    Recommendation for Long commercial XC

    Departing out of KADC or KBRD. Prefer to make it a day trip. Something off the beaten path. Any recommendations?

    Florida flight training and living.....?

    So, we got back from a 5 day vacation in sunny FL. Even though we did not get to see it all - we did spend a lot of time in Tampa and Orlando. We loved it! Loved it so much, that we are seriously thinking of making the move from MN to FL. If we did move, I would pursue a career in aviation...

    That's great. I had a friend with a ton of GA and military aviation exposure. He got his done (late 20s) in 40 hours on the nose. I struggled with my landings and had about 55 hours. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Winter flying and Instrument rating?

    So an update, as it has been a while since I posted here. I heard back from Scott at OBX. He has been busy working his other job, and the plane was down in February for MX. Looked around, but hard to find something that would get me done in a week. And my wife would be POed if we took our...

    Winter flying and Instrument rating?

    My instrument rating is just not going at the pace I want to. On good days, work keeps me grounded. On weekends and days off - you guessed it - weather is absolute crud here in Northern MN. Every weekend for the last month and a half has been horrible. I have 10 days of vacation coming up in...

    Learning the "old way"

    Not really...... [emoji2] Back in 2010 I got my PPL in a basic 6 pack 1964 Cessna 172. After that most of my flying was in a 150 and 152, again with the standard sixer. No iPad or any other gizmo, even when I started my IFR training in the 150. Then I got a taste of the 430W in the 172...

    Buying a plane and instructing....? What do you think?

    Heh. Not sure what is confusing about the first post. I'd like to get my CFI/I Tickets and share my love for all things aviation. Thanks for the lead on the bag boy job... No problem here. 30's something.. no kids. Wife works every other weekend....... it could work.

    Buying a plane and instructing....? What do you think?

    Not trying to be a low price leader. Trying to be economical :) make it affordable without jumping through hoops or charging an arm a leg in the name of post/pre flight. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Buying a plane and instructing....? What do you think?

    Yeah, I am still a ways away from my tickets. But I am working towards them and hope to have them by mid 2017. Been kicking around the idea of buying a C150 (or equivalent) and doing some instructing locally. Nothing in our touristy town, either go to Fargo and pay 160 + instructor (80?) for a...

    Commercial study material recommendations?

    I am probably looking at the Commercial and CFI tickets in 2017. I'd go the same route as the last two. Gleim books.
