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...

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...

Not even a good troll. Responding immediately with bitchy comments and "comebacks" instead of continuing with the naive approach totally blows it.

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 dunno, but if you really did that Edo ...... then Yikes!

Personally I don't like the thought of pissing around that close to the ground. Way to easy for the guy who's surprised to react in a totally unexpected manner and you've got squat for a safety margin.

But maybe I'm just a chicken.
