    Another safe water landing?

    I am beginning to think....As long as you land at the right speed and angle water crash landings seem survivable! Not a bad idea if you lose an engine on takeoff or at altitude...ditch in a river or as close to the shoreline as possible...... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7874423.stm...

    Jet Aircraft Broker Salaries?

    Hello, I was talking to a Jet Broker yesterday at HPN who drove off in a Porsche 911 Twin Turbo shortly after we finished a conversation. Are all these guys making six figures or is it one of those career paths where a lot never make it and only a few excel at it? I am just curious as it...

    Corporate Jet Sales Career Track?

    Hello, I am wondering how hard it is to get into an aircraft sales position with a company like Gulfstream, Cessna, Beechcraft, etc. I would assume you need to already be a commercial pilot with turbine flying time and prior sales experience. I am assuming a career like this could be quite...

    Business Jet Sales..how lucrative and selective?

    I am posting this question in regards to getting into to business jet sales. It seems like it could be potentially a highly paid job since business jets cost so much. However, Id also imagine they (Gulfstream, Cessna, etc) select very few candidates. I am a regional jet captain, just wanted to...

    Airports near ski resorts in the Northeast?

    Sorry if this question is a bit off topic for the board. I have access to a 172 and wanted to fly to airports within close proximity to ski resorts in the Northeast (particularly the states of Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire) to ski on my days off from work. I know that Bethel, Maine has an...

    Delivering single engine aircraft to Europe and beyond?

    We recently spoke about how dumb a pilot was to fly over Lake Michigan at night in a single engine aircraft. My next question is.....when a Cessna 172 is manufactured in the US and someone in Germany wants to buy it does a ferry pilot have to fly it all the way from Kansas to Germany? If sooo...

    Extending 30-40 degress of flaps while turning on approach

    I am just wondering if it is safe to apply a high degree of flaps while executing a turn to final at low speeds? I never heard anything about it being dangerous until today when a fellow pilot I know said it could cause a spin due to the assymmetry of simultaneously banking and extending all...

    Ok heres the scenario: I am thinking about buying a 1998 Cessna 172 by financing it. I would plan to fly it about 10 hours per month, buy 100LL AvGas for it (obviously), rent a tiedown spot, do preventative maintenance, insurance costs, and have the annual inspection done. How much do you think...
