Just echoing what other people said here. The fact that you are doing post-flight analyses and striving to continuously improves are good signs. And yeah - it's a perishable sill - I went a couple of months without so much as flying the pattern. The first time I went back up, I felt like I...

Beautiful! Both the airplane and your photographs!

This gives me severe ptsd. We dealt with the dreaded double red Xs a few years ago with our Aspen. All fixed now, but whenever I see a big red X, all I see is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Maybe I'll give them a call to see what's involved....

In a similar situation - 1969 Arrow with non-headrest front seats.... would like to add seats with headrests as part of an interior renovation. Nope. Can't modify the existing seat frames to add headrests without FSDO getting involved since modifying seat frames is considered a major...

Yep. Same issue. A/P adjusted the up-limit switch and it fixed it. I still get the light flickering every once-in-a-while..... actually hasn't happened in a long time. And yes, OP is back from the dead just like this thread :lol:

Good point good point. So their question bank just grows and grows with no pruning of deprecated questions. :D so I probably studied a lot more than I needed to... no wonder my head hurt for days after taking those writtens.

Brad, this isn't an argument to your point because you are not wrong about FAA not making questions known to the public. Just want to call one thing out about the Sheppard system - I think Sheppard is able to keep their test question bank up-to-date by relying on the test-takers themselves. They...

Same. Used Sheppard to drill-n-kill the written. Took two weeks of pretty intense, focused studying and following their system to the letter, but it resulted in a 98%. I forget which question I missed. As mentioned above - you have to follow the Sheppard system to the letter. Don't try to invent...

Dang man. Yeah, hope he gets help. Sad.

Yep. Happening now. Reputable (?) news source is reporting on that now. Ugh. Not political yet, but the questions around airport security has def come up.

Unreal...

a (reputable?) news source is covering it now.... Looks like he's over some national park now

Just saw this on our local news.... not good.... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11176215/Police-evacuate-stores-Mississippi-pilot-stolen-threatens-crash-Walmart.html (OK this isn't the local news paper... saw it on local news TV)

I want to see the follow-up to this: Aerial trout fishing

Sorry, Rusty. Your dad sounds like a great father, role model and all-around good dude. Great tribute to your pops. Haven't met you in person yet, but it seems like his spirit is strong in you, man. Again, sorry to hear about your dad.

You and I must fly in the same airspace.... On any busy Saturday around here (DC area), it is utter chaos on CTAF at the smaller airports in this area. Shared frequencies across airports with flight schools, people bashing the pattern, lunch runs, etc. it is almost funny how unusable CTAF can...

Yep. Same here. Happens almost every time I forget to fly for a few weeks and go out of the SFRA to fly the pattern at a smaller airport nearby. If there is a jet or twin coming in on final and I'm on downwind I let them know I'm extending and will follow them in. Do I have to? Maybe not. Can I...

Same! Luckily, they knew they had the coffee-breath and always chewed gum. Even joked about it. pretty much just nicotine. not like tobacco dip with those side-effects.

Have never had a GPS failure in flight. Had comms issues before but I have two radios, so wasn't that big of a deal. A bit off topic, but flying to the airport to meet the DPE for my IR ride, my PTT button broke... the amazing folks at White Hawk Aviation (CJR/Culpepper VA) fixed it while I was...
