They are not necessarily trying to meet any specific time requirements for a pilot certificate/rating since they already have enough hours (aeronautical experience) in an actual airplane. They just logged a few hours of sim time in their logbook from a revaluation in a Redbird simulator for a...

If a student receives simulator time from a Redbird SD (an AATD), which column on the IACRA 8710 form would the student log it in? The FTD or ATD column? It seems that the IACRA form is still outdated and does not reflect the 2008 changes that occurred when the FAA split ATDs into two...

Yes sir, the phraseology verbatim. I don't necessarily need the explanation, just the exact sentences/quotes.

I'm finishing up my CFI-I and hope to teach instrument students soon. I want to simulate ATC instructions as authentic and proper as possible to my future students. I was wondering if there is all-encompassing document out there that contains all ATC phraseology (approach clearances, holding...

Just started flying CFI training and trying to chew bubble gum and talk at the same time.... I believe I'm getting a weird sight picture flying from the right seat because my maneuvers (both private and commercial) are pretty mediocre. Most of all, I'm sideloading my landings and landing hard...

Let's say me (an IFR-rated and current pilot) and a friend (an IFR-rated but NOT CURRENT pilot) wanted to file and go up together in actual IMC (no hood or foggles). I want him to do most of the flying just so he can have fun in the clouds. Neither of us are CFIs/CFIIs Would he be able to log...

The bounded one. I did not know there was a leaf hole-punched one.

My IFR checkride is scheduled next week. I've been using paper approach plates throughout my IR training which consists of printing approach plates from the FAA website, and we usually shoot approaches in the same three airport in our local area. If we're going to a different airport than the...

I reserved a 4-hour block, but it was the last flight of the day, so I returned the plane past the end of the block. I did not do a very long preflight with power on. My passengers did have headsets issue before taxi at our home airport, but I think it only added at most an extra 10 minutes...

Thanks for all y'all's insights, gents! Yes, I did check the Hobbs before taking off. Our Hobbs time are stored on paper and electronically. Before we check the plane out, we have to verify that the starting Hobbs and tach on paper matches the record stored in the computer. I also verified it...

Yesterday, I rented out a Piper Archer and did a quick XC (83 NM [166 NM round trip]) with my friends. When I returned back to home base, I was surprised to see that the Hobbs meter indicated that I was out for 2.9 hr! The flight did not feel like 2.9 hours. After referring to FlightRadar...

I apologized if this question has been asked too many times. I did my best to interpret part 61.51 and 1.1 for verbatim definitions, but I often find them vague. Anyways, I am a private pilot that had two IFR training flights in the sim last week, specifically in the Redbird SD (an AATD). I...
