    It's official... BasicMed expanded

    true. but you removing seats is not "authorized by the federal government" - its just you removing seats and that "limits" the number of passengers. But that in no way is "authorized by the federal government". You're going to use the circular reference that requires a seat for an occupant...

    It's official... BasicMed expanded

    Chevron will help in that it puts you on a level playing field that their opinion is not gospel. HOWEVER, you are arguing uphill.. You can argue that authorized and certificated are different - but you have to adapt an argument that fits "authorized by federal law" and whatever that may vs...

    Lien Issue

    Dont title insurance companies require/expect a clear lien before offering said insurance ? Not sure person can get title insurance with a 3rd party lien - no matter how outdated or seemingly successor-less it is.

    Adderall & The FAA

    guys, if you want therapy - go talk to a therapist. You arent paying anyone here to sugarcoat anything. Anyone can essentially write anything they want. So deriding a comment, no matter how much you like or dislike the content or delivery - well, you got what you paid for. As Dr Bruce said...

    Lien Issue

    its apparent they couldnt. My version of "cleared it" is that if they give a thumbs up that this particular lien record will not pose a problem for me as a new owner. As Im familiar and trust their judgement on it. Not as in they have actually "cleared it" - because if they had cleared it -...

    Insurance broker recommendations?

    the value doesnt matter at this point. Its all a combination of aircraft value, your experience, etc. 100K plane that is a clapped out old twin that you have a fresh mutli is way different than a 100K 172 and you have 2000 hours of time. So without way more information on your part - their is...

    Lien Issue

    if aerospace reports worked on this and cleared it - I would get their note on it. And more than likely I would be pretty comfortable since I know their work, and they are reputable. That being said - it doesnt mean that there might be some road bumps to overcome when it came time for you...

    Tug advice.

    Depends on the manufacturer. No legal definition. But many are defined as an engine start and corresponding stop.

    Tug advice.

    If the option to fill is there via trucks - absolutely. But turbine aircraft generally dont taxi to the fuel pumps and then taxi back. The cycle count is quite costly. Thats why you tug there and tug back, or you can depart from there, but you have to get your tug back. yes, I'm at an...

    Tug advice.

    And if you had a hangar - would you get a dedicated tow vehicle AND something else ? Like I said - I like the dedicated in/out options (though not the sidewinder), but if you have the need to tow your aircraft to fuel or something, be aware of its shortcomings. And taxi the plane there would...

    Tug advice.

    my main complaint with the ac air tug is that our fuel island is a little over 1/3 a mile away or so. So its close to a mile there and back. The AC air tug is usually rated for a mile, but that means it must be fully charged before I go to the fuel island and back, or it just wont make it. So...

    It's official... BasicMed expanded

    insurance pretty much requires a class 1/2/3 medical for pressurized planes. So if you plan on flying any pressurized planes and want insurance - most dont/wont accept basicMed. If you regularly fly above FL180 then you'll need something more than BM. Obviously if you fly a plane that can...

    Balloon Ride in NM, recommendations?

    Probably too late but thought I’d put this out there. Check the notams at Taos. They are frequently out of avgas

    Purchasing a plane in an LLC / buy LLC?

    you dont want to purchase an LLC as you dont know what debts and liabilities are potentially involved. Always buy the assets out of an LLC unless you have done some extreme due diligence. Now whether you want to put your plane in an LLC. I used as that was what has been handed down as old...

    Tug advice.

    i hated the sidewinder. Got rid of it as it was just treacherous to use in tighter spaces. For a 414 - I would look at a best tug b8. I used on for my 421C.

    Spend my money - which autopilot?

    I think the cheapest option once you are in the STEC world, is to stay STEC as they give good credit for their installed equipment, and will "renew" your waarranty with your used servos. Do I like the Garmin GFC paired with Garmin, better ? absolutely. But its a cost factor and whether you...

    Instrument proficiency check

    As far as I know - no. I believe some things still need to be done in the physical plane - especially multi engine. But I think you need an actual landing and circling approach for acs for an iPc. Also this is for a red bird aatd though I don’t think a batd is any different. You will need an...

    Brokers

    Try selling a plane - and then you'll realize the necessity of having a broker. The amount of tire kickers wasting your time is really absurd (depends on the plane obviously). The group of pilots that come out is truly amazing. They believe a) since you arent using a broker, that they can...

    T210...Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I would look at getting it directly from Tennesee aircraft services to make sure nothing is edited. Though Tennesee aircraft may require a release from the seller. Paul structures his prebuy like a bulleted squawk list. You will see all the airworthy items (that were probably addressed) as...

    T210...Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly

    You have John jay wingfield in Texas. But if the seller is amenable to the prebuy information done by Paul New 2 years ago to be released, I think your risks are significantly mitigated with any abbreviated prebuy.
