Doing that good old dual given in the area.

Looking to pick up some work on the side. I'm a gold seal CFI with 1000 hours dual given. If you want to pick up a rating on the cheap (well cheap compared to UND), and quick, HMU. I have access to an airplane at a decent price for the area.
 
IDK, sounds like your undercutting the competition.

I'm just curious what would be the cost of a high performance endorsement (if you have access to one). Just curious right now.
 
Ground would probably cost you a decent lunch somewhere and the flight would be about $50. Then of course whatever the airplane cost, probably would be a 1.5-2 hour flight. The only issue is I don't have access to a 201HP ride, well of course besides the 1100SHP per side metro, but I am pretty sure the company wouldn't go for that one. Let me look around and see if I can come up with something.
 
You'll just teach them to fly below minimums to "see what's down there". I know your kind, freightswine! Teaching SJS kids to actually fly in the real world? BLASPHEMY! Hell, they might even learn something! And THEN try pushing $19/hour on them. You're an apostate and you must be killed. Cohen told me.
 
I miss part 61... except the part where I had to fly a 35 year old POS with questionable maintenence history. Now I'm kind of used to having a computer tell me what type of holding pattern entry to do and when to do it.
 
There's quite a bit of Part 61 work to be had in GFK... I had a busy schedule of BFRs/IPCs and a few instrument and CFII students. Flight Support really doesn't care about anything other than jets.

What he said. That being said, if you're basing yourself at GFK you really have to be careful, this isn't one of those "we'll do our maneuvers just ouside the Delta" type airports, hence why UND's practice areas are so far away. You might want to base it out of somewhere like GAF, 4V4, or D37 where you aren't taking away from another part 61's business where the airport probably can't support two (CKN) or where you don't have a high risk of running into someone and in order to mitigate that risk using up the airplane for an extra half hour (GFK).

Are you familiar with the VFR reporting points?

One word: "Unfamiliar." But for those that want to know who aren't UND students, what resources even exist to find out the locations of these reporting points? Nothing official, and it looks like it's an LOA between GFK tower and the university. Fortunately some student was nice enough to post the locations on wikimapia.org.

Watergate - SW Outer
Newman - SW Inner
East Pond - NE Outer
Lagoon (sewer ponds) - NE Inner
Kelly Tower - NW Outer
Kelly Farm - NW Inner
Billboard - SE Outer
Powerplant - SE Inner

Is that still correct?

Many of the outer reporting points are 9~10 nm out. While it's nice from an LOA with ATC standpoint to move the large volume of UND aircraft in and out of the delta as efficiently as possible, it's crazy to think that other transient general aviation aircraft don't have a right to occupy that space - it's Class E airspace just like all the other class E airspace around the country! Of course this goes back to the argument that legal does not equal safe or smart. But c'mon, this is GFK we're talking about... not LAX!

Wow... I can't believe I defended JHugz! :aghast:
 
I'm not saying that its a mandatory FAA thing, and yes those are the reporting points. Ask me and I'll even send a google map of them with nice pretty lines and everything. Obviously we aren't, nor is ATC, expecting every transient GA to know "the flow" around here, but when I have flown outside UND, if the guy in the right seat giving me the checkout tells me "this is what ATC expects" you can be sure that i'm going to try to comply with that. Go back to the formula Legal + Safe/Smart = Professional.

Speaking of professional, Jhugz, you going to be teaching all of your students how to do soft field takeoffs in the Metroliner? Or do you one day plan to grow up? Being "top gun" on this discussion forum is one thing, but don't go ball one up trying to look slick.

This is why some 61 would be good for the GFK airport. I could go do maneuvers under VFR flight following with App, and be 100% safer then you in the practice area making radio calls on a random freq that not everyone is on over made up non-FAA approved VFR waypoints. Let me give you a pro-tip, get your nose out of the UND SOPs and don't ever lecture me about how UND does it again. I'm legal, safe, and a damn good instructor. I've got the diversity in flight instruction that you seem to lack. ATC can't expect something out of you that isn't regulatory. Don't drop the professional line on me because you obviously don't have the critical thinking skills to operate in a non-rote challenging environment. Before you start dropping safety and professional remarks, have a leg to stand on.

I challenge you to find a SOP or Reg I busted in my 'top gun' soft field takeoff. Sorry in the real world, not the UND bubble, people can safely operate aircraft without pretending it being an RJ.
