    Students are "Learners" now...........

    That doesn't look honest to me, it looks like putting lipstick on a pig.

    Students are "Learners" now...........

    Let me give it a go: "Woke" is the expression used to describe the sudden desire to recruit and indoctrinate, by force of law or regulation, those inherently opposed to one's political beliefs rather than engage in time honored methods of persuasion.

    Students are "Learners" now...........

    The "GUIDELINES For The Conduct of BIENNIAL FLIGHT REVIEWS" was a product of an ad hoc industry group in 1975. You name it, they were represented, including THE Ohio State University and the FAA. It's concerning to me how we have met the enemy, and he is us since then. A direct quote: "It is...

    I bet some didn't sleep very well after seeing their fuel temps decreasing over the north pole.

    I think "Part 3 of The Airman's Information Manual," YMMV.

    This flying seems awfully expensive...

    Yikes! :eek: Here on the south shore of Lake Erie we have midges. They don't bite. Poor, poor pitiful you!

    An elephant in the room: poor diet and lifestyle can lead to medical issues

    Peter Attia? The same guy who eats $40 worth of jerky sticks per day? Since he invests in that company, I'd say he's more a doctor of personal finance than longevity. https://www.businessinsider.com/dr-peter-attia-diet-longevity-jerky-sticks-processed-2023-10

    Cessna 140 Tips, Tricks, Habits

    I owned a '46 with 4-inch wheel extensions when I was a lot younger — over 50 years ago. Then, being somewhat fresh in my mind since I was still pretty much a kid from today's perspective, wheel landings reminded me of jumping on a pogo stick, and I was never very good on those things.

    Turns around a point in a low wing

    It depends on what he means by "wingtip", sonny. ;)

    Turns around a point in a low wing

    @AV8R_87 not a low wing, but the reference point in your window follows the same track: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/ground-reference-maneuvers.65933/post-1324787

    Beechcraft Baron 55 down in Leyden MA, triple fatal

    It's the correct description of what some folks do as well as why they shouldn't: A lot of inconsistency and negative transfer going on. A big hairy leg pushing back at your attempt to locate the "iron stop" on the rudder isn't a solid feeling, so would result in confusion and delay before...

    New case against flight tracking

    Hey, aren't you the guy who had his nav lenses reversed and got called by some mechanic you flew over? No wonder you feel this way.

    Plane crash on FL freeway

    Amazing footage. Probably tried to find a space in between vehicles and didn't notice the concrete barrier on the right? Could've landed in the grass median with better luck? Sometimes you make the best of choices with what you know and still lose.

    Commercial training, realistically!

    Not to MY standards, YMMV. :)

    New case against flight tracking

    I'm replying to the prospect of real time tracking of every automobile, so your state doesn't appear to offer that service. I think you must agree with me that it's a regrettable policy, since you keep your identification and location private here on POA.

    New case against flight tracking

    Follow the bouncing ball: There would be such a hue and cry, I wouldn't need to do anything. People only want to know where others are, wouldn't stand for it the other way around. (I hope.)
