    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    I was going to create a thread just to see how people leaned one way or another (Paper or Pad? | Do You Have A Preference) was going to be the title. But, after thinking about it and seeing the reply from people on this forum, I've decided not to post anymore here. Its filled with to many...

    I'm sure your point will be well taken by the member who wrote LNAV+V on the forum. Thanks.

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    Exactly. Or, how dare you live my dream. Unbelievable, such people. And, to think that those attitudes exist in GA, is even more shocking. It was not like this back when I took my first lesson. I remember back then, real Pilots would go out of their way to help somebody new enter the fold...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    Your question is so abhorrently disconnected from the reality and purpose of the thread, that there's no real nexus to anything you've said that is cogent to the topic. Its a simple researched fact based on the science that underpins it. If you want to argue the facts of Propagation, then take...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    My question is predicated on the previous thread that lead to the statement. Someone posted a list of Approach Types they had researched and then defined them based on what they were able to find during their study. You'll have to read that segment of the thread and follow in order to...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    Planing ahead seems smart. I'm developing ATC expectations on PilotEdge. It really does help. I had two CFI initial flights this weekend and was able to actually work the radios from ground to landing. I've been practicing a lot in a real-time live online environment and it paid off for the...

    I'm Confused. Why So Many Navigation Types?

    Approvals nightmare - but it can be done. Don't need the hassle right now while running a business. Though, I thought about working with an attorney to run the project for me - but I could never let go of something so strategic without a day-to-day presence and direct involvement. It used to...

    Hello Back! Nice to have friends with airplanes, no doubt about it. :) In regards to your question about hours required: U.S. Private Pilot License Requirements: In regards to initial (beginning) reference materials that will be needed: ACS...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    That's a very good isolation: "For the first plane." You clearly understand the challenge. This has been a big function of learning what will be required of me as an IFR pilot in IMC downrange in the jet. I've been trying to balance the need to not cut tradition short by ignoring the...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    No. I design the algorithms that drive them in the currency markets. What do you do?

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    And, then there was one (1)! You were right about the Piper Malibu/Matrix. Both the Lyco and Conti engines for that particular OEM and airframe combination have a notorious history. Going back to the 80s, things look bleak for the powerplant and they apparently had hydraulic and nose gear...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    We don't really have time or space for me to cover this in any real detail. However, I will give you an idea from my own personal experience of how one could become a Private Proprietary Money Manager, because there is no book and no college or university campus that will teach you how to...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    Depends on what you mean by small. That could be a relative term. 8 times in what the FAA designates as SEL. 5 were private pilot lessons more than 20+ years ago (instruction received). 1 was the introductory flight. 2 were aerobatic flights in a Citaborea with a now retired USAF pilot...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    Yep, and thanks. For me, Training includes Private through Multi-Engine. Time Building includes getting prepared for a VLJ. Everything starts from near zero flight hours. So, there needs to be a plan of action at the foundation of such a goal. I estimate a 2-3 year Training & Time Building...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    Correct, it is not. Its a budget to acquire the aircraft for the Training and Time Building.

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    I run a business full-time. I won't be full-time training until training begins. The plan is not as simple as getting a Private Pilots License. If it were that simple, I would not be asking such questions. My goals go far beyond the Private Pilots License and far beyond VFR fair weather...

    Integrating Initial Training & Time Building

    True. It also the experience of owning, insuring, housing, maintaining, etc., a Twin Turbine that I'm going after as well. I don't the first complex ownership experience to be a VLJ. So, it both Flight Experience and Ownership Experience that I'm going after before getting into the VLJ.
