If my safety pilot/ instructor has a valid Ifr ticket, is a cfi and flies right seat, can we file IFR on his ticket We will Ifr on his ticket ( obviously he is with me but right seat ) Can I do this legally here and in the U.S with him I need to make a few trips Can I also count them as training ? A...

Are there any specific requirements for vfr ott departures. How long after take off here you allowed to go before climbing above. I suppose you need to leave in vfr and rules govern landing but enroute gets dicey when OTT Things can change. What are the best resources for enroute updates on layers t...

Make sure you drink gallons of coffee before watching the videos from Harv's Air. That guy put me to sleep consistently within minutes of starting each video. Thats so funny because i actually cant watch the videos. I dont mind listening and reading through the slides. but that guy is a killer.. He...

IM in toronto. I want to work intensely on this in order to get the written...

pkofman1, I am surprised your insurance company won't approve your proposed instructors. I needed an instructor with time on type in a mooney when I did my transition training. I couldn't get one sorted, but they were fine with my local, high time instructor who had time on everything but a mooney....

Well i think you are all correct on the insurance requirement. . I have someone who can help me but honestly i love to fly with really experienced professional pilots. . The guy im trying to work with is a ex-cfi with about 4000 hours. high performance, twin, king air time. He does not have mooney t...

Im the O.P . Although not completely necessary it would be nice for time of type. I want to practice approaches and enroute ifr under the hood or in real imc.. Now in order to file any real imc for practice the instructor must be the the pic. They need to be qualified as a IFR pilot but also the ins...

I'm sure there's lots of guys at Jazz and Sky with training experience but no instructor rating. Don't discount the guys who fly IFR for a living and have conducted trained on King Airs, Navajos, Metros, etc. in the past. You clearly know how to fly the plane. Just need a guy who knows IFR. I've ac...

I own a Mooney
Anyone here with enough mooney time to also act as an instructor in order to help me finish up my ifr rating
Please get back to me here, or PM me

Quick questions What is the correct procedure if you mode c/s transponder was to fail completely in a class c or d environment Im sure this is covered somewhere in the AIM but i cant find this exact question I can find lots on comm failures re comm codes but if i don't have a xpndr then what is the ...

In any event, to the OP: don't fly IFR altitudes around airways and you should be fine. If you're VFR, go direct and avoid IFR airways, I don't see any advantage to flying them. Thanks for circling back to me as the OP. Im glad i asked the question. Great discussion. Really informative and nice to ...

I like to stick to the airways for obvious reasons on long flights Such as? You basically just gave a good reason to avoid airways... If I'm VFR I'm almost always going direct.. Ok I suppose i should have not used the " obvious " wording as it seemed to have taken this a little bit away from what i...

I am really curious about flight levels vfr and IFR conflicts on airways/ air routes what is the best practice from experience? If i am flying airways or air routes and I'm flying vfr altitudes at 1000's + 500 and IFR is at 1000 that is leaving little room for error. Particularly in altimeter settin...

thanks ahramin...am i also correct about the vfr-ott altitudes ( basically vfr -ott follows all vfr fl rules per direction of flight

Can someone answer this vft-ott and cvfr I believe that when flying vfr-ott you use vfr altitudes You file as vfr and follow vfr rules even when on top ie 1000's +500 based upon direction of flight ( no clearance required ) But when flying cvfr in class B the AIM 5.6 states that clearance will be is...
