    Shepard Air for FOI, FIA and FII. 1 day for FOI, and about 2 days each for FIA and FII. Well worth it! https://www.sheppardair.com/flight-instructor.htm

    G5 IGRF forced software update??

    Thank you. I did this, but I didn’t see the software update feature. I had a red X on #2. I’ll try it again.

    G5 CDI/HSI

    My guess as well. I think it needs to be reconfigured from the settings menu.

    G5 IGRF forced software update??

    Garmin installers and avionics gurus… I’m an A&P and did the latest software update 8.17 to my personal G5’s. I’ve done several of these and many times in the past. It turns out this one had 2 different updates on the same card. The first was the regular update. It loaded normally and then...

    Turbo Failed at FL210

    Too bad you had passed up Houston. Harco at EFD could’ve taken care of y’all. They do a lot of twin cessna work.

    Right seat time in Phenom 300e??

    Valid point and yes you’re correct. He/she may be able to get the PIC type in the 135 checkride if all of the boxes are checked and they have an examiner doing the sim checking.

    G5 CDI/HSI

    Something is definitely not right. I haven’t seen one without a CDI. Yours also looks like it’s also missing battery status info.

    Right seat time in Phenom 300e??

    Again, what is the end goal? Airlines? Corporate? Freight? In this market, just about any turbine time is valuable. Everyone is hiring. Depending on where “your friend” is now in their flying career, if they even want one, determines how to better answer the question. But the short and easy is...

    Right seat time in Phenom 300e??

    You still need an SIC check out per 61.55 to be a legal SIC. I was a captain at a fractional before moving to the majors and I flew the Phenom 300. My EMB-505 Type Rating states that I require an SIC in order to act as PIC in the EMB-505. The Phenom 300 is capable of a single pilot type. But...

    Generalized Anxiety Disorder from VA C&P Exam

    I know many VSO’s that will completely disagree with you. VA awards on a disability that was documented and occurred at its worse state. You can make a claim for a migraine you had 10 years ago that affected your ability to do your job on that day.

    Getting “randomed” at TSA now means the inverse and you actually went through without secondary screening. I get screened more than I go through.

    Generalized Anxiety Disorder from VA C&P Exam

    Here’s what the AME’s use to issue a first class to an applicant with a mental disorder: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-67/subpart-B/section-67.107 Remember the VA guidelines for a VA disability are not the same as the FAA. The VA is all about your worst day...

    Texas POA Roundup

    3/18/23 @ KSEP sounds like the preferred time and place. I hope I’m off and can make it.

    Texas POA Roundup

    Guess I missed that request in the thread. I thought I saw someone else suggest LBX and was just supporting that. I don’t have any airport to offer that’s centrally located. I’ve only ate at LBX and T82.

    Texas POA Roundup

    How about March 18? Far enough out, weather should be a little warmer, and weekend after daylight saving time started. I don’t know my March schedule yet but would be nice to make it…whatever city we decide on. I like LBX. The ramp is large enough, the restaurant is large enough and you eat...

    Boeing's Truss-Braced-Wing Jet Concept Could Replace 737 Max By 2030

    If SWA buys it, it will still be stuck in the 80’s without EICAS. Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Ground instructor only

    Shepard Air all day long!! My story is very similar to yours. Like you I’m also an A&P. I also did my FOI, AGI, IGI first. I later did my CFI, CFII, and MEI. Like someone else has already said, Take the FOI, AGI, and IGI written exams using the Shepard Air prep software. After you take and...

    Century 2000 Installation Manual

    Does anybody have a PDF copy to a Century 2000 installation manual? I have the pilots operating handbook but I can’t seem to locate the install manual. We had to do some elevator work and we are re-rigging the trim. The stops and cable tension settings are different for an airplane with an...

    Filing a Complaint With Local FSDO?

    Completely agree this could not go in the way the OP wants it to go. Questions asked could be did you notice any airspeed or altitude anomalies? If you answer yes and then flew it again, you too could be under investigation for flying an unairworthy airplane. Oops..just saw many said the same...

    Stratus or Garmin GDL?

    If you did the GDL, I’d go with the GDL52. If you wanted to save a little, go with the Sentry and GDL51. That’s the set up I use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
