Stay at least 1000' above anyplace he is. And turn the engine off while you're

It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

I do know of the biennial review. Do you think there are nonproficient
pilots, and are current regs sufficient? Lots of evidence suggests its
not.

Some CFIs have actually refered to one of the large flight schools as
"American Diers." Do you think a zero time to PPL certificate in a month
school is adequate training, even if you can pass the check ride? I
don't.
Thats why I quit.

Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have made some money to make it to early
retirement. If I can convince myself that I will be able to fly at least
once per week, and keep current on the new technologies, I'm going back to
school. (Of course, many CFIs would probably not want Skylune as a
student, as I can be a stubborn pain in the ass. But, I think that is one
of the successful character traits of a pilot, judging from what I've seen
here and from other experience. ;-).



The worst trained US pilot is a better aircraft pilot than the average
licensed automobile driver is an auto driver.

Ha ha.

This is another ancient relic FAA regulation from a simpler, earlier time
when there were vast unpopulated areas of the country.



Do you think that there are not vast unpopulated areas of the country now?

One would think the US has vast unpopulated areas, but take the redeye
from the West Coast and you will see lights most every where.

I have taken the red-eye many times, and lights are certainly not
"most everywhere"

"The plane, a $7 million Cessna Citation 7, was found at the
Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field on Monday and remained
there this morning, said Darren Moloney, spokesman for the
Gwinnett County Police Department. The plane is owned by Pinnacle
Air of Springdale, Ark., which had no comment on the incident
today."

"Planes are easy to steal if you know how to fly them, because
they usually do not require a key to start the engines, Gwinnett
County Police Sgt. D. Mattox told the Gwinnett Daily Post."

What does one have to do with the other?????

Nothing at all, but there does appear to be a re-occuring subject in
some of your reply posts, it all seems to come back to how badly pilots
are trained in the US?

Maybe you should travel abroad for your training and cert? ;-)

Are u gonna pursue your pilot license, or are you gonna drop out like
Skylune did?


You really have no concept of enjoying the journey do you! I will never
'drop out' of enjoying flying, now I've found that I do! :-)

If I have the inclination then yes, I will go for a PPL, but if I don't
get that far, I'm not going to get bitter and twisted about it, I'm not
going to label myself a 'drop out, loser or failure' and spend my time
moaning at others who have got theirs! And I won't be waiting till
early retirement either, even early would be a long way off for me.

I will fly when I want too, and enjoy the flying I do, and if its
enough to go for a license, then thats a bonus.

You have to live your life everyday, nobody can say for sure they will
be here tomorrow. I'm sure there is some poor guy who died doing his
check flight? But I would hope he was the sort to have enjoyed the
training :-)

Regards
