Well I live in Jacksonville, usually. But I'm in Afghanistan until the end of July. You should come visit! Very warm here. ;)

I have found that reading the forecast discussion helps me immensely. So much so that I tend to use the discussions as just about my sole weather source until I get to <24hrs. Then I start looking at all the other weather info. For the OP, here are the links to the forecast discussions that...

Well I wouldn't go that far. The 124 and the 225 share the same fuselage. The 225 just has a wing root extension with an extra engine on each wing, plus the twin tail. Oh and there are the fuselage extensions to make it longer. Okay, nevermind, it's bigger. It just didn't seem that much...

My profile pic is me sitting in the cockpit of one. :D <-----

It appears you've already bailed form this thread, but I'll mention it anyway. The part of the brain (frontal lobe) that handles impulsivity is not fully developed until the ages of 23-25. Anybody younger than that is going to have difficulty (to varying degrees) with impulse control. You...

I know you didn't mention Amman, but I was at Marka airport once, and was surprised to not only see an active glider club on the weekends, but the airfield actually has a catapult system built into the runway to launch them!

Definitely cheaper to go PP-ASEL -> CP-Rotor, since getting 150 hours is going to cost gobs more in a helicopter versus a single-engine piston. I'm actually hoping to do this myself...if I can convince the boss to pay for it. My understanding is that some schools insist on students being...

Well there is a "Report this Ad" link at the bottom of the B'stormers ad so someone with more info than I have could report it as fraudulent.

For this reason, I like the idea of traveling away from home for the training. 4-year olds have a way of being persistently distracting.

I should start a new thread asking for the definition of "competent". One of the answers is bound to match my competency level. ;) Anyway, I only have 33 hours of PIC cross-country (probably 36 by my next overseas trip). So I'm still working on that part. Thanks for the info!

It looks like some accelerated programs require you to already have varying amounts of instrument time. I would think that it's a bad idea to get your first 10 hours (beyond the 3 I got from my PP training) of instrument time without an instructor. So is the assumption here that one would...

Darren, I suddenly have the urge to get my instrument rating with you. That reads much dirtier than it seemed in my head. I'm currently flying out of NAS Jax with the Navy flying club, but have considered flying with Kacpyr Gradzky over at Herlong...not sure if you know him or his outfit...

Sikorsky has a large-ish facility in West Palm Beach. Then there is AAR out of Melbourne, but most of their mechanic-type jobs involve overseas travel. There is a website called jsfirm.com that can really help in searching for current openings, you could give that a shot for some of the...

Methinks he doth protest too much.
