    Professional Instrument Courses (PIC)

    Hey! Does anyone have any firsthand experience as a student with these folks? It looks like a great option for someone in a hurry. I am a part time CFII-MEI that flies a desk fulltime and I'm also a Dad to a 2.5 year old. I have an instrument student that has gotten into a pretty tight training...

    CFI-MEI without CFII - Limits??

    I have both CFII-MEI. No issues here. But as I train CFIs coming from many different walks of flying life (some with insane more experience than me), they choose to approach this path in different ways. My question specifically: can a CFI certified to teach Single and Multiengine (No CFII)...

    Flying Job for Retired Dude who doesn't want to constantly be gone

    Great point on SR-22. Excellent airplane to be a transition pilot on. That absolutely needs to be on my list!!

    Flying Job for Retired Dude who doesn't want to constantly be gone

    Great advice on both points. Ownership and FlightSafety might be a great dual path. I suppose I could consider Ownership an investment in my retirement "career," and maybe get a fraction of my money back after a few years of operation. Question: would significant time flying at FlightSafety be...

    Flying Job for Retired Dude who doesn't want to constantly be gone

    Thank you, great suggestions! Who knows?? Maybe I'll become a consultant or something someday. Fortunately, I've had my CFI for 20+ years and can still enjoy teaching part time or full time!! I will check out the state and government. I did not even consider that option!

    Like - will keep an eye out for that idea. Probably more open to a part timer than corporate stuff!

    Flying Job for Retired Dude who doesn't want to constantly be gone

    If you've worked in software development, there comes a point that you don't want to look at code ever again. Not there yet, but certainly will be in 10 years hahaha! Not to mention, my original goal was flying for a living before life happened (and it suuuurrre did). Part of me wants to finish...

    Flying Job for Retired Dude who doesn't want to constantly be gone

    You both must be mind readers. High Performance / High End airplane CFI is truly my end game, but I know that I must gain some experience in some higher end models to even be competitive among those customers (and their insurance companies)! I am currently a very active CFII/MEI and really...

    Flying Job for Retired Dude who doesn't want to constantly be gone

    All, Hey! I'm looking to retire at around 50 and so far it's looking good. At that point, I'll be in good shape financially but would like to work doing something I like to maintain some of the more fun things in life. Currently I'm 40, almost at ATP mins and will likely get the ATP out of...

    ATP Checkride - Non Airline, Non Type Ride

    Hope I can stay in touch with you on this! Would love all the advice I can get! Hopefully we are far enough apart it would not be a conflict of interest!

    ATP Checkride - Non Airline, Non Type Ride

    Thank you for the advice on this. I will absolutely check those tasks before attending! Also thanks to the advice from others!! I don't NEED to do this now, but decided I want to and can afford to before the cost gets too insane. An MEI costs 3 times what I paid for it 13 years ago. Hopefully...

    ATP Checkride - Non Airline, Non Type Ride

    Hey, Just a regular dude here seeking my ATP-MEL. Registered for ATP-CTP in August, and will take written and prep after. What experience do other guys have just "doing it to do it" in a light twin? How tough was the ride and oral? I know I can go through the ACS, but how did your actual ride...

    What buttons do you have on your yoke?

    One plane I teach in has a playback button on the left-hand yoke. It is super cool if you miss a radio call - can play it back and see if it was for you!

    Multi-Engine Commercial Passed - Accelerated Course Thoughts

    Congratulations! I did my MEI this way in 2009 at ATP. The program flowed pretty much the same as you described. No time to spoon feed systems, speeds, procedures, etc. But if you study hard before showing up, it is a really quick and nice experience!

    ATP-CTP at Airborne Training Service - Wilmington, OH

    Hey all, After 20 years of CFIing, I finally decided to get my ATP. Has anyone taken the course with Airborne out of Wilmington, OH? Any reviews? It looks pretty nice and it's real close to home for me! Thanks, Andy

    Sun n Fun 2022 - Who went / Is there??

    The folks at plant city were super friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I would absolutely go back there. We stayed with good friends in the area (non pilots, but have interest in aviation). I'm not huge into the camping thing with the hot weather.
