    The Cirrus jet that burned yesterday was N52CV. The Cheyenne that crashed in Louisiana today was N42CV. If I was the owner of N32CV I would be real nervous.

    charging dual rates for solo flights?

    When I was teaching at a 141 there were times that one of my students needed to get a cross country done on a day that I was scheduled to be off. Students that worked full time and usually flew in the afternoon sometimes had a hard time getting good weather for a cross country because of...

    Patty Wagstaff involved in incident at St Augustine

    Have to take what the local news says with a pound of salt. When they first reported it they said that the plane landed in the marsh short of the runway and had 4 people onboard. Now it flipped during taxi with 2 onboard.

    Medical requirement for glider add-on to SEL

    You are correct, if he was still current then when he passed his glider checkride it would reset the clock for his flight review. But he needs to be current to solo and he has to solo before he can take the checkride. The first sentence you quoted says that it has to be done in the period...

    Medical requirement for glider add-on to SEL

    You are correct, I wasn’t trying to muddy the waters on that, just wanted to make it clear that as a licensed pilot there can be extra hoops to jump thru to get the glider add-on.

    Medical requirement for glider add-on to SEL

    No because a Flight Review is required to be done in an aircraft that the pilot is already rated in.

    Medical requirement for glider add-on to SEL

    Because since you already have an ASEL rating you do not get an endorsement to solo like a student pilot does, you get an endorsement to act as PIC in an additional category/class. To act as PIC you must have a current flight review. The FAA lawyers put it in this interpretation...

    Ok, I missed the part where you qualified that answer to relating to the 141 curriculum that you have experience with. Your statement read like it was true of all 141 curricula.

    Part 141 lesson order

    Generally the Chief Instructor can give permission to do lessons out of order as long as they are in the same stage. Each syllabus will have several pages at the beginning that explains exactly what is required to complete the syllabus. The school I taught at had the following sentence in every...
