This is exactly why I was looking for an independent. Cost is only part of it... the other side of that coin is how flight schools are run... I did finally find an independent that I feel very comfortable with. Not as many hrs per week as I would like but definitely a good match. And he is...

Interesting you say that i was pretty ignorant about these things. I was at an faasafety event put on by Eaa104.org just last Saturday, and the dupage FISDO GUY (not gonna drop names...) said an interesting fact, I can’t re quote exactly, but baiscally he said exactly that south bend Indiana...

Thanks for the data point. I think 60 for TW is reasonable myself because insurance is more so those number seem very close to what I am looking for. But I need the focused commitment. Not 1 or 2 hrs per week, over 6+ months.

Thanks! I kinda like that idea. Or for me I would even consider a fixed bid style proposal.

I am sure you are correct, but I could not figure out how to do pm on pilotsofamerica, so I did cheesey obfuscation and will edit the post and remove once I get what I want...

basically yes, within 40 miles of Michigan City, which confusingly enough is actually in Indiana; commonly known as Michiana. and there are normally only 4-5 weekends in November. I also have Fridays free. Depending on price and hrs I might travel further.

Looking for an Independent CFII to finish up Instrument rating. I have passed the written test 20 months ago and have 10+ hours of hood time, own aircraft and am willing to fly 40 or so miles for training. I have PA-28, w/ GTN650 NO SCHOOLS Requirements: 1. Want to finish training and take...

Looks like he was a B-737 pilot from Korea... From Airman's DB I removed the name and address to protect the innocent... or guilty as it may be... And based on the fact that he was listed as 26 years old (2019 - 2013) means he was most likely 19 or 20 when he got the commercial cert. Name...

1-4 are a lot of work, just keeping your own flights and plane log accurate takes time. I would do 1 thing first. Create a NASA Report it's "confidential" and has some real benefits for the type of FAA interaction you might encounter. Also, those reports do get studied, so specifics may help in...

I switched from light speed to faro in ear https://www.faroaviation.com/in-ear-aviation-headset.html I did not like the white noise hum. Then I gave my lightspeed to my wife, and the seals just never really sealed well. She could not stand them. So we sent them back, and I bought her...

Correct, the word ‘rely’ was added by me reading between the lines... and the preliminary report stated ‘utilized’. Also, the report very carefully chose the phrase “Two of the witnesses stated that they heard the Cessna 150 pilot on runway 15 UNICOM frequency.” - exact quote from The...

NTSB preliminary info came out. https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20180403X00427&AKey=1&RType=Prelim&IType=FA There were 3 witnesses in the pilot lounge that were listening to the unicom 2 of them seemed to give statements, and the Cessna 525 jet has a cockpit...

The technology is being developed, and is currently in place at 50+ larger airports currently, yes. As software and data systems are enhanced, and ADS-B is adopted and expensive components will no longer be needed to increase the adoption rate. Understanding how Satellite based solutions can...

I wasn't able to really follow the entire back/forth about the discussion above, but a couple of points I wanted to make: So kinda interesting as I have been doing more investigation, I was not really clear on what all the "NextGen" feature the FAA had in store, and there is some really good...

Don't know anyone involved, but I fly in that area from time to time. There are a few other reasons: 1. This accident is very disturbing to me for some reason, I think it is because I am unclear what the C150 could have done to prevent it. Also, in a collision where two planes are on a...

OK, I found 511AC talking to Grissom as he was going into Marion. Forgot that Marions is UTC -4 this time of the year... KGUS-Apr-02-2018-2030Z.mp3 from liveatc, (I can't post the full link yet). 511AC was cleared to desend to 2500, and instructed to report Marion in-sight. at 27:18, or just...

Based on the picture I am looking at, and matching the runway cracks that you see in the picture with the google earth images, it now appears that the jet landed on 4,(which makes sense I think the ceilings were about 2500 so ILS would be a good candidate and the A5 lights might have been on)...

I Notice several local airports with 122.7 as the ctaf, I am wondering if liveatc.net or someone else has a recording close enough to pick things up, I know my radio hears Ottowa IL from Valparaiso IN. I listened to all of Grissom from about 4:30 local time to about 5:15 local time and did not...
