Hi All...

Long time no post!!

I commited aviation today, albeit somewhat unexpectedly.

The death of my father combined with my weird work schedule have kept me
on the ground since late January.

I'm very sorry to hear about your father's passing.


Thank You.

I even learned a new little saying to add to my repetoir: "3-2-1-Go"

Meaning:

3 - Chains
2 - Fuel Caps
1 - Oil Diptstick
Go - Good to go fly

Hey, that's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!


Always learning...right? :O)


Man did it ever feel *GREAT* to get back in the air!!!

Congratulations on getting back up in the air. It's been a while for me
too, given all the nasty wet weather we're having here in Sacramento
these days.

Mother Nature can be a real b*tch sometimes.

The main thing that kept me from going back and renting at the FBO where
I trained was the lack of insurance. The FBO was covered, but as it didn't
include me as a named insured and didn't have a no subrogation clause, I
was still at risk in the event of an accident.

I decided that I would need to carry my own insurance which would not only
cover my liability, but also the cost of the airplane (in the event the
FBO's insurance company came after me for the damages).

However, this was just too expensive.

Was this not a concern for you?

Oh I still have "Renters Insurance" that I established back when I was
originally training/renting at this particular FBO. It's valid until the
end of May (and I might renew it just in case I ever want to rent
elsewhere...) but the flying club I joined has insurance to which all
members are named insured.

... just curious.

Hope I cleared the air.
