    RV-8 Question

    You really don't need to have your passengers using the rudder in an RV8. Very little rudder input is needed in flight; and if you have a straight 8, not an 8A tricycle gear, then it may be a good idea not to have them, since you might have someone accidentally kick one during landing and ground...

    Delta Weather Procedures

    FlyingSig, you're absolutely right. It is kinda strange how all that time has passed since that thread and somehow I got a reply to it in my inbox and it seems to have started a snowball effect. Someone must have done a search on a word and didn't realize how old the thread was... No matter...

    Delta Weather Procedures

    That really depends upon the aircraft. The older series Lears had 6 spars per wing. The wing loading was tested to over 11 Gs without failing, though it was certified much less. The pressure vessel was tested to Apollo standards which was 21 PSI differential before failure, though it was...

    Yeah, especially about the wasting money part.

    Yeah, someone responded today, and I got the E-mail, so I read it and responded. Talking about, "hold that thought one..."

    Delta flt. escorted back to ATL

    I think, personally, that the "powers that be" are more than just a little trigger happy. Today's incident proves it. Now, the dumbass that entered that airspace in his 150 should have his license revoked. He could potentially ruin GA as we know it today. Along with the authority of being PIC...

    What kind of training did this guy get??

    A hijacking scare at SFO turned out to be a simple mistake -- a pilot dialing the wrong number. It started when a Mexicana Airlines flight from Mexico City had radio problems Monday night. The pilot dialed the plane's location transponder to what the thought was the code for radio trouble...

    headset time...advice?

    DCs I've tried a lot of different pair of headsets. The most comfortable option I've found is the David Clark 13.4s. Get the gel ear seals and then cover them with the ear cover material. Those will be the most comfortable, reliable headsets you can think of. Granted putting something over...

    Flight Instructors..........

    Hours Flown I'm doing about 60 on average per month through the winter here in Atlanta. The summer may run a little higher, but we don't have as many VFR days as Florida and there are only so many IFR students to go around. I'm hoping, though, that this summer will ramp up. I remember pre...

    Piper Turbo Dakota

    I am a CFI who has a student that just bought a PA28-201T, otherwise known as a Turbo Dakata. The engine is an TSIO-360-BR and is referred to as a "TurboSupercharged" engine by Continental. The unusual thing about the engine, specifically, the turbo, is that the waste gate is fixed and can...

    Private Training in an SR-22

    Not a good trainer SR-22 I have flown the Cirus and have said time and again that it is not a good training aircraft. As a flight instructor, I have flown with several pilots who learned how to fly in the Cirus and there is a remarkable difference between those pilots and ones who learned on...

    Building Time

    It's not just about MCA.. I haven't posted in a while because I, too, have been trying to keep busy flight instructing. I think the problem here is that you're looking at it as something you just can't get anything out of, but to do that, you will have to look outside of the box at the big...

    CFI job advice needed - Will travel -

    Hey all, It's been a while since I've posted. I've been very busy finishing my CFI and I just got it last Thursday. I gave my first dual on Saturday and it was a great feeling. However, I live in the Atlanta area and things here for CFIs are very bleak. The flight school where I did most of...

    allatps in atlanta?

    Ask yourself I just did my Commercial Multi Instrument there. I like the instructors in Atlanta, personally. Shane, Wes, Jim and Brian are all very nice guys. However, ask yourself if you really want to spend the money and be 30 grand in debt in three months without a CFI job? Rather, if...

    ATP Schools Aircraft

    ATP - The good, the bad, and the ugly I did my commercial multi instrument add on with them. You can't beat the price for 10 hours in the seminole. It works out to be about 120 dollars an hour. I flew three different planes, all of them 2000 models. Anything ending in an N123AT is a new...

    Preparing for CFI ride. Need advice.

    Congrats Congrats, Cardinal!!! Thanks for the fresh narrative of your checkride. That will really come in handy with me. The whole concept of riding with the feds sounds a little disconcerting, but I'm going to give it my best shot. One more day in this cube and then I'll be able to start...

    Preparing for CFI ride. Need advice.

    I'm preparing for my CFI initial and am a little confused about what they expect you to bring. I've talked to some friends who are CFIs and they differ on this point. Some think that you need to have a monstrous notebook with all knowledge in the PTS outlined by hand. Others just tell me that...

    first flight

    LZU or PDK??? PDK is a very busy airport and you will absolutely be thrown into: 1) ATC communication procedures 2) Parallel runways / intricate taxiways 3) Holding short of the runway and waiting most of the time... Now, take Gwinett (LZU). They have a tower, so you will get experience with...
