  • This has been an itch I've wanted to scratch for a long time. I have searched the Central Florida airports for a multi-engine aircraft to rent and after many unanswered calls and emails I spoke with D&J Aviation in Apopka. They were more than happy to oblige, and thankfully I now have a multi-engine aircraft to fly. But before I can celebrate, I have to put my game face on and perform well on this checkout flight. It's been years since I've flown a light twin but it was a breath of fresh air to get behind the yoke of one again!
    Enjoy the flight!

    Flying an A36 Bonanza, 214Hrs in the past 8 months so I’m used to positive rate, gear up…. Going through my MEL in a Duchess B76 last week and instructor said the same thing ! Man was I pissed that I missed the gear up…. I was focused on him getting ready to fail one of the engines ! In the end….. the gear wouldn’t retract. Grrr. So, back to land and have to wait until its fixed.
