Backcountry Pilot

Hi all; I just got a note from a friend in Riyadh, he says there is a Prince looking for G5, Lear 24 and Caravan crews. I don't know any more about it but it could be a good way to break into jets. They...

Just saw an ad on barnstormers for some sort of adventure flying in China. $2500 a month plus expenses.

cudo's to the TV station for not chopping this up into a 15 second report. https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/TneYPcyGbbY%26autoplay=1%26rel=0

Bart, you're likely already on the way but just to add my two cents the Trona Corridor has been around for years. Talk to Joshua, the area between the restricted areas can also be busy with Navy and AF...

You ought to look at Gulfstream's price list. They list quite a few airframe parts that cost more than a nice Super Cub.

I wonder what the FAA estimate is for the number of professional pilots that will lose their jobs because of this

RIP Steve. I think everybody should raise their glass in recognition of all the good work Steve once did.

The FAA website has published it's list of higher learnin' skools that can be used to waive the 1500 hour ATP requirement. http://www.faa.gov/pilots/training/atp/media/Institutional_Authority_List.pdf

I have had the regular Bad Elf and the dual 150, both work well. Having said that it seemed like after letting my ipad sleep for a while I had to turn the 150 and the ipad on and off several times to get...

Don't let the whole blue state/red state thing get you hung up. There are whole counties that run counter to any state. I've had this discussion with my wife, for now I have to go where the job's are...

Isn't that why Cessna went to 30 degrees of flaps? At any rate when that rule came out a few of us young bucks immediately said we gotta see what the big deal is, after all we had been using 40 degrees...

The instrument is the most important rating you can get. Don't cut corners. Learn par al pa el and single radio ops. It doesn't all have to be with a CFI, grab a buddy (appropriately rated) and go fly...

IMHO the "National Security" excuse has been over used and abused for quite some time, by every spectrum of the political landscape. Along the lines of what 182 STOL driver said I can see, after the subject...

Whoever said King City had nothing to offer.

Speaking of DC-6's I just saw an ad from Everett's looking for qualified crews.

Good discussion, and no I wasn't flying before the PA18 was born. As most of us when we were student's I believed what my instructor told me. I think a bigger point is the FAA is really starting to go...

Back when I learned to fly aircraft had to have either placards or an AFM but as my instructor pointed out no light aircraft came with an AFM in those days so it was an academic point that would no doubt...

lol, and sleep with one eye open.
