Ben ? Which Ben... I've lost track.

Yo Teller... Beech 1900 or Dash-8 ? Do you have a preference ? I have a special place in my heart for the Dash-8. PHL <--> SWF is usually a DASH-8.

Odd, how when the DPE/DE says, "take us back to ____" we have to ask if we passed. The definition of "old guy" seems to have changed over the times. It used to be someone with 30yrs in the company... now it's seems to be anyone over 30. LOL!

Holy Sh*t Batman ! I bet that was a learning experience...

The flight school I started with used the Cessna Pilot Center materials, which is a combination of Cessna and J&M King's program. I had to do the lessons and log them into the computer at the school. In the end, I use Mr. Gardner's and Mr. Machado's books to learn the material, then took the...

Nice job. You can't imagine how jealous I am.

Thanks Mark !

What feedback does the collective have on the Air Plains conversions for the 182RG ? I thought about finding a total run-out and put this conversion into it rather than overhauling the existing engine.

What did you read to lead you to questioning a retract ?

Well said, John. Add the 1st rule of Italian Race driving: What is behind me does not matter.

I found unusual attitude easier to deal with under the hood then VFR. The visual out the windscreen was very distracting, while synthesizing what the instruments were telling me was 2nd nature and had a procedure to recover. Now, whether under the hood or not I recover the plane from unusual...

Not that there's any pressure.
