    Question about FAR/AIM...

    Technically you need to check online for revisions and updates. I would mention and show where amendments can be found / or how to find the most up to date record. I do have an older book with highlighted tabs, I’d probably still use it in future checkrides with comments to the online version.

    Forward Slips with Flaps on a Practical Test

    I was going to say using a slip is not on the private checkride but then I might have used the slip on mine, I don’t remember right now. If you need to land and you are too high, a slip is needed to get where you need to go. So it is something to learn, but follow the POH and verbalize any...

    Location reporting in magnetic or true?

    I don’t think ATC really believes it when you tell them where you are. That’s why you get a code and are asked to IDENT.

    Great visit to GA2 - short field, soft field, sloping runway, and great food!

    I believe someone recommended this airport to me as well while I was heading back north and it was an awesome airport, loved the restaurant, dog friendly, outdoor seating, was super fun, great food and southern hospitality.

    Best plane for first time plane owner?

    For time building I’d get something probably in the 40-50k range that burns 4-5gph. You can rent a club airplane for xc trips with friends.

    Bulging Lithium Battery: Stratux ADSB

    Can you get a longer wire and put the power bank on the floor so it’s not in direct sunlight? Although probably a good idea for it to be in your visual sight in case it does start to smoke. Swollen batteries happens, not sure the reason exactly, but it has happened on an Apple laptop of mine...

    Nose wheel tire flat - unclear why

    It is reoccurring but I’m not sure why. I believe it was the valve stems, so I’m very careful about not touching them unless needed.
