Even on the ground?

I leave the mixtures leaned and the props at cruise RPM. No need to foul the plugs and make a ton of noise both onboard and on the ground by going rich and high RPM. It's a non-issue to firewall it all in a go-around.

It was unbelievably good. It was also my first trip out of the country as PIC, and everything somehow went perfectly.

Landing at YTZ was a trip of a lifetime for me a few years ago. Fantastic location for an airport!

I would suggest you start on page 1 of this thread as we've already covered these points thoroughly. If you have a differing viewpoint, the forum and this thread would likely benefit from you explaining your reasoning with statements rather than questions.

Last I checked, I am the policyholder on my own policies. This discussion is about aircraft where you are NOT named on the insurance policy. Obviously they're not going to subrogate against the policyholder, that's silly.

If it's an option to them, you have to assume they will take it. Otherwise you're hoping that a corporation will accept a loss out of the goodness of their heart. Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but that's a risk to be taken seriously unless you are uncollectably destitute.

So if you have an accident that results in the total destruction of the $100k 182 you're flying, how much hull coverage do you need? We've established that the club's policy will subrogate against you for their loss. Unless I'm missing something here, you need enough to potentially cover the...

Maybe for liability only. Actually covering the aircraft as well is going to be more like 1% of coverage limit. Using Avemco as an example, 100,000/1,000,000 plus $100k for the aircraft is around $1100 per year.

Memphis is so quiet these days that unless you're out there during FedEx time (unlikely), you're going to get "approved as requested" for anything short of buzzing the tower.

There's an RV on VAF right now where the seller wants a signed purchase contract and full payment in escrow before you can view the plane. No surprise it's been there for a while.

If he had a bogus HP endorsement, don't you think the NTSB would have mentioned that in the report? That would be a headline item. That does not mean he flew zero other airplanes. In fact, if you bother to read the very next sentence, it says "In April 2013, he purchased a PA-28-236,". He got...

Still think the CFI should be violated?

No, it says "He continued to fly the Cessna along with a Diamond DA-40 and a Piper PA-28R-200 throughout the 10 months following his private pilot checkride, during which time he received complex and highperformance airplane endorsements." That does not mean he flew zero other airplanes. In...

Where does it say he got the HP in an Arrow? The question was how a pilot could get insurance without providing proof of appropriate endorsements. Not if they would pay out if you didn't have them.

As was said, he did have the training, but to the point of insurance wanting proof, I have never been asked for actual proof of endorsements or the required annual IPC for the Navajo insurance. In fact I don't think they even wanted a copy of my certificate or medical.
