controller we're unable to accept...

Yeah I missed that one, I just read Gregs post mentioning "Caravan" and it stuck in my brain.

And just making sure, it's dual instruction received, not some Mokulele-style "SIC" time?

As long as 10 hours of your Caravan time was dual then yes, you're good to go.

Most of the time they barely break even. They are $150k planes.

Ok, I get it every time when talking to clearance when flying VFR. "Cleared out of the class B airspace via fly heading 123, maintain VFR at or below 3500" or something similar.

...VFR-on-top? ...Option? ...out of the Bravo

You do realize that it's a better business for the flight school to rent the Arrow for $125 an hour. The G1000 172's are horrible for business, but they are required because of the market requirements. The Arrows usually give better profit margins for the flight schools. Try flying an Arrow...

What on earth are you talking about? How does this raise the price? You still have the option of doing it in an Arrow. Just like before. But now flight schools that don't have an Arrow can also do commercial training. And yes, every commercial pilot should have at least 10 hours dual in a...

Because a lot of them come from China, are forced by their parents to be pilots, and are actually scared sh*tless to fly an airplane. Well known phenomenon everywhere in FL.

Why is it supposed to make it cheaper and easier? It's already too easy as it is. I really don't understand what you're trying to say. 10 hours in a complex is what, $100-200 more than in a 172? And you said the availability is better. What exactly is the issue you have? You can do the 10 hours...

With a $2mil budget, PC12 is out. Only PC12's in that budget are old very high time legacy birds, and they will eat you alive in maintenance. We had one with $200k of unscheduled maintenance, in one week.

You're off by 3-5 years btw. Frontier has no EMB jets. Republic has nothing to do with Frontier today. Republic is a much better ride than Frontier in their "shiny new Airbusses". Republic sold Frontier years and years ago.

As long as you planned to complete the flight within legal hours, you are fine. It's not like FAA says you've got to divert and land immediately if you are about to go over.

Why don't you spend the 10 hours in complex learning the maneuvers, and then just hit the checkride in it? Saves 10 hours...

Vegetable or canola oil, NOT olive oil. Olive oil burns before the pan is hot enough. But they really are the easiest thing in the world to cook.

They are the easiest thing to make in the world. This article will change your life: https://www.seriouseats.com/2015/08/the-food-lab-how-to-sear-scallops.html

6, actually. But it was a casual quick dinner so our dinner table wasn't much to look at :) 2018-07-28_10-18-11 by , on Flickr
