Buy a mid time C150. Get a car gas stc. 6 gallons per hr at 2.50/gallon. Rent a tie down at a grass strip and insure it. Most tie down strips will have access to an a&p mech who will either do you annuals of sign them off after you do it.

 

Hey Sailing, you provide more useful information here then all the interweb bullies spouting their anti-ALPA crap combined. Not sure why they have it out for you but don't let them get to you. You're one of the posters I come here to read.

That he does!

I'm just a long time lurker but I've known Saling for 30+ years. He's not ALPA or company but he is a good guy well connected with both. He is well informed and knows what he is talking about, unlike many spouters here.

Good news is I don't think he is bothered by the bully rabble! ��

Donning helmet and flak jacket and back to lurking.
And yes...I wasn't smart enough to make a cutsie call sign, so...let it
rip. ��

 

I was going to post a pic. That is exactly my plan later.

For my family a travel plane would really be unnecessary, we need a play plane and learn to fly plane. So I did the math and a C150 is the way I want to go, and I'm kind of favoring the 150hp engine ones that have a higher gross weight. The only issue, I don't recall fitting in these planes. I remember my legs were too long and I couldn't turn the yoke very well. The C172 was massive in comparison.

Here's me 23 years ago learning to fly in a C152:



But it's the goal. Teach the kids to fly. No CFI cost. Mogas STC. I've got big dreams.




^^^^ Tailwheel conversion? Hmmmmm.

I go to the local airports here around ATL and kind of scoff. A lot of the C172s have G1000s, min 5 hour checkout at $260/hr. Find the older C172Rs or Ss and it's still pretty expensive. Found one place that was cheap but the planes matched the price but the CFI there was really cool.

Speaking of A36 rental. Here, there is one in ATL. $415/hr. Any CFI is $80/hr. http://www.lanierflightcenter.com/fl...rates-pricing/ My guess is probably more like 25 hours of A36 time to rent that one but thats only because I saw a 1990 something PA32 for rent but 25 hours of PA32R time required.

Bucking Bar could provide some color on that.

 

No, you won't. Not basiclly or otherwise.

Is that anything like Borderline sarcastic?

Because sailingfun told a complete fabrication. When that happens, it's important to point it out.

Nobody's saying otherwise. Knowing everything in our many manuals and then be able to recall them on the spot, keeps most of us incapable of flawless compliance with every policy. Therefore, making pilots think they could have their licenses suspended for 30 days as a result (for non-FAA violations) is the point of this discussion.

The way I read his original response was that the guy got 30 days off. The Company can, at their discretion, give a guy 30 days off without pay. It doesn't have to have anything to do with the FAA or FAR rule breaking.

You are the one who assumed he had his license suspended by the FAA. He didn't say anything about the FAA. Just that he got 30 days off.

 

Actually I believe it was the FAA because he had a prior letter of warning from the FAA they played into the suspension.

 

I'm trying to bail you out, bro....keep it down!

Well I stand corrected then. In your original post I didn't see anything about the FAA.

 

Only if your purpose is arguing with sailing. If you guys are trying to highlight some sort of important distinction on this "issue", you're failing.

 

Just did the latest Call to Action for the Open Skies Fairness thing... took like 2 seconds. It's important because the comment period is open and your gov't reps need to hear from you now. Go do it!
