oh crap, yeah. it was 3.8 hours, not 0.8. Either way it's still pretty amazing in my opinion.

Apaches (and Aztecs) are fine to fly. Those rates are similar to a duchess at my club. If you are not career bound or have plans to fly twins it would be more of a been-there-done-that-got-the-tshirt kind of thing. Clubs will generally require a minimum ME time and time in type to rent a twin, probably 25-30 ME and 5-10 in type. So if you just go get a ME add-on you will still need some more dual-received to rent one. Like IC ALL said, there...

You can go up to 3 months early and still keep the same expiration date, which is always the month. Early is always better than later!!!!!!(And I'm a procrastinator, so I never follow my own advice in this regard). I've cut it too close several times.

Nailed it!!! He almost had nothing to comment on. Ewfflyer, I had the ride yesterday with Dillman. Departed 23 direct VAGES to hold NW on V24 (picked up EON within 1 mile of VAGES ). 2 turns in the hold, departed for an ILS 10. Missed hdg 360 up to 2300. Unusual attitudes out to the east of BVT, then turned to intercept the 5 DME arc to the 060 radial. Full panel VOR-A, missed out to RESAW & 2600 for a partial panel GPS 10. He failed...

My research puts 141 programs between 15 and 20 for an average and 61 around 20 to 25 hours. It obviously has 100's of variables. Part 141 is typically lower in comparison to 61 for a couple reasons: you fly more regularly, the instructors are closely regulated by the institution, and the course is typically more structured. My research was just calling various, about 20 different, schools mostly in the NJ area and some online research...

Before you get your panties in a twist, I was just asking a question. There are a few people out there that believe with something like magic bullets, it will land them their dream job. I was just at the ERAU 'career...

In my opinion, it is an unannounced failure of the ILS system. If there is sufficient time while on a vector or established in a procedure turn for the approach to be re-briefed, then by all means brief the changes and continue, however once established inbound of the...
