I thought the CD was $10.....anyways, I bought the CD for my plane then realized I don't have a cd player in my laptop. duh.

eh...

I dunno, I piss myself all the time and no one calls me 'strong' for it...….

Flew to N Myrtle today. Lots of people requesting different altitudes as the turb was pretty bad. eman didn’t care, as he was going to myrtle. Also, once again, not a single cloud in the sky for me to play in. Had a nice tailwind and was doing about 180 over the ground.

I kept track of the solo xc flights that I knew would qualify for the comm xc. otherwise it's not very important to me.

why?

so here's a stupid question...……..does it have to be a double I? can a regular old CFI give comm instruction?

yup. but it was more about you admitting I was right than about me actually being right.

mods, can we make this a sticky please?

right but I would have expected them to be listed somewhere in the requirements, something like "instruction in comm maneuvers 1, 2 and 3..."

eh, not really battling, we're just trying to get it right. and since I'm going to be working on my commercial, I want to make sure I'M doing it right. what I don't understand is where the commercial maneuvers come into play. nowhere in those regs does it say anything about the standard comm maneuvers we have to do.

I disagree. you are looking at flight currency, he is going for a rating. Requirements to Obtain a Commercial Pilot Certificate Be able to read, write, and converse fluently in English. Be at least 18 years of age. Hold at least a current third-class FAA medical certificate. Later, if your flying requires a commercial pilot certificate, you must hold a second-class medical certificate. Hold an instrument rating. A commercial pilot is presumed to have an instrument rating. If not, his/her commercial pilot certificate will be endorsed with a prohibition against carrying passengers for hire on day VFR flights beyond 50 NM or at night. Receive and log ground training from an authorized instructor or complete a home-study course such as the Gleim Commercial Pilot Kit. Pass a knowledge test with a score of 70% or better. The commercial pilot knowledge test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions selected from the airplane-related questions in the FAA’s commercial pilot test bank. Accumulate appropriate flight experience and instruction (see 14 CFR 61.129). A total of 250 hours of flight time is required. Time requirements may be reduced to 190 hours if training at an FAA-Approved part 141 flight school. Successfully complete a practical (flight) test, which will be given as a final exam by an FAA inspector or designated pilot examiner; it will be conducted as specified in the FAA’s Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards. ========================================= FAR/AIM > Federal Aviation Regulations > PART 61—CERTIFICATION: PILOTS, FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS, AND GROUND INSTRUCTORS > Subpart F—Commercial Pilots > § 61.129 – Aeronautical experience. § 61.129 – Aeronautical experience.

Except as provided in paragraph (i) of this section, a person who applies for a commercial pilot certificate with an airplane category and single-engine class rating must log at least 250 hours of flight time as a pilot that consists of at least: (1) 100 hours in powered aircraft, of which 50 hours must be in airplanes. (2) 100 hours of pilot-in-command flight time, which includes at least— (i) 50 hours in airplanes; and (ii) 50 hours in cross-country flight of which at least 10 hours must be in airplanes. (3) 20 hours of training on the areas of operation listed in § 61.127(b)(1) of this part that includes at least— (i) Ten hours of instrument training using a view-limiting device including attitude instrument flying, partial panel skills, recovery from unusual flight attitudes, and intercepting and tracking navigational systems. Five hours of the 10 hours required on instrument training must be in a single engine airplane; (ii) 10 hours of training in a complex airplane, a turbine-powered airplane, or a technically advanced airplane (TAA) that meets the requirements of paragraph (j) of this section, or any combination thereof. The airplane must be appropriate to land or sea for the rating sought; (iii) One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in daytime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure; (iv) One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in nighttime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure; and (v) Three hours in a single-engine airplane with an authorized instructor in preparation for the practical test within the preceding 2 calendar months from the month of the test. (4) Ten hours of solo flight time in a single engine airplane or 10 hours of flight time performing the duties of pilot in command in a single engine airplane with an authorized instructor on board (either of which may be credited towards the flight time requirement under paragraph (a)(2) of this section), on the areas of operation listed under § 61.127(b)(1) that include— (i) One cross-country flight of not less than 300 nautical miles total distance, with landings at a minimum of three points, one of which is a straight-line distance of at least 250 nautical miles from the original departure point. However, if this requirement is being met in Hawaii, the longest segment need only have a straight-line distance of at least 150 nautical miles; and (ii) 5 hours in night VFR conditions with 10 takeoffs and 10 landings (with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport with an operating control tower.

from what I'm seeing: (ii) 5 hours in night VFR conditions with 10 takeoffs and 10 landings (with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport with an operating control tower. doesn't say anything about what type of landing it needs to be...….

zero response to the mayday call. of all the calls to miss...…...not that it would have made a difference but still

NTTAWWT.....

Ok thanks, I see which map he’s using now.

What are ‘dynamic charts’? Garmin Pilot is showing it for me:

commercial. maybe.

whiskey compass and an ipad baby WOOHOOOO and lots of avgas for eman.

Just curious how much? Not sure if I need it just yet but keeping my options open. Thanks!

I’ve had 2 annuals done there but recently had some minor repairs done.

go directly to @AGL Aviation. do not pass go. do not collect $200. if you're anywhere near them and haven't tried them yet, you should. also, bring dog treats. and tell 'em eman1200 sent you. seriously, give them a try.

luckily it happened at home but I made a sweet landing, then found myself putting in massive amounts of rudder to hold the centerline, then felt the plane being sluggish and wobbling a bit, knew it right away. it really was mostly a non-event, other than a high level of suck factor. I was able to turn off the runway and only held up a few planes for a few minutes while they did a quick runway inspection. then had the plane towed to the local rip-off mechanic to get a new tire. actually I can't really say that yet, they're under new management so I guess I'll find out soon.
