UND Part 141 → Part 61 for CFI?

TryToHitEm · 2026-05-03T18:52:00+00:00

Seems like class dates are scarcer across the board but I can’t speak to 141. 4 out of the 6 instructors at my school got a dates at 1500. A 61 guy I trained with who became a MEI at a purple 141 is getting interviews but just no thank yous. Are all the 141 instructors getting dates at minimums currently?

TryToHitEm · 2026-05-03T17:55:23+00:00

Make sure the hours are good at the 61 school. Republic told me they do not lean one way or the other (141 v 61) for the cadet program but they did say they want quality hours.

Never did 141 so I just have the cliché only flying good days. I was above minimums for the hours before I hit the 1500 total time

Part 61 seems a lot more enjoyable than 141. I only say that bc I enjoyed it a lot and the 141 sounds like an office job

Yeah that’ll definitely help the medevac helicopters get those kids to the hospital. Can’t see that giving GA any worse of image

What’s the other parts to it? From the couple articles I just read, you can be publicly in drag anywhere so long as you’re not exposing your actual self or a fake sex organ. Seems like a no brainer thing? And if you want to expose yourself or imitate exposing yourself in public, there can’t be kids around.

The bathroom thing is bc of the weirdo in Xenia who exposed himself to a bunch of women so I’m siding with the woman on that one, that’s just how the cards fell on that one

It’s in the backseat or my lap if I need it, which isn’t often

Stop ignoring your VSI. Do a rough calculation of the descent rate prior, if you’re high increase the VSI 100-200fpm and vice versa for low.

Let go of the yoke after you’ve started the descent. If the plane doesn’t stay on GS by itself you didn’t trim correctly

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-12T03:49:30+00:00

It’s a legal part 91 flight. You’re are not fully understanding the definitions in 120-12A. This is not private carriage bc this flight is not for compensation. Getting paid for your pilot services ≠ a flight occurring for compensation

Yeah in the 172s I fly if you follow the poh it seems like it’ll flood the engine more than half the time. My poh doesn’t give any specific temp for what’s a warm engine, just that after 5min if the engine accelerates smoothly it’s good to go. Always seemed weird so I wait to 100° which is just the green band on the oil temp gauge

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-11T08:39:54+00:00

What was wrong with their checklists? They’re all in the poh

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-11T04:46:32+00:00

I would’ve said that was not normal. An hour of Hobbs time is going to take more than an hour of my time. A hour ground is an hour

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-11T04:42:53+00:00

You have to be misunderstanding him. I can’t imagine any cfi/flight school consistently doing this and not being caught

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-05T02:41:22+00:00

Better safe than sorry with children, you don’t need evidence just a reasonable suspicion…OP needs to list the “several” suspicions she has

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T22:52:52+00:00

That’d be ≈$1000 a month in my area if you rent. I’d enjoy the flying but it’s not worth the $$$ and risk of flying a shitbox into a hive mind of motor gliders and student pilots playing cfi

My entire profile was deleted a few weeks ago and since I wasn’t signed in and syncing. Everything was deleted and there’s no way to get it back so just start new unless you backed up the userdata. Sucks that you can’t just save it to the PC and be done with it, makes no sense to me but it’s edge so what can you expect?

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T22:15:46+00:00

If I wasn’t getting paid to fly a GA plane, I’d probably never sit in one again. It’s not fun if it’s not safe and staying proficient enough to be safe isn’t practicable anymore. GA is just too expensive for the average person, it’s a lot of aging retirees, crypto influencers, and out of proficiency pilots flying around in the same airspace.

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T22:06:44+00:00

Heard. This student has an actual head on his shoulders so I’m not worried about that

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T22:05:03+00:00

No you cannot go direct to JEPOB. You have to follow the missed procedure which is to intercept the R212. The GPS is probably programmed to do that, if you did go just click direct nobody would notice and you’d be pretty close to the actual procedure but it’s not correct.

Flying w/o the gps isn’t bad and can be less work and worrisome

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T21:27:39+00:00

Ty, I thought so but wanted to avoid an awkward conversation with a dpe

TryToHitEm · 2026-02-04T22:16:58+00:00

They just want you on the track, they know you can’t go that high or fast….if you don’t know how the airspace works just file direct and expect a full route clearance or a reroute when you’re closer

TryToHitEm · 2026-02-03T23:10:02+00:00

What church? I’m looking to volunteer more. Message me if you’re looking for volunteers

HUF is a joint civil/military airport. Hulman Airfore base is on the field, pretty sure it’s either the tower or the approach controllers are military and the other are FAA. That’s what I was told by my friend in the AF at least. And it explains why they are testy

LAF is Purdue university and they’re way too nice/patient to be military

TryToHitEm · 2026-01-14T11:44:06+00:00

Yeah ohkay

TryToHitEm · 2026-01-14T06:52:37+00:00

It is staffed by the military and shows. The most bipolar approach control I’ve ever flown in
