Getting started through something like DroneBase during hail season might be a place to start. I hadn’t heard of them. Crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry to loop back around - curious if you did this with a temporary airman's Part 61 certificate (resulting in TWO temporary airman's certificates?) That's where I am in the process. I'm not THAT desperate lol. Going to PSI stresses me out! hehe Thanks so much for the info. I'm not really...

write-stuff how funny that Gold Seal did a small video on small business ownership and operation. As a business owner, I can confirm they touched on all the important parts. I especially appreciated that they acknowledge that most other operators are doing it poorly and that it doesn’t take...

Fantastic, thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the temporary part 61 PPL ASEL certificate. Iacra doesn’t have that part processed yet so it won’t take my application for the part 107 transition, but I did pass the online training so I should be able to do it - just wonder if the FSDO would make it work for me, or if I need a CFI to do...

Man. This is great information, thanks a lot. So you think if I take my temporary airman certificate and my certificate of completion for the part 61 online course to the FSDO, they’ll issue me a temporary sUAV /remote pilot certificate? That may be worth the trip! Sent from my iPhone using...

I went the sUAS for Part 61 route for my Part 107, but am waiting for the FAA to process my part 61 application (still have my temporary airman's certificate from my PPL check-ride.) Looks like another couple of weeks before the FAA processes it. Curious to know if there are many active 107...

I was about to start a thread like this and thought "no - you're an adult. You can search the forums first." I didn't know the FAA had a page saying what they're processing, so that was a total win (https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/ FYI) so thanks! My temporary...

pigpenracing do you have any sierra’s and what is your price these days? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've just thought of a few extra things I wish someone had brought up with me - what do you all think? When the DPE asks you "any questions for me"? Find out this kind of specific stuff: - Generally speaking, during the practical exam, is it helpful to you for me to describe what I am doing...

What this conversation does is confirm that I was right to A. insist on a 1hr reserve and B. Be concerned about low values of available fuel, even if they’re “legal”. Glad for the reminder about “normal” maneuvers, as well as the specifics of maneuvers that can cause premature exhaustion, AND a...

Now THAT is interesting. That is one innovative plane. Peculiar, but innovative! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t know how many more hours I’ll get in this plane, or if I’d need to take a big passenger again, but I will certainly be careful not to forget the lessons John (re)taught us that day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing you say or imply is wrong - this is why I asked on PoA instead of trying to figure it out! [emoji23] They’re only 11.5 gal capacity tanks on each wing, so at 3gal, they’re still at >25% capacity. Lastly, the valve is “both” only, unlike on a C172. This always bugged me, as the tanks...

I took a big friend in a small plane today. I did a good W&B and was happy with the reserve (2hr fuel for a 1hr flight) but it made me wonder; how low do the tanks get before they don’t get the fuel they need, in, say, a bank or climb? Legally I could have departed for a 30min flight with less...

Thanks everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Feels good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright. Check ride story? That's a tough one because I was pretty anxious about it so my memory of all the details isn't fantastic. Let's see what I can remember. To start with, we did all the usual stuff. Specifically of note, we went over my log books which I had printed out from foreflight...

You’ll certainly see me at N Fox this summer. I’m waiting on a club to process my membership and get familiarized with the plane (a 1975 172M with 180hp!) before working some grass but I have a couple buddies already begging to come. We’ll be there! Zeek give me a couple hours. I’ll put some...

I know there are a handful of threads around about this stuff (several of which I started) but I wanted to thank you all for your help. Passed my PPL checkride yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
