    airport identifiers? "K" prefix?

    Why are some airports, KSNA for example, while others have no "K" prefix? E.g. KAJO is Corona Airport, which has no tower, but has a "K" but 3o8 is Harris Ranch, and has no "K" So what is the difference and how can you tell whether the airport ID should have the "K" or not? Thanks in adv.

    PFT Co's with larger equip?

    I realize PFT is a huge can of worms, but in a discussion with some other pilots, I became curious if there is or has ever been a PFT program that used larger equipment like 737s, 757s, etc. I don't need to hear anyone's opinion on PFT or opinion of me for asking the question, etc. Yes, I know...

    Total Time/Instrument Ratio Part II

    Continuing the previous thread, I've got a scenario for everyone to consider: A guy owns his own plane and splits the flight time (under the hood/safety pilot) with others to build time to go get a Part 121/135 job. His logbook totals look like this .. 1000 TT / 700 ME PIC / 375 instrument...

    Airplane expenses being split .. legal vs. illegal

    Situation: Lets say I own a light twin. Now, the FARs clearly state, that people riding with me (either as pax, or splitting flight time) can legally only pay direct expenses related to that flight (fuel, oil and parking). *OBVIOUSLY* it would be a dream come true if those were the only...

    MEI, then CFII, then CFI???

    I just found out that All ATPs has a 14 day CFI/CFII/MEI program but students take their MEI checkride first, then CFII then CFI. I was told it is MUCH easier that way. How does that work? Can someone explain this briefly?

    14 day CFI Program at AllATPs?

    I've seen a lot of posts about the ATP, Multi, Pro Pilot courses at All ATPs .. how about the 14 day CFI/CFII/MEI? I've been working on my CFI for 6 months now and am just curious how such a difficult checkride, the initial CFI, is accomplished in such a short time, along with the CFII and...

    Engines go bad if they sit?

    While looking for a plane to buy I ran across a plane yesterday that has only been flown 10 hours in the past 3 years. Yes, sad but true, only TEN hours in the past 3 years. What does that do to engine life and to the engine? Its a twin with about 1125 hours SMOH per side. Looking for insights...
