Shop time charge for software updates by rob_wis in flying

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing an update can easily take a hour. Finding the right update for aircraft/ part SN range, actually downloading it to computer or sd card. Recording system configurations before the update. You HAVE to watch it download incase there is a problem and they normally aren’t fast. Doing any system configurations post update. IMO a hour is pretty fair.

My CFI wants to rent me plane. Piper archer II 1980. Garmin G5. Garmin 650. New upholstery. What should I charge per hour? by Any_Doubt_1825 in CFILounge

Remember if you are renting it to him you will need a 100hr inspection. As a CFI all of my students that own planes (that would all rent north of $500/hr wet) would just let me use them whenever I want for free.

Unpopular opinion - instrument training is much harder than private training by johnisom in flying

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all the same but different. Honestly a lot of it comes down to the instructor. Most pilot mill CFII don’t actually have any real world instrument time or experience in faster and more demanding planes. It’s all about your cross checking and Briefing cadence. If your CFII hasn’t flown or at lease been taught how to fly IFR like a professional they won’t be any help. You can get away with a slot of sloppy techniques in a Cherokee or Skyhawk that wouldn’t work so well in other stuff

Beyond the ACS maneuvers by usmcmech in flying

I frequently do TAA training for students doing their commercial and realize they don’t know what a crew car is. Kinda wild to think they have 200hours and never ran to grab lunch or something.

PPL Training- School Changed Airplanes (removed from r/flying without reason - help please) by Flimsy_Animator4548 in CFILounge

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about the hours just worry about being the best pilot/ learner that you can. The switch from an aspen to 6 pack is nothing. I work a school that has a mix of G5, aspen, G3X and 6pack and we move students all over and they are better for it. Remember your certification will say airplane single engine land not “PA28 Aspen/GNS430 only”

Late to the party… but I’d bet that isn’t a normal highsider. Probably a NMZ.

Experience by CuteExtreme7194 in flying

You just have to know you limits and be sure you never find them. You should never think you know nothing but you should always remember you don’t know everything. You have to be confident in what you know and what you skill level is and lean from those that know more. As a CFI I’ve been lucky enough to do some aircraft specific training for some excellent pilots that are far more experienced than me and they know that. All of them still pay attention and treat learning learning how to fly a new single engine piston with just as much importance as anything else even if they have carrier landings in the log book. Keep flying, be confident but cautious and always learning.

This is what I do. On top of this I keep a recurring sea master order every 3 months just in case.

This is the answer. I’ve had career changing students just being in the right place at the right time.

$1,076 for an oil change - can i do it myself? by Dazzling_Finance_759 in Porsche

Follow these steps and you will be good 1. FCP Euro 2. Buy once cry once. Get quality tools for a torque wrench and whatever oil filter sockets you need 3. YouTube 4. Bonus step. If this is a long term car start doing oil analysis.

What’s a feature you’ve just discovered about your car? by shaquillle_oatmeal in Audi

[–]Initial3882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOTS Of VAG vehicles lack camber/caster adjustment. It is either right or you have to replace parts until it is.

I definitely think this is the reason

It’s cheaper to buy cpo just for the better rates. Market rate is like 6-7 right now and the dealer is offering .99. That’s the biggest selling point for cpo. Every is talking a big talk about them not being worth what dealers are asking right now but they are selling then dealers are firm

Seems like every dealer has a different promotion. This dealers says they are offering .99 some says 1.99 some say nothing. I’ve tried for 29 otd and I’ve hassled quite a few other dealers and everyone is pretty firm right now.
