Re: when does PPL expire

Thanks a ton! Appreciate it. Logging some hours PIC (after the regular checkout with an instructor, based on the flight school requirements) every 4.99 years seems good advice. Not having to rewrite the exams is good news, considering the time and resources necessary. PS On a completely unrelated no...

Re: when does PPL expire

Hi I got my commercial back in 2008, and the last flying I did as PIC was also in 2008. Haven't flown since, and the Cat 1 medical has expired. Going by 421.05 Recency Requirements , I understand that I would need to meet the 5-year rule. With regards to the CPAER, however, would I have to rewrite t...

Re: Timed Turns

You start the timer just before banking into the turn….and start the roll out of the rated turn at the end of the period designated. Example you’re making a rate one turn for a full 360 degree. Start turn: 00; establish the rate 1. Start roll back at 00, 2 minutes later. So, the few seconds you lose...

Re: C206

Would any one know the current rates per hour (dual) and location for the C206 (land)?

Also, a bit off topic, but does the C210 add a complex aircraft rating to your license?

thanks and would greatly appreciate any replies/Pm's

Re: Navigation !

- Hi there. Slight error in your Calc... you took the 80NM with the GS calc. Remember total trip distance is 80Nm. Off this 12Nm is in the climb. So actual dist at which the GS of 120Kts is applicable, is 68Nm. Use that, you get 113Lbs remaining. Cheers. Oops...see that already taken care of. :roll...
