Here's a MUCH better description: http://www.challengers101.com/AltSettings.html

Actually, all of my sentences are incorrect! Sorry!!!

You are going from a higher pressure to a lower pressure in your question. Think of it this way. Atmospheric pressure is highest at the lowest point on the planet. It has the most atmosphere pressing down on it...right? So... Going from 29.15 to 28.85, you are going up in altitude...less...

I agree! His point was mostly, fly the plane...fly the plane...fly the plane...but entering class E airspace with commercial traffic, you bet your sweet ass I'm gonna announce my position/intention.

Congrats!

For the written (for me) it was all about studying the questions, and testing myself. This one did it really well: http://jeppdirect.jeppesen.com/main/store/product_details.jsp?id=prod854

You'll be fine. Don't sweat it. I know dudes with 2 DUIs who had to jump through lots of hoops--but still got their medical back. You are not the droids they are looking for. But, if you want to follow up, call FAA at this number, give them your social, and ask them for the status of...

Thanks Brian! I did a quick preflight anyway--but I made sure he was nice and cozy first:) I has just flown a few hours prior so I wasn't too concerned. No problem on working the 430...it just threw me for a loop--flying to a tiny strip when we had a nice class E airport right there...

At the time, I did not now it was his field...and since it's Delta, CO the snow couldn't be more than 6-8 inches on pavement (basically high desert)...but I did express my concern by saying, "REALLY? With all that snow on it????" And he replied, "It's rare we get to do an actual soft field on a...

HA! We land at Blake pretty regularly. Nice rollers off of 03 and decent downdrafts off of 21. Good power-on-final practice! But Westwinds, well... There's another private dirt strip just west of Delta. Landed there as well...super fun.

D17 (Westwinds). It parallels Hwy 50--small strip with about 5 hangers/houses on it.

Thanks guys...lifelong dream, realized! Now, onto IFR and ME.

Yup, mixture was set during pre landing check and prop was in on final. This airport was at 5000 feet...it's no Telluride or Leadville, which IMO are freakin' easy since they plow those and they are 100 feet wide. This strip had the profile of a sidewalk. And he OWNS the airfield we landed...

He told me I could tell him to **** up--but he guaranteed that I would have passengers who were much more nervous that he, and much more chatty. I declined the offer--mostly for the challenge of it all :) Still, none of you guys have commented on the snow covered soft fields...those were...

Right? My CFI said it was BS...and I shot a text to the DPE...he said carb heat to cold before power ONLY in the instance of a go around. He said he has seen a few instances where the engine quit in a similar situation.

Hi Guys! Passed my PPL Check Ride this past weekend! Whew. We only have one examiner around here so we have lots of beta on his profile. Strangley...the Check Ride was not like any profile I had heard of from 3 CFIs and two students who had taken a ride with this Examiner. Here's a little...
