Re: !!!!!July GFI!!!!

No way to leave early, not allowed.
The take off time is specified.
Maybe someone else will fly a prop also and keep you company.
There was one good GFI where we all used the B377, FSX then, and it took forever. Remember that one Harold.

Re: Flying in retirement

Michael, It has been a long while. Chapter 14 in the POH spells out what and what nots for retirees, I believe Mike Blakeley is also the manager of the retirees, and I believe you would need to be at an active hub to fly. As a Commander you would only need one flight each 90 days. Wayne EDIT( I was ...

Re: New Commander Flying From KPHX

David,
Welcome to the Elite, secret society of the AAV Commanders. This rank has several perks over the other ranks, and they are so secret I haven't found them yet. Best thing is, it is the last promotion check flight. You still have a few endorsements to handle though.
Congratulations !!

Re: GFI survey results

I took over from Rey for the GFI's at some time in the past. We used to have a calendar to post events with, but, alas it is no more with the new PHP service. This is the format I used for the hundreds of GFI flights I have still on file, although the charts and routing will be out of date. ********...

Re: GFI

Making a GFI is a no brainer, sort of. One makes a flight plan within the criteria, sets a date and time for the GFI and post it on the forum for all to see as an announcement. If one makes the flight announcement then that person better show up and lead the pack. Give enough lead time for those slo...

Re: GFI

Why can't we start the GFI's up again ? I am game for organizing, with input from the old timers on what worked and what did not. Cheers! Old Timers ? You mean the more experienced pilots at AAV. At some time in the past and I do mean the past, we had a Group Fly In on Fridays. It seemed that I had...
