I could be wrong, but preplanned go around to.

Im inclined to agree with you. A seneca or b58 May be up to the task. Pressurized maybe a 421 or 340.

Let me clarify on the ops spec. Imagine that an operating certificate (certificate that says your an airline or on demand operator) is a charm bracelet. With no charms. So it’s basic. Now the regulations spell out some harsh restrictions. One for instance is the minimums a crew may operate on...

Congratulations! Remember, there are those who have (you), those that will (others), and those that lie (everyone else). I’ve packed doing my multi commercial training. SE under the hood on a hot bumpy day. Rrrrraaaaallllffffff! I once had an eyelash in my eye while under the hood doing my...

The reality is in a 121, the FAA has a huge amount of control. Everything we do is governed by the regs and the Op Specs that is attached to our operating certificate. There are a lot of restrictions. Moral of the story is, we’re not trying to be jerks if we don’t cancel airborne (or something...

And FYI for those that don’t know. Not all IFR traffic is allowed to cancel airborne, even in crisp VMC days. My company is restricted by the feds from doing so. So something to consider. Plus be mindful in the pattern that large fast jets may be coming in. We are generally mindful of the guy...

But it sounds like the guy has his certs. We’re probably not giving him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, insurance would have some solid requirements, so there is that safety benefit. Also after I got my instrument ticket, I was always trying to get actual. Looking back, I really knew...

You bring up a very good point. One that has always been in the back of my mind, but one that I haven’t really acknowledged. Something to consider for sure. But I guess that’s reason enough to do the flying. Give someone every chance to succeed.

First question, how did you do your math to figure that number. I want to own an airplane and need to find a way to justify my expenses. Second question, when do you want to hire me to be your pilot? I’ve got experience with known ice, above 15000, personable, and I charge a great rate! In all...

The irony is not lost on me lol. Twin_Flyer thank you for the info. Ile look into the ride along option as well. I think I know the answer, but could you elaborate on the highs and lows?

Okay very good! As someone who has never done anything like this I’m doing my homework. It has always been a dream of mine to do these types of flights. Tax deductible is a bonus round, though I’m looking to do these anyway.

Well, first off I’m no angel lol. Second, I listed angel/ mercy flights. There are some religious organizations running these types of operations. Religious preference may be a consideration for these operators. Third, I actually do not know who ultimately runs, has controlling interest, or...

Hello all, I’ve always wanted to do angel/ mercy flights. I currently rent. I have a few questions. Which would be the best organization to look into? Tax deductible? Things to understand? Also I’m not religious so that may be a consideration. If I get within 10 meters of a church Ile likely...

Seriously though, I think a #2 could be a real problem. Especially if it’s all liquid and juicy. What are you to do? I guess you could go cheeks to the storm window in a Cherokee. Hopefully it’s a rental. If it’s solid it may damage a control surface. Crap, what am I to doo?

In general, would you all include hangar, annual, insurance, fuel/oil, overhaul, upgrades in that 4x fuel cost approach?

I sooooo want to own. Ya I know it’s expensive. But the freedom to do what I want with MY airplane, is very appealing. Only thing is, can I afford it? I’d have to finance it. what will ownership actually cost me? If I knew that answer then I could make a better go/ no go decision. Then of...

I agree with every one here. Initially check to make sure ur not being charged for services not rendered. Then sit down with the chief and explain that you need a timeline. If the chief doesn’t creat a reasonable outcome, new school

Simple, do this with your CFI Ask for the option. When you get down to the flare, don’t. Just keep flying. Start out flying over the runway at 50’. Then do it again at 25’. This will get you more comfortable at flying low and slow. In fact have some fun drifting to the up wind side of the...

Watched the video. Aside from the paint, is a beautiful plane. Paints ok, doesn’t appear stellar tho. I was wondering if perhaps he wasn’t wanting to actually keep it himself. Someone mentioned building the plane you want. Maybe he did that.

I totally feel ya tawood. After I got my instrument rating I was all about getting some actual IMC. In CO it can be tough because too cold and ice is at least predicted. Too warm and the risk of thunderbumpers was present. So on those magic days where it was forecast to be cool stable and IFR, I...
