The Official FlightGear Wiki with tutorials and HOWTOs for the newcomers or the devs.

I'm one of those lucky guys when it comes to aviation.

For almost 25 years I got paid to fly airplanes. During that time I was a flight instructor, flew charter, mail, commuter airline, and, for the last 18 years, I was a corporate pilot.

Was I lucky? Absolutely. Were there other pilots out there better qualified to hold the positions that I had? Absolutely. It's not that I was so good, I just happened to be in the right places at the right times. Timing. Sometimes in aviation it can be everything. Do I have any regrets, now that I'm no longer active? No, not really. I had great jobs, met some terrific people, saw and did many wonderful things, and traveled to all of the "lower 48" States, plus Canada in the process.

Flying airplanes for a living was very good to me. This page is a small way of pay-back to the world of aviation that gave me such a wonderful life.

I hope that you will find items here that will entertain, and inform you.

"This edition supersedes AC 61-21, Flight Training Handbook, dated 1965, and is intended to supplement AC 61-23B, Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and appropriate FAA Flight Test Guides. It was developed by the Office of Flight Operations of the Federal Aviation Administration in cooperation with various Regional and District Offices and the FAA Academy.

The materials contained in this handbook include the skills and knowledge considered necessary to satisfy the pilot's basic needs to effectively operate present day general aviation airplanes, and conform to the pilot's training and certification concepts established by Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 61.
