[mattpilot]

Congrats mini!

spartan sucks, don't it? There ripping us off every possible way. www.cat13.com for some more pesimistic stuff


On a different note, did you hear the grupe-chinese story? Funny shat! Incase you missed it, pm me.

Congrats man...I bet it feels great to get that over with. I hope to be in your shoes come late summer early fall. Unless you care to copy your lesson plan book and fax it over to me. Maybe than I can be in your shoes late spring early summer =)

Congratulations Mini. Now, can you teach me how to hit the long bunker shot?

 

[Vladimir Lenin]

two to three degree turns to keep the LOC centered and 100RPM increases or decreases if you need to keep the GS centered...good...we'll get you signed off in no time (he actually chuckled at that one)"

ah, that's grrreat...i may have to use that on my ATP ride

Congrats on the rides folks! To answer the question, you don't have to do the CFI first, you can do the CFII first, MEI first, whatever. But whichever one, you do have to do the first one with the feds unless they delegate it to a DE. The feds are a pain in the arse.

Part 141 baby.....oh yeah

Actually going into the checkride, my TT (I don't put FTD time in TT column in my logbook...if I need it later, I'll add it in for the 8710 or application) was 182.6 (haven't updated online since I added in my time past the CSEL ride).

AH!...So, you have FTD time, in addition to the aircraft flight time you are quoting! That's what's causing the confusion...you aren't telling about the FTD time...How much? Just curious, and I want to know more about the "reduced training time" program where you are.

24 Hours of FTD time. 15 in the instrument program and 9 in the commercial program.

The reduced program for the commercial is a PITA. Stage 1 is a ton of VFR cross countries. It sucks. Stage 2 is maneuvers in a 152 (or 172 depending on weight). Stage 3 is in the 172RG for 8.5 hours then the stage check for 1.5. Then you have a check ride with a DPE or "retired FSDO inspector".

It really should only take a month tops...you can do the stage 1 in a week...stage 2 in a week or so and stage 3 is only like 6 flights, so....no biggie....for some reason I've been in the program for 5 months. Oh yeah...I know why...I had to wait a month for a stage 1 stage check (it was a cross country with a diversion).......yep...a month...32 days...

okay I'm done

Yeay! Way to go Mini!

 

[Flechas]

When intercepting the BC today I treated it like a LOC...Oops!

Everything else was good besides that...I just forgot (Been 2 weeks since I've flown, but still...I just wasnt thinking.)

Employ your II wisdom upon me Mini.

Mini doesn't work for free!
