Hey guys. If you're looking for a cool spot to vacation in the Caribbean, Samana offers great hotels, food and airport fees are super low. Here's my trip to MDCY from San Juan in the Kodiak. Enjoy.

Welcome to the Caribbean I guess? lol.. We are about to start the high season soon! What are you working on ZSU? CTR or APP/DEP? Goodspeed!

As Mtuomi said, First year captains easily make about 80K and after a couple of years, you should be way above 120K a year. Schedule is pretty good, Little to none night flying so you're always on the ground before sunset and airborne after sunrise most likely. Heres another video from couple...

It's not listed on Foreflight or Skyvector just because there's only Jepp Charts! But they have VORs, VOR/DMEs and RNAVs approaches! If you're willing, the company I work for is Hiring!!

Haaa! You know what they say.. a good landing ends in a stall! Joking aside... are you coming down this season?

Somewhere between 80 and 90 is a good number. Those hills are pretty close when you fly a plane that will do 200+ knots easily. Sadly, theres no Instrument approaches to this airport. The best option is shooting the RNAV into St Maarten and breaking off direct to St Barths once you have visual!

Yeah, I do fly for TW! mtuomi is still flying the PC 12 but back in Texas. Hopefully he'll join me again in the caribbean this winter season! He also happens to be a cook master!

Little french island in the Caribbean. About 15 miles south east of St Maarten's Princess Juliana airport. Pilots are required to do a checkout with an authorized instructor. If anybody wants to do that, let me know and I'll get you an instructor! Heres a video of my flight in the PC-12...

Yup. TJIG is usually using RWY09, however, when wind shifts, you get to see big jets like Gulfstreams, Challengers etc, landing this way! :cool: definitely a treat for the pilots and the people on the road next to the approach end!

That is correct! Winds were calm and was very early in a saturday morning!

Hey guys! Here's a quick video about my latest trip from Culebra (TJCP/CPX) to San Juan(TJIG/SIG) in Puerto Rico. Flew this Cessna T206H with a friend that just got his commercial! If you guys have any questions about the Cessna 206 or flying VFR in the caribbean, please let me know! Enjoy ;)

About 16hrs >< Bummer lol

20-30$ in Puerto Rico for Flight Instruction. Ground Instructors usually make $20.

I believe taking the Tower tour is the best thing to help new pilots get calm when speaking to an ATC... meeting an Air Traffic Controller gives you the reality check that you surely are speaking to another human being that has an understanding mind, not a machine that requires a certain input...

Hi there folks, Few months ago while training for the Private Pilot Certificate I went through my solo stages of Solo Around the pattern several times, Solo to the practice area 3 times, and 3 Solo XCs. On my first solo flight, when I landed my instructor was waiting for me at the ramp...

Hi there people! I hope you are all having a nice time! I have a big doubt and I haven't been able to find a concrete answer on this. I would like to start my Instrument rating soon but i'm still debating if to go on a 141 school where I did my PPL or go with my instructor on Part...

My training was done under part 141, so my XC requirements were less than part 61. What I did was fly from TJIG which is Isla Grande airport in the island main city, San Juan, all the way to TJBQ, Aguadilla airport on the west side of the island. It is a quick 59nm straight distance line...

Thank you all for your great wishes.. and yes, Now i'm starting on the real learning process! Bugsiegel, Controllers have to speak english! Spanish is not allowed on ATC here. Just like the US. If you head over to a non controlled G airspace airport, maybe you can hear some spanish between...

Hello fellow AVGEEKS! Shamir checking in from Puerto Rico, Just got my Private Pilot certificate and will soon be getting into Instrument training! I joined this community back in 2012 when I was 19 and really wanted to learn how to fly. However, my possibilities where not so good until...
