I can speak for my friend who Is Polish (so am I) and who like you wanted to come to the US for complete pilot training. He is now employed as a copilot with some European airline and occupies right seat on a 737 - not bad at all. His job prospects were much better in Europe at the time. But...

If you have self-discipline and can simply drive (I live in the Bay Area and regularly drive to ski in Sierras - actually will be driving there tomorrow...new snow) then this whole discussion about ice becomes a moot point, unless you can easily afford FIKI equipped aircraft. This is barely 200...

I don't see it that way, I think she gives great advice, but her advice is conservative and cautious - she can't be faulted for that. She doesn't allow for flamboyant and seat-of-the-pants decisions which can make life boring, but again, her financial decisions are solid.

I prefer Aeros, sectionals are only superior when talking for example about VFR reporting waypoints. I can imagine for VFR pilots sectionals would be the default choice.

Glad to see he is flying and able to afford this expensive aluminum. I never understood all the hate mail he was getting - only because he was flying aircraft no one of us can even touch.

Suze Orman would probably find 10 reasons why you can't afford one. But if you want it badly enough and it doesn't adversely impact lives of your dependents - you can afford it.

I know exactly what John wrote, nowhere did I claim it is anything beyond raw statistics, however it is the fact that what drives twin statistics are pilots who fly them too infrequently. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

John Collins from FLYING wrote extensively on the subject and with his reputation and knowledge of the subject (GA accident rate in particular) I go with what he said. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

You would be surprised! According to NTSB and their accident statistics you are more likely to walk away alive from a single-engine piston aircraft (with or without parachute) when its engine failed than from any piston-powered twin when one of its engines failed. This is true regardless how...

I am now undergoing Cirrus transition curse and there is a lot of info abut CAPS and its limitations. Nowhere did it say that heavy icing would prevent CAPS deployment, per my understanding the only thing that can interfere with your CAPS is IAS too high, or altitude too low. The specs list 133...

He is no longer leaning, he has already made up his mind. This is what it is all about - you try them all and then decide what works best for you. I was once solidly in the Garmin Pilot camp, I tend to like to support underdogs (GP's market share is about 6-8 times smaller then FF's) and was...

At least for me it never really occupied a nanosecond of my attention whether there will be a follow up to mini 4 and I never contemplated a switch to Android only because mini 4 may not have a descendant. It was obvious to me there will always be some mini in production. Sent from my iPad...
