No reason to do that. It's only really one more part of the GUMPS check so why not to bring the landing gear into the initial training. You shouldn't learn to not actuate or think about the gear and then later on change that.

None of these seem like "hidden" costs to me. They are (or should be) well known by an aircraft buyer/owner. To me, hidden costs would be things like unexpected repairs, unscheduled maintenance, or things like that. If proper research is done, there isn't much hidden in the cost area.

I've thought quite a bit about this and the legality of such orders. I think that until martial law is ordered (all bets are off then) the American public is mainly compliant with orders whether or not they are forcible. I own a restaurant and all have been closed in our state. If I really...

I believe that FlyQ is three devices also. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if you were to contact them and explain your situation, that they may increase it in your situation. In my experience with them so far, they have been quite helpful and accomodating with any issue or question that I...

I've found stalls in a Cessna are far more "stallish" than some other planes. Perhaps you're just slowing too much before starting to pitch up and sinking rather than stalling. I did my iitial flight training in a Piper Archer. When I was first told we would do some stalls, I thought it would...

If you explain your situation to your instructor, perhaps you can still do more training and maybe even progress on to some IFR training so that when this does get sorted out you are more than prepared for building your solo hours and have a great jump start on your IFR as well. It will...

I have a few single family homes that I rent out. The key is finding good renters and maintaining the property so there are no surprises. If you are handy and can flip a house into a rental, there is the added benefit of serious return on investment. I have one 3 bedroom 2 bath house that I...

What kills me is when people with dogs in their house ask you to take your shoes off when you come in. Are you serious? Do the dogs take off their shoes after running across the lawn where they just did their business? I understand if it is raining outside, snowy, or if your shoes are dirty...

No ice runway at all this year. Warm Weather Keeps Alton Bay’s Ice Runway Closed This Season

My opinion is that you stay in line until there is no one ready to go in front of you. Then the first one ready to go is up. In your situation with a runup are off to the side, I think you were completely correct to get in line when you were finished with the runup and checklists. You did...

I have never used flight following except during PPL training. A few years later, I am going on to my IFR and looking back, I believe it would have been good practice. I don't feel that I was an less safe flying cross country without it, but it is a valuable tool for those that want the extra...

I love flying in to Eagle Creek (EYE). I have flown in on Carb day (the Friday prior to the race) and it was not overly busy. They had a rental car ready for me also. Fees were not out of line with any other business airport I've beenand didn't seem jacked up because of the race. I'd call...
