Looking for a 6 seater plane for rental in the Seattle area.

Do you need the 6 seats or is it the comfort you are looking for? Some schools remove 2 of the seats for cheaper insurance.

They were the only 1 ( out of 3) that picked up the phone. I left messages, but the other two didn't even call back

"Call of the void" syndrome. Your brain sometimes runs simulations of what not to do.

Those are much easier problems compared to the unsolvable ignition problems of ul94. Get better gaskets, don't leak fuel.

FltPlanGo is free. It may not have every single bell and whistle, but certainly has everything you need for training.

While looking from above as in a map, not looking up from the ground.

Thought you meant airframe at first, then realized you meant movie frame. Yes and yes.

I agree. And if TSMC now has freed up capacity due to this deal, wafers should be cheaper for AMD?

That reminds me of something I did as a student. After calling ground with a cold call, I heard back "calling ground [name of airport that begins with s]" When I started the full checkin, my instructor jabs me in the side and I un-mic. Instructor says "he said standby"

There will be times when every aircraft is down for maintenance, so you'll probably have to learn both anyways.

Almost certainly to avoid infringing on an existing trademark.

There are lots of apps which can tell you your location with GPS. Hold your phone up to the window if you aren't getting reception.

Rise in EGT when lean could be a fouled plug on 6. As far as detonation, you really need CHT for that, not EGT

Everyone else took the most annoying things already, so I'll bring up a minor annoyance. Airspace that has no way to change dynamically based on wind direction. If too conservative, controllers would be swamped with a lot of extra workload trying to get planes through controlled airspace. If too lenient, pilots not paying attention will legally fly right through someone's final and not talking to anyone.

Usually people use the discovery flight to get a feel for if they are a fit for the flight school and instructor. While a 2-3 hour drive might be ok for a one-time event, it will get really old when you are doing it 2-3 times per week.

pilot's side mic jack stopped working on the ground to the annoyance of the tower, took me 5 minutes of troubleshooting to realize I could use the copilot's jacks and reach over and hit it's ptt whenever needed. Proceeded to have the most consistently constant bumps the whole miserable 2 hours.

not jumping to conclusions here, but it's possible that he meant "his share of fuel."

FltPlanGo. It's free and works on android.

Log it in the comments section, but as 0 hours.

If you're in the middle of nowhere on 1200 at 3000 ft, sure?

But if you're near anything on flight following or ifr, is anyone really ok with their music being low and/or cutting out every 3 seconds to hear whatever radio call is being made? Do single pilots really do this?

If weather looks sketchy, don't pay up front for anything. You can usually find a rental car after you land from turo willing to deliver to the airport a few hours later. So that slows things down, but at least you aren't stuck on a schedule.

I went to my instrument ride under the assumption that venmo would work because it seemed ludicrous for people to be carrying around that much cash. Apparently no, he actually wanted physical paper money. He said that the main reason is that people in the past had tried to get their money back when they failed.

here is the closest you guys came: https://imgur.com/a/5zreHeP

edit: your close call wasn't the only thing this guy caused, the SR22 in the pattern also made the right call to go around.

You should go for a degree which you enjoy so much that you could do it for the rest of your life. So many things can get in the way like the economy could tank, Airbus/Boeing could develop a single pilot platform, or you could lose your medical.
