And I should remind everyone that historically the IRS audit rates of Schedule C businesses are substantially higher than the historical audit rates of other entity types. So besides wanting to deduct all flight training being incorrect, it is also riskier given the type of entity. If it were...

I would advise speaking to your tax advisor as I can't give specific advice. My response (here comes the disclaimer) should not be taken as tax advice but as a general talking point got you to head in a direction for research to answer your question. Generally, paying to learn a new trade or...

One instructor around here is $50 per hour. A younger guy who is a CSIP charges $250 for up to 4 hours. You do the math. Another charges $55 per. Another charges $65. Another charges $75 with a 3 hour minimum. Bottom line is it seems to be all over the board. I'm sure you'll figure out what...

I made a stamp with the following info: Freq (ILS or VOR frequencies) FAC (final approach course) Intercept (g/s intercept altitude) DA/MDA Missed I have post it notes and use the stamp to stamp the post its. For each approach I complete the data along with the minimum crossing altitude for...

Fred, Dr Bruce is the best at what he does. Why take a chance? If you are able to get it he's the guy to get it done if you're not, he'll be straight with you. Good luck!

We've put 420 hours on our 22 that we bought last 9/11. And that includes the 8 weeks in the shop for new avionics, chute repack, starter replacement and annual. I've put on 150 hours on the plane. I'm now at 550 hours or so. When I starts back 3.5 years ago after a 32 year hiatus I had 105...

Great write up. Thank you! I'm planning on going to a "one day" ground school and flying to get my feet wet so to speak next March when I am in the area for the COPA CPPP at Lakeland, and then get the rating the following year as I will need a BFR.

Condolences

I thought my ignore setting was on. What a disappointment. This guy absolutely loves Cirrus aircraft....(note sarcasm). Just ignore him Noob He went off on me last year when I bought my 22.

My dad was an RCAF pilot in the late50s. He got back into flying in 1972/73. He always chuckled when he told me the first flight back of a young CFI who walked him up to a Cherokee and proudly exclaimed...this is an airplane.

I had 24 hours or so actual when I took ride. First flight after, Chicago departure had me smack in the middle of actual for about 1/2 hour because of Ohare and midway arrivals. Started my approach into St Louis while in actual. Now I have close to 30 hours in actual. Glad I got the...

Gender says male....

I spoke to my CSIP who is the director of training for COPA. He said those guys are awesome. Trying to get a specific recommendation for you.

OP where are you located? I can give you suggestions.

Really a 182 has more room? I've flown three and disagree. Further, I have a dfc 90 a/p which is much better than the piper auto control; and my plane has an Avidyne system. It is clear to me that you are unfamiliar with all possible configurations of the 22. I do agree we could argue ad...

My top 10 reasons I bought a 22: 1. More comfortable for me than an Archer or Dakota (I'm a big guy) 2. Didn't want a retract but wanted the speed. 3. Decent useful load (see number 1) 4. Gas burn pretty good when leaned out. 5. Chute 6. Good range 7. Newer avionics 8. Great...

You should read my threads from my first bust in July 14 to my successful IR ride in June 16 with everything that occurred that I thought I would bust again. Some highlights/lowlights about what occurred....original DPE meddled when I found a new DPE so that new DPE said she didn't want to get...

If speed and procedures are managed well in landing, the 22 will practically land itself. For me it's been the easiest plane I've encountered to land- from flying 150/152, 172, Pa28 line, Tomahawk, Citabria, Decathalon, and even the SR20. Right from the start it was easier for me to land the...

I use a touch trainer at home to simulate the SR22. It works great.
