    Commercial Helo to Private Airplane?

    Help! I can't find it in the FAR's anywhere. Lets say you hold a commercial rotorcraft license, but you want a private airplane certificate. Do you need to meet the 40 hours of flight time that is specified in 61.109? The catch here is the applicant holds a commercial rotorcraft that he got...

    Citation Jets with Missles?

    Thursday night I was watching MSNBC's countdown with Keith Oberman. He was talking about the recent incident where Governer Fletcher's plane was almost shot down due to flying in D.C. without a transponder. This is what he said in one segment of his broadcast: "As the flight closes in on...

    CFI Oral Material?

    Ok, I know the Oral Exam guide and the PTS is all fair game for the oral. My question is, where was the emphasis placed on your oral exam? Is it evenly distributed across the board, or do some things not come up very often i.e. FOI topics, etc? I understand as a flight instructor we need...

    Downgraded Second Class

    The FAR states that a second class medical is downgraded to a third class after 12 months. Does this mean that you have an additional 24 months, totaling 36 months? If, by definition, it becomes a 3rd class medical, then it should be good for a total of 36 months. That's the way I read it...

    Furlough Explanation

    Sorry for thie ignorance folks, but I need help understanding what exactly a furloughed pilot is, and why it happens. I understand airlines get too fat, and need to trim. But why do airlines lay off/furlough pilots, yet hire new pilots at the same time? Is it a budget thing? Also, when...

    IFR without Approach Procedure?

    Ok...I'm drawing a blank. If you want to file IFR and your destination does not have a published approach, can you file to that destination? If so, how do you do it and determine alternate if there is no published approach?

    ASEL add-on to Commercial

    I have a friend who soon will have his commercial certificate, with rotory wing and instrument ratings. Question is, if one were to add on fixed wing to this, how do you get the PIC time in airplanes if not appropriately rated? Would you have to get signed off to solo, then get your 50 hours...
