Add me to the list, I've got a plane booked and should be able to make it if the weather is good.

I’ve had two opportunities to sit in the vision jet and am amazed at the visibility and the simplicity of the panel. The cabin is also really big considering how small it looks on the outside. I think it’s a really cool plane but unfortunately it’s a bit out of my price bracket.

I could be a maybe for Jan 4th!

Adsb is in my clubs 150 as well as the 172 and 182.

Another vote for Don Jones out of RHP. I’ve done a checkride with Don and Fred Houston. Whenever I actually get around to doing my commercial I’ll be going back to Don. He was friendly but also very fair.

Don’t think any 150’s have electric fuel pumps.

They just need to convince Congress/ Faa to let pilots count 1200 Microsoft Flight Simulator hours towards ATP mins.

Hmm. Maybe get the control surfaces working and just tow it back like a glider?

I made my own georeferenced Notam pages for Oshkosh when I was learning about how to do this. Just one application. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/foreflight-georeferenced-osh-notam-pages

I have a subscription to FlyQ and Foreflight and never use FlyQ. I wanted to like it because of their lifetime subscriptions but I just like foreflight so much better.

I actually learned something useful in this thread! I just updated my setting in Waze to North Up!

Try to find the cheapest rental possible. Find a club to joint and fly often. Ideally you can join a tach time club that has a Cessna 150 or something similarly sized. $5k is on the extreme cheap end. If you did it all in 40 hours of airplane time and 40 hours of CFI time, you’d have to make...

I wouldn’t be too concerned in a 172, but I wouldn’t try that in a 182!

Try not to land. Seriously. See how long you can keep the plane off the runway. You can also try to think of the yoke as a ratchet that only goes one way. You can ease it back, but don’t push forward. This works for most cases and the mental image may help you

I wanted to make a poll after reading through the other thread. I was surprised to see a lot of track up guys. I’ve always been a north up fan, but haven’t given track up a fair shot either. I just get annoyed and change it back to north up quickly.

The rumor is that it will not require a super expensive computer to run but will require a good internet connection and a credit card to pay the subscription fee.

I’m in the same boat as you. I typically fly a 182 and picked up the IR not too long ago. The CFI said I was proficient in our club champ after about 8 hours but I need to get one more lesson in to get to 10 hours for insurance before solo. I think 10 hours is a pretty good estimate for to...
