Sorry if this is the wrong place for this thread! Please move if it’s better suited in a different section. Has anybody here ever tried hang gliding? I’m still healing financially from my instrument rating and haven’t been airborne much since December. I’ve decided not to pursue my commercial...

That’s sad. I was there over the summer for the Queen concert and it was such a nice airport.

Congrats @denverpilot! I’m on my third Subie - one Impreza and two WRX’s and I’ve loved them all. My current one is actually an ‘02. I used to have a 2017 WRX but got fed up with some of the tech issues you describe and some recurring issues with it (plus dealership troubles). Now I have a...

Thanks guys. I went up with one of my buddies a few nights ago (under the hood, actual conditions here were CAVU at the time), but we flew a back course and an ILS. The back course was pretty nice. I felt okay with that one. Our ILS receiver failed and I finally figured it out when I crossed...

Thanks!!

It ended up as I was driving that it was clearing up in St Louis but as I got down to C-dale there were thick gray clouds there. I’m not good at judging ceiling height from the ground but just from looking out the window I would not have left the pattern if I were just flying around Carbondale...

As I said above it was 500 - 1000 when I pulled weather, predicted to lift to 2000-3000 by my ETA.

I hadn't really, because that was what was predicted. METAR's all around me were showing 500 - 1000 ft ceilings yesterday morning and it was just predicted to lift as the day went on. It did a bit, but it was definitely higher up north than it was near Carbondale.

Thanks guys. I got back late last night and woke up to these responses and they really made me feel a lot better about everything. I definitely think that @midlifeflyer and @mryan75 are right in that it's kind of a headgame. In one of my last flights before my checkride I went up with a...

I just got my IFR ticket back in December. I haven't flown since my checkride and so I was planning on heading about an hour southeast of me to visit a college buddy of mine - it's about a two hour drive. The weather today was IFR with ceilings overcast at 2000 - 3000 feet at estimated...

Any chance you could PM me about these? Not in the market but I'm in St. Louis and I'd absolutely love to see these before they disappear.

Thank you! I think I'm going to sleep for about 12 hours tonight :D

Hey guys and gals. I know I've been AWOL for a while. I've been lurking but not posting. Been kind of busy with school and also with preparing to convince the FAA that I should have an instrument rating. That happened tonight, and what a checkride it was. My checkride was scheduled at...

What I'm referring to is the ground track indicator to correct for wind. The 430W will indicate desired track vs. current track and I've found that if I bring that into my instrument scan during ILS approaches I have few issues. I've been told that if the DPE catches you looking at the ground...

Thanks. I think #2 is one of the things I’m wondering about. Like how liberally to apply this. For instance if we were doing an approach during my instruction as long as my instructor didn’t say anything I’d fight for it to minimums. As we have gotten into the prep phase I’ve been more apt to...

Not trying to be a snark but that’s not helpful nor was it what I am asking. I have the ACS. You could well tell someone training for a marathon “put one foot in front of the other for 23 miles.” It wouldn’t be incorrect.

Used Honda Shadow 750. Pick your flavor (Aero or Spirit). They are fast enough to do interstate speeds, handle decent for cruisers, are lightweight (for cruisers), can haul a passenger, are cheap to buy, get 40-50 mpg, and are cheap to insure.

So I have kicked the can down the road long enough and have finally decided it is time to schedule my IR checkride. Any advice? My CFII I've been working with is leaving to the airlines (congrats!) and I've been shuffled to a couple of CFII's to complete the signoff. No big deal as I know...

I’m going to disagree. We also have things that our parents never had. Cable TV, cell phone service, gym memberships, online subscriptions, multi-car families, etc that are normal for millennials but that previous generations didn’t worry with. We are lifestyle and appearance obsessed and take...
