Dump your hubby for the other instructor. There are too many other dynamics going on in a marriage for you two to be in a productive instructor/student relationship.

Ha! Wait until he gets to the E6B.

Try that video above. Kinda the best of both worlds.

Having said all that, I really like her approach:

Agreed. Concentrate on learning the Pray Wheel, sharpening pencils, and checking your math. If for no other reason, you’ll have a feel for back of the envelope estimates of times, distances, and fuel requirements and gauge whether you’ve made any input errors on the iPad. The wind side of...

Yes, for drugs possession it is the final conviction that counts. So you’re in the clear…..unless the incident had some bearing on you DL history. Once a car or boat where You are the operator is involved, it all changes. Every arrest for DUI—drugs or alcohol, regardless of the final...

he has a marking question on the sectional. The answer isn’t clear in looking at the chart compared to the legend. Coming back to flying I did several courses & most describe G as “everything else.” So his confusion is a reasonable question.

Nothing is worse than one partner laying down on his obligation because his financial situation has changed. I’d be leery of being in a partnership without a mandatory hourly fund escrowed toward engine replacement. Cap the contribution at a worst case replacement. the money could be in an...

Not only that, but the software has stopped threading properly. Leads to some bizarre discussions after about 75 messages.

Another late night with a bottle?

yep. well said. I'm sorry about your friend.

some. But I can cite a lot of examples of naivety in the contracting practice that tied DoD to "rent seekers" for decades. Especially in the earlier days of computers. Take the military health records system during the switch to electronic. The basic contract deal was "our data, your...

Imagine it had more to do with people who have an unrepresentative axe to grind flooding the forum. As well as bad information being passed. the AOPA foruns are quite responsive to critics.

Rainy day here. But people don’t realize how pervasive this process is. I throw up in the back of my throat every time Lockheed or GD ads show up in front of a show featuring a woman, a white man, & a brown person in uniform showing them operating sophisticated shipboard equipment under a blue...

Well said, that’s the attitude that is going to cost us. There are 340 million of them & only 700 thousand of us.

depending on how you squint at this, as opposed to in-house employees doing DPE, the FAA has already privatized most of the process. Now certifying DPEs is just another bureaucratic paperwork process with a very high risk & no reward.

but the key is the contract, where the Govt get’s outfoxed by a stable of high power layers every time. Not to mention the constant appeals of unfavorable findings. Then the govt has a choice, grinfpd that process to a halt or eat the loss. “Breathe in. Breathe out. Move on” our...

Are they? I mean Ignorant or hysterical? Or are they merely human capable of projecting the dangers from what they see in the present? That is what amygdala is for. And, we often loose sight of this, they are also fellow taxpayers & property owners, exercising their Constitutional right to...

There is nothing to indicate that the FAA tightens issuance of DPE’s independent of public, NTSB, and congressional pressure To “do something.” If the perpetrator is already dead and, having exacted his own punishment by his own hand, the question frequently focuses on “who passed this fool?”...

We’re a strange tribe, Americans. No more expensive FAA DPEs on the federal tit. We insist that private sector is better than government at doing everything and then complain when government functions are private sectorized and it cost a fortune because of artificial scarcity to keep the...
