As long as your certificate says "English and chute pull proficient" you're good to go.

There's a lot of truth in the saying that it's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Seat numbers come into play with 135 and 121 certificates.

I'll take a TBM, thanks.

The 9.7 is the standard size. You're thinking of the giant 12.9.

As for estimating distance by sight, it's an experience thing. One way to learn is to look at the gps distance every time you approach an airport, and learn what that looks like for various altitudes and airport sizes. For airports you regularly fly to, pick out a couple of obvious landmarks on...

It would depend entirely on what exactly you have as an existing autopilot.

Even that has the exact same two-tone design of the aircraft symbol that he claims is a FD.

Please provide a source for your information.

That isn't a command bar! That's Garmin's standard style that they've used on every single PFD they've ever made. Look at a G1000, or a G-anything, the symbol has that same two-tone shaded look. It is NOT a command bar, and you're probably the first person in history to insist that it is. The...

In addition to the official documentation from Garmin proving that your statements are totally bogus, there's an endless list of review videos on YouTube showing the G5 in flight with....gasp!....no command bars. Etc, etc.

The manual clearly says the "command bars are removed from the display". What is the source of your information?

Read the page from the manual that was posted again. If there's no input for the FD, it's not displayed.

For those of you currently in training, I'm curious if any would be interested in an audiobook version of the various government publications (such as the Airplane Flying Handbook). I drive a lot and enjoy being able to listen to books along the way. Due to the lack of copyright on government...

If you're bothering to wear a collar like that, you should take the time to do it right. Here's what those collar stays do, demonstrated on a decent-quality shirt. First is without, second is with metal stays. It's a small but noticeable difference.

The shirt looks much better if you leave them in, or better yet get metal ones, especially after the collar gets softer over its life of washes.

I guess the need for a shoehorn depends on the size of the foot relative to the shoe in question.

Every cabin class aircraft is that way, save for the rare few that have a pilot hatch.

Even that is likely on its way out. Unless you're a one-sectional VFR guy, you can pay for a backup device in 10-15 cycles worth of paper, much less if you travel farther. And if you have a smartphone, you already have a backup device. Battery life is a non-issue with even a bit of planning.
