Hmmm low timers in an RJ?

This makes me now think if we should alllow high timers to be buzzing around in a 172!
Making our airspaces unsafe up there....theres soo much to handle in that 172... :D





alright, I'm guilty of boredom!:o

Watch out for the gliders and the tow planes. They are creative with their patterns. I've been there on days when it was as bad as places like MGJ on the weekends. No TCAS in most 172's.

P.S. Don't forget to put the gear down

hey saab. i got my private from E.V. and flew around blm quite a bit are you getting the 172 from E.V.? I am more single engine current then i think you are and would be willing to split the cost to make a fool of myself. Plus a cfi so we could bfr it too. pm me... oh yeah i am from xjt too... i live in old bridge didnt realize you lived down here

Single engine current? I don't believe there is a thing. He can go solo anytime he wants.

No, lets put up a TFR with a 30 nm raidus.

i wasn't referring to the legal "single engine current" but more importantly to the real life application: single engine current = i might be rusty but i wont kill you

I think it's more like "I might be legal, but I could still kill all of us."

Two biggest issue are airspeed and flare hight. They always come in screaming fast then want to stall at 20ft. Also watch how you handle the nose. I use to get T38 guys in there that always wanted to kill me.
