You really need to consult with B. Chien. It’s not as easy as just getting off the meds. Especially if you have a diagnosis and you have been on them so long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think you’re focus should always be on getting better, not on costs and efficiency. If you focus on number of hours and costs then that’s a mistake. You should understand now that aviation is not cheap and worrying about that is just not helpful. I’m not saying that throwing money away is what...

I’m not critical of the OP. I think if a DPE failed him on that one maneuver I think it’s ridiculous - assuming everything else was okay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t get this. The standard for these procedures isn’t perfection. I mean the overall approach to every check ride I have had is whether the pilot is safe. Good decision making, understands what happening, isn’t behind the plane, etc. I find it difficult to envision someone failing a check...

I’m headed to 39N next weekend and I believe a POTUS TFR will be in place. Other than being on IFR flight plan any other requirements I need to know about? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the idea. Beachtalk has a sub forum and it’s easy to find what’s up in that regard without sifting through other threads or multiple threads popping up. My .02 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

7B2 is booming. Flight school probably has 8 or more instructors. 10 planes. Always busy there. They are adding more hangers (all accounted for[emoji853]) and just redid taxiways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sadly many of you are misinformed about lawsuits. The insurance industry loves you. Every now and then someone comes along with a stupid lawsuit - like this one - and everyone piles on. I can’t imagine this case makes it past Summary Judgment. I’m not even sure what legal duty ATC has to pilots...

Good Luck. You sound prepared so go out and show em what you know! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for feedback. I do have a power brick. They’re great. The overheating was new to me. I will definitely look into cooling better and maybe a 2nd iPad backup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I used my newly minted instrument rating Saturday and thought I'd share a few notes on my experience. I passed my check-ride in June so this was my first filed plan by without instructor. My wife was co-pilot. I was just making a short trip to Sanford ME. The forecast all week was great...

Helpful info Thanks! On the other hand I may buy the plane I really want and look for 1 or 2 none equity partners. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have experience with non-equity partnerships? I am looking at one now at $250/month and $60/hr dry rate. The costs isn't the issue, its the legal structure that I am curious about. The guy I am speaking with doesn't appear to have an LLC or other entity so I am curious how insurance and...

Interesting. It is odd. But in some ways there is a real organization to that panel in terms of what is where. Given the useful load, size and performance it probably is worth at least a flight in one for someone like yourself with the budget you have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not qualified to evaluate the pilots handling of the scenario. I’ve read countless other’s opinions and it seems as I said pilots will be to blame. All I’ve read says this is vmc rollover. Just seems odd that all the twin drivers see this clearly yet an experienced pilot in the cockpit...

Surprised no one mentioned Socata. Widest cabin in GA: 2 doors, good performance and avionics. I don’t own one - just like everything I’ve read about them. Out of my price range...

This is just horrible to watch. I think of all that these people did to fly safe. They purchased, by all accounts, a state of the art twin engine plane operated by a crew of two. Then in the blink of an eye they all perish. No icing; no thunderstorms, no crazy decision making, no density...

I had my SI issued for my 3rd class and then went to Basic Med. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well you don’t need a medical to take lessons. You just can’t solo. So why I was waiting for my SI to issue I kept taking lessons. As far as the 6 months and then get your medical back I can’t give an opinion on that. It ptook me about a year to get my SI. Dr. Bruce Chien is the man to give you...
