The biggest problem with UND is SJS...everyone thinks they will be flying the heavies within a few years!

I love heavies. I always check the HEAVY box when filing flight plans on DUATS. My flight plan always gets denied because 2550 is not heavy enough.:(

Just curious, say the next scheduled lesson in the syllabus is short+soft field takeoffs and landings, but the winds are 10G19 and not right down the runway. Do they cancel the lesson altogether or do they do something else?

I didn't know short and soft field landings had to be done with out a x wind let alone with winds as high as 10 knots gusting to 19.:bandit:

Well in Maine we are not used to the 30kt winds like in ND, but isn't it a bad idea to use full flaps in windy/gusty conditions? That and since you come in slower, a gust could cause some problems

I think most of my pictures are of the aviation buildings (Odegard, etc), but I have a couple of the campus.

And someone was using my camera when they took pictures of the bathroom sign....not me haha.
And you said you were from NJ...going to UND would be a HUGE culture shock for you in my opinion. I knew it would be for me (I live like 12 miles N of Boston).

and I know I have more pictures than that on my camera somewhere -- I'll get those uploaded and PM you again when I do(if you want).

Why do you think that would be a culture shock?

I attend UND right now. UND is a really nice school to go to for Aviation. They have great aircraft and good aviation facilities. I came from a bigger city to Grand Forks. Yes it's a little bit different but Grand Forks is a nice little town, I like it. If you are coming here just for Commerical Aviation I reccomend that you also do Aviation Managment. In Aviation Managment you get a full business degree from the College of Business. A degree in Managment is a great backup to have in case you loose your medical or something. I HIGHLY recommend you live in the dorms for at least your freshman year if not also your sophmore year. West Hall is a pretty good dorm (and it is now co-ed!!!).
Cue the others. :pop:

So wait... If I take Aviation Management, I'll get a degree in Business, not aviation management?

Never checked out Eastern's program then. We can rent planes go wherever, whenever, with whoever. I think that puts us leagues over other comparable programs.

RD,

The difference is Eastern is under Part 61. The rest such as UND are Part 141. Thats the difference. I know if a flight school is rated under both Part 61 and Part 141 you can do that as well, but many other college programs are not.

JJ

And to the Original Poster, Part 141 Regs -141.79
(b) No student pilot may be authorized to start a solo practice flight from an airport until the flight has been approved by a certificated flight instructor or commercial pilot with a lighter-than-air rating who is present at that airport.
