Nice! Pics or it didn’t happen.

I wasn't when I posted that but your question had me think about it for a second. I suppose it depends who you are flying with. If its a CFI in the right seat with a lot more experience in type, then they would likely know that AC much better than the one under the foggles. But if you are...

Having flown safety pilot, typically its a handshake agreement on whats expected. Frankly, the left seat pilot knows the AC better than the safety pilot. If SHTF, I would expect the foggles to come off and take control or work through it as a crew. Your agreement/checklist isn't a bad idea...

Just go fly your friend and if he/she throws you a couple bucks, take it. Split the cost, get a free meal, whatever. We are talking about the FAA, not the NSA. Work it out with your friend and theres nothing to stress about.

Awesome footage!

Wings Over Waxhaw in Jaars (N52)

Yeah, I’m aware I can log it too. Just pointed out that’s what the CFI put in my log book. I will update my logbook. Maybe the guy forgot I was a Cert holder on the way out the door?

Thanks, I edited it.

There are a lot of issues with military aviation, obviously, but one thing that seems to work, particularly in the formal training environment is documentation. You go up and fly with an instructor/evaluator, you sit down and get a debrief or have a hot wash. Then there is documentation of the...

I totally understand your feeling. The VA programs can get crazy with the amount of funding they are throwing at guys. My case is a little different. I get a little bit of money per year for education for currently serving in the Air National Guard. Some guys use it for college, others use...

I am seeing a trend at this place....

You are right, there are always two sides to every story. For some reason though, he did check off everything on their checkout sheet and signed it as if I accomplished the items but gave it back to me so I could give it to the next CFI I was scheduled with in case it wasn't him and they would...

I'm not 100% either but I agree, I believe VA is also Part 141 only.

They are both 141 and 61. I informed them I wanted to do 61 due to my ground test done and hours rolling into it. They still wanting to push their 141 requirements on their 61 students.

Glad you were ok and were still on the ground when you saw something like that come up. Good catch!

Oh their prices are insane! I pay HALF per hour of what they charge wet for our club plane. My rational was have the Guard send the money there, I fly round trip there for $150. Pick up their plane and go fly for a few hours or take my wife to the beach and back and not spend my money. Its...

Thanks, I was gonna look this up anyway. I'm sure when they are notified they need to mail a check to the State of NC for $4,000, I will get an email or phone call from them as to why. There was absolutely no question that there was a safety of flight issue or concerns.

His ground training was one they use locally and they called it a Flight Review. We went over mostly the basics; VFR WX, airspace, equipment requirements, etc. It had nothing to do with local area procedures, G1000 stuff, even their checkout procedures. That was after the hour we spent while...

You are absolutely right. I was just so caught off guard by it, it took several minutes to compute what had just happened LOL

I would love to see the comparison. 141 advertises like you get more thorough training and faster but I just dont see how thats the case. I actually contacted this school before I had my PPC awhile back following a deployment after I had my written done and was post solo and they still wanted...
