Re: Cessna 172 on floats - upgrade?
My advice would be upgrade to the 185 if you can afford it. It won't be long in the 180 befor you start thinking hmm, maybe I need extended baggage-stol kit, etc. Also you ll be able to load up 3 family members in the 180 but then you ll be at max weight and un satisfied with the performance!

Re: Keeping white shirts white
Not a moment too soon trey cool. My faith in the sarcastic backbone of this site was almost gone. Real pilots wear plaid shirts and hip boots, if they have to wear white its one of three disastrous life events: a wedding, a funeral, or they had to apply to Jazz!

Float flying technique
This stems from comments on the thread about the float 208 accident in China. My float experience is quite limited, Cessna only. I was taught by a very experienced float pilot to use the rolling a float technique as a matter of course, and that it helped with any remotely heavy, high, or hot takeoff...

Re: Seaplane down in China
Well said. Also there are floatplanes that will not fly at anywhere near gross weight without rolling a float. So better learn it and get proficient before graduating from the empty trainers.

Well, if they refused to ever lay anyone off and therefore went bankrupt so everyone lost their jobs I guess that would rule out best status as well eh.

Re: Don't work for money.
What a nice sentiment. Follow your passion and money will follow.
Pretty optimistic. More like: follow your passion, and if you are actually that passionate about it you will make it work with what money you get.

Re: I've bought a canoe. I've a cessna 182. I've questions.
The 16 hrs driving would fly by compared to whatever flight time you would spend wondering if you re about to die... I would say buy some floats for the 182. Then go get it. You'll get two birds stoned at once! In all seriousness I can't imagine any way it would work on wheels without some major mods.

Re: Bleed Air Fail Light-B200
I'd say being able to stay at fl210 on one flow pack is pretty good, considering the age and leaky nature of some 200s.

Re: IFR flight itinerary
I was talking about the kind of ifr itinerary that you file with atc, as opposed to a flight plan also filed with atc. I think if you "popped up" in need of an ifr clearance and didn't have a flight plan at all, they would probably do thier best to fit you in, depending on the airspace and traffic. ...

Re: IFR flight itinerary
If you are leaving g from a controlled airspace, you will get a clearance before you take off as usual. Then you would get cleared to en route frequencies as you leave controlled airspace. Coming back into controlled, you would call center before you enter controlled airspace, and get something like...
