does not include indian ocean...NTSB reminds pilots not to land at the wrong airport
Pilots know better than the instruments. Just ask them.good to know plane GPS works
It's not a coincidence that "dead reckoning" is referred to as such.My instructor repeatedly told us to never trust your instruments during my classes. Then they teach you fly using instruments, all your simulator sessions require you to know how to fly by them. ATC speaks to you and directs you by your instruments. When I need to know my airspeed I use the GPS instead of my Panel however. I cannot imagine flying a old biplane or duster without instruments... I couldn't do it.
drugs r bad, mkay?tell me whey there is no bowing rag top airplane, becacse when it lands on the water it floats like a boat... figured they'd learn their lesson but the Ugstrailians have another mystery down under, Blame it on the Lord.
Only for calculating wind aloft and ETAs I hopeMy instructor repeatedly told us to never trust your instruments during my classes.

Yes of course.... I learned the old fashioned way. The next plane I train on has a full Electronic Panel.Only for calculating wind aloft and ETAs I hope
Turbo props = Power and speed.Holy lack of ground clearance!
Not fully.... But will be 11 hours closer on Friday.... Just a Certified Private Pilot. I need a second-class medical certificate waiver and hundreds of thousands of Dollars to move up. I can fly one with a Navigator or trainer though... I cannot perform any pre-flight operations. I cannot log a flight plan yet either.You are multi engine qualified?
Aero Commander?$5,515 from now. I found a plane in Colorado Springs for only $110K:
It may be. It checks out well. Please advise.Aero Commander?
If that's the one by JetCenter
Got a N#? PM me if you'd rather.It may be. It checks out well. Please advise.
My Plane was owned by Gov Richardson and was maintained by the State of New Mexico in La Cruces. 200 hours of Charity/Make a wish flights gets her here. If I get my CPL I can make my nut on a weekly flight to Teterboro. So I am going to buck up and get my CPL, which will facilitate a plane, a place to keep a plane, the money to fly the plane, etc. After 2 years I make a few bucks, hand off the operation to another noob and buy a villa in Barbados....Got a N#? PM me if you'd rather.
I'll swing by it tomorrow. FYI, certain (most) model Aero Commanders will make your local A&P a very happy man. If it's the one I'm thinking of, in the 11 years I've been here, I've never seen it move.
edit: is it in trade-a-plane? If it's "maintained" locally I know I couple guys I could potentially ask about it as well.
Well, some admittedly brief interwebz only shows me that the registered owner doesn't live here. Every Aero Commander I found with a COS address (there are, shockingly, 4 of them) belong to a company called "SANBORN MAP COMPANY INC", a business I've never heard of. Also, none of the 4 look anything like the aircraft I'm thinking of.My Plane was owned by Gov Richardson and was maintained by the State of New Mexico in La Cruces. 200 hours of Charity/Make a wish flights gets her here.

I think you'll find that if an aviation idea sounds like it would make money or be any fun, it's long since been made illegal by the FAA. I don't know how you plan to make money on charity flights, or start an airline with a fresh CPL, but it sounds like fun and I wish you the best.My Plane was owned by Gov Richardson and was maintained by the State of New Mexico in La Cruces. 200 hours of Charity/Make a wish flights gets her here.

Not lack of ground clearance, low BB height!Holy lack of ground clearance!
Mesa or Trans States will hire anybody with a Multi-engine and a pulse. If you survive one of those two longer than 6 months your chances of getting a job where you can afford groceries gets a lot better. I know what we pay first year FO's ought to be criminal, especially Brasillia flying and we pay a lot compared to Mesa.I think you'll find that if an aviation idea sounds like it would make money or be any fun, it's long since been made illegal by the FAA.

If a turbine aircraft is cheap it's because the engines have no hours left, or the airframe is due for big inspections, or it would cost a fortune to get working for some other reason.
