    Good Part 141 School?

    I am helping a friend who has an India-based company that wants to partner with a U.S. flight school to build up to large numbers of student pilots cycling through training, then returning to India to compete for airline jobs there. They are looking for a school that can take these folks from...

    Large Acft/Single Pilot?

    A couple of questions please: 1. I believe 41,000 lbs defines "large" for wake turbulence. Is that same criterion used for all references to large aircraft, specifically the type rating requirements in Part 61.31? If not, what would be considered large for type rating? 2. What is a good...

    Delay Vector?

    Back in that NDB post, a couple of folks referred to requesting a "delay vector" from ATC when wanting to buy time for a better set-up. I understand the idea and have done that before by asking for specifically what I want (e.g. offset, etc). Were they using the term generically, or is there...

    Tower Controllers/Surface Wind??

    When is a tower controller required to provide surface wind? In my old military flying days, I recall that the controllers routinely included wind in their takeoff and landing clearance calls. But I now fly light, high-wing GAs at a civil airport where it's windy/gusty most of the time. I'm...

    Recent instrument flight experience??

    61.57(c) discusses the recency of instrument experience requirements under actual or simulated conditions. Two questions: (1) Am I correct that to qualify as "simulated" conditions, the pilot must wear a vision-restricting device (i.e. can't just execute the approach/maneuvers unrestricted in...
