Hi
what is the easiest way to incorperate FSE with PE for someone who is interested in flying for a purpose but is not concerned with building companies and the economic side of it.
thx Lee

You don't have to build any companies, FBO's or buy any planes. However, the economics of it are unavoidable. Don't worry, it's still fun.

Find a plane within the PE service area that you're interested in flying and that is available to rent. You can then use it for a bunch of hops. Make sure you make more money on the hops than it costs you to rent the plane (should be easy to do). I did that for a few months using King Airs and Barons, had a blast. I eventually had enough to buy my own Baron. I'm saving up to buy a Jetstream.

Hi
thanks Keith for you quick response. I will give it a try. Also it's been a great experience so far on pilot edge.

If you need help getting started contact me offline, as i have a little network of rented gates (KWHP - KRAL - KRIV - KCRQ).

Also there is a hub and spoke that has been built out at KSAN, and plenty of small pistons to rent.

Thanks

Keith

What is your id on FSE?

I fly with FSE as well. I own Fallbrook (L18) and Warner Springs (CL35). There are some great opportunities to fly FSE on the PE network. It just takes a little searching. Don't forget that non-towered airports are fun to fly to/from as well.

Hi Marcus. I'm just getting started on FSE (viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4317). What exactly do you mean when you say you "own" those two fields? (I'll confess that I haven't read the FSE manual yet... that's now on the top of my to do list). Should newcomers stake a claim on some small, uncontrolled airport in the area that they fly (i.e. PE area) to get the most enjoyment out of FSE?

He means he has an FBO at each where assignments are generated and fuel can be sold/purchased.

Thanks Lance. But it doesn't mean some sort of "exclusive" access to that airport or anything, does it? Because that's how I keep reading it when people say "I just got such-and-such airport!", like it's a first-come-first-served / you-snooze-you-lose kind of thing.

Nope, it just means he has to keep the airport supplied so you as a pilot can fill up.
