CFI cert is about to expire in 2 months and i was looking to renew it while i'm stuck in europe. I've only ever renewed on the basis of my pass rate, so i'm not familiar with the (online) refresher course. I also haven't actively flown in a while and am not in the position to finance any flights...
Recently moved back to europe and faced with either spending lots of money on JAR conversion or finding a N-reg operator.
I don't suppose anyone knows of a company looking to hire FAA cert. pilots in the EU region? Pretty much looking for anything.
I'm looking for someone to do some helo training in the tulsa area with. Basically i want to do a CFI-H add-on in anything except a R22. I'd prefer a Bell47, but others would be fine too.
The school i went to before (allied helicopters) has closed its doors.
Any ideas?
Recently i've been asked to fly with an older guy who has a Private pilot certificate, but lost his medical. He also owns his own airplane.
He likes to fly, so he asks CFI's to go with him (since he can't act as PIC, with no medical). Basically how it works is, the CFI is the 'baby-sitter'...
Q....
I got a RH rating, but all my time is in a Bell 47.
I started doing some flying in the R-22 (gawd, its like half the size of the -47 :)), and i was wondering if i could log that time as PIC, before i even get the SFAR sign-off.
Now, i realize the SFAR specifies you must have 10...
WTF is up with this shat?
First time i've seen it was in the CFI test prep. It totally confuses me. Can anyone help me out with how it works and how it would be applied to a "real world situation" ?
thanks ;)
...i have to go to an airport about 6nm away to get fuel. The instructor insists on me not logging it as XC, because we go there so often and its not *that* far away. I respect his wish because his signature is next to the logbook entry.
But how kosher is it for me to log it as XC time when...
Actually, its not funny. It's pretty sad.
Spartan college of aeronautics (thats in tulsa ok) just upped their flight training rates.
A 1 shi.tty 2 is now a wuppin' $140 an hour. A 172R $160 and a 172RG $180. Thats dual AND solo. A seminole is $260.
I can get a baron55 for $180 an hour at...

From what i gather, the plane itself doesn't weigh more than 140lbs and MTOW is 375 lbs.
Engines are either: "Common are engines from lawnmower, motor-cycles, and also from RC models. ..... jet power".
Horse power range is between 18hp &...
Notice i used the singular form - i'm not talking about the entire breed ;)
Warning: This is a rant :rolleyes:
Today (4/14) i was flying out in the Tulsa area at around 6 pm. My instructor & I decided to head on over to 0F8 to do some landings. We approached from the west at roughly...
What could we talk about to keep this forum going? It would be a shame to see it go again due to inactivity :/ .

How about this question.
I got close to 40 hours in Bell 47's, doing the PPL add-on. When i do the commercial upgrade, should i do it in the R22 or continue in the B47? The...
Which is the best ~$300 headset?
I'm going to buy a new headset with gel ear seals, since they're really nice ;)
Which would would you guys recommend?
I'm currently leaning towards the david clark H10-13.4. But i also tried the H10-60 and thought they were really good.
Any advice...
I fly out of KRVS in Tulsa, OK. It has an average of 820 ops a day. Last week (i think thurs) after 2 weeks of bad weather, we had a record of 1913 ops for one 24 hour period.
Amazing, no ? :) I was flying that day too, but it didn't seem any busier than usual.
So.. how about your local GA...
