Your writing style is confusing. Can't tell what's a quote, what's paraphrased, and what your own words are. I once found a flight school airplane with a rudder that only went to the right half the amount it was supposed to. It had been flying for months like that. That said, I doubt there was...

Neither entry works at my field with parachute jumpers. Crossing over 500 above doesn't work when there is an airspace shelf above or if there are large multiengine or turbine aircraft flying a 1500 pattern. The midfield entry poses a head-on collision risk when the wind is calm. Oh, the AC and...

I've eaten pineapple on pizza twice and didn't mind it. Actually kind of liked it. But not enough to eat it more than twice. And the pizza in the photo has way too high a ratio of pineapple to nonpineapple ingredients. You're not supposed to put entire slices on, it's not a f*****g upside down...

I believe the context of the thread is VFR.

It does seem to be a lighting issue. In the first pic, the armrests on the left door and right door look like they're 2 different colors.

Why is TERPS and AIM 5-2-9, entitled "Instrument Departure Procedures (DP) - Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODP), Standard Instrument Departures (SID), and Diverse Vector Areas (DVA)" relevant to VFR?

I don't know how to interpret that.

Seems like that gives them a lot of leeway to make that determination, but you are saying it doesn't?

You didn't take my advice and brush up on your incredibly wrong understanding of weather, or did this happen more than 2 years ago? https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/whats-going-on-with-these-clouds.139415/

From the other thread: "I did actually drop down into a valley a couple times where the clouds allowed, until I realized it wasn't the valley my airport was in"

And yet you descended into the wrong valley and couldn't find the airport several times? I think there are a lot of vagaries in your scenario and it's making it difficult to relate to, understand, or analyze.

Dumb mix-up yes, unbelievable no. It's not like we always know in advance where we're going. "Hello Captain, this is crew scheduling, we need you to operate flight XXX. By the way, it was supposed to leave an hour ago so we'd appreciate it if you hurry on to gate 25."

Autopilot? I didn't see anything in the report about use of an autopilot. The sequence of events leading up to the first spin look very deliberate to me. The altitude, the rapid pitch up, the power reduction, etc. If we assume that the second stall/spin was not deliberate, which may or may not...

A certificate is evidence that you've been certified to do something. But we're not allowed to say certified, because the FAA will think the general population will believe a certified pilot or certified flight instructor has been approved by the FAA to be a pilot or flight instructor. And we...

What about the area forecast and forecast discussion? So...I'm a bit confused about how you got into this situation. Did you fly over an undercast?

The abbreviation PPL is not a POA thing, it's an internet thing. And it is officially a license in other countries.

Well, I don't enter spins like that, nor is it that the procedure recommended by Cessna. This is from the C172 NAV III POH: "During extended spins of two to three turns or more, the spin will tend to change into a spiral, particularly to the right. This will be accompanied by an increase in...

Most, if not all, big flight schools and time-building instructors live in backwards-land, where a short field landing actually uses more runway than a normal landing, and "minimal floating" actually means "stretch the float to your touchdown point". Cessna POH technique, imaginary obstacle...

You know you need 50 hours of XC time to get an instrument rating right?
