You have to pay for the videos on cirrus approach, but Klapmier had a mid air in the 80s. The kool aid is that they wanted to integrate a frame parachute from the beginning to make the plane safer. Klapmier goes on to say that it is completely false that the plane had to have a chute for...

I assume you mean 61.129. I had a similar question about the instrument training. You can see it here. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/commercial-requirement-questions.118466/ The short of it is, technically no - holding an instrument rating does not automatically fulfill...

One thing I am doing is writing the lesson plans for the commercial maneuvers and I am practicing them like I am teaching them. Also, Kershner's flight instructor manual.

Just got back from the FSDO. I had my tests (FOI, AGI, IGI) and an ID. Walked out with a temp cert 15 minutes later. No mention of an endorsement to obtain the cert.

and remember. you're only supposed to fly DME arcs if they are "charted and available." My DPE made me fly a random DME arc, I didn't have the heart to tell him mid ride that I shouldn't be tested on an uncharted DME arc. But, one of the approaches we flew had one (Which I got RV to), so I...

It's what I love about an e logbook. I put in all my passengers, I can attach photos etc.

No, I meant 50 as per ACS. For the rest of what you said, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about has to do with steep turns. But I'll trust if I was smarter or in construction, I would understand it.

Pssst...it's 50* +/- 5*

I can't find anything in the FAR's that say an endorsement is needed. 61.213 is where I am looking. Does anyone have a source?

I can be a bit dense at times, so I need a little help understanding this logic. Trust me, I would love to understand it and have it work. Here is what the reg says So you're saying since the word "including" is there, I can have 10 hours of instrument instruction, given by a CFII, and...

Thanks for the ideas. I think I can make something work here without flying another 10 hours with foggles on. It's not so much money, but the time. CFIIs are hard to find these days since all these kids get are just their CFI.

What about solo xc?

Just following up on my situation. Which I am still confused on what I should do. AOPA took the Theriault interp to be as ludicrous that most of find it to be. So, it seems that asked the question that it seems the Theriault Interp implies, "did you (the FAA) just say that the requirements...

Not sure if you're directing your dislike of 300 hr cfis at the kind of experience they build or if it is at the regs or both. But as someone who will be joining the 300 hour instructing club hopefully this summer, i am a bit taken back by the kind of experience many of these kids hopping to...

I'm not trying to debate the logic coming out of the FAA, just trying to color inside the lines and get my commercial. So....does the CFI need to be CFII for the commercial instrument training requirements? AND can the instrument training be done in an AATD?

I guess I was going off the 2010 Theriault Legal Interp. Am I missing something?

yes, instrument rated. Yes I have instrument training, but not notated as satisfying the requirements in 61.129.

1) Can a CFI (not CFII) provide the simulated instrument training required in 61.129 for the commercial certificate? I found the Grayson LI which states an instructor "...must have an instrument-airplane rating on his or her flight instructor certificate." I assume that means they would be a...

I think $400/hr seems about right. My rental joint just had a bird go down because a PFD died. 2 aren't allowed FIKI because the panels won't wet out. dual bats, dual alts, dual computs, dual adahrs. One thing goes down, no IFR. I like to read through all the maintenance issues weekly to...

I like to go fly new places and get out of the pattern. And by pattern I mean the 100nm circle around my home airport.
