    Accelerated PPL Training - References Needed

    vsc, I did not personally do a checkride with them but I do know that 2 or 3 dpe's they use on a regular basis seem to have good availability for them. I was a few days from a checkride when I had to leave and they were gonna call and get it scheduled so I would think if they can book at that...

    Accelerated PPL Training - References Needed

    I can recommend Kingsky Flight Academy in Lakeland, Florida. They treated me real well. Just be sure to speak up if the instructor they put you with isn't working out for you after a few flights.Planes were in great shape and enough of them that scheduling wasn't an issue. Flew 3 times a day...

    Commercial Written: W&B question where all three answers are wrong

    When I took the commercial written a few months ago I ran across a weight and balance question similar to that one. I chose the closest answer but it was far from correct. Actually got it right but didn't make any sense. I copied the question and answers word for word and showed it to the...

    Another Commercial Complex Question

    I have time in a turbine Air Tractor That's what some other people have told me as well, but explain this then FAR 61.129 10 hours of training in an airplane that has a retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller, or is turbine-powered, or for an applicant seeking...

    Another Commercial Complex Question

    I only have a few hours of retract time but a little over 20 hrs turbine time.....this meets the requirements for complex time for my commercial right? Or am I still not understanding it right? Did they eliminate the need for the 10 hrs complex time altogether or just the requirement for a...

    Amp Gauge Pulsing

    Already swapped voltage regulator with new one and that didn't change anything.

    Amp Gauge Pulsing

    My amp gauge is pulsing quite rapidly on my Citabria and I'm getting sort of a chirping feedback thru the radio. I can turn all electrical items off like turn coordinator and lights and it's less but still there. If I turn radios off and leave strobe on I can still hear a faint chirping thru my...

    Landing practice duration/frequency?

    I bought my plane and hadn't flown a tailwheel before so a CFI friend of mine went with me to get it. We stopped at his airport on the way home to drop him off. I did 101 takeoffs/landings that day in 4 separate flights. Kinda got old after awhile but I was fairly comfortable after that.

    Commercial Written Exam

    Good luck!! One thing that will help is if you get the test supplement book so you have a better version of the illustrations you can follow along with as the Kings images are real fuzzy and hard to read, for sure the nav instruments like the HSI's.
