Re: Who Can Fly Your LSA?

I have a buddy who flies a really nice LSA two seat. He can get his brother insured and the man who flew off the 40 hrs. But the insurance company will not insure him. Why? because he just got his ticket. He told me he is done with this cr#p. The airplane is up for sale and he is moving on.

Stall and Spins. Its not just about speed but AoA.

Every pilot needs to read this IMHO. Unlike many in the flight-training industry who prefer to disregard the realities of spins with a simple "if you don't stall, you won't spin," master flight instructor and 2006 National Flight Instructor of the Year Rich Stowell dives head first into st...

Members

Why is it so many come here, sign up, then never post a thing? Looking through the memberships I see a lot of members who have never posted one thing. Some have been members for 3 or more years, some not so long, but the one thing they have in common lack of posts. How can one learn if one does not ...

Re: ASA Practical Test Standards for the Pilot and Instructo

Learned a lot in this time. But as you can see this topic has been going on for a while and back then nobody said this could be done. But today they say it can. Interesting indeed.

Re: 14 CFR part 61, section 61.45(f) Who will do this?

Who said I fly without a license. I asked a question, said I would go for this type of training, you conclude I am flying illegal? Really If I am wrong I apologize, but I came to that conclusion based on your post on this forum. If I would have come on here saying " A CFI and I are having a co...

Re: 14 CFR part 61, section 61.45(f) Who will do this?

I would go somewhere and get my license in a 2 place aircraft, then transition to the single place. No need to transition. If he has a license and a tailwheel endorsement he can jump in his airplane and go. He seems to have been flying it for quite some time without a license. Who said I fly withou...

Re: 14 CFR part 61, section 61.45(f) Who will do this?

The closest thing I found to flying something like the minimax and such is a Taylorcraft. That is about as close to these little airplanes as you will get. If you can fly a taylorcraft you can fly a minimax or any of the little single seat EAB's. Tony I don't think I would go that far. I wouldn't w...

I have a couple airplanes and neither are mini-max. I owned the Hi-max at one time. The Fisher products what I own today has that Hershey Bar style wing and flies just like the minimax.

Re: 14 CFR part 61, section 61.45(f) Who will do this?

I have posted this question here and other places. In the last week or so I have had a couple people contact me telling me they would do this. Really no restrictions to going this route. The only restriction is if one wants to fly a two seat they will now need an endorsement in order to do so. One c...

Re: 14 CFR part 61, section 61.45(f) Who will do this?

So in one post it can be done, then in the next post it can't be done. No one said one did not need training before the check ride. This was the point of this post. To show just how confused the CFI's are over the SP regs. Its been proven here. Some say this rule or reg was made for the transition t...

Just seeing if anyone has done this. I have posted this question a few times before on the web and most everyone does not even know this can be done. Most will tell you its against FAA policy. From what I have found, indeed no one has done this and very few even know one can. Tony Like I said befor...
