I would just stay in the pattern until I make contact.

Scott, I think you should pursue what you want to do and sounds like you're well positioned to do it. Start going for your commercial and then CFI/II. I suggest interviewing schools and instructors primarily for YOUR training. And you can consider their answers to determine whether you want to...

Yes, thanks. That has become a big deal.

Got it. Thanks. This has become a big deal for some reason. I've had students work recently (just this year) with DPEs who are real sticklers about these logbook entries.

Of course. Just didn't seem like the OP knew it...that's all.

Well....call it what you will. But, chances are, you'll have to do something.

Well, shoot, did he mean to log it as dual? Maybe he can correct the log? But, I'm not sure that 6 years ago, the regs allowed an instructor aboard so it may all be pointless anyways. Someone can chime in here.

Could you explain this more? Maybe cite the opinion? I don't see anything in the regs requiring recent instrument training or currency. Thanks.

STARs are not typically designed to seamlessly connect you to an approach. They can't because they will serve not only several approaches but commonly more than one airport. They are designed to get you into the vincinity where you will be vectored onto the appropriate approach. I haven't used...

This is good advice. I was in the same boat and started to advance in my ratings when in my late 50s planning to be an airport bum with a CFI/I certs. This led to a flying job that got me 1500 hours (in 172s). A friend convinced me to try the regionals and I went for my multi and MEI to meet the...

Congratulations! I concur with all the advice to go fly. Just consider that, since you said you want to become instrument rated, to do cross-countries (50 nm). The instrument rating requires 50 hours of this. May as well start the building now. Enjoy.

Hi Kath. I've read your posts and all I can think is "how beautiful and inspiring." All my best for a continued recovery and thank you so much for sharing. Noah.

Well, thanks for posting the question. I would have thought Pilot B would be able to log since (s)he is acting PIC - no way around that cuz of currency and IFR flight plan. Still feels wrong that (s)he cannot.

It seems clear that, YES, (s)he can regain currency, especially in light of the Walker letter. I do NOT follow the OP's logic at all. 61.57(c) requires "performed and logged..." Pilot A (in OP's scenario) was sole manipulator of the controls so, YES - Pilot A "performed" the approach (whatever)...

Hello Ryan! At your stage in life, you should focus on going to college and getting a 4-year degree in something. It's ok to also keep going in aviation, but college should be your first priority. Don't look at college as learning something for a vocation, but a chance to explore the world and...

Give these guys a call. They move aircraft, mainly disassemble and export. International Aircraft Services, LLC, 20511 Skywest Dr, Hayward 94541 510-670-4700

I started at SkyWest 5 years ago. In my class of 58 (split into two groups), I didn't meet a single new-hire who did not have at least a 4-year college degree.

I think of it as flexibility. If your normal mission involves taking passengers and baggage, then only fill it up with so many gallons of fuel. This will be your normal profile. But you have the ability to trade payload for range. Maybe you don't need that...maybe you will. All up to you. No...

This is good info. I would just add that, when coming from the east, KLVK is a good waypoint. Then follow the 580 freeway (runs east-west right next to the livermore airport, KLVK). It will cross over the last set of hills (Dublin grade) literally to VPXES. Just a couple miles north of VPXES is...

I've been experimenting with the 430, 650, 750 as I've had the privilege to fly behind these quite a bit...also been in simulators with these, so.... Just for the heck of it, I've loaded full approaches and activated the leg just before FAFs. I've found they always gave me proper guidance even...
