This all started rolling around in my head last year when Mark Hangen did the write up on how to get a type using other peoples money. Thanks Mark!


Ha! Several reactions. 1) people actually read what I say and sometimes make use of it? :crazy: . 2) where is my taste? :bat: 3) don't put that $hit on me! You own that! :lol: 4) isn't it fun spending other people's money? :woot:

Congrats Matt. Fun times ahead.

Nice write up. Type rating, acro experience wow. How was the rentry into the real world? Kids. Wife. Etc.


Real world? What's that? Just kidding, yeah it's kinda surreal but I missed the family so it's nice being home.

Now working on home projects that's a bummer. Much rather be flying!

Matt - I'm glad you got to see the difference in an *experienced* right seater and a training buddy. When you mentioned how hard the left seater was working I wanted to comment and say that I had always found the right seat challenging *IF* you are doing everything you can to help out the left seater.
So for your checkride you only flew in the left seat correct?

One last thing.....I'll bet that you'll find the real world of flying that Citation even more challenging (for different reasons) than you did the sim! Hopefully you won't be making so many single engine approaches to mins in the *real* world - - but you'll find that flexibility is the key on the job.

Good luck.


Yeah actually I wrote that wrong. The guy in the right seat had a lot going on managing radios, checklists, and trying to keep an eye on the guy flying in the left.

Yes I did the entire check ride from the left seat since it was a PIC check.

And I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead in the real question plane thanks!

...a former Concord pilot! Norwood the concord pilot for being in his mid 70's was sharp as a tack! Oh and he even flys a T28 today!


Norwood's a great guy, and the person who got me into flying. I first got to know Norwood since I was friends with his son. In 1991 I was back in Dallas after my freshman year at college, and Norwood took me (and two cute blonds - different story) up in an Archer. He had me sitting right seat and flying most of the time, and after that flight he told me to join a local flying club and learn to fly. So I did.

Fast forward many years, and Norwood took me for a couple of rides in a T28 and I was hooked so I bought into that partnership.

I like to joke that Norwood has caused me to spend more money than anyone (including my wife... I suspect I've spent more on flying than on kids!). Most expensive friend I've ever had ;-)

Robert


Ok Robert you can't leave us hanging. Need more details about the two cute blonds with you and Norwood!
