cfi question

[Traumahawk]

I think Pathfinders were only produced in the first year of the -235 series....then it became known as the more recognized Dakota.

Hey Starvin' Marvin, you know which direction they 'landed'? Sometimes I'll park my car @ the fence on the south side with some good music on and watch people bang em' in. Guess I missed a show....and a possible mid-uh, ground collision.

They would have been glad to run into my car though as far as worth....lets just say no paperwork would be filed!

The CFI that was with him will have a little fun with the FAA on a 709 ride. It is not a question of "if" but a question of "when". I surely would know the aircraft inside and out if I was a CFI and being "paid" to provide flight instruction.

Depending on the FAA review of records/logs you may or may not have to give a statement since you did ( as you stated) provide instruction to him regardless of whether or not you signed him off.

i'm surprised "jesus of aviation" didn't have anything to say.

Well since you invited, I will speak. It always helps to be specific when asking for help. Perhaps if your friend had been more specific he wouldn't have jeopardized his career.

BTW, Avbug , wasn't the Dakota a twin engine tail-dragger that carried Pathfinders to the DZ?

..and never been in a 235...which is not a cherokee six.

Well, I have found that a lot of people mistake the various planes in the Cherokee family, and the 235/236 and the Six have similarities without being the same aircraft. I have friends who have both a Dakota and a Six. If you know what you're looking at, the differences are easy to see. Just trying to help out.

Most of the time, the longer tapered wing is pretty docile on landing, and the hershey bar wing, which is shorter, takes more finesse, as it is more "brick like". Certainly fuel management is critical on the Pipers compared to the "both" setting on your garden variety Cessna fuel valve.

If you gave no instruction in the aircraft, I would not be concerned.
