Dang. I thought $700 for my GTN650 Aera 660, and GTR225 was ridiculous. You’ve got me bear for sure. Nice setup though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I skimmed the draft final ruling someone else posted. It’s my understanding the 1900 hour requirement will go away and it’s going to be task based. I believe the goal was also to complete the course in 1 year vs 2 by getting rid of the hour requirement and going task based. Sent from my...

You can also probably do all of this online at: https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/amsrvs/logon.asp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you’re departing BNA, then BNA is a D-ATIS and PDC airport. If you’re using FF Performance package with your tail number set up for PDC, you will get your clearance emailed to you. When you file it in FF, you get an expected route if. The clearance is available 30 min before your files...

Hopefully the 147 re-write coming out soon will shorten that time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe every Airman Knowledge Test is only valid for 24 months, except the ATP if you’re employed by a 135 or 121 operator. At least that’s the way it used to be before the ATP rule change. Using the FOI to get your Ground Instructor certificate will prevent it from expiring. You just show...

Take the FOI, AGI and IGI. Then take those written results to the FSDO or DPE get the AGI and IGI certificates. If you decide you want to be a CFI then as long as you have the AGI certificate, you don’t have to take the FOI again. If you have a desire to be a CFI and CFII, he AGI and CFI...

Looks like it still requires 30 months of experience for the military folks wanting to use the experience credit to take the writtens, oral and practical. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Air carriers don’t get messed with. Lots of corporate pilots get the complete shakedown when they land in France. I used to put together large binders just to keep those guys out of trouble with all of the right documentation during the no notice visits from the French version of our FAA. I...

I know Flying Tigers based at EFD in Houston is always looking for more planes. They stay busy and can’t seem to get enough airplanes. The owners are great dudes. I did my CFI there. Well ran operation. Good luck with your leaseback. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you speak directly with the DPE? Did he/she explain exactly what they wanted and all of the details why they ended the checkride? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I did my CFI and MEI, the DPE was well within his right to see the maintenance logs to prove the annual was current. The school was familiar with this DPE and always sent all logs with the aircraft for checkrides. Luckily I am also an A&P and knew exactly how to handle that part of the...

I replaced my 340 with the 350c. Love the panel and works flawlessly. Great buy and no regrets. Everything else is my panel is Garmin too. I rented a well equipped 172 with the PS engineer panel. It would not stay connected to my BT and the connection was terrible. I was not impressed and that...

https://www.mypilotstore.com/mypilotstore/sep/14560 Garmin released ANOTHER aviation watch. Still overpriced starting at $1199. I still prefer my Apple Watch. I’ve lost count how many watches Garmin makes now. I think it has about 4-5 aviation models but 2 being sold. The D2 Air would be...

I’d be curious to see how the IA signed off the AD’s. Some IA sign offs say “All ADs complied with”. I’ve never accepted that as a sign off. I believe the DPE was adhering to FAR 91.417(v): “v) The current status of applicable airworthiness directives (AD) and safety directives including, for...

What about those that instruct at their respective airline conducting IOE ? They actively instruct but never sign anyone off for a rating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you’re a CFI and a member of NAFI, you get a pretty good discount on the FF Performance package. It’s normally $300. Mine was $200 with the NAFI discount. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. I’ll give it a try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not sure what you’re getting at here. Auto engines also have computers that regulate a lot of the engine and completely different gearing changing engine loads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the ability to do weight and balance and file on FF much better than Garmin. In Garmin, I have loaded the profile for my airplane several times and everytime I enter the W&B or try to file it says my airplane profile is missing when I’m looking right at it. So it doesn’t let me file or do...
