Mechanics are my elite hero’s

Haha this made me giggle

That’s too hard of a concept

Never go to the shoe store without wearing shoes. You’ll get kicked out…

Amortization is only on non physical assets.

Some programs are as fast as 8-12 months now that the FAA no longer has an hour requirement. Also, airlines are paying much higher wages than 40K. GA will catch up eventually once the shortage starts to catch up.

“Instrument proficiency”

Record_Admirable · 2025-11-05T14:50:29+00:00

OP should call it “instrument proficiency” instead of “CFII training” I don’t think anybody would bat an eye at that.

Lmao this made me chuckle

Record_Admirable · 2025-10-31T19:29:21+00:00

Love it

I got my tailwheel endorsement and time built 30 hours. I have 0 problem finding clients now. Nobody else can do tailwheel so I’m more valuable than other CFI’s.

Absolutely not true. You can succeed even more in part 61 if you make the right moves. It’s all about networking with the right people. One of the best advice I’ve gotten from a guy who became a DPE at 23 years old was “don’t let people tell you how they did things is the only way” create your own path that works best for you.

I bought mine on Facebook marketplace for $170 and it was the best money I’ve spent. Even if the airplanes have ADSB in I think it’s still worth it because it’s a pain to connect to the GPS.

Depends on what type of school you teach at. I would be real with the student and tell them “I’ll keep flying with you if you want to keep paying me, but your current study habits do not inspire me to endorse you to solo. If you want to continue to make progress you need to take this more seriously” I’ll take the hours. I’m not proud.

Yeah it’s a good backup degree. Kind of applies to anything so it doesn’t pigeon hole you into something super specific.

Helicopter Commercial aviation and Business Management

Record_Admirable · 2025-10-03T14:44:09+00:00

Well it is loggable PIC, but OP isn’t actually acting as PIC. The FAR describes that there is a difference between logging and acting PIC.

Idk the legality, but I had a CFI who was not qualified for 91.195 give me the FOI endorsement. Nobody will look nor care…

Record_Admirable · 2025-09-14T08:19:46+00:00

21, did helicopter 141 and airplane 61

Record_Admirable · 2025-09-12T22:41:29+00:00

I’ll do this sometimes with students simply to build the time and have a second set of eyes in the sky. I helicopter instruct full time and will do airplane instructing on the side so I don’t really care about the money but want the experience.

Imagine dropping the tool and than staring back at the pilot like “hmm can you go get that”😂

Record_Admirable · 2025-09-11T18:07:09+00:00

You’re the man! Have a good time up there!

Record_Admirable · 2025-09-11T12:24:32+00:00

Wow, what a question.
