That could have served as a great mulligan if you were dropping actuals and had a not so good CEP.

ATP gouge

If you are onthe East coast set it up with Chesapeake Aviation at Hampton Roads Exec.

Its cheaper than ALL ATP's and you can still do it in a week if you want.

It does... just like the F-15... don't sweat it... once you get your ATP they remove it.

Scrappy! YGTBSM! You've had a bit too much pork falcon Kool Aid.

Name me ONE Eagle dude who's jumped out because of a motor issue (non-pilot induced). I personally know about 5 of you fighting falcon dudes who have and I'm not even part of that community. There's probably 3 dudes from my UPT class alone. Stop getting defensive you traitor. There's a reason you're nicknamed lawn darts.
