A couple of comments for what they're worth. Firstly, I don't think any credible school would have a class IV doing IFR training. Typically the multi and IFR instructors are higher time. For us it's over 1,000 to do IFR. Now this isn't "real" IFR, but it is solid instruction time and builds very sou...

Interesting discussion. I don't have any experience with a glass cockpit (I'd sure like to) but here is a bit from AVWeb's newswire http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/405-full.html that is certainly timely to this thread. Glass Cockpits Go Ab Initio Old training methods may not match new ...

Well, there's more to checking out a pilot you don't know than confirming they can take off and land OK. If they haven't flown in the area before, do they know the radio procedures, reporting points and the various airspace(s) involved. Also, if they're going to do more than a circuit or two, can th...

If you're actually a pilot, why waste precious money on Juice? :wink: It really is quite expensive if you use trustworthy stuff. But more practically, why risk your health for a questionable benefit. If you've not been a regular to a gym and on a proper wieght program, you won't know how your body w...

A few things to consider. First with eBay, make sure and contact the seller before you bid. Ask them lots of questions and get a sense of their attitude. A good seller will be patient and respond promptly and helpfully. Sometimes it's even good to throw in a couple of bonehead questions just to see ...

Well Cat - there are a couple of points to consider regarding your suggestion. First, the easiest way for a student to save money on the pre-flight definitely is to come fully prepared. Read and re-read any assignments and review the exerceises you are going to do that day. Answer the questions, sho...

From the Innodyne website on control of the airplane performance by varying pitch on the prop..... It will not be possible to accidentally enter a negative pitch into the propeller while airborne, as this would be a very alarming development. Kind of like Hazatude making an aviation related post.

I also have used CoPilot for a couple of years and it is very easy to use. It also produces all the info you need to file a lfight plan. It lists it in the order that the FSS is going to ask for/expect it. It also lets you store flight routes for those that are frequently flown. For ease of use, fun...

I have looked around a bit and the ones I've seen are mostly just questions, similar to any practice exam, and if you can't get the right answer it's up to you to study. Some of them provide study references but that's about it. I've seen some that are comprised of a few powerpoint slides - not inte...
