Yep. I got the King’s school get it all kit and passed the written then went on to get the lessons. Did it in a G1000 C172. Anything more than that is overkill. I highly recommend the G1000 by the way. If you can find one with a GFC700 AutoPilot you will have a blast and feel like a 737 pilot...

If you call the FSDO all you get is an answering machine that tells you to suck it. Unless it's an emergency; In that case it tells you to blow. Seriously though the airmen certification branch is closed. If any part of the process involves action from them... Well, You know the rest.

If you look at the files you can see the latest update was on 6/6/2017 Looks like they added Mac OSX support.

I had yet another talk with another pilot who was intimidated by the G1000. There is no excuse for this. You don't even need a checkout course to know what buttons to press. There is a free simulator by Garmin always up to date and available from this link...

Yea couldn’t recommend them. I never was able to get on their schedule. They are PACKED! Maybe someone can vouch for them. I know they have a C182T I think.

Ok, I'll shoot. I'm out of the Tampa area. Tampa Bay Aviation out of St.Pete / Clearwater has two locations (KPIE) & (KCLW) with average availability / good selection of aircraft. They treated me like family and are friendly. Josh is the head there and is the friendliest guy you will meet if...

@Flyfeld If you buy a 182.... or any airplane for that matter..... Get one with a G1000. You won’t regret it. You won’t regret it for IFR training. You won’t regret it for Commercial (most will have AutoPilot K140 or GFC700) (TAA) You also won’t regret it when you will be able to “lease...

I’ve done this with the stock level app that comes preinstalled on iPhones! I held it flush to the panel and it perfectly mirrored the G1000 Atti. Took it through a few turns and everything. On latest iOS it’s coupled with the measurement app.

Obligatory: King Schools

Get last years iPad 9.7inch w/cellular through your service provider since they’ll incentivize the purchase. I put mine in a life proof case. Trust me you won’t regret it. https://www.apple.com/ipad-9.7/ I had a 4th gen iPad that met its unfortunate fate with the floor of an FBO one day. Since...

They sure do love the idea of deploying CAPS. They encourage it so much in the standardization course I took. In nearly every situation short of PFD or ALT1 failure. I guess for every CAPS deployed it’s Λ life saved and another Cirrus sold since the impact causes significant damage and...

I recommend going on a cross country to an un-towered airport. Alone or with a friend. Just after that one flight, you'll feel so much better...... and.... free. I promise. After I got my PPL I was scared and hesitant to make that first flight somewhere. I bit the bullet and invited a friend. I...

@James331 If it makes you feel any better, I do have my HP and Complex. I also favor TAA. I had to replace an older CFI-I gentleman because he honestly had a tough time with me in the G1000 during my IR training. There are people who don't even know how to use basic tools in foreflight! Age...

I just want to clarify those 10 hours have to be basic total dual time received in a TAA. To make sure there isn’t anything else written dictating how those 10 hours dual are spent in the air. The way it’s worded makes me think it’s cut and dry but I’m used to the FAA never making it easy so I...

If an applicant had about 35 hours of training for the Instrument rating in a TAA aircraft (C172SP G1000 w/GFC700) Would these hours also satisfy the Commercial TAA training requirement? FAR 61.129(a)(3)(ii)

Location: KLAL Scenario: You are a C172 on missed approach instructions from RWY 09 ILS heading 360 @ 3000. You request the RNAV RWY 9 after switching from tower on the missed. The frequency is congested. You are 6NM north of KLAL @ 3000 when you get a new clearance: "N-C172 turn left heading...

My airport got our batch in the main tank synthesized following latest delivery. I guess there is enough reserve in trucks and barrels to get through this next day and Λ half on the current formula. Glad to see most of you are properly up to date with yours. Feds don’t like issues and screw ups...

I like that they removed the paragraph on top and translated it into the values near the minimums. I don’t like that they plan to remove the small sketch.

Anyone else got this survey from AOPA? https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ILSAPPROACH They’re trying to get rid of the airport diagram sketch.
