Pictures or it didn't happen Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'm reading the stadium TFR for the Sox game tonight, which reads: "THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE DO NOT APPLY TO THOSE AIRCRAFT AUTHORIZED BY AND IN CONTACT WITH ATC FOR OPERATIONAL OR SAFETY OF FLIGHT PURPOSES, " Does that mean that being on a code and in touch with ATC they can allow you...

I think I've found the question to ask when interviewing CFI's. Tell me about your CPL long XC....

James makes a great point, would you feel comfortable with a private pilot who didn't do the PPL "long XC"? How would you feel about a CPL who wasn't comfortable or experienced with what is a relatively minor and routine flight. I've found these longer flights enlightening and to be good...

There's a 300nm/250nm to the farthest point xc for commercial as well. That one can be done with a cfi onboard or solo. My understanding was that you should own that flight, not be using it for instruction if the cfi is onboard though. But legally you could combine the 2 Sent from my Nexus 6P...

That's right my '59 PA-24 has a light in the middle of the instrument pannel. Its on steady thought not flashing unless the stall warning switch is on the verge of a stall

I work down the street from the Boston/Burlington FSDO so I'd just go there if it were more than 20 bucks. Fortunately my DPE has the same policy as Z06_Mir

You still need someone to sign off on it in iacra. The choices are cfi, dpe or asi Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

My dpe didn't charge but I'd say 15 min is fair if they can do it as an add on to something else you're doing Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

One that comes to mind is this: 61.51 "(d) Logging of solo flight time. Except for a student pilot performing the duties of pilot in command of an airship requiring more than one pilot flight crewmember, a pilot may log as solo flight time only that flight time when the pilot is the sole...

That's true, find another definition of solo in the FAR that you like better there aren't many

Short answer, no. From 61.87 (a) General. A student pilot may not operate an aircraft in solo flight unless that student has met the requirements of this section. The term “solo flight” as used in this subpart means that flight time during which a student pilot is the sole occupant of the...

Would that be an STC or field approval?

As the owner of a Comanche 250 I can say that the operating costs are probably about 40% higher than the PA-28-151 I trained on but so is the speed. That means that cost/mile is about the same you just get fewer hours in your log book and its a bad deal for an IFR trainer if that's your need...

One option would be a PA-24-180 which is basically the same wing and planform as the twinkie but with only 1 engine bolted to the nose. Same switches and buttons just only 1 of them. That way when you get to the twinkie he has a bunch of retract time. I'd probably get solo'd in a C-172 first...

Sounds like the test was the automotive compression test, pull the plugs, insert the gauge, run the starter

As long as you take this as an opportunity to learn and don't view it as something to try again you've succeeded. You seem to have already put your finger on several things to do differently next time. I'm with @steingar though, if you haven't raced a storm you haven't been doing this long...

Dr Bruce?

Story please? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Clearly we need a column for the level of difficulty of the flight. AP used? GPS used? In flight weather? Check all 3 no credit for you. How about cfi time watching a student do touch and goes? What's the value there? Looks like everyone wants to **** on part 107 rather than answer a...
