Flying in NY or NJ - room for one more? =D
Hi Folks,
Going to be spending ten days in New York over Saint Patricks day, just wondering if I could hop along with anyone for some Dual Flying or even as a PAX, I did originally put down teterboro in a different post but anywhere in NY or NJ would be handy as i have transport, I'm still only a student mind you, around 22 hrs and circuit proficient,
After speaking to a flight school in NY it appears I need TSA approval to do any flying as Student PIC, at a fee of $130 for an application, not to mention Finger Printing which i can see being a hassle all in itself, and then the fees on top for the flying, it seems pretty costly for just wanting 30 mins local VFR with an instructor right? lol
cheers
Will

I can help you, providing your time frame is between now and March 22. After that it's schedule permitting. I have G1000 172's available, SR-20, and SR-22. PM me for details and rates.
Introductory flights and recurrent training as below are exempt from the security requirements:
TSA has interpreted the definition of "recurrent training" to NOT include any flight review, proficiency check, or other check required by 14 CFR § 61.57 or § 61.58 whose purpose is to review rules, maneuvers, or procedures, or to demonstrate a pilot's existing skills. The TSA has further interpreted the definition of "flight training" for aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or less to only apply to training for a recreational pilot, sport pilot, or private pilot certificate; multiengine rating (at any certificate level — i.e., does not apply to MEI); or instrument rating (does not include recurrent training).
