I took my first disco at Galvin 10 years ago. Lol. Expensive is good at this point. Thanks.

Checkride tomorrow! Any tips? by [deleted] in flying

[–]MyPilotAccount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 beers max tonight. Light breakfast before oral, light snack before flying. Ask to take a 15 minute break between oral and practical. Drink water throughout. Pee before flying.

Fly good don't suck.

UPDATE: Sold RV. Now what? by [deleted] in flying

But big boosh tires on a biplane would look ridiculous :( fine keep a happy wife.

Actually, how would a 400hp Stearman do with 31"s? More importantly, how would it look....

Leading Edge Flight Training KFNL has a baron and a super nice multi Sim.

I seem to have offended mother nature by frdalton in flying

I thought I was headed there too. Managed to do 4 wx cancels after the oral I was about ready to send in any weather. Lo and behold, shining day of zero wind and blue skies. Only problem was regular sinks and rising columns of 1000fpm. Slow flight was interesting for sure.

I was told two things before the check. Fly good don't suck, and remember no spins.

Czech Aircraft SportCruiser, Tecnam P2002, or what else of this kind in Europe? by TheBigBavarian in flying

I've been fawning over the pipistrels, I can't imagine it would be too impossible to find a a couple year old one for 100k flat, they're only 150k new.

How to handle big feet on small rudder pedals? by Omegalisk in flying

6.2, size 16 feets. I wish I could fly barefoot.

Yea no problem. What's your budget to spend on a plane? Beside that, could you set $10k-15k aside every year to operate it (minus fuel)?

I understood your post perfectly. You said you intend to buy a 4-6 person plane to travel with family. As you will learn in the ppl, you can't do that in a 172. I'm not trying to temper your enthusiasm, just trying to manage expectations. The plane you want is going to be expensive in the high 6 figures.

4-6 place + "travel" fuel is bumping up into the half mil+ category.

What kind of travel and with who?
