As a side note, I was generally referring to the encyclopedia part with regards to the english/other electives that are required. They are so plain and boring, and honestly, I haven't learned a thing in them. It's basically like highschool all over again (some may prefer that, but I would enjoy lea...

figured that much.

CARS ref to go with that (NO!)??

Interesting.

I wonder - could it be used to shoot a VOR approach should your aircraft's VOR equipment suddenly fail??

Just curious. I was looking at some hand-held radios online, and some products mention to have the capability of picking up Nav frequencies, with a CDI function. Has anyone here ever tested/used one on the VHF nav function with its CDI?? http://www.icomamerica.com/en/products/avionics/handheld/a24/d...

When there is a Safety Pilot aboard the aircraft - WHO LOGS PIC TIME?

what program/application do some of you guys use to download these videos from YouTube so that you can have access to them without being online and use them for your lesson plans??

Checked out some You Tube clips, pretty good... There's also a good post on this forum titled "Video Training Aids" that lists a few clips to rip.

Hey folks, I've been out of the instructing field for a couple of years now, and prior to getting back on the saddle, I would like to update my old lesson plan/ground school briefing notes. At the moment, everything I have must be written on a board (with my poor penmanship), with the exception of s...

Hey folks,
Naturally survival gear should be carried on board the aircraft during any time of year, but, I was wondering what items some of you personally carry? (say incase you cannot obtain the survival gear in the back of the aircraft)?

I agree with Ragbag - it can be done; and, yes, having higher time worked for me in getting my first float job on a C180. Regardless of what's been mentioned in regard to insurance requirements, there are operators out there who have quite a good record with their insurance companies, thus are given...

what a frickin sh!t show this Maylan operation is.

steer clear

Excellent question skybaron so why don't you start bringing this thread back to the Dornier Seastar by explaining to us why that design is so superior to older flying boats. Maybe you could go back and read this thread once more and you may find some interesting discussion regarding the behavior of...

WTF.

I thought this post is supposed to be for a Donier Seastar!

Why the hell is all the attention going to the cheesy PBY for - cuz its a flying boat??
Different engines, design, blah blah blah.

Why bother comparing this euro junk to the Caravan/Otter/TwOtter? Docking alone should single this aircraft out as just plain USELESS for either HA, WCA or the coast in general. Like a massage parlour in Tokyo, it's looks alone won't sell without a happy ending - and this aircraft is only useful in ...

Why waste good TP. One should use it for what its intended for prior to throwing out of an aircraft. Be sure to double up on them chimichanga's with extra Franks red hot.

Try Future Air - although I can't vouch for them.

Looking for a pic with a little more detail. Something, say - a little bigger.

Looks like they're really concerned with their useful load. Can't blame them really - especially when you look at the size of the average Yank these days. You got to wonder if they'd make a profit otherwise.

It's possible to have the best of both worlds. You can instruct and float fly. Many have done it - so yes its possible to be a real pilot that instructs in the city. One key thing - your time instructing, assuming you'll have decent PIC time, will be enough to get on for most companies insurance min...

Purchase yourself a Bose headset and end this nonsense.

If you don't want to go that route, then wisest choice would be to keep that Zulu junk, and wear sunglasses with thinner arms - NOT them Gucci/Jackie Onasis/Ruff Ryder set you're probably sporting.
