I think it depends on the person. I have a few brand new students who love 6 pack and appreciate the simple analog display (oh which we only really have one or two left in the club). I have others who look at a 6 pack and can't make heads or tails but within a few minutes know their way around a...

Unless a witness is a pilot or has actual experience being around airplanes and aviation I would give extremely little weight to what a 'witness' reports in an aviation accident. Piston planes often don't sound 'right' especially when maneuvering (or, as likely in this case, out of control)...

Fairly new plane too.. right? October or November? Gotta say McDonnell, I mean Boeing, ain't inspiring confidence!

I've been using turo for a few years and have not looked back. Such an easy experience.

Recognizing that in itself demonstrates ADM. No one is perfect, you got in over your head but managed that in the air aviating and navigating, and you've added that much more to your experience bucket :)

Funny. I get the exact same feeling. I was just telling another pilot I was flying with during a sunset flight that it's very 'Twilight zone', it certainly feels like you're entering a metaphysical nothingness. I get it over the desert at night too.. when leaving San Diego heading east, as soon...

Thanks for posting this, sounds like you exercised great ADM.

that Hagerty review video someone posted up thread included some pretty innovative features, the whole electrical architecture cuts down on the materials needed. I'm generally impressed by it and appreciate having some variety out there in the market.. That's what I love about it. Too many...

And this is exactly why GA accident statistics as a whole can be 'dubious' .. which incidentally I have been told in the past that flying a small plane can be not dissimilar from riding a motorcycle safety-wise Still, I think multis are often unfairly maligned

I don't think it's fair to attribute known proficiency deficiencies of many private multi pilots to an accident in a completely new and unconventional aircraft type. Maybe it was an engine failure that caused the crash, maybe it wasn't. But a dude in a Baron who wrecks a twin because he hasn't...

Indeed. I spent too much time on 61.51 and the whole acting verse serving and neglected the whole 'control seat' portion like an idiot!

Oops! I don't know how I missed that!!

TCABM Beat me to it, but here's a good write up from TheDrive: https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-las-vegas-f1-race-isnt-off-to-a-great-start

is it more likely that the fuel expanded just enough to suddenly pour out during expansion, or, that the fuel tank now rotated 7-15 degrees submerged the cap and caused it to leak? Note that this whole 'fuel expansion' thing, while true, is a little over used. Avgas only expands about 4% for a...

yeah that's crap - ask yourself is there a limitation, with placard, in the POH that says 'do not top off' ?

I love it! If we're splitting hairs there's no requirement for a safety pilot to be in reach of the controls either.. hmmm Spirit of the law and letter of the law and all that.

It does seem like there's a higher level of CYA 'don't want blood on my hands' type of thing.. wonder if that may have anything to do with it yup! You also generally don't want to give the examiner a reason to dig deeper into one of the areas.. IE, have a solid explanation up front. If you...

No ACS, luckily, it's an easier PTS! https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/test_standards##Flight-Instructors I took mine in April. No real issues, the oral is LOOOONG. You've got to know all your PPL stuff, comm stuff, and be able to teach it! The flying part is not bad, just weird to...
