I may be wrong but I think DB has his Instrument rating and the best part.....he flys a mouse like us!! :)<br /><br />I was shooting approaches on flight sim all morning getting tuned up for KPMZ and KCHS at the end of this month, if we still make the trip.

Frequent gotchas include: class (single PIC acting as safety for a multi engine); not having all endorsements (complex/High perf); and lack of recency requirements (BFR, landings. etc). Check out 61.51 & 91.109(b). Good luck on your ride. -mbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19353992.post-61232367623145425442011-03-06T09:29:54.327-05:002011-03-06T09:29:54.327-05:00Very cool.

I guess anyone with a PPL can do safety pilot time--you don't have to be IFR certified, correct?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875510402632670855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19353992.post-17923990361863972122011-03-02T09:43:46.381-05:002011-03-02T09:43:46.381-05:00Safety Pilot time is something I've yet to do,...Safety Pilot time is something I've yet to do, though I'd like to soon! My old CFI asked me about it last summer and we still haven't managed to go flying (he needs to get IFR current again) though I've certainly been bugging him about it.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.com
