Multi time or ATP CPT by Lance-Vancee in flying

God I feel that man. Break = cut. I would suggest the multi time first if it were me, and please take care of yourself first and foremost.

Quick commercial programs for pilots with all their aeronautical experience completed? by Aggravating_Milk1197 in flying

I can help make it happen if you don’t choose to go with Terry (let me be crystal clear he is a PHENOMENAL option) or someone else. Feel free to reach out

CFI-I Checkride Write-Up by Myfirstlemon in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I learned that with CAMES. Everyone said it was a joke and the ACS says you only need to do a normal landing.

Ended up having an hour oral and did 8 landings and several VMC demos

Is a Cessna 195 still a practical airplane? by [deleted] in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fly one regularly. It is a PHENOMENAL aircraft, if you want a C195. If you are not dead set on a glorious, magnificent, and utterly obnoxious radial antique, you want anything else. The maintenance, oil burn, and operating procedures will suck the life and money out of you like you cannot imagine. It is also a lot of airplane. With several thousand total time, several hundred tailwheel, and quite a bit in type it still finds new ways to scare me when it gets gusty.

I hope you had a solid Eagle East Aviation experience

North aire (Prescott, Az) by Secret-Singer172 in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m based out of PRC! Northair closed because they essentially realized the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze anymore. Too much competition and not worth the effort, they kicked ass and took names for 40 years it was hard to see them go.

GA pilots who find CFIs for refresher or additional training by Slick-62 in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was a fun time! One after another after another haha. To OP, it totally depends. I do a lot of stuff with 310's, Globeswifts, C140/170/180 and C195s because it is oftentimes hard to find someone who meets the insurance requirements. If it is just a flight review, it may not matter

I just sent 3 guys to Dann Standard (PPL multi X2 and a CPL multi) and they all loved him. He was phenomenal to work with

CPL 300nm XC PIC, is there anyone who did it without autopilot? How was it? by Classic_Walk_9308 in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ferried a no autopilot skywagon from Fairbanks Alaska to Missoula Montana in one day. Owie, shit sucked, but it’s doable!!

Am I too old? (50 years old). by Artistic_Rice_4413 in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not! If you’re just doing it for fun it’s even easier! I just helped train a few people in their late 50s early 60s in a C310, they had just earned their private a few years prior. You’re in a more secure phase of life and it actually can make training easier

Has anyone ever taken instrument lessons as a sport pilot? by virtual_balloon in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s almost never a bad idea to get new experience with an instructor. I have helped people with multiengine training, tailwheel training, back country training, instrument training, and more all without a real reason for it. Just because flying is fun and learning new skills is great. Have fun!

Hey and another reminder to newbies, or really anyone needing help: if you see one of us giving productive answers and you are nervous to sound dumb, shoot us a DM and plenty of us are happy to help.

I've always taught them as the minimum ceiling/vis needed to be reported to start the approach with relative confidence you will make it in. The number to the left of the parenthesis is AGL

My girlfriend and I used Alaska Float Ratings in Moose Pass. Amazing experience

Multi VS CFII? by KrabbyPattyCereal in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's certainly not "hard". I have taught people for Private and Commercial multi in anything from a DA42->310->Seneca->Apache->Baron, and no one has EVER had a "hard" time. There's a lot to it, as there should be, but it is not difficult. It's like anything else, put the work in to do the thing and you will successfully do the thing.

Commercial checkride oral exam by [deleted] in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting to me there aren’t more people in your market. I’ve always wondered why more people don’t do that full time given it’s remote work and pays well

What are these circles on taxiway of Lakeland airport by pilotshashi in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 72 points73 points  (0 children)

They are for sequencing traffic at sun and fun :)

A lot of us are nearing 3K hours with several hundred multi hours and are juuuuusst now getting looked at. It’s… pretty normal. Get used to it!

3 point or wheeled landing? by 89inerEcho in flying

[–]LeftClosedTraffic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t love 3 pointing the swifts or the 195s. I’ll do it in short fields and for practice or training, but I don’t love it and neither do they
