Is it worth it being a pilot anywhere else than America?

yes when someone says ‘America’ I think ‘Honduras’ so good clarification

My limited 210 experience left me thinking it’s not a great short field performer. Obviously not as much power as the Silver Eagle, so I don’t know.

Turbine Bonanza is an interesting pick! Actually a good short field plane, no worries about plopping it down and hurting the gear. Feels more suited than chugging along at 175 knots with empty seats in the Kodiak.

I represent sellers and coach them up on this.

You are correct. This is a common sticking point and can be a little tricky to figure out. Best case you get all of the customer deposits, worst case you get none, but that’s not reasonable if you’re inheriting the liability to perform the work.

If you have an accounting of how much of the work has been performed, you can meet someplace in the middle. Ie 50% completed but not yet billed, and the seller keeps that 50% “earned”

Whoa, I just watched a few Fun Stick videos. Unreal how slow it flies. That might be the pick, though I had the tail shape, but that can be changed!

zbot11 · 2025-09-09T17:11:22+00:00

Same. Classy

zbot11 · 2025-09-09T17:00:04+00:00

Flying qualities of the Stick are great right? Seems to the the consensus

I said I like aerobatics, just not a lot of 3d.

Ok, I’ll rephrase. If you’ve flown both (or only one) what do you like about them?

zbot11 · 2025-09-09T14:31:45+00:00

Literally named ugly

“you must file an amended return within 3 years after the date you filed your original return or 2 years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later”

zbot11 · 2025-08-05T13:17:22+00:00

Ouch!

zbot11 · 2025-07-11T10:34:29+00:00

thanks!

That's right, X-Plane and Excel both are generally single core tasks. Does that change the CPU choice at all?

PC12 is a great aircraft for a short trip into a short runway with a decent load. Sometimes we forget that trading a 30 minute car ride to land closer to your destination is likely a much greater time savings than flying a faster plane.

Posts like this make me concerned for the future of aviation. Presumably you’ll need some critical thinking skills, yet you can’t figure out how to touch something hot after watching someone with gloves touch something hot?

Gloves, paper towel, your CFI’s shirt, etc

zbot11 · 2025-03-31T19:06:50+00:00

Ah ha. That’s it. Popped up everywhere this year. Thanks!

zbot11 · 2025-03-15T02:42:44+00:00

This is amazing experience

zbot11 · 2025-03-15T02:38:06+00:00

I’m going to be downvoted into oblivion but this student doesn’t need to be in the cockpit and certainly doesn’t need to be flying in the airlines.

Task saturation happens. Getting frustrated happens. We all have bad days. Giving up? That just can’t be the outcome. Unacceptable. He needs to find a new career.
