Or having more realistic expectations given the situation. I took it as a good sign. As I recall he never claimed his instructor was not knowledgable, but more that his style didn’t work for him. But he has few to no good choices now. He seems to have adjusted, and maybe is experiencing it...

I can be pretty hard on myself too, but when it gets out of hand it doesn’t seem to me to be a good thing. Aiming to be objective about yourself with high standards and at the appropriate time just try to concentrate on doing it “perfect”. I don’t think being defensive, specially preemptively...

I don’t know what you’ve experienced, but personally as a student, I haven’t really noticed anyone being a “hater” and being made to feel like crap. Mostly either neutral or encouraging. I think it is a good thing that you figured out that that worked for you, and why. From an outsider what...

To me it seems like in general I’d give maybe more credence to an airline pilot with many hours when the subject is...airline issues, and maybe the GA pilot a little more when the subject is GA, stick and rudder. Of course, some commercial pilots also fly GA, and anyway tend to weigh the actual...

The only account I read of this stated that it had dissipated before reaching the ground and it was just the odor they reacted to and that no one needed to visit the hospital. I have no idea if that was correct. Are there accounts that report people were also covered in it?

That link I posted I think points to strategies for time and distance doesn’t it? The possibility of using less fuel and still making it to the same destination but conserving fuel, not really extending distance, just using less fuel to get there

well, that was my initial instinctive idea, but I wasn’t factoring in drag, etc. and found the thread I was referring to. Specially the second page of the thread where I asked about that, and got some great information in response, here...

I’m not sure of the details, or if this is done in the US, but here in Norway in summertime there are volunteers that fly around looking for forest fires. I think I heard that they fly for free, compensated for fuel, but then that would mean you had to have a commercial pilots cert? Obviously, I...

There was a recent thread, I can’t remember what the subject was, of a pilot that was in a similar situation that set throttle for minimum fuel consumption even though headwinds to conserve dwindling fuel. It increased flight time, and seems like it was a good alternative. Was very interesting...

ah..but I had problems with the opposite. Scrambling to learn all I thought he meant I ought to know. Had tons of questions each briefing. Finally just asked about it and I was trying to learn too wide, too much. Was overwhelming myself. He was like “no, we will get to those, but for now just...

Wouldn’t there be a way to hone in on the controlling frequencies? Wouldn’t they be in a known frequency band and since there are like 30+ controllers, most likely concentrated in a small area, could they use that to track where they are being controlled from? In modern warfare, I’d be very...

Heh...I was just coming here to post very similar. Had to do repairs on my little sailboat, and at West Marine and happened to grab a catalog. Was paving through it just to see, and saw almost the exact same type we are talking about here, but seem MUCH more sturdy and well made. Hadn’t thought...

“These are not the drones you are looking for”

Surely you don’t mean that?

I liked the “While there has been no claim of responsibility, an abundance of theories have been offered, ranging from the work of a Mexican drug cartel, to aliens from a far-off galaxy” just imagine the technical capabilities of aliens from a far off galaxy, having to get a P.O. Box so they...

your right, sorry...thought it was in that article, but it was this one from nbc https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mysterious-drones-swarm-over-colorado-nebraska-unleashes-origin-theories-n1108941 As far as the drive article, it was just a link...I thought it might be of interest with the...

from the article I linked to, it is a federal offense to shoot down a drone. I’m kind of amazed, no matter what the drone is doing?

At this site https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/31631/there-is-a-big-and-bizarre-drone-mystery-unfolding-in-rural-colorado they mention: “The FAA does have rules for drones that weigh less than 55 pounds and requires such aircraft to be flown during daylight hours, within sight of the...

Im not sure of the photo from the story itself is stock or actually a photo of the occurrences. But in the photo they aren’t exactly configured for mapping out areas. They aren’t flying in a formation, but a swarm, beside and over each other. Also some of your guesses, don’t make sense to me...

Reading the article, I kinda liked the warning, which pretty much describes the drones characteristic as a potential firebomb, in their warning to residents not to shoot them down. Lithium remote controlled firebombs. But “they don’t seem to be malicious”... glad they are on top of it! It...
