Skew T's are the best for 48 hrs out. My Future Radar and Windy along with the prog charts usually paint a good picture a few days ahead.

Good reason for KDET? Not a great part of town, its expensive and not real nice. PTK, VLL are other good options.

We are flying in, made ramp reservation at Sheltair. Not bad prices at all. Flying in Thursday morning, departing Sunday morning! Looking forward to it!

We are flying in from PTK via ADS....yeah a tiny detour. Really looking forward to it! Will arrive Thursday morning and depart Sunday!

Yeah been calling on places from Punta Gorda to Naples....no luck so far.

Friday night we had an Alt 1 failure coming into Page Field (Ft Myers). SR22. All day yesterday tried to find someone to look at it. Zero call backs. Does anyone know a local A&P? Switlik is the local shop, no response from email or calls and their pager is out of service. Trying to get...

IPC as others said is great. Fly the plane and knock off the rust. Another nice option is ride along in the back seat during another students lesson. I often have a student ride in the back while I am teaching someone else. Its amazing what you can pick up on when you don't have to fly the...

MDA - think non precision step down approaches. Level off and plow along until you see something where you can make a normal landing or go missed. This is where the VDP also comes into play as you have to be able to make a "normal" landing, not dive at if from 500' above the threshold. DA -...

Webinar this Saturday at 9 AM eastern, taught by Don Weaver will have a good discussion of the Skew T and tips and tricks to use them. https://www.faasafety.gov/SPANS/event_details.aspx?eid=103602&caller=/SPANS/events/EventList.aspx

Thanks everyone, some great suggestions! Sounds like word of mouth and just "being there" are the leading candidates. So far that is working fairly well.

Similar to the "what do you look for in a flight school" thread, how did you find out about your flight school? We just stated a new school at OZW in SE Michigan. Its part of a 135 operation with a brand new hangar and no time building instructors. All "seasoned" guys and so far we have been...

Its really cool you want to learn to fly!! I would also suggest starting in a more typical trainer. Stuff like 172's are much more durable for learning to land in crosswinds - they can tolerate quite a bang into the runway with side loading while you sort out how a cross control feels, the...

As several others have said, if you come prepared for each lesson it will make the process go faster and save you money. I teach at OZW (Aira Aviation) and I only charge for flight time, not the time before / after the engine starts. If you book a 2 hr block, some schools will charge the CFI...

Comments section, put whatever you want. Even what you had for lunch.

This is what gives GA a bad name. I hope he gets to chat with the FSDO after this. He certainly didn't learn his lesson since after this sketchy landing he fueled up and launched right back into the air. Then yesterday on his next leg back home, you can see right where he entered the clouds...

I live just north of your new place in Milford. Home airport is PTK, but I do fly a Cirrus based in ARB in E row, NE hangars. Get the instrument ticket. Many days are low grey overcast but its often a thin layer and you early get on top and go places. I flew out of ARB both Monday and...

Yeah you are right, as long as its part 91, correct?

I think CE560 is a 2 pilot type

Far more important to find a good CFII than find a simulator. If you are good with avionics and automation I find sims have less value than the people that are slower to pick up the TAA systems.

Where are you located?
