Re: O-200 cold weather starting
For what its worth and my two cents, get the MOGAS STC and use premium grade (no ethanol) car gas. I ran this in a C150 I had twelve years ago and it would start like a dream. Smelled like a lawn mower when it did, but it started. It had the collateral benefit of reducing plug fouling and the values...

Re: Twin engine input
I did my Multi and Multi IFR in a PA30B thirty years ago and owned one for three years up to 2018.
I loved, love, loved the airplane and would have kept it if I had not decided to sell my GA aircraft. (I got a job flying full time in 705).
I would be happy to share my experiences.

Re: Seeking Sample Test Questions for Class IV Instructor Written Exam (AIRAF)
I have not, because I didn't know that the website existed.
But I do now.
Thank you for the help.

Re: A Twist on Medical
CBRRider after rereading the original post, the responses and your subsequent posts I find myself concerned about the future implications of the decision that you are on the cusp of making.

Re: A Twist on Medical
Coincidentally I had this exact discussion with my Aviation Doctor during my last medical in November. I had just started medication for blood pressure and was concerned about its impact on my ability to hold a Category One for my ATPL. My Dr told me a story about an applicant who came in for his fi...

Re: Admission to flight Test
Mr. TC, I was hoping you could help with an answer to this situation. I have been training for my CPL using a private aircraft that does not have any Radio navigation equipment, I’ve been using ForeFlight on an IPad. In preparation for the flight test, the flight test guide says: “The examiner will...

Re: Flying Through YYC Class C Question
No need to apologize for asking a question to clarify when you don’t know the procedure. We all had to start somewhere and better to ask than to blunder through. The VFR routes are depicted in both the CFS and the YYC terminal air chart. These will set out landmarks which will be call up or mandator...

Re: DOH merge.
There will be some give and take. Everyone needs to get that in their heads on both sides. 100% agree. No truer words have been spoken. I spent twenty years in another business negotiating large dollar value contracts before coming to aviation full time. If I have learned one thing, and as simplist...

Employee pass travel is ineligible for lounge access. Same rules apply for the Premium Pass (black) card...

Re: Encore take home pay?
Anywhere from $1000-$2000/bi- weekly after tax. Depends on what type of worker your are. PM me for details. +1 But I would tighten that to say 1700-2000/mo if you are flying 85 hrs per month with minimal OT. That includes per diems and allowances. Someone's math is wrong I am sorry.

Good morning: To answer some of your questions: a) You have to complete the multi engine flight test in an actual airplane. You cannot take the test in simulator.
