The high interest 3rd party loans are unsecured loans. Most student loans are unsecured as well, but with the caveat that you cannot have the loan burden discharged through bankruptcy. The best source of information is UND's financial aid office. All colleges have an entire staff dedicated...

Buy a head lamp. One with dimming features. Red/white or one of each. I have a year long project going to do a battery powered/low voltage strip that clips on and under any plane's dash. But the headlamp works just fine and thus the reason my project stalled. Even in a cirrus i still use...

Yeah, i get it. My point is, you don't own the airspace regardless of what arbitrary rules your flight school has set up. Nor should you be a drama queen about having to change heading 5 degrees for a maneveuring plane. JMO of course. I appreciate my airport's practice area, everyone uses...

Ask the stuck up ATP instructors, they'll let you know how the cookie crumbles. On my last checkride i went to a practice area i had never been to...the atp guys kept calling this "box" and that "box", of course none of it charted. Then they would "hand the box" over to the next person...

It amazes me how little most pilots know. Not that I am some aviation God sent to show everyone how little they know...but I am grateful I have a technical background and I at least feel it helps me process some of the information. I mean statics class is a semester long and is essentially...

I always hope to find cheaper rates than my main school. But seminoles at 189 wet and instruction at 47, it doesnt seem to get much better than that?

I think there are some benefits to ground instructor certs. Namely, it locks in your foi written test for the rest of your life and it lacks some record keeping requirements. I don't think you can make a living wage or do more than buy a couple hours of flight time with a ground cert. You...

I've found the legal interps to be pretty easy to search. You just need a lot of parenthesis if searching a specific FAR. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/ Pop in 61.129(a)(4) But I generally agree, just write it into...

I've heard conflicting reports on whether one can log dual or not with a "supervised solo." I can only imagine one is robbing themselves of experience by doing that. And if you're comfortable, why pay for an instructor to sit there. I doubt anyone is really "screwing the system" in a single...

As with most things pertaining to FAA, trying to apply your logic to their's will only leave one in frustration. Although, I've found this to be a good requirement. Many of the new CFIs, this will be the only time they leave the area around their home airport. Doing it solo opposed to...

I didn't say that. I'm saying it's REALLY good money. Every job has it nuances, stresses and difficulties. But you'll have to excuse me if I'm not able to empathize or sympathize with how hard it is.

3 non advanced checkrides per day. 3x$800 is $2400. Technically they could do an "advanced" and 2 "easy" rides for $1200 + $1600. I know most are just doing us a favor though.... This isnt to say i think they're bad people. In fact, I've had poistive experiences with all of them. But...

Other people who don't understand supply and demand....members of pilot unions. Or those who don't understand that for there to be "supply and demand" there can't be forces which impact the system. The system must be free to react to changes, which the DPE market isnt. I get it, these guys...

Denver area. Private may 2018 = $600 IRA dec 2018 = $600 Comm july 2019 = $800 Cfi oct 2019 will be $1200

I can't remember if this was the agi, fia tests or the igi fii tests, but there were some helicopter questions on one of the ground instructor test banks. I didnt pony up the cash for sheppards ground instructor "courses", so i got them wrong. It was only 2 questions on one test (ifr mins...

Theres something in the AIM not to fly if winds aloft will be greater than 25 knots. So winds aloft is one way to guess it. I also look for high or low pressure over the area. Also in the summer in the rockies, not flying past noon is my general rule for the monsoon season. You can check...

Accroding to the FAA, this is not correct unless it was specifically logged as covering the areas listed in 61.129. How it gets applied in practice varies from examiner to examiner.

Following up...DPE didnt ask a single question about instrument time and i didnt do any further notation about 61.129.

Its almost like they have a specific training to teach you all this.... I used to be really ****ed i had to pay for all those training videos, but in all honesty, they are well done and leave little to talk about when it comes to things like, "should i land full flaps after the runway...

They used to sell kits. I see a few experimental Cirri around from time to time. Mygoflight houses one at KAPA.
