MissleOwner Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Looking for a delivery pilot to fly a M20J Missile from SRQ to M91(Sprinfield TN) on 23 or 24 March 2011 Pilot must be CFI with a min of 500 total and 100 complex time with a high perf endorsment. Owner will be traveling with the pilot. Quote
MissleOwner Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Posted March 20, 2011 Parker, Thanks for the reply. We really would like to have it moved on 23rd Wednesday, 24th Thursday at the latest. Yes we just purchased it and want to get it home. Quote
LT4BIRD Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I might be interested. I work at SRQ and over 1500 hrs in mooneys. 813-817-4547 Sean...... Quote
LT4BIRD Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Just got done looking at your aircraft. I have flown your Mooney a few times in the past. Small world. Anyway I remember doing like 240kts plus one day. You will be happy when you fly her. Quote
MissleOwner Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Posted March 21, 2011 Can't wait to get it home. Just currious, how did you come to fly it. It has been out of annual since it has been in FL at the brooker and still out of annual. Getting a ferry permit for it now. Anyway glad you liked it. Hope to see her soon. We have a delivery pilot now. Thanks for all the replies. Looking forward to being part of the Mooney Club. Quote
LT4BIRD Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 That mooney has been in SRQ for a few years. I dont know what you were told but yes flys great. 180 knots low level cruse all day. A little thirsty Quote

Skywarrior Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Interesting FlightAware plot. Apparently, that pilot needed a refresher on VFR altitudes... Chuck M. Quote
LT4BIRD Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Lol. Someone wasnt thinking. Pretty crazy you can track that stuff. Quote
fantom Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Quote: Skywarrior Interesting FlightAware plot. Apparently, that pilot needed a refresher on VFR altitudes... Nah....The FAA sometimes flips the odd/even rule for flights in central FL...why I don't know Happens to me in south GA also. Quote
LT4BIRD Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Controllers cant flip a rule. Under 3,000 there is no rule. Above its odd or even + 500 VFR. They will sometimes give an even alt but only for traffic. I fly Bravo over 400 times a year...... By the way I talked to your ferry pilot and he is a good guy I know him well. Quote
fantom Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Well, they flip it for me, usually IFR, on the east coast around Daytona, regularly. You fly a Bravo? ;-) Quote
LT4BIRD Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Someone correct me if im wrong but I dont think the odd even rule is for IFR. As for the Bravo ? One day my friend. Quote
kortopates Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Yes, the odd-even rule applies to IFR as well, but exceptions are very possible since they own the airspace. It comes down to the needs of the controller in avoiding traffic and what the pilot can negotiate with ATC (e.g., wanting to fly at MEA or MOCA or minimize exposure to icing etc.). Quote
LT4BIRD Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Just looked it up. I stand corrected. I will close my mouth now. lol Quote
TLSDriver Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 A controller can assign any altitude. The east-west rule is a convention. Many controllers don't even understand the FAR. Even if you get a controller who does understand the rule it is is unlikley that they would likely do it often. I am sure everyone has heard a controller tell a pilot that altitude is 'wrong' for the direction of flight. All he is saying is that is not the convention or custom. It would be legal to be assinged it and legal to fly it. The reality is controllers don't need the extra work or want the extra responsibility. So the poster that said he had altitudes 'flipped' is accurate. Quote
