    Common vs. Private Carriage Scenarios

    Same. My checkride was about 2 weeks ago. Guy even asked me if you don't know where do you look? I said FAR/AIM. ... And he said, you can Google too. [emoji50] Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

    Setting up a flight training business: LLC or INC?

    Thanks. My first goal is to get to my CFI ;) Should be done here soon. Next step is to do some instruction locally and see how things go. If everything goes well, I would potentially think about buying a plane to do some instruction. I do have a full-time job, so not sure how things will turn...

    Eating an information elephant, one bite at a time....

    LOL! I can relate. I started using the Sheppard Air App and feel the same way. Hoping I can get this done and out of the way soon.

    Best Aircraft for Commercial SEL

    I did all of my PPL and IR in a 172. Started my Commercial ASEL in a 172, but then switched to a Piper Warrior once I had the maneuvers down.... I really enjoy the way the Piper flies and I prefer it to the 172. Something cheapest is best though....

    AGI or not?

    I passed the CFI written this morning. Doing the FOI next. Will do the AGI after and as I get closer to the CFI ride.

    AGI or not?

    Going to get my CFI written this week. Thinking of getting the FOI next. Unsure if I should get the AGI. What are the benefits of getting the same? Edit: Long term goal is to be a career instructor. Not interested in going to the airlines.

    Retirement: inside or outside the USA?

    Colleague of mine - ex-mil and now works for the state of MN - who has some decent bennies, is looking at Guatemala or Ecuador. I have a feeling I'll be doing the same. But who the heck knows where we will be in the next 30 years? Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

    Ever terrified your CFI?

    Cowboy CFI I still fly with decides to teach me steep spiraling descent to a landing from above the airport. We usually try and get three full turns in by the time we descend to pattern altitude and then landing on the active. Except the last time... we did our three turns and came out a bit...

    Any PIREPS on Venture North in Cloquet, MN?

    I live a few hours west of Cloquet. Was a balmy -18 a couple days ago, with 30 degrees this weekend. Flying in the next month or two, to finish CFI should not be a problem. No personal experiences with Venture North, but I might use them for my CFI in August, if they can get me on the...

    What's the Dumbest Aviation Decision You Ever Made. Here is Mine.

    Mine is pretty close. Regret not buckling down and getting the Commercial and CFI in one go back in the early 2010s. Would have been on my way to a mainline carrier by now...... But the current job and path has worked out too.

    Last Minute Commercial Finish-Up

    Consider the outfit in Tea, SD. They were very nice when I talked to them on the phone. WX is a big concern this time of the year. Venture North is a good outfit if you go that route.

    Most reliable vehicle you've owned vs least reliable

    Reliable: Mostly the Japanese made cars. 1994 Mazda 626 1995 Nissan Sentra 1999 Toyota Camry 2007 Toyota Corolla I used to buy them cheap and then drive em till the wheels fell off. I babied them, with regular oil changes and drove like a grandma (as my friends would say). Did not see much...

    Bad Elf Pro vs Bad Elf Lightning Connector

    Thanks all! I'll probably go the route of the lightning connector for now. No use for the external GPS as my phone/fitbit app does the same... :)0 I do think that the lightning connector will eventually get phased out, but till then......

    Why the Foxtrot do I live here

    If that's not your deck and the weight of the snow won't hurt anything, I'd leave it all alone till warmer weather comes along. Spent 2 hours myself, yesterday, shoveling the 14" of snow we got. More this weekend they say.. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
