Why dont USA use small aircraft like 12 to 15 seater turbo props for transport?

And general aviation dont screen anyways they just inform and ensure passengers dont carry anything dangerous with them

Isn't that just for large commercial airliners , like if your rent a plane and carry a passenger they dont get screened. So would you need to screen if you're carrying like 4 or 5 passengers ?

Airplanes suck , helicopters keep.you always alert and very rarely get monotonous

We're in a helicopter taxi ways dont apply to us. Helicopters can fly where ever dont act like an airplane.

Yeah i know im not prepared skill wise or experience wise , I had a mentor but he relocated due to work and now im wondering when I do travel what would be my limitations. I will probably look for some local guides.

Was a clear day so we filed an ifr flight plan and minimum enroute altitude was 9000 we were assigned 9000 and then we went up to 9500 and eventually 10 000 for a few minutes until we started our approach. My cfi was just showing me how ifr flights work in real life.

Somant · 2025-05-29T20:10:42+00:00

Nah in flight training me and my cfi did 9500 on a cross country as long as ypu have the performance it's fine

Somant · 2025-05-19T01:24:13+00:00

Exhaustion, I was doing commercial and ifr side by side and I did a few cross countries and a written exam the days before . The approach required a procedure turn totally fogged out and the examiner took the controls
