I base it on my costs. We have an hourly rate my club charges for use of the aircraft and I keep fuel receipts. I make a remark in my log book it was Angel Flight with mission number. I also keep the invoice the club bills me for the use of the aircraft. And I keep a copy of the Angel Flight...

I'm sorry 6PC. I deleted my post a few minutes after making it because had "poster's remorse" about jumping into the argument. But thank you for answering me.

My advice: focus on your private right now and don't worry about the IR yet. There will be time for that later.

To the OP. Let me guess. You live in TX. The short answer is yes, they can do this legally. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/SOTWDocs/TX/htm/TX.25.htm#25.07 And before someone claims a hangar should qualify as an exemption due to "...a building used primarily for ... aircraft equipment...

Nah. Unless you really did bust the minimum VFR visibility requirements for the airspace you were in (and I don't think you did from the photo), then you did nothing technically wrong anyway. Can't see why a controller would want to talk to you later. But I'm not a controller.

Hi Dimtri. Welcome. And thanks for sharing. This is a great example of how few little things can add up and before you know it, you have a big problem on your hands. Great work in recognizing when you were in over your head and using your training to get out of a dangerous situation. The...

Tim, Consider this. I am a new member by join date and post count. One of my first posts was to the classifieds. However, I had lurked on this board for a little while before joining -- and hopefully had gained from the community knowledge and discussion. The reason I don't post often is two...

Yep. I'm your suspect. ;)

Some good advice here. If you're anything like me, you will be a couple miles behind the aircraft for a while. Don't let it get to you. Enjoy your time up there and have fun.

It's been a while for the OP, but if any of y'all are still looking for a club at GTU, with access to both a C172 and a 6 place aircraft (A36), check out my post in the classifieds...

I am in a 5 person Cessna 172M equal owner TX nonprofit club hangared in GTU. 180HP, IFR certified, 430W, auto-pilot, JPI. All 5 of us get along very well. We are expanding by adding 7 members and purchasing an A36 (also hangared in GTU). 12 members, 2 aircraft. Buy in is $21k / person --...

Several people have already touched on this, but I'll add my two cents. It sounds ironic, but to speed up your pre-flight try to slow down a bit. If I'm organized and methodical, I'm effective and quick. If I'm rushing and/or disorganized, it takes me longer. YMMV.

Nope, not Henning. This is Fisher.

I got the link from the following thread. But I see they've been superceded. PLEASE READ: Rules of Conduct have been updated.

Hello pilots, pilot wannabees, and hecklers[0]: This is my first post -- although I've been lurking for about a week because I've been home from work sick and bored. I tried to be a good little new member and read the "Rules of Conduct", but I noticed the link is dead...
