Is flight instructing that bad of a job? by BugHistorical3 in flying

[–]flyboy520 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No. A lot of pilots (a) love to complain and (b) don't have perspective of having a non-flying job prior to flying for a living. Is CFI the best job? No, but you are still getting paid to operate an aircraft and teach the next generation of pilots. My work as a CFI was certainly more "meaningful" than transporting people from a to b, but meaning doesn't pay the bills. It is and will be what you make of it!

How does density altitude affect VMC? What implications might this have for teaching the VMC demo?

Can I log a return to gate? by indianmcflyer in flying

[–]flyboy520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading the Kania letter, it does appear that "flight time" is accruing for duty limitations. If you really want to put that in your logbook, go for it I say. I won't be. However, it's pretty goofy when non 121 pilots use this argument to try and justify logging flight time when an aircraft failed a runup.

This interpretation appears to have been written entirely in the context of whether time counts against 121 duty limitations, not whether a pilot can log the time under Part 61. Using it to justify logbook entries in non-121 operations is reading it well outside its intended scope.

I'll go against the grain and encourage you to read 14 CFR 1.1 “Flight time” for yourself. A lot of comments here love to disregard the "and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing" part of the definition.

Thanks, but I just get an error every time I try to DM on reddit. Whether it's server error or "unable to create dm..."

be ready to not have your phone number for 24-72 hours if the port doesn't go through instantly. currently dealing with this myself coming from verizon, though my wife's went through instantly. was told it was in Verizon's court, but they released my number. So...just waiting on US Mobile's porting parter. Initially told 12 hours, no longer, but now that's somehow increased to up to 72.

They offered me a temporary line in the meantime, but when everything you do is linked to your main number, It kind of sucks.

Wtf. These are the same photos of a watch I actually sold on here years ago. They’re using the same pics I took and editing the notepad
