    Advice for an aspiring pilot is appreciated!

    The best and fastest way is to work as a fueler at the biggest FBO in the area. It's the best way to meet all the pilots you'll need to know for a flying job. Plus you'll be right there to take lessons every day while making money.

    If it is like an Aera 660, Garmin will not fix it economically. Chris will!

    Are we still debating that you have to get the plane in the air VS running it on the ground for 30 minutes is good enough to get the moisture out?

    Kenmore Air Harbor used (40 years ago) to have a service where they would run customer's airplanes once a week. They stopped doing it when these airplanes all started to have rusted-out engines.

    Garmin GDL 50

    Garmin won't repair one, or at least their price is TOTALLY outrageous. Chris Short repaired mine.

    Theoretically possible to get PPL/SEL IFR and AMEL all at the same time?

    NOBODY can get a PPL. Pilots are certificated.......dogs are licensed.

    Changes Since Your Initial Training (Get Off My Lawn edition)

    When I got my PP Certificate, I could go anywhere and rent an airplane. But I was too young to rent a car!

    Changes Since Your Initial Training (Get Off My Lawn edition)

    Somebody said cost. YES! My entire private Pilot Certificate cost about $400.........in 1965. Here is Wally. His T-Craft was $7.00 wet and he was $3.00. Here is Wally in his UPF-7 (Thank you to the original unknown photographer!)

    Too hot to fly Legally?

    Well, we'd STILL be on the ground in Texas......had we followed the rule about 30 years ago in a Falcon 10. From the NW, it never occurred to us that it might be too hot or high to T/O legally. In actuality, we were only in the danger zone for maybe 10 seconds.

    Piper Warrior low rpm?

    Some jets are equipped with a lateral "G" meter. If the "G" meter doesn't read book value for those takeoff performance charts........T/O will be abandoned.
