I received my PPL in 2022 and upgraded from my Cessna club to a 1989 A36 with a modern Garmin panel earlier this year. While already working on my IR the insurance company motivated me to accelerate my training and I passed my checkride in May. The first year has been great and I’m now anxiously awaiting the completion of my first annual.

I’ve been lurking for a while, finally saying hello. Thanks for all the helpful info.

Regards,

Chris Rorvick

Welcome Chris.

Nice A36. :thumbup:

I'm just spitballing from the surroundings in your picture, but it looks like you are in the Great Plains area.

More Great Lakes than Plains, but flat either way. Chicago is about 30 miles in the background if the horizon went that far.

Hi Chris, another windy city guy here (KUGN) and new myself. Glad to meet you. That's a great looking A36!

Welcome to BT.

I have warm feelings about KARR. Kept my planes at MDW and GYY but had all my avionics work done at JA Air. They also did the interior for my V35B. KARR also played a starring role in my IR check ride: did the VOR approach to 33, did the miss, and came around for the ILS 9.

Welcome!

My dad flew skydivers just up the road at Hinckley in the 70s and I learned to fly gliders there in the 80s. I’m in NY now, and ARR was my overnight stop on the way to OSH in ‘23.

Thanks for the warm welcomes, happy to be here.

I need to fly that VOR approach while it’s still a thing. While it takes you straight in to 33 it’s technically a circling approach to 36 which I’ve heard is finally on its way to being decommissioned after years of being NOTAM’d out of service. Though, while I’ve heard rumors JOT has been online at times this year, it’s generally been out of service the last couple years, too.

That VOR 33 approach was fun as it kept me busy with cross bearings from VOR2. And the miss put me in a hold at the intersection of 2 VOR radials. I can't imagine the knob twisting if one had to do it with 1 VOR receiver.

J.A. Air hosted a BT open house back when BT was new, took us on a tour of the shops.
