    Airline pilots in missouri

    Where in MO do you live, if you're in the boondocks hours from a major metropolitan area then opportunities will be limited. You have to live at least near one of the major cities for jobs or to be able to commute.

    I cant find a hangar.

    That's not snow, this is snow. Don't ever buy or rent a hangar with a north facing door in the north country. It's the kiss of death. There's no sun to help melt the snow and ice. If you don't keep it clean everytime it snows it will melt and re-freeze enough to turn to ice and freeze the...

    It's been a few years but it flys like an early C-150, no bad habits, but with a tailwheel. Spring steel gear, just like the previous post said.

    I need help. I want to get to 250 hours as efficiently as possible.

    I believe you're assuming the IFR training is mostly XC, it's not, most of it is local basic IFR training and then approach after approach. Any flying you do before the instrument training should be concentrating on accuracy in holding altitude and headings or airways in preparation for the IFR...

    Hawker 900XP on departure from Grand Junction, CO

    On the 800 series Hawkers all have a stick shaker and a stick pusher. The shaker is electric and the pusher is hydraulic actuated. The shaker is the stall warning and the pusher is the stall identification. There are no other horns or lights. The AP will disconnect on stick shaker activiation...

    Hawker 900XP on departure from Grand Junction, CO

    I can confirm the Hawkers are over built. This one had it's right engine shot off by a missile over Africa some years ago, it landed safely.

    They make canopy breaker tools just for this purpose.

    Owner produced parts - composite or 3D printing - contacts?

    I don't believe there's anything that forces you to buy a part from the original manufacturer or PMA parts producer. I've made lots of parts for my Champ, wing tip bows, all the wood stringers and formers in the fueslage. All of those parts are available from other approved sources. All you...

    Emergency Descents

    Yes, me in a Cessna 401 at 14,000' over NM in December 1984. A more experienced friend was flying and I was in the right seat since I had only gotten my ME recently with one pax in back. We think the fire started in the exhaust, turbo area and spread to a fuel line and fuel tank, it melted the...

    Who can give endorsements?

    I guess that Bubba with only a PP can give endorsements for tailwheel and high performance. I wonder what the regs say?
