How do you get an aircraft of the 90’s into a hangar from the 50’s? Simple, you lower the tail by raising the nose. (Rudy Chiarello)
Brilliant. How will it fit inside, if it can’t go through the entrance?
Probably just the entrance is low, and the ceiling is higher
Its been a while since I updated you guys. I haven’t been flying much, partially because instrument flying sucks and I hate it, and also because of money.
I have about 120 hours now (I’ll post actual hours later when I have my logbook), checked out in the Cessna 162 LSA, soon to be checked out in the Piper warrior. When we get our G1000 skyhawk back this spring (they send it down to florida during the winter to get more hours) I’ll get checked out in that, although I actually like steam gauge panels better. Its easier to just see where the needle is and where you want it to be rather than interpreting the glass panel. I found that out when I got checked out in the Skycatcher, which has a G300 display. I was always off by up to 100 feet or more on my altitude. I don’t mean to sound like I’m boasting, but our Skyhawks don’t have A/P and I can maintain altitude to ATP standards (+/- 20 feet). Anyone who has flown both glass cockpits and steam gauges will know what I mean.
But the instrument flying is coming along okay. I’d say I’m about halfway through. I’ve done 3 VOR approaches and one ILS into Providence. I’m taking the ground school and getting ready to take the written probably in another month or two.
I’m still pretty sure I’m not going to go through with commercial/cfi all the way still. I’ll just finish after I’m done with the instrument rating and then fly for fun, and get into ATC. I have a good plan all set up so I know where I’m going.
How has everyone else been with flying and everything?
Getting checked out in the warrior next weekend!
First time flying a low-wing
After almost 9,000 people urged the president to take damaging aviation user fees off the table, the administration on Jan. 13 offered its response: No way.
In a response to a petition on the White House’s “We the People” website, Office of Management and Budget Associate Director…
User fees will help reduce the deficit? They will do nothing but destroy general aviation, because now if I’m gonna have to pay $100 every time I talk to atc, I’m just not gonna fly as much. Its as simple as that.
