    Thanks guys and gals. Just one of those questions you think about while working towards the CFI.

    Stupid W&B Question

    I probably should know this, but........ What FAR tells me I have to have a weight and balance in the airplane for part 91 operations? Thanks. Seattle

    First month as a CFI...

    Good thread. I'm working my a$$ off trying to get my initial CFI done. The stories and experiences you guys/gals share are just what I need to hear. Congrats Gizbug. Seattle

    Building Time!!!!

    Are there ANY happily married (with kids) part 121 pilots out there? Is it really that bad? If a person isn't happy pushing paper around their cubical shouldn't they at least give flying a try? I'd hate to be at my current desk job 30 years from now without even trying. Y'all can see from my...

    Passed the CFI initial today

    I'm currently working towards my initial CFI. It seems like it's taking forever and costing much more than I thought it would. This may just be a result of me being a mooooron. I have a few questions if you've got the time....... How long did it take you from the time you first started...

    Headset

    While we're talking headsets…… Are the Dave Clarks more rugged than the cheapo headsets? I normally just buy the knock-off brands for $100; and accept the fact that they're going to be replaced in 2 to 3 years. If I spent $300 (without ANR) would I necessarily be getting a headset that will...

    CFI and ATP written test

    I just passed both CFI written tests without so much as a peep from an instructor. I saw the AC61-65D text and still can't reconsile it. Maybe there's something in FAR 61 about this? Seattle

    Cfi Question - Takeoffs

    I'm working towards a CFI certificate and it's causing my brain to think about all kinds of strange questions. So here goes…… Why don't we use short field takeoff procedures for every departure? On the surface it would seem like a safer way to operate. I've been told to incorporate some...

    question for CFI's (past and present)

    Earl, I'm also working towards my CFI. I got the writtens out of the way first and plan to start flying sometime this week. I haven't flown anything in about 7 months. I don't know if I remember how. Doing the written exams was an economic issue for me. I had to stop flying for a while...

    any charter jobs in the Northwest?

    Have you flown for AeroFlight? Do you know if they hire their CFI's for charter after they have enough hours (135 IFR mins)?

    First Dual Given....

    I've started studying for the FOI. Looks like a lot to know. For those of you who instruct, what do you remember most about your first couple hours of dual given? Anything about instructing for the first time that surprised you? Thanks. Seattle

    IFR Questions?

    Not exactly to your point..... but I have been cleared direct to an intersection after filing /U. I reminded them of the type of equipment filed and asked for a vector. I guess they're human too. Seattle

    Are Cessna 310's fun to fly?

    I see that the older Piper Apaches are fairly cheap. I don't think they look as good as the 310's; but are they cheaper to operate / maintain (4 cylinders vs 6). Anybody care to post some comparison numbers between the two types - cruise speeds, fuel consumption, typical annual inspection...

    time away from home compared to 9-5 job

    Good topic. Along the same lines..... If upgrades at your regional were running 3 to 4 years; does that mean that a 3 to 4 year FO is flying the same sweet schedule as a senior captain - just before upgrade? Or, do/can junior captains bid right seat to spend more time at home - thus bumping...

    Networking in aviation industry

    I posted a thread on this board about a billion years ago asking if anybody wanted to act as a safety pilot for me. One guy replied and we've been fly'n together for a few months now. In another 5 years we'll probably both be working for some commuter outfit or hauling cargo. When he calls...

    Still gona change careers?

    I'm going to have to come up with some kind of plan. Flight instructors that aren't connected to a school, FBO, club, or own their own are getting a bit thin in the ribs from what I can see. Let me bounce this off y'all. Spend one more summer of fun in the sun building time/experience in my...

    Still gona change careers?

    For those of you trying to switch careers (form the desk to the airplane, not the other way around :))……. How have things / plans changed for you while the industry is in a slump? What are you doing to keep a positive attitude? Do you have any kind of mentor that provides encouragement and...
