Yes she was an old school stick and rudder pilot that didn't like all the new tech and what's being taught today with the new breed of magenta line pilots. My first approach she taught me was an Ils so I can get the power settings for the speed and rate of decent needed for the approach then...

Yeah it was something we she never wanted public. She tried to stay a very private person

It's with the greatest regret I have to be saying the world lost a great pilot today. My mom, you know on here as, "Old cfi" lost her battle with cancer and heart failure today. She was my first instructor way back in the mid 80's. She attained her cfi,cfii,mei, and finally her multi engine ATP...

Because I use garmin pilot and use an android tablet. Sorry I forgot to add that in.

I'm looking at the garmin GDL 50,51 or 52 for a gift/present for myself after I pass the instrument check ride. I'm looking for pros and cons for them. I rent different aircraft so hence the need for portability is key. I'm not really in love with the $1200 buck one for obvious reasons. I would...

Pilot cafe instrument. It covers most all you will need. It's a free download. A ton of good info there.

I'm just getting started working on PMEL with instrument rating. I was wondering if there is a good multi engine training book. Leave Sportys multi engine course out. I have used them in the past and am not impressed with the info they provide. Also ill be flying a pa34/200 Seneca 1

I too am on the heels of my IRA check ride. I passed the written a couple weeks ago with an 85 and now have the check ride scheduled for dec 27th. I worked hard for this one, ended up taking almost a year off due to family health issues but back at it now and gonna make it happen before the end...

Look into IDPA, it's competition shooting with more real life scenarios than just run and gun, and you can be competitive with a box stock gun. I took 2nd I'm my division at the Texas state IDPA championship with a para ordinance 7-45 lda, nearly stock, just a couple hundred in upgrades and...

Well I had hoped this wouldn't turn into a major facebook debate. Guess I was wrong.. You don't need an account to view.

I love my Para Ordinance 7-45 LDA.

A noob question that for some reason came to me after watching a movie with a float plane in it. How do you do an engine run-up in a float plane? After all, in a land aircraft, we have wheel brakes to hold us in place. I'll bet getting a bunch of fish together or maybe even a gator or two to...

BLONDE Of all the blonde jokes, this one has to be one of the best -- because it makes football make sense! A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked it. "Oh, I really liked it,"...

It's really hard to say, at any given time you could see 2,3,4, or even none. I have been up there battling 3 aircraft including a twin for airspace. Then on the next flight that same day not a sole around for miles. But with that said expect 2 to 3 just for good measure, as far as altitude goes...

Do you know where you will be parking your plane while you are there? Deland aviation is the only FBO on the field and has reasonable parking fees also the self-service fuel is easy access to the east of the FBO.

I fly out of Deland so ill try and answer all your questions and hopefully give you some helpful advice. 1) The downwind leg for RWY 5 is right at the departure end of 30. The do not overfly really only pertains...

Dump the 302 and go with a de-stroked 351w. Do forged pistons and not hyperutectic I'm not a fan of those in a sport engine. The one issue I can think of using a 90's vintage block is the matching of oil and water ports and jackets to the heads. A 600 lift cam with an intake to match the cam. I...

Hey, I logged my flight in a Ford Tri-motor. I logged it only for the sole purpose of a memorable flight, and a discussion point for some time further in my future career. Although I was not in the right seat I was however in the first seat behind the co-pilot and was watching everything that...

I fly out of KDED. I actually started my flying there at KORL in like '85 on the west ramp.
