Thanks, I've printed the POH and am goign through it to get the v speeds as well as procedures like fuel management in different phases of flight and scenarios. I also need to learn how to calculate accelerate stop, accelerate go, W&B, etc.

To provide additional power and redundant systems (vacuum, charging).

Tony, this is great advice, thank you. Getting used to what happens when you add gear will be a big change for me and how I manage approaches and energy.

Thanks, I will look at the ACS. I'm an oddball since I'm non IR and non commercial and most people are doing an add on to those vs private. I think I will have basic airwork and some OEI scenarios but need to go through ACS. I'll also document, with the instructor on the ground, the details...

That's correct. For my own reasons, I want to get the multi done and will accomplish the IR later, potentially in a multi.

thanks! Any oral gotchas you can recall to grill me with?

that's on my list after this. I'll work on IR over the winter.

I have an older uflymike and it works well. I also have the older bose aviation X and they seem to work about the same. I haven't tried the new high dollar headphones like the A20's etc.

Thank you! I am not trying to rush, except for the weather. I'm flying an hour away for the lessons but plan for all day Saturday/Sunday (some ground, some in the plane not running, some flying) then a refresher Wednesday and the checkride Thursday afternoon. CFI recommended this (he's in...

I'm taking my private, non instrument AMEL checkride on the 27th in a Travelair. I'm a 180 hour private pilot (all my time is 172s and 182s). I have no twin or retract time. I have done the King School's "ready for multi engines" videos and quizzes. I have read David Robson's excellent book...

I'm excited for emergency preparedness to have a long term, shelf stable unleaded gasoline option.

you do have to be careful though, they sometimes sneak them in, even to HELOCs

Aircraft loans? Many loans don't have prepayment penalties. The majority of mortgage and car loans don't seem to. Lightstream doesn't either.

OK, so my plan wouldn't work. With CMI, how many engines are in transit each way. I figure if cylinder failures start happening at 50 hours, there's a real risk you could have your core on the truck back to them, one in the airframe, and needing another replacement before they recieve the...

how far in advance can one buy a reman before you have to send back the core. with prices going up, if you thought you needed it in the next two years, you could put the crate in your dry garage with dessicant plugs and then do the swap in a couple of winters when your current one dies. It's...

I like the idea to find a cfii that will be at your beck and call and will fly you in your plane while training you for private and ir. You could do both in 1 year and get 120 hours or more in. Then your insurance would drop dramatically Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Training in a travel air with a 70 year old pro pilot and instructor Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks, I'll look at that. HOping to do my AMEL later this month not far from you!

It is interesting that the previous poster showed high speed, but lot of altitude drop. It seems from my studying that you want to be at VYSE, properly configured, and you shouldn't have been going 148kts close to the ground. I would expect VYSE on a 310 is what, 90 ish? So unless this is...
