    Seaplane rating...where?

    Have you looked at Quad City Seaplanes? I got my SES there using a 180. It's run by Jim Goetsche (sp?) and I'm pretty sure he's listed on SPA's website. Anyway, that'll get you your SES rating and your high performance endorsement all for about $700 (fall '02 rates when I did it). Oh and all...

    How do I go from CFI to Corporate pilot

    Re: How do I go from CFI to Corporate pi Flywrite I agree with you. I've got a little over 700 TT and 30 hrs MEL, but I was asked to copilot for a profitable business in Springfield, IL. Seeings how (local dialect added) I was able to expand my connections with people and have shown myself as...

    Is it Part 91 or 135??

    Re: easy solution I'm not sure where you are located, sir, but where I am we are the only ones to do this sort of thing. Besides,what kind of "pro" were you refering to? You seem to have an answer that's full of logical holes of reasoning. Thanks for your input but no thanks. If you're...

    Is it Part 91 or 135??

    Why then, would our C-172 be under our Part 135 certificate?? How many people does anyone know that would prefer a C-172 over a Bonanza? I have yet to find an example that suits me just yet. One of our mechanics who is an experienced mechanic on our field asked a fed and he cited that it...

    Is it Part 91 or 135??

    Listed under Part 119 for Air Carriers and Commercial Operators is an exception (i.e. "this part does not apply to - ) listed in 119.1 Applicability, and lists numerous things a commercial pilot can do with his or her certificate and not be considered to be operating under Parts 135 or 121. If...

    Seaplane possible in the midwest

    I just did mine in September up at Quad Cities SPB with Jim Goetsch. Great guy and very knowledgable instructor. I think he still may be doing ratings as long as the weather holds out. PM me if you want more info.

    Dress Code

    I'm almost always seen wearing my khakis or my "nice" jeans and a polo shirt. In a 172, a shirt and tie is just a tad too much. Of course, I just had my boss and owner tell me that he didn't want me wearing my jeans until the weekend for now (b/c of the fall wx) but am still confused on that...

    Expired flight instructor certificates

    I'm also working with a corporate guy who wants to renew his CFII ticket. My boss, who also happens to be a DE, has told me that it is the norm (at least in our FSDO) for them to take their CFII reinstatement ride and for that to count for their CFI ticket as well. We've worked on right-side...

    accident with no violation & employment

    You can also request the "docket" from the NTSB Public Relations Office. I'm still waiting on my whole docket, but the lady I talked to helped me out by providing me a table of contents (TOC) and in it it listed the NTSB report (which anyone can get off the web) as well as the FAA report (about...

    declaring an emergency

    Typhoon1244 <Please explain to me why it was somehow unprofessional of me to declare these emergencies. I'm not out to lynch anybody, I just want to understand this mind-set, because right now, I don't...and I don't see how experiencing any more emergencies is going to change my mind.Please...

    career decisions

    I second bobbysamd. Enjoy that what you do. I'm amazed at the students that I've picked up who have thought of quiting simply because their instructor "didn't care". Keep a positive attitude, and remember that you're being paid to fly (albeit a low pay). Remember what it was like to solo...

    declaring an emergency

    One last bit of info: I saw one guy land gear-up three (yes three) times in a retract, at KSUS. Upon the third time, he said (basically) that f*** it, i'm going to helicopters. As far as I know, he's been flying R-44's for the past 5 years. Just goes to show you that if you have enough...

    declaring an emergency

    One other thing. If any of you have had the unfortunate chance of having an aviation accident give the NTSB a call and request the full file, which is called the docket. Anyway, the number for the NTSB to contact is 202-314-6100. Not sure if they charge for this yet, but it will contain...

    declaring an emergency

    In regards to GA, I've worked both sides of the "declaring an emergency". And in most cases, it's always best to declare an emergency. All in all, it is tax payer's money, but you are getting the benefit of having a skilled crew at your side. I've seen gear-up landings, as well as...

    2 jump pilot jobs available

    DZ's I'm not sure about most of you, but for the guy just getting out of college and working on their CFI ratings, this would be a great opportunity. I did it for one summer season and never once got bored with it. The problem most folks get into with most DZ's is with insurance - not having...

    Odd callsigns...revisited

    Kansas I thought that Kansas was one of the charter ops out of Kansas City. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe they flew Citations.
