    Need plane + pilot at Hobby Airport

    Really, if you're going to do that - you should do it right, like in a (shiny) Twin Beech or something - but not a 172, well maybe a shiny new one with an interesting paint job, but your attitude about not caring about what kind of airplane it is kinda spoils the "Grand Entrance" concept. Do it...

    Would you send a student to this school?

    Depends. Why? Why are they looking for inexperienced? Could be they have a really good intern/mentor program where inexperienced CFIs are mentored, guided, and molded into really good instructors.... Older, more experienced instructors are hard to teach anything.....

    training in a jet

    Landplane pilots can fly seaplanes with wheels on land, and since you are a pilot, not a passenger, he doesn't have to meet night currency.

    Part 141 schools with initial commercial in multi

    The Jeppesen Commercial program, as written, is generically FAA approved. The syllabus will have to be "approved" by your local FSDO, but the program is written so as to allow either single or multi initial certification.

    Acronym for turning errors

    Being from the South, I can say this: I found it helpful to me to remember the Lag south as Lazy South, you know, since we all are retarded and slow, I can simply lollygag around and wait til the compass goes way past the S mark to start a roll-out. Likewise to the North, since all Yankees are...

    Instrument + Commercial - FARs (flight experience)

    You realize that the instrument hours you get while getting your IR will satisfy this requirement, right? And since the checkride is in a complex, the complex time needs to be chandelles, lazy 8s, and proficiency landings, as instructor.

    Instrument + Commercial - FARs (flight experience)

    No problem. Examiners never frown on extra training. Matter of fact, you could get all your commercial requirements while getting your instrument training, and be prepared to take the commercial right after your instrument. Good luck.

    IFR Flight Plan from Private Airport

    Yes. You can file a flight plan from anywhere. Did you ever file in the air? Having said that, there may be a problem with "the computer" being able to recognize the airport ID, so you may need to file as if you were in the air. You can work out that detail with FSS when you file.

    Recommended techniques on flying a tail dragger

    Now that's what I'm talking about. You said it much better than me. :)

    Recommended techniques on flying a tail dragger

    So, you never back-taxiied down a short runway and, upon reaching the end, 'unlocked' the tailwheel with a quick 180 into position? C'mon. I'm not talking about a real fast speed reversal, but slow enough to get a feel for rudder and brakes. 'jeez, Avbug. :rolleyes:

    Recommended techniques on flying a tail dragger

    It was standard U.S.Army Bird Dog (L-19) Primary Pre-Solo training. Yeah, it does work the landing gear somewhat, but it is an excellent training tool, and I guess it is cheaper than a real groundloop.

    Recommended techniques on flying a tail dragger

    Before you fly - do lots of fast taxiing. Matter of fact, the flying part of a TW is no different, it's the landing and take-off, or more specifically, the handling of the CG while rolling fast, at near T.O.& Landing speeds. So,...get on a side taxiway somewhere, or on the runway is best, and...

    How long should you keep flying in 152?

    Ditto, and even if it doesn't have a glideslope or adf, you can still do at least half, if not 3/4's of your IR in a 152 with 1 vor only.

    Visual Apprach and traffic pattern

    PIC choice. Most go straight-in, or as close as possible, but any PIC can choose to enter a downwind, unless directed to enter a specific leg in the clearance.

    Cfi (s)

    I'm sure he will take the FOI written, because it is a requirement for the checkride, and when you do the CFI-A, having a CFI-S will tell the examiner that you have already given your FOI written, but the question is, will the CFI-S ride have FOI on the oral? According to 61.409, no FOI is...

    Cfi (s)

    Good question. Ya made me reach for the old reg book. First, it's gonna be up to the Examiner, but, for fun, I looked at and compared the requirements of a CFI-A vs. a CFI-S. At first, it looks like the CFI-S has to take the same FOI written, but it looks like the CFI-S does not have FOI in...

    Sidestep on a Go-Around. Left or Right?

    Yes. Normally. For all the reasons you list, you would stay to the right. However, ..."it depends". Yeah, there are always reasons to deviate from almost every 'normal' situation. It is a judgment call. For instance, it's a dual flight and the PIC is the instructor who wants to keep the...
