I plan to fly in the range of 200hrs a year, the airplane would be bought with no loan so that cost can be factored out. I plan on 1200/yr for insurance and tie downs at my local airport are $50/month. This will be a split ownership 50/50 I'd really like to operate at $60- $70/hr range...

I'd love a mooney, can't seem to find them under $50k

I've been looking at airplanes in the 35k range and have a few in mind but other opinions are helpful.. I want the airplane for mainly medium XC flights and to get my Intrument Rating.. Single engine, 4-place is what I am after.. My cap is at 35k but willing to do 40k (it would have to be a...

I can't decide on which of the two apps for my iPad.. They both look great and I'm having a hard time deciding on one.. Anyone ever use either one??

Yes, he is my current instructor. I said ex because I did my ppl training with him but I am not currently being "instructed" by him. We are starting my IR at the end of September.

This is the type of answers I was expecting... But this thread took a turn. Thank you. As for erasing the original post, its quoted in one of these pages...

If you actually read the initial post, I said around 6:30. When I landed I could still see the ground from sunlight. Maybe 8:20-8:25? I never said night, anywhere in any of my posts. Everything "night related" posts are just peoples assumptions..

"The boeing 747 was able to land....." Do they have fun size 747s now?

/thread (please?)

Any way to delete this thread? All I was asking was if my old CFI was justified to call me and chew me out over what I felt was a safe flight. I answered the phone expecting a "how was your flight?" but no, I answer to "So you landed with 5 gallons left, isnt that cutting it close?" After I...

I would never put my life and pax lifes on a "I hope I'm lucky and make it there". I planned my flight, burned the fuel I expected to burn. Got there on time. More than just great instruction, it was thorough planning. I've not seen my old CFI in 3+ months. I was PIC Actually, thinking...

No, I will not push the envelope. If I could have done something different, then yes, I would have gotten fuel. And as far as conditions at other airports around me? I had foreflight hooked up I ads-b so yes, I knew the conditions at all 4 airports. I have a license to learn and that's what...

I never exceed 2400 rpm during cruise flight

I apologize for the lack of info. The airplane was a DA20, burning 8 gallons per hour. And yes, I have a private certificate. Looking back and reading you guys comments, I know he was looking out for me and when on the phone with him I even thanked him for his phone call, it was just the...

Im just shy of 100 hrs and Ive never used the AP. 60 of those hours in a fully equipped Diamond DA40 with the G1000. I love flying the machine edit: Im all VFR for now

In a DA-40: *90kt on downwind, deploy t/o flaps abeam the numbers and begin my descend, about 300fpm-500fpm (depending on wind) * Turn base when runway is at a 45* * Slow to 80kt on base, deploy ldg flaps * Turn final about 3 miles out, use wind correction(shallow or steep), slow to...

I'm just east of you over at Sanford, KTTA :(

+1 Even when I switch tanks during cruise flight, there is a 5 second period where I hold my breath :redface:
