    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    Thanks. According to Trade-A-Plane the Cirrus SR22 G6 would put me over budget when the Twin Turboprop is added to the fold for the time building portion. I want to keep all training and time building costs below $1M total. This Cirrus would blow-up such a budget when adding a twin turboprop...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    Thanks. That tells me what I need to know. In other words, I won't be worrying about learning it as a GA pilot, nor installing equipment for it in my airplane. Ok, that's one down and apparently a billion more Navaids to go! Anybody got a book reference that covers all Navaids and that...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    I had to thrash google on your post. Remember, I'm new at this and just getting up to speed. I've got a long way to do. What I found was: This seems to conflict somewhat with murphey, above. Unless, a /G equipped aircraft also contains other non-GPS related instruments on-board. Should...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    Thanks, I did. Having just looked at it from a purely technology standpoint, it seems cumbersome and high maintenance to manage for wide area navigation purposes. However, for strictly Approach purposes (and, I don't know if LORAN was ever used exclusively for this purpose) it would seem to...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    So, is the redundancy a fluke? Or, was redundancy planned so as to mesh with genna's post above about the number of so many different types of Navaids being a function of historical, overlapping innovation in advanced technology?

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    I'm a private proprietary money manager which basically means, I manage my own capital in my own firm. No third-party capital. Just in the interest of full disclosure. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with dreaming! That's typically how it all begins for those willing to work hard...

    Ok. Only 'some' cities provide all those "services" and things to do.

    YouTube Bans Firearms Demo Videos...

    Maybe because the original business model for YouTube was not a "for profit" model and somehow, that 'belief' still persists in the minds of some today - though no longer true, today. YouTube's TOS could be reduced to just one paragraph: "These are the Terms of Service. We are the sole...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    So, is the system getting closer to a single Navaid, that being GPS or GPS variants working in tandem with each other? Also, if buying an airplane for the purpose of cross-country flying in all (safe) weather conditions day and night, do I need to be concerned to any meaningful degree about the...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    Hello! This thread was inspired by DenverPilot's "And away goes VOR/DME RNAV...." thread. Why so many? I'm going to be new student pilot soon. I'll be purchasing my training aircraft (in case you have not seen my first thread, check it out and offer your thoughts on my question) and my time...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    One of my first two thoughts were the Piper Malibu and the Beechcraft Bonanza for their higher performance and because I've heard (through the grapevine) about their 'trainer0like' handling in the White Arc. Don't know if any of that is true, but what do you think about those two candidates as...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    Hello All! I thought I'd come out of the gate running with my first post, so here goes. Preparing to start actual Part 61 training (private/instrument/multi-engine). Because I'll be training full-time, I don't want issues with aircraft availability throughout the week - that's why I'll be...

    Too much plane for training?

    Hello! Can I dovetail off this forum topic, or would it be best to simply start my own? My question is similar but aircraft specific. It seems like we're both looking for the right Training platform.
