There was a company in Oklahoma that used 206’s to fly remains around back in the 70’s. I used to fly for an airline that flew to the Rio Grande Valley. Snowbirds = Bodies going home in the winter. Once had five on board. The very worst flight(thankfully not mine) was from Frankfort Germany...

Thanks James

Thanks for the replies. After 40 plus years of never using one in my 22500 hours flying heavy jets internationally, I am relearning things from long ago.

Thanks. dmspilot, you’re the second one to say that the PSI screen had one but I honestly didn’t know about it. Will call and confirm. I am an old fart and this computer stuff is Greek to me sometimes

Congratulations Now if you go the professional route, do not let it expire. I did and it seems twice as hard this time. Your Swedish student reminds me of my first instructing job. My student was a school teacher that wore halter tops and shorts...the halter was...stretched. When it was...

In the midst of relearning a lifetime of aviation knowledge and for the first time in thirty plus years, I need to use a computer of some type. I have an old CR-3 but honestly just don’t want to dig through all of the complexity of the multiple layers. Studying for my AGI now. Some of the...

Reading JetLaws FAR/AIM explained on 61.195 (f) Flight Instructors Limitations and Qualifications says “5 hours of PIC in the specific make and model of multi airplane”.

AggieMike Just took the IGI yesterday and had that question. I too used Shepherd and their explanation helped. Like many others, I jumped on the “airborne” statement but as they pointed out that was just a distraction. At my age, I flew with the dual needles in the past so that part wasn’t...

Greg, Yep. I would have never bid away from them except the schedules had gotten so bad.

What Larry in TN said is correct. The fluid is designed to shear off at about 90 knots....this can lead to another potential problem. After a series of takeoffs, all of which reach a similar area of the runway and the fluid shears off...and the unlucky guy has to reject their takeoff in that...

I just retired from a worldwide major freight carrier (Not Fed Ex), I have no degree but I did get my A&P from Spartan. I flew as a CFI, Charter, Corporate, Regional (Commuter back then) and finally at some very small jet airlines (two of which shut down permanently). I was interviewed at one...

The engine has been flown very little. I am not privy to the exact number of hours but as of two weeks ago they were installing the third engine. All of them had chip lights on. The plane is fascinating but WAY WAY WAY beyond my budget. I have a Bonanza but my second choice is a 210. I...

I would highly recommend that you come up to Georgetown and meet Scott at SR Aviation. He maintains a Silver Eagle and it has been a great source of income for him. I think they are on their third engine in three years. I am working at a school here that had a client that earned his private...

There is a Bonanza group at GTU that have two Bonanzas. It is an equity group. A36 and F33A. Will try to get their contact information for you. Shane Torgeson 512.203.3587

Rey 27L Cat 3B (actually there is now only Cat2 or Cat 3 - Opspecs determines minimums). RVR 600 feet. Ceiling can be zero ATL, DEN and a few others have 300 RVR minimums I have six logged at ATL at 300 RVR

I own a 1975 F33A with the BB engine. Depending upon the fuel load and the people I can do four people but I have only had 4 in it a couple of times, 99% of the time it is just two of us. I plan on 160 knots true and I fly 2500 RPM and WOT and LOP all the time. My CG is 79.8. Go to the APP...

YES if your at one of the two biggest. What hindsight 2020 said is true. Pay per hour is somewhat meaningless. Work rules, schedules and seniority rule. The old saying is that anyone can fly but it takes a genius to bid. I routinely flew about 400 hours per year hard time and was working...

I never talked on the PA for the last thirty years. I didn’t care nor did I ever get a complaint. I flew for UPS.

Gary Big Iron vs Little Iron Pull back, the houses get smaller Push forward, the houses get bigger Pull back too far and too long and the houses get bigger very fast. Seriously, they are just airplanes that you have to think differently in some situations and faster but my first lessons in a...

Just retiring them from that route only. They are slowly making it a domestic plane as the level of knowledge of maintenance is ebbing and parts are a little more difficult. Technically it is now a step child of Boeing and they aren’t going to cry when the last one is parked. There were only...
