Congratulations Brice on getting your IFR rating. I was at the airport when you contacted ground and switched frequencies to listen to your clearance. Set your personal minimums and stick with them. It can be very challenging in real IMC so leave yourself an out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you for your help. It was good meeting you in person. Like I said, we need to set up a Mooney flyin some time in the near future. How did Sunday go?

I have not revisited it for awhile but I would appreciate a screen shot if you don't mind.

I am usually at the field on weekends. We have visitors this week but I am hoping to fly to Casa Grand for the flyin this weekend. If we can meet sometime I would appreciate it.

Can you post your finalized W/B so I can see where I am still going wrong?

I have used Kurt Campbell out of Falcon Field for the past three years. He use to run Transonics that was located next to the Commemorative Air Force building. My ignition switch failed again today so I had to give him a call. Fortunately, It did not happen at St Johns today. His team is mobile and can go to Deer Valley where I am now located.

Hang gliding is on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing.

Here are my rides. I wish I could say both Mooneys are mine but the one on the right is my M20E.

Where did you end up going for your annual?

USAF/USANG 1976-1986 Forward Air Control/Communications

Having the chance to share the experience of flying is incredible. I have flown Patient Airlift Services flights and wanted to share today's Angel Flight mission to Camp Courage. The young men who flew with me were very appreciative and seemed to enjoy themselves. I can't help myself and have to serve as a tour guide as well.

The structures are referred to as covered tie downs at KDVT and Falcon Field. As you drive up you should see the reporting information you need on the end of the covered tie down. Unlike Falcon Field, Deer Valley does not have reporting positions strategically placed at various spots around the airport but does have reporting points located just prior to the taxiway. My area is near the Phoenix Police and is R6. I usually try to give them a little extra quick information if they have a moment. My covered tie down area is really quiet so I do taxi into my spot as far as practicable. I pull it into its final resting spot in the coral by hand. I have seen many pilots do the same.

After a few times of disconnecting my passenger's seat belt, I adopted a new technique I refer to as the roll over. With my thumb facing forward on the release mechanism, once released, I roll my hand backwards to the top of the bar as it passes past the seat belt latches. I then roll my hand down to the grip as the bar moves forward. Once latched, it allows me to place my thumb nail into the locking mechanism to ensure the gear is locked. It works well and yes timing is everything!

Please add me as well. I would like access to the link.

The guys at the desk set up a ride and took me around the field to show me the options and where some of the resources are. They were very accommodating.

Thanks, it is kind of hard to miss. It has a few nice mods. I plan on installing ADS-B later this year. I am still in the research stage.

Go to the main office next to the restaurant. They will show you what is available on the airport and can give you the paperwork you will need to fill out. I was transferring my plane from KFFZ so they held the spot for me. The price for a covered tie down is $101.00 per month. You do need to watch a 10 minute video and take an exam so you can drive on the airport. It is a really easy process. Like me know if you need any info or help with anything.

I have a Mooney M20E based at Deer Valley as well. I am in the covered tie downs next to the Phoenix Police closest to taxiway C. It sounds like the four of us should touch base sometime. By the way, I met the previous owner of your airplane. He was very knowledgeable and took good care of it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great, let me know when you might be ready and we will see what we can work out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Where in AZ are you located? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a Mooney E and fly out of FFZ in AZ. It has numerous mods and flys very well. I would be glad to let you be ballast if you want to go for a flight. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
