You can request the approach, from experience I would say most approach controllers would prefer you tell them that when you first check on as sometimes their spacing and planning is planning on aircraft receiving the visual approach if the weather is suitable for it. In the airlines most of...

You ARE seeing the sight picture, you just think it's wrong! Take that sight picture your instructor is showing you and realize that is the correct sight picture and that's how it should look. Maybe now it looks wrong because you think it should look something else, you just need to replace...

I used to instruct at a large school, and I was making no where near that!! In fact I think with maximum seniority and highest pay rate the instructors still aren't getting even close to that. Those salary figures are way off and I'm not sure where they got them. As others said search for open...

Speaking of this topic I went up tonight to do some laps around the pattern to keep my single engine night passenger carrying currency up, with riddle on spring break, it was me and only one other plane up, was a rare, nice and quiet day in the loop at daytona!

It was odd at first, my first few landings int he right seat during CFI training left a lot to be desired, but over time you learn it and it becomes natural, now i can swap between left and right seats in just about any single I've flown and feel comfortable. Even in the airlines when i first...

I did my multi in a DA42 L360 also! I’m surprised there’s still versions of the da42 like that still flying around It’s been a while I can’t remmeber how we used to plan it, wish I could help out, good luck!!!

My bird is based in DAB. And the amount of Hobbs I waste on the ground drives me nuts sometimes! But I’ve learned the tricks to get in and out of dab quick. They do a lot of intersection departures and tend to give non flight training based planes the open ones since we don’t spend as much time...

I don’t own a 337 but toss me in the like it boat, went for a ride in one once. Just such an iconic look. But I have no good insight to really offer Also just want to say a piper matrix/mirage are low wings that don’t require stepping on the wing!

absolutely, especially considering in the 22T and TTx you got a turbo with the option for FIKI. the turbo offers a huge performance increase especially for not flatlanders, and the FIKI adds that extra bit of utility should the time or need arise, such times you might be stuck on the ground with...

easy way to describe it is the cirrus side stick is actually a side yoke. as mentioned above it actually moves in and out, like a yoke does, for pitch, for roll you roll it left and right the TTx had a joystick, mounted on the side, meaning it pivoted around a central point, to go nose down or...

Having flown both I can say that the TTx did indeed handle better than the cirrus, the control linkage with the sidestick was phenomenal compared to the citrus side yoke. However other than that and the speed I think the Cirrus is an overall better package. A 22T is fast enough, much greater...

From a fellow freight flyer myself, congratulations on you’re retirement successful career!

Meanwhile I can’t get the gear on my 182 to even go up! :eek:

I know how you feel! I go out to Snowbird, Utah every year, last year was a bummer, conditions day one and two were good, the rest was not. Warm, very warm and not much snowed. It was warmer at the base of that mountain in utah than it was at my home in Florida. I'm heading out there two weeks...

You’re forgetting the 767-300F bathroom is IN the flight deck that may fend some guys away haha For me if we’re assuming we can by default afford the mx and fuel then TBM-930 If we have to assume we can actually afford the mx and fuel then SR-22T

The G1000 as a base functionality for VFR flying is easy to use. However it can do a lot more if you want to take the time to learn it and the more you use it the more you’ll learn it. I really think you’ll get the most out of it by going to the plane with an instructor and actually using it I...

instructing for a few years with students always asking those little details helped me learn it all! still can't seem to shake it away!

They've been around quite a while. I always notice them cause it's the only operator i see with the SSJ operating into the United States. Did some searching looks like they've been servicing specifically the New York area since 2012

One of My best friends was actually operating a 757 to one of the Hawaii islands when that happened. They had no idea, he first heard about it when he landed and saw my text about it! I’m sure each airline and each specific dispatcher is different, and perhaps he was far enough out at the time...
