I’ve seen this view a hundred times on commercial flights, but it’s always special on a morning IFR currency flight in a 172. When conditions are right like they were yesterday, I can knock out 3 approaches in actual in an hour WITH a hold! (Hold didn’t count yesterday bc I was VMC at the hold point)

Isn't it interesting/counterintuitive how pitching up can result in LESS climb? We know this because of our training, but your instinct is, "I'm too low, need to pull back" yet it was obvious as he either continued to pull back or was trimmed for said pitch attitude that he stopped climbing. I...

Back to obsolete terms: Uncontrolled airport/field

You know what, transfer the plane and title to me, and I’ll worry about it for you!

Substitute the word beers with steaks, and that was my night last night!

Sounds like the TLSA Sparker is made for you!

Im not familiar with IPSC, but I wouldn’t be opposed to an IDPA style shoot. Guys with regular guns, shoot, get off the X, shoot again.

If you take the following, put it into Word, Replace KIPT with your airport code (Control or Command+F to find, then replace all) you can have 50, 100, and 325 NM rings in ForeFlight. (I used 325, because that's my max planning range. I have more fuel than that, but if I plan for that, I leave...

I was nervous when I first saw the tail number. A friend of mine has 999ET.

For the pilots who are VFR only, summer is the time when they fly the most. If they are rusty because they are not flying during the winter months, then it stands to reason that summer would be when we see an uptick in GA accidents. I'm not bashing VFR pilots, it's just a statistical...

My current job's basic infrastructure is still based off of a DOS-prompt style code and response system and a horrible Windows95 GUI. However, as someone who grew up on a Commdore64, then upgraded to Windows 3.1, and my first laptop had Windows95, this is a very familiar system. My coworkers on...

Aren't we all? You have to refuel, put it back in the hangar, clean off the bugs, check the oil level, add a quart, complete your logbook entry...and THEN the 20 minute drive home. Oh, and you might as well stop for dinner while you're out, oh, and we're out of milk. Since we're going to the...

Instructor is a former B-52 and then B-1 pilot. Thousands of flight hours in all types. Pilot for 50+ years. Has trained USAF Thunderbird pilots. @AV8R_87 mentioned CAP cadets being more disciplined. I'm not casting aspersions on the student, but I have my opinion on which was likely the more...

I learned today that she did not touch base with her instructor and that he didn’t know she was even flying that day until the accident happened. To be fair, KLHV is one of two airports to which most instructors send their students out of KIPT for their first “adventure” away from the home...

No, that's just the government saying, "Hey, when we took all that money, we accidentally took some of it that we weren't supposed to (ie. theft). So I guess rather than the government getting arrested, we'll give it back."

Don't get me wrong, if they want to give me my money back, I'd be happy to invest it in a drone that is 5 years newer with added tech.

I would say (with the added Quebecois hint) that it's generally pronounced as poo-tsin by francophones and as poo-teen by anglophones.

That's fair. My wife is Quebecoise, so it's what I'm used to hearing. I won't say I sound great, but I'm getting there. :)

Oh, great! Here is the link to the CAP Squadron's post on Facebook.
