If you can afford it go for it:) too expensive for this poor pilot

I can't recall the atis but it was likely hot, heavy and a mile high:)

Hmmm I'm not so convinced human pilots will be a thing in 20 years time. Thanks though I'm sure we'll find something for her to do with her millions from Crypto He he

Thanks so much! That's something I can't say for certain however with the opportunities here and the amazing locations to fly to I'd say it may be a few minutes before I consider going back to Australia

Thanks for watching the whole thing Peter! That's my test, if you've watched the whole thing you get to see the karaoke ha ha:) I'm happy to hear I've inspired you! I'll try my best to bring more content as I go along :)

Thanks Kelsta James! That's kind of the way I'm looking at it. On my current 3 day trip and nothing at all has gone the way it shouldn't:) the key is to never become complacent and think nothing will go wrong today, more, something may go wrong today and the first thing I'll do is stay calm, take a breath, then problem solve using threat and error management

Zain great to hear from you it's been a long time! I'm doing great thanks. Kind of wish I got worked less though so I can be with my family but the most im away would be a 4 day trip which luckily doesn't happen too often. That's excellent you're making the move, definitely a smart choice and you'll be glad you did. Any idea yet where you'll move and start flight training? All the best

Hooroo! There is an aussie atc in Denver center. I had my FO say Hooroo as he checked off frequency and she said it back to him:) made my day. There is so much happening right now for the industry here, definitely a great time to be a pilot. Spirit are also now accepting E3 applications:) safe flying mate

That's great to hear Peter!! It's the most rewarding career I hope you enjoy it us much as myself

Thermals :)

You're welcome. Good feedback, thanks I'll see if I can find the edit and make those stay longer on screen

Gday!! Thanks so much. Congratulations on your achievements:) my advice would be to head out and base yourself right where the operators you want to fly for are. Door knock them often and network :) you'll land a gig when the time is right

Yep and it's about to get worse I think

Nice! We had one turbo model in my company King Leopold Air but the owner didn't trust I could operate such a complex machine so only the chief pilot got to fly the boosted 210. Great planes :)

Thanks brother

I'm fairly certain pilots have studied human factors and aviation health and understand the risks of high altitude flying yet continue to do so despite the risks. The fact remains we will all die one day. Hopefully you had a good life and enjoyed what you did during it:)

Depends which license you're trying to attain. Your local flight schools will be able to give you the most accurate pricing but it could be anywhere from a few thousand dollars to over $100,000

Thanks Rock N Wash!

Don't knock em till you've tried em. Mind you I broke them too lol at least they're a couple of coffee's worth to purchase. Don't have to feel bad when they drop on the tarmac. I did with the AO's

You try having a newborn baby and see how tired you'll be

Thanks I forgot to moisturize:)

Hi. I completed my 7 ATPL exams over 6 years ago now. Did my FAA ATP written in 2019

Yes continental IO-550 310HP:)

Thanks heaps mate

It sure is. Has he retired yet any idea?

G'day Tav unfortunately I've lost touch with the owner as this was filmed about 10 years ago.

Hi Zac they are beautiful to fly! stable yet easily maneuverable with a lovely rumble/hum from the IO-540 300HP. I miss flying these machines so much

Amen!

Hi Darrah thanks! May I ask why Australia? Our industry is quite a lot smaller than here in the US. Reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll fill you in on some details

I hold all comments for review but decided to approve your one since I think you have a very valid point. Depending on your circumstances becoming a pilot will leave you in debt for many years and you need to weigh up the pros and cons before deciding to become a pilot. But I can honestly say I'd rather be in a job I absolutely love to do and look forward to every day for 30 plus years than be in one that pays better that I dread. Which btw I've done before. All the best

What's with the negativity? Life's too short to be a downer!

Yes I fly in the United States Of America. I left a job in Australia to come gain priceless experience here on a JET. I'll be upgrading to Captain soon to gain Part 121 command time, once I get 1000 Pilot In Command I'll be in a great position if I look to move on. Sorry for the late reply

Cheers thanks!

From memory a lance but It could have been a toga

Xie xie ni! You can reach me at [email protected] thanks!

Thanks! Yeah these are fantastic quality and amazingly priced :) I just hate it when I drop $200 glasses onto the tarmac during a walk around preflight. With these I never worry:)

Glad to hear:)

I'm happy to hear you like these:) I'm still on my first pair :)

Your first time flying a twin will make you feel you're hanging on only by the tail but you'll quickly get used to its complexity and speed. I had built a twin engine simulator panel for FSX when I did my multi ifr tracking and that helped immensely:) unfortunately I don't have any more lite twin engine content, my flying experience was mostly all single engine aside from multi IFR rating and a few renewals before I came to the airlines and my airline and the FAA doesnt allow recording of video in the aircraft when flying.

Sorry for the late reply. You are very welcome. No I did not involve any lawyer myself however my company has a law firm that handles paper work but they had no involvement on the process to visit a consular. I undertook this step myself and it paid off. wish you all the best

Ciao. Unfortunately I only went up in the legacy that day so cant comment however regular maintenance will unfortunately be part of aircraft ownership. Buying the plane isnt the hard part. Keeping it is. I'm sure there is a Lancair forum. Try lancairtalk dot net :) good luck

Those dogs needed a whole lot more than what I could offer them

Flight Instructor Rating helped me land my first job being a flight instructor. I often recommend the instructing route to those who are struggling to break into charter. get some hours in instructing then go back and try charter. That's what I did, worked well for me :)

@@flyingwithgab2808 thanks mate, I’ve just got my CPL and multi endorsement. I’ll have my MECIR by June but finding it hard to meet any minimum hour requirements from smaller charter companies. Looks like instructing is the way to go

Only some slight rainbow tinting on the already polarized cockpit windshields
