Can a full-motion Redbird AATD sim be used for our 3 Night Landings currency? I cant get a definitive answer on this, as our instructors are split about 50/50 on this?... CFR 61.57 says... (b) Night takeoff and landing experience. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no...

Well, thats a relief.. Dr. Harris is my AME also, and I was terrified to bring this up to him.

Thank you all for the advice!!! I really appreciate it!

I had a brush with Kidney stones a few years ago, caused by a Hyper ParaThyroid gland. Had it surgically fixed, no problems since.. But I have to have it monitored. Normal blood calcium levels are 8.5-10.2. And mine just came back at 10.3 this time... No kidney stones, no symptoms, no...

2nd vote for Sheppard Air.. One of the least expensive, not flashy, but super good..

Wow.. Thats like a... Penthouse Forum-esque job description there.. Thats a deal closer if I ever heard it.. Case settled... I'll be in my bunk..

All the FBO's I've seen hiring around the Denver area pay $18-$20 for Line Techs.. $1-$2 less for Customer Service.

Well, to get paid for flying people around, of course, lol! Aiming more for a business jet or charter operation pilot at the moment. But still have a couple years of time-building before its really a needed decision.. (edited my post to include the goal, thank you)

I am trying to decide between two jobs at different FBO's Option 1 is a Line Tech / Refueler at a smaller (local) FBO company (but the largest FBO at the airport). LOTS of business jets, & smattering of charters come through there. Option 2 is Front Desk / Customer Service at a VERY large FBO...

So, I'm sitting about 120 hours right now (in 172's only), just waiting for my Instrument checkride.. But I dont feel that my personal x-wind minimums are high enough? Anything around 8-10 kts x-wind, makes me extremely nervous, so my personal mins are 8 kts max x-wind.. Even if the...

Is there anywhere in the colorado area that offers Multi-engine rentals? Not just lesson rentals, but a plane that I can rent for a few days to a week? Would like to think about taking a plane across the country for business in the summer, a week at a time.. But cant find anywhere that...

Seems more dangerous to me, to have a flight switch from an IFR plan, where controllers can anticipate your intentions, even without comms.. Suddenly changing to unfiled VFR, descending in the blind, and ATC just has to wildly guess your intended alternate? Just my rookie opinion..

Now, I get it, when you lose comms in IFR, you got MEA & AVE F.. no problem there.. But what about 91.185(b)... "If the failure occurs in VFR conditions, or if VFR conditions are encountered after the failure, each pilot shall continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable"...

Its also a timing thing. I get my CFI 2x's per week.. About 3 hours of flight time per week.. not nearly enough..

Sorry Murphey, must have missed it.. I'll send you a DM

Honestly, it shouldnt be.. But seriously, it HAS been this difficult.. I'm actually paying my instructor $50/hr, for the past 20 hours.. And I have another 20 of hood time to go....

Hey all.. Do you know anyone trying to build PIC hours? I need a safety pilot so I can get my Instrument Hood time.. I'll pay for the plane, I just need someone to keep an eye out and keep me company.. I pay, you log PIC.. Hopefully someone can help me out? I fly daily (weather permitting)...

Thanks! I'll look into the EAA chapters! I fly the C172's - w/ G1000.. And thank you! I'll DM you!

So far, I've posted on every board, facebook group, reddit, & asked at every flight school in the centennial area that I can find.. What I've discovered is that flight schools (& individual instructors) are VERY protective of their students sharing time, preferring to keep them in house for...

I'm in the middle of building hood & x-country time for my Instrument Rating, and a little birdie told me this would be a good place to look for someone to split time and/or find a safety pilot? I fly almost everyday out of Centennial (APA).. usually in the mornings.. Any leads to other...
