    Worth it to renew CFI?

    Renew, absolutely, no question! A lesson learned years ago, don't ever let any kind of cert. you carry in your wallet expire, especially if the renewal is relatively painless and inexpensive. You just never know when something will come up.

    Flight Time limits? (pt.91)

    Just looking for an average, what self-imposed flight time limits (if any) do most corporate Part 91-only flight departments adhere to, say, for 2-pilot crews, domestic ops? Similar to 135/121 rules, or way off the chart, or, none at all? Thanks.

    Pit to Boi trip, need advice.

    Fly early, 6a.m. to noon. Lots of routes possible, but I-80 to SLC, then I-15/I-84 to BOI probably keeps the crossing elevations the lowest. I won't go into detail here, there's lots of info available regarding mountain flying, high DA, and leaning procedures, but, basically, learn to use that...

    Logging SIC

    The C550 may be operated either 1 or 2 pilot. It is my understanding that you (the captain) may elect to operate any given flight as a 2-pilot flight, designating himself PIC and you SIC. Provided you meet all the training and currency requirements of 61.55, you may then log SIC time. I'm...

    800 WX BRIEF problems

    Yeah, so, I just noticed a news tidbit from a few months ago that I'd missed. Along with consolidation of AFSS, L-M is supposed to take over DUATS/DUAT as well. (No timeline specified, just part of the grand Barbarians at The Gate scheme.) Thus the registration drill, I imagine eventually the...

    Check Airmen/Basic operator?

    OK here's the scenario: 135 Basic Operator, limited to 5 pilots by ops specs. Approved company check airman is a D.E., used on a contract basis, not a full time company employee (and not an FAA guy either), stays qualified per 135.295, 135.297, 135.299, but does not fly any charter trips. Does...

    Background check service

    Conversions

    I've seen King Air 200's with a double-width door conversion, not sure if it's available on other King Air models.

    Scheduling Software

    Our small outfit reviewed a few of the pay-for products, and settled on the free Google calendar. Not aviation specific, but so far it's covered our needs for an online company schedule.

    Small Business setup as a CFI?

    Where in Wyo? (Just curious, used to live there.)

    King Air 200 Training Facility Recommendation?

    Long Beach did a good job, and, IMHO, way nicer place to spend time than Wichita. But, at least when I was there this fall, Long Beach FSI's 200 sim is all steam gauges with a KLN90B. If you'll be in newer one with EFIS/FMS, etc., it's probably worthwhile to go to another center. (Especially...

    ATP from ATP????

    Hard part can be getting comfortable enough to fly to ATP-standards in a PA44 if you don't have any time in one. I went while current in a Cessna 340, and it was tough to be that good in a plane you're not that familiar with. It can be done, though. Maybe you could set up your next 121 ride as...

    NGO opportunities in Africa, Asia?

    This one should be required reading: "Acts of Faith" by Philip Caputo. A fictional novel, but a good read. Lots of aviation stuff in it. (Can't attest to the accuracy, I've never been there, but it was a good story.)...

    Tips on flying the Cessna 310 and 400 Series

    Here's another with some useful operating tips: http://www.ramaircraft.com/Maintenance-Tips.htm One good general operating tip I've heard, regarding power changes, is to treat every power change as if you're holding a raw egg(s) between your hand and the power levers (especially the...

    King Air 300 Type

    Not good for the 1900 anymore, 2 different type ratings, unfortunately.

    When to pull power back on takeoff.

    If this is a poll, I use 1000 except for time-limited engines or maybe special-case noise abatement.

    Aspen 12/28 - 12/30

    Molly Gibson Lodge for decent moderate cost, close to downtown. Ask which rooms are available, some are better than others (location-wise).
