Sport Pilot Talk

Let me try and keep this short. I know a man who owns a 172. He no longer flies but keeps this plane in flying condition. He was letting a friend fly her but the friend moved. So now there is a 172 no one flies. I do not fly this big of plane myself so I approached the owner about offering this up t...

I just love how when you say you need a Mechanic people point to Rotax. My bird went in the shop last winter and it was the airframe that needed attention. Besides not everyone uses a Rotax. I thought I would pull my hair out trying to explain EAB rules to a GA A&P and then deal with the IA. To ...

I drove my used jeep grand cheroke into jeep one day. I pulled up got out and left my keys in the ignition. I went in to ask some questions. As I was asking these questions a sales man or someone came out and Vin'ed my jeep. The next thing I know they have my jeep in the shop. I ask what is going on...

It was a very nice evening and I was looking forward to some nice flying for this late in the year. Just as I am heading out to my plane a friend stops by. We talked a little and he said he would like to take some pics sometime of me flying my plane. I told him he was in luck for I was just heading ...

I really like the Fuse setting on the table in the background of one pic. Welcome aboard and great work.

Tony, I have my book out and also the current PTS downloaded from the FAA. I already knew you could do your check ride in the single seat aircraft, but what page does it say you can do all your training in the single seat aircraft? Tom[/quote] I do not believe I said all training. Sure one needs dua...

Tony, as Drseti said we all as CFI's have to do training to keep up on changes. I embraced sport pilot from the start, and started providing training in 2006. The thing is we have to follow the regulations, and this is what it says we have to do before you solo in an airplane. Flying a single place...

drseti: I like your answer. Makes one feel a little better. It must be as you say, there are those who where asleep in class. Wish I was closer to you for I like how you do things and your way of thinking. Are you aware of the book I am speaking of? Do you allow someone to train in a single seater a...

Training......How this amazes me.....Everyone of us knows what it takes to get your drivers license...We go to a Goverment run facility, take tests then wait for an instructor to take us on a drive or Check ride in the aviation world. These instructors are trained in what they do. If any changes com...

In this installment, I will talk about the flight instructor's responsibility. Many CFIs (including me) have standards and requirements that exceed the FAR and PTS requirements. This is not because we want to give you a hard time, or cost you money, but rather because we carry a heavy burden. We ar...

All training for SP can be done in a single seater from training to check ride.....READ the BOOK...Its states in black and white it can be done in a single seater with the CFI on the ground with a radio. The check ride. It can be done in a single seater.....READ THE BOOK then tell me I am wrong........

Tom you need to read the book for it DOES tell the instructor Step by Step what is involved in the training. Its in Black and white. You need to read this book. It written for just this purpose to educate those that want to be part of this program. To many want to work this program as they believe i...

I'm thinking about buying a little single seat, something relatively cheap that I can use to build time in. I have a few grand saved and am scouring the internet as we speak looking for something. My question is since I only have a student certificate, can I get a endorsement from a instructor to f...
