Yep, thanks!

Company decided to relocate my unit over 100 miles away. From my office, you could look down on the runway. I worked that close to the airport. It was highly convenient logistically at that time and I was just starting my corporate career. I could literally walk to the airport from where I...

So, based on that, would it be a good idea to get the Instructor engage in trying to explain a topic having nothing to do with flying, from a simple concept to a more complex one - in order to determine their ability to offer instructional level communication? Would this more clearly highlight...

Great advice!

Nice to finally hear. Thanks!

So, that's the State of The Art in GA today? That its normal for for CFI to lead you down the path of error and then compound that error by sending you down range to the DPE who halts the train wreck from taking place later? Man, if that's the case, I'm in serious trouble. LOL, I'm just...

Ah, I see. Thank you. So, I was right not to "log" the time when I flew a C5-B Galaxy, T-37 Tweet, T-38 Talon, F-15C Eagle and F-111 Raven. They were all dubbed as "incentive rides" and/or "incentive training programs" that the commander of cadets arranged when I was a lowly USAF/ROTC GMC...

Both would blow the training and time building budget. As TarheelPilot says, the target is about 7 figures for training and time building which includes SEL and ME Turbine. So, I need to work within that budget. Regarding the DA42. I've been told that given it speed range with respect to...

Thanks! The 441 runs with Garrett, BTW. Yeah, I've looked at some annual numbers that others of put online. It appears as though you can get some slight relief in operational costs by doing unscheduled maintenance checks - a little bit like preventative maintenance on your car. Other than...

Can the moderator moderate this? Its basically off topic and a distraction.

I study something related to the Private every day now. Thanks!

Thank you! Very encouraging. Do you have any idea how much time he spend as PIC in each aircraft? That might be a difficult (impossible) question for you to answer, I understand. The reason I ask, is that 7 years to make that swing move is a mighty long time. I was targeting about 3 years...

Does the average student pilot sign up for a Part 141 school and then drop out once they gain an idea about what they like and don't like about it, before they go sign up for Part 61 flight instruction? Because, if that's the way the business works, I would probably seek to find another way to...

I have one response to a similar question here: Has the OP ever flown an airplane before? Loved flying it. Seemed like a natural extension of my body once I started applying Pitch-Power-Trim to control it. But, before Pitch-Power-Trim was used, I was all over the place. Even then, I was...

Thanks for the advice. Have a nice day.

I thought this part was relevant and interesting. What do you anticipate will change about this: - Private Pilot Study Course | Pass Written | Pass Medical - Intro Flights with Perspective CFIs - Select CFI - Buy Training SEL - Private License - Instrument Rating - Initiate IFR Skills...

I think he was Captain of the good ship Quantum, but I could be mistaken. ;) Your point well taken, however. I don't yet have one. I'm trying to finalize it. This forum visit is part of a much larger discovery process. 1) Check They tell me I don't need to rush that now. 2) Check 3)...

That being said, Garrett or PW? Does one have more reliability over the other, or are they pretty much equal within the world of GA?

Thank you. :) Expensive and technologically challenging as it was, I loved the Shuttle program. It made me believe that you can always reach for something most consider out of reach. As a kid growing up, the Shuttle was the biggest poster on my bedroom wall. Bigger than Tony Dorsett, Walter...

Thank you! That was very informative and rather interesting. It generally maps to the plan I had already created for going about the same process of selection, but it adds a lot of detailed texture that I did not know to include. Much appreciated. :) Interesting too that AOPA says to be...
