Awesome, congrats! Bob Nardiello is a GREAT guy. He gives challenging checkrides but is very fair. By the end you feel like you have really accomplished something big. He did my instrument checkride as well.

Referring future clients to the CFI is always appreciated.

Best to ask the tower, it's easier that way. I would probably try 127.3 first.

Timing is everything! I start 5 days of recurrent training in Long Beach tomorrow. Hopefully I won't have to deal with this mess.

Yes, as long as you haven't yet reached the LNAV MAP (RWY 26).

A lot of the airports we go to in our SR22 has ASDE (ground radar) however our GTX327 transponder automatically switches from ALT to STBY mode below 35 knots. Even if you force it into ALT, it sometimes reverts back to STBY and ATC complains that we're not squawking mode C. Is there a way to...

See your PM inbox. :)

I used a DPE based out of Robertson for 2 of my checkrides in the past. Super nice guy, really great.

Just out of curiosity, did you check with Executive? I've used both facilities and found Executive had better service, at least when I was there.

Take me too, Uncle Dave? :goofy:

MG. He was there back then.

Check out the NPRM comments. There were a LOT of opinions the FAA ignored in creating the final rule.

Has anyone in this thread actually attended an AABI accredited collegiate aviation program or is intimately familiar with the curriculum in said programs? Just curious. At Purdue we were inundated with a LOT of aviation knowledge and experience, IMO. It was set up so that we were able to...

Reality is, it comes down to individual knowledge, skill, and performance. Competency based testing to qualify pilots for positions is a lot more accurate than 1500 hours of... well who knows what because it all counts. You can usually tell in the first 5 or 10 minutes flying with someone but a...

Colorful is a good way to put it.

It's changed a little bit since, but students are still getting turbine time. They sold the KingAirs and bought a Phenom 100. Everyone in PFT goes through Phenom ground, a semester of Phenom sim, and about 10-15 hours of left seat time in the airplane. They hired a lot of good instructors with...

...and still waiting for their 141 approval. It's a complete cluster right now.

When the POTUS was in Palm Springs last month, the Secret Service was responsible for a lot of the set up in coordination with the military. We had a Secret Service agent stop by and give us a copy of the NOTAM to distribute to our pilots. The Army guys watched the temporarily surveillance radar...

Not a pro at the GTN750, however on the Aspen you will probably have to fly the approach in APR mode on the KAP140. Once on the missed approach, select HDG mode on the KAP 140 and GPSS on the Aspen to get GPS roll steering commands for the hold. This was the case in the Conquest I used to fly.

Not a valid clearance if you requested the ILS, and they cleared you for the ILS approach if it was NOTAM'd out of service. Yes. In addition to the DAN NOTAM 03/017, there are FDC NOTAMs issued that render the ILS 2, RNAV/GPS 20, RNAV/GPS 31 and VOR 20 procedures "not authorized."
