Thanks Jack !

I hear ya. Either you're healthy enough or not, but sometimes there are little gotcha's that being too forthcoming can make the process more dramatic than necessary. The choice of words on the medical form is less than desirable. Sometimes I feel like I need counsel present whenever I fill...

I'd have to live another 41 years and still be flying to reach your milestone. Congrats. Submit the package, it's no small feat and deserves to be recognized.

Way cool... Long may your roam.

Dude... good find. so cool!

I've got a Commercial certificate that's never been exercised. I tried to find part time non-teaching flight job, but here in central NC they don't exist. I've never really needed more than a 3rd class medical but because of my ratings I've felt like I should get a 2nd class medical. The...

I responded other because I "live" in UTC, but I'm located in EDT (soon to be EST). :-D

Anyone out there using the AOPA's medical programs ? Opinions ? Here's a link to what I'm asking about: AOPA Medical Services Programs Would this be better in Flight Following or Hangar Talk ?

Yup, you are correct. So cool that this show inspired you to become a pilot. Whatever you do, don't stop flying. I took a little break from flying due to finances... that was 4 years ago. I found it! Start date of FWA 2011 Fall

Does anyone know when the next season starts ? Re-runs have popped up on the DVR so I suspect soon.

Good point !!

Tim, Your description sounds a lot like the precision power-off 180, doesn't it ? That was my favorite commercial task. I agree there's a lot of ways to skin the "short field" cat. I've employed combination of all of techniques. Landing environment can be very fluid. That day was...

Hey Mark !! It wasn't important to me to get the sign-offs. I've flown with some very good CFIs and consider myself very lucky. This is the 1st CFI that I had doubts with. After my first steep turn, I knew I couldn't meet the PTS standards after nearly 4 years absent from flying. I did...

Jesse, except in the truly most difficult situations would I go from idle to full power in a complex & HP plane. I changed my "go-around" procedures when I started to fly T206H for that reason. Full throttle in the 206 is a lot of power to manage, add low speeds, high AOA and low altitude at...

I always loved John Deakin's column on AvWeb. Here's a link to the index of his column there call Pelican's Perch.

Bob, how often does ASA reprint your books with all the updates ?

Be sure to thank Senator Schumer.

I appreciate all the discussion. I've been planning to renew my medical this year, but the Wings Day occurred before I had started that process. I informed the CFI at our initial meeting that my medical was expired and that he would be the legal PIC. I'm not sure he was all that happy about...

After 3 years, 8 months and 14 days, I went flying. KLHZ had a Wings Weekend at the airport. I hadn't planned on renewing my medical until after my annual physical with my personal MD. I got some conflicting information about whether or not I could complete the BFR flying portion with an...

My trouble would be paying for the flight/instructor time. When I started flying it was $85/hr wet. Now, 172S G1000s on the flight line mean $155/hr then add an instructor at $45/hr and that is some serious coin. I did my instrument and commercial basically back-to-back. Jesse, you're...
