    wife looking for flight experience around jax

    Also make her memorize what information is included in each clearance, so that she knows what to expect in each transmission. If she have some "tags" to put the information she recieves on, she may be able to stock it in short term memory while at the same time keep on top of interpreting the...

    Which suitcase?

    Seems like the opening question is well answered allready, so let me throw another question: For pilots living out of their suitcases working contracts or staying at locations for 3-6 months or maybe longer, but without a permanent place to live: how much "stuff" is practical to bring along...

    Chinese Airline Flight Training Contracts?

    Beijing PanAm posted their job advertisement for instructors again today, on planejobs.com It said they had opened some new satellite bases. So I guess they are still expanding :) If I cant get visa sponsorship in the US, I might be interested in going to China.

    student help

    Maybe try to demonstrate everything again? When I've had problems understanding something, it has always helped to see it done by my instructor. I didnt believe ground effect was such a big deal until I sat back and watched my instructor float down half the runway with no throttle.

    Let's talk stopping on the taxiway, setting the brake & doing the after landing SOPs!

    My opinion: definitivly stop at the end of the runway intersection and do things when all the action is over. Or at least slow down considerably and do checklist while just slowly rolling forward and waiting for taxi clearance. When I rush it and try to turn off lights, turn off transponder and...

    Part 91 Instrument Approaches

    Here's my take on it: Whatever is not explicitly forbidden by the FARs, is legal. The only thing about IFR weather minimums in Part 91, has to do with alternate requirements in 91.169. Also, 91.175 only says you need the minimums on the approach plate, as well as having certain things in...

    Motor gliders

    I've flown L13 vivat for a short trip... felt more like a cessna 172 with slow aileron resonse. About the same glide ratio, proper airplane instrumentation, engine gauges, flaps, speedbrakes, landing gear...even had a constant speed propeller with digital governor control! As long as the...

    Tow Planes

    +1 for the pawnee. +2 for the pawnee if it is equipped with slightly stronger engine, four blade silenced propeller, and extra silent exhaust muffler. Fun to fly, lots of power, and glider tows can be completed very effectivly with "extreme" climb rates. The climb rate of a pawnee with two...

    Initial CFI question?

    Remember that you need spin training even if its CFII...anything initial needs spin training... Somehow I showed up for my initial without spin training endorsement!

    Flying, a dead end career?

    No way I'll do that unless everyone else does it too. Who will loose by "standing up" all alone? joke: if you could make the FAA consider low pay a safety issue (dealing with stress and worry over bill payments etc.), and incorporate wage demands as part of pilot training...maybe you could see...

    Quick Flight Following Question

    I think the AIM pretty much says you should state altitude. "with you" is not FAA phraseology, and almost not used except in certain training areas in Florida. From the AIM:

    Sure I'd go.

    Unbiased Verbiage for Ticket Factory

    I went to a part 141 school with license issue authority, and believe me: while it reduces the workload on the FSDO, it does not mean that the school is free to grant licenses as it so desire. FAA inspectors often sit in on the oral test without prior notice, and the instructors granted...

    CFI Reinstatement

    Maybe your instructor just gave you the introduction he is used to give or got himself. Its pretty common that CFI candidates work their way through all the material by making lesson plans for everything. I used the MEI/CFI PTS and made lesson plans for each subject therein, as it covers...
