WhenI give a BFR I see what kind of flying and how active they are. There are time we are just waiting for the Hobbs to hit 1 hour, there are times when I have to tell them we need more flight time before I sign them off.

Anything close to ice, I don’t mess around. For me that margin is too close.

These are times I feel lucky I trained and fly out of a busy chaotic Class d, under a class b, and right next to a C.

15 kts, you gotta bump those numbers up.

How do you not bust out laughing at him every time he pulls that garbage?

Is there only one place to rent from in your area?

Years back I went from Ft Myers’s to Key west, It was always deciding swap with alligators, or water filled with sharks if there was an engine failure.

I have come across many pilots that their CFIs have failed them in teaching them to be knowledgeable pilots. So maybe your CFI didn’t cover this type of stuff, which he should have. Just saying.

If your. FI never covered this, you should go ask for a refund. This is basic stuff a CFI and a DPE should cover.

When this pilot called smoke in the cockpit he was over the southshore beach area. Ocean parkway at that point would have been my 20 mile long runway. And yes it was a $99 intro flight. The backbone of that school, which does not have a great track record to begin with. Quite a few accidents in...

A few more seconds, would have made the runway. last word, survivors were 80% body had burns.

I would see how far people will lower their standards for money.

3X or no 3X, runway heading is runway heading. You let the controllers worry anout drift.

The acting PIC can change anytime throughout the flight. In the 25 years and thousands of hours of I have gone flying with friends that are pilots, We have never stated anytime prior to the flight who the PIC was going to be.

I have a friend I fly with, he is notorious for just picking an airport and just going. He claims he always checks the information, but I do as well because I know he really doesn’t. He looks at foreflight, meter, and looks at the first one or two notams on a good day. There have a been a few...

When our 530 was on its last leg, my partner and I debated between the 750 and the 540 for our 182N. We went with the 540 solely due to cost. The having to move the whole stack around and just slide in the 540 was a major savings on its own. We have it with two G5, 345xpdr, and STEC 50. We are...

So the rule clearly states flight training. So a CFI can do 10 hours of ground instructing, and then legally jump in and do 8 hours of flight instruction. This whole rule is just a pointless number. What about the CFI that has to work a full time job to pay the bills? So legally he can work...

is a real thing, but a stretch for a nasa form. I know lots of pilots wanna fill one out every time someone farts in the plane. But worrying about going over allows CFI time?

The ASRS is an important facet of the continuing effort by government, industry, and individuals to maintain and improve aviation safety. Can someone explain what a CFI flying past 8 hours have to do with improving aviation safety?

That was my issue. Sitting in one seat for hours on end, was excruciatingly boring for me. And then my free time I didn’t want to go near a plane. Doing for work seriously killed my love of flying. So now I fly on the side, part time CFI for fun, and do something else for full time work.
