Great video. I like the editing!

Why'd they change the name of NOTAMs?

Hey there, Robin. We're glad to have you. PM me if you need an assist. We also have a phone number that is answered by a real human being during office hours.

I believe Martin Pauley was pretty pleased with Gardner at Peachtree City. They did a big job on his Bonanza.

Don't worry about the $$. Just do well in your training! Best of luck to you.

Thanks, much appreciated. We don't beg for money, we don't add you to an email database, nor make you jump through hoops. It's just click, download, and enjoy.

But you will in the FAR.

Gold Seal is working with about a dozen high schools around the country doing ground school programs. It is definitely becoming a very popular "thing".

You're spot on. That's why it is imperative that pilots brief this before takeoff. Even something as simple as turning downwind instead of upwind may be the difference between success and failure.

With all due respect, I completely disagree. 90-270? How exactly does that work? I don't see any safety factor in it at all. It is certainly longer periods in the turn(s) and probably takes you further away from the airport. Could you draw this out?

Yep, it's all about the angles. But most of the YT videos about it are crap.

What? You didn't care to do a W&B on a 727? And how about that critical knowledge like how many stewardesses are needed on flight with 24 passengers?

The new flight instructors that you describe clearly have no interest in "book learning". They probably believe that the only useful knowledge is learned in the airplane while the Hobbs meter is turning. Anyone can become an instructor, but that doesn't mean that they are actually good at it. I...

Also add to your briefing - which direction will you turn? Right or left. And with all due respect, I think the arbitrary selection of 500 feet carries a lot of risk.

It is a HUGE model and involves a LOT of ADM. It's not just a kinetic exercise. At 500 feet, in almost all cases, the best choice is to land in a narrow pie slice in front of you. But if downtown Atlanta is the only thing ahead, there may not be any good choices. Fly it all the way into the...

I've seen the same video everyone else has seen and my opinion is no better than anyone elses. Departing to the south, as Steingar mentioned, there are no reasonable options for an off-airport landing. My SWAG is a possible engine-failure event at roughly 400 feet AGL while departing RWY 21R. A...

Locals still call it Peachtree-Dekalb, but the real name is Dekalb-Peachtree.

Up until very recently, the FAA did report when they tossed out questions - well not the actual questions, but classes of questions and topics. For example, they reported when they dropped all of the ADF questions. This was done in document that the Airman Testing Branch published called "What's...

Since the FAA and PSI partnered up contractually, test question updating is now happening more quickly. The plan is to do away with the Knowledge Test Supplement altogether. Test takers won't be able to know in advance what Figures may appear on any given exam. They are really starting to clamp...
