When the FO does the cockpit prep flow, the only way you know if he missed anything is in the avionics setup since it requires dual verification. There is not a check for me to make sure he did all of the preflight checks such as the trim checks, annunciator lights, etc. It’s a trust based...

I flew about 10 hours of CAP and 500 hours for my full time job. Did lots of upgrades to my 310 and only flew it about 50 hours this year. I plan to fly it more in 2022 now that all of the upgrades are done. I did use some VA benefits and earned my CFI in 2021. I plan to get my CFII and MEI...

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone done the vinyl wrapping for airplanes? It’s seems the avg cost to paint a 310 has increased $6-8k in the past 9 months. I don’t have to have a paint job now and can afford to wait it out. I’m saw there is a company that vinyl wraps airplanes instead of painting them. Of course I’d...

It’s above my level of intelligence what it’s supposed to mean. I just know I did what my accountant said and legally didn’t pay a single tax on the airplane purchase. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone had their plane wrapped instead of having it painted? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a Texas resident and purchased my plane out of state under an LLC in 2019. I did not pay sales tax. I believe I also had a bill of sale saying something like “1 dollar over market value”. I paid $500 to a company out of OKC that put together the sale, registration, title search, 337...

+1 more for the Garmin Inreach Mini. Works great. The most expense of them all but it’s Garmin. You get what you pay for. Garmin always comes through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m the Air Force, it’s whomever has the “A Code” on the AF Form 781 is the PIC. I’ve seen where a Capt has the A code with 2 LTC’s on board. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not too worry. I know you did everything right and they were wrong. How do I know? Because you were flying a 310. [emoji23][emoji23] Fracpilot, A fellow 310 owner Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s my set up with my Century 2000 and 2x G5’s with the GAD29. As you can see, I had to keep the vacuum driven attitude indicator to run the Century 2000. The GI275 came out after my install or I would’ve installed those. I think the GI275 will “drive” the Century AP’s and eliminate the...

I’ve been using mine for the past couple of months with the Apple Pencil. It fits in the same RAM mount I had for the Mini 4. You will like the 6. Much faster and I like the larger screen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same here. The 345 can be operated from the 650 and you can pair devices to the 345 using the 650. Much easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same here. Great unit. Pretty inexpensive install. Easy to test and easy access for the annual. The battery is good for several years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great idea. I would recommend an Excel or Phenom 300 share or card at Netjets. Both aircraft would be perfect for this mission. Netjets isn’t the cheapest. They’ve been doing it the longest and the 800 lb gorilla out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried to talk our wing into this a long time ago. My understanding is that it’s a nationwide contract so all wings should be switching to Garmin then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spare corrective lenses. My lens came out the frame of my glasses on final. I have now idea how it happened but I found myself squinting and closing 1 eye to land. It was the reason I changed to wearing contact lenses. Ahh the old days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got my A&P to work on my own 310 as well. Saved lots of $$ so far. I call in for help on the specialized stuff or for the tasks that require tooling it’s cost prohibitive to purchase. The tasks for the practical exam are pretty basic. I did my practical at a mtx school where the DME taught...

I can’t speak for Bakers since I went to Aero-Tech. I’m sure Bakers is very similar. They “teach” the practical and oral exam. It’s up to you to sit in front of a computer memorizing the three written exams which is about 1200 questions for each test. Instead of sitting in a stuffy computer...
