    Why the deal fell apart. . . .

    Ok - so I agree to pay someone to ferry the airplane. I agreed to pay for 100% of the escrow. The deal fell apart when I asked who owned the airplane, and who was signing the sales contract and how to prove the current annual is being paid for by the Seller. Here are the facts: Airplane...

    Was I unreasonable?

    i don't think TWO hours of transition time is all that outrageous. . . was better than the other two quotes at 5 hours!

    Was I unreasonable?

    Thanks - appreciate it! We're still talking because I'm willing to spend some money to get the airplane from where it is, to a CFI where I can get signed off - then put the ferry pilot on airplane back home. I'm really trying here - there are several coordination issues afoot - and getting...

    Was I unreasonable?

    I put in the contract to deliver within 100nm my request- that is what started the problem when I discovered the airplane was not at its home just outside chicago in the civilized world. Done so I could find my own spot that was easy for us both to get in and out of - but the guy is in Florida...

    really slow descents . . . . save fuel and go faster?

    Ok everyone - we've all got ipads and phones at least with flight planning software etc. If you climb to your cruise altitude and are on a 400nm leg - your GPS tells you that your descent to destination is 50fpm and that number goes up as you get closer to your destination. So if you waited...

    Was I unreasonable?

    But honestly, everyone - thanks for the input - its a reality check!

    Was I unreasonable?

    yeah - it would - but I asked about whether I was reasonable - much easier to provide an opinion than a ride!

    Was I unreasonable?

    $2k off - not crazy. As for getting it - my inlaws are in their 80's - they're not driving 150 miles each way to get me! But I can stay there - The only offer I ever got was flying the guy an hour in the wrong direction - which is more like 2.5 hours since you need to land, get him off...

    Was I unreasonable?

    Here is your chance . . . . to savage me. Was negotiating to buy an airplane. We agreed on a price but hung up on delivery. The airplane is in some small town in Wisconsin being annualed. It is based outside Chicago. There is no rental car return service in this town or even close by...

    Blocked Profiles

    my name is easy enough to find. Don't say anything online you don't want attributed to you and its all good I never use my real birthday or year. I never disclose that info - nor enough of info that you can back into any other information online about it to hack passwords and important key...

    Stomach Pain - when to go to doctor?

    'some' docs. Nobody gets paid to do it right anymore. Broad brush? Sure - you send me a client with a set of facts - and there are a million things to check, 999,999 are an utter waste of time. But when number 752,876 uncovers something - then they're happy. But the bill for that is...

    Time in Make and Model for Insurance Purposes

    Sometimes your carrier simply wants a check off by an instructor. If you have 1000 or more of PIC retract/hp/complex and an instructor who knows you, and your skill set, you get a 1 hour chat about differences, and gear / flap operation - and s/he signs you off. If you have a CFI-I with...

    Oooooold Lien release.

    And they'd be a helluva lot more effective in the short term!

    Hmm, has my flight planning gotten worse?

    Just because you are not creating charts with wind correction angles and stated landmarks every 10 minutes or whatever, doesn't mean that you are aren't doing it. There are few well worn paths around Southern California along with a big blue ocean and mountains and valleys which delineate...

    Customs..Basicmed?

    We all need to understand that your obligation to present a DL/airman cert/medical etc to a law enforcement officer is germane to the question: Is a CBP officer a sworn law enforcement officer? In many cases they aren't. They certainly are not police officers - and their training is woefully...

    Oooooold Lien release.

    This is a complex issue. Legally - the person who currently owns the right to payment must sign off on the lien to clear it legally so they have no future cause of action. The person who owns the lien on the FAA record must sign it off to clear title to the airplane. This person is dead...
