They are still open — I did my cfi spin cert with them a few weeks ago. The owner Damien DelGazio is incredibly busy. I usually have no tolerance for poor customer service — but I’d make an exception in his case. He’s a black-belt/ninja level pilot, and a genuinely nice guy. While doing the...

After I pass a check ride, I always gift the cfi who gave my sign off an aviation related gift, preferably something they expressed interest in. Glider lesson, helicopter lesson & float plane time.

First — I think you’ve created an excellent plan and would have no problem flying with someone as thorough and thoughtful as you. You plan is great & with you’re thoughts on backups & fallbacks, you know it will work for your mission. I can offer some minor advice, but this is more personal...

You take off in a 172 with flaps-30 ?

So I went flying a 172s with another pilot this weekend. It was a 2008 SP model. I noticed the other pilot used flaps-10 on every takeoff. I didn’t think much about it, but he also didn’t cleanup until 700 AGL. When I asked why – he said his instructor had recommended this. Later, during a...

No -- not particularly knowledge (nor intelligent). Working on my CFI and one thing I detest is a teacher who says to me "just memorize this stuff". I always found it easier when there was an explanation I could understand. I've been parroting the four types of hypoxia since my Student Pilot...

Understood -- thanks

Sure -- all forms of hypoxia are dangerous, but CFI in training needs an explanation that makes sense to student pilots. Trying to-do better than "read this and memorize it".

Can anyone help me understand why the FAA classifies Carbon Monoxide poisoning as a form of hypemic hypoxia, while most of the scientific community classifies it as histotoxic hypoxia? And yet the FAA correctly classifies cyanide gas poisoning (from burning plastics) as histotoxic? Seems...

I just called Air Fleet and Certified Flyers. Air Fleet will only rent to students and only permit solo after 10-hours of training flights. All rentals must be flown from left-seat. Certified Flyers is much easier operation to work with, but they also do not permit flight from right-seat...

Northern NJ. Near Teterboro (TEB), Caldwell (CDW), Morristown (MMU), Lincoln Park (N07), Westchester (HPN), Greenwood Lake (4N1), Linden (LDJ). Not so close, but willing to travel to Andover, Sussex, Central Jersey, Blairstown.

Looking for GA trainer aircraft rental in NJ. Open to 172, 152, Warrior, Archer, etc.... I'm open to leaseback if you have one available. Working on my CFI, so I need to fly right-seat There is a real shortage of rental opportunities here. Plenty of flight schools willing to provide planes...

CFI in training here (busy working up lesson plans). A friend of mine is a DPE and we’ve been having a discussion about the type of flaps on a 172. According to the Skyhawk 172 S POH, the flaps are a single-slot design (page 7-13). I believe they are therefore Slotted flaps. My DPE friend...

Just to close this loop. I went with American Flyers to complete my Commercial. They offer a 'Finish Up' program that perfectly matched my needs. The program involves a ground review and one flight with a CFI to assess your current status. Afterwards, they put together a custom program to get...

Confirmed -- looks like they purchased on new cert yesterday afternoon.

Confirmed -- the cert has been revoked. Not sure why Edge is allowing it, but FF correctly is refusing the accept a revoked cert.

There's apparently revised guidance on this issued in 2018. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/Data/interps/2018/Oord-AOPA_2018_Legal_Interpretation.pdf It looks like an Instrument rating does not by itself guarantee...

I'd talk to another flight school. No where in the FARs does it say training can't be used to satisfy multiple requirements. That's insane. By that twisted logic, 61.129(a) calls for you to earn 250-hours total time. Are they suggesting the time you spent towards your private and towards your...

Bingo ! Thats the answer. Thanks
