Kinda looks like an old NDB plate without the NDB

Yeah, I've had this happen where I was planning on departing VFR, called up CD to get my taxi clearance and they began reading off my IFR clearance with an unexpected SID and then a route alteration. I was not ready to copy lol, left me pretty flustered. Lesson learned, tell CD/Ground what my...

You can CFI under BasicMed if that's a worry. My AME charges the same rate for 2nd and 3rd class medicals.

I get a new paper one every so often or if I have a checkride. Other than that, I just update for free on my EFB.

This is true, primacy is a very real thing in learning this stuff.

Yep, I wont lie, it's a tempting upgrade. I have the Thurstmaster HOTAS as well for playing Star Wars Squadrons (thinking of VR for that alone). But most of my airplane sim flying is IFR/IMC so I don't need much more than the panel other than take-off and landing.

I'm thinking about it, but knob turning and checking my ipad are tricky with that set-up.

I actually found the opposite to be true. But I also made sure when I set up my sim that I had a lot of hardware that emulated a real GA cockpit. Yes there are certain sensations that can't be replicated and the flight model has yet to really simulate the dynamics of a good slip but for the...

50/50 joint custody but since I work from home, it's really more like 70/30. As someone suggested, at this point flying big iron isn't really attainable and that's okay. It would be nice to fly right seat in something big and fast some day just to do it. As far as plane boredom, that really...

The steakhouse is really quite tasty. I flew to KHUT a few times when time building.

This is it, in a large way. I kinda don't want to admit to myself that I'm burned out on something I absolutely love and was a life-long dream to obtain. I've considered the Hutch trip quite a bit, especially now that my kids are old enough to enjoy it. (8 and 6) My older kiddo and I watched...

I'm still allowed my quota of 3 stupid questions a year. One down...

I'm pretty sure I can go up with a CFII if my Flight Review is expired, I just can't log it as PIC. Right?

Thankfully, my GF really enjoys flying with me. She's even gone up with me while I was practicing commercial maneuvers. Thinking of getting her those sectional leggings for MY birthday, lol.

Flew from KS to SD with a layer below me. When I got close to my destination had a lot of layers, false horizons, towering cumulus, embedded crap that I had to fly thru or around. It was my first time in REAL actual (not just busting fair weather clouds) without another pilot in the right seat...

I'm there. I actually blew my commercial checkride 2 years ago. My divorce started up shortly after and finding mental space for flying became really difficult at that point. I'm so damn close, had my checkride scheduled for Feb and then I got COVID. Now my written has expired and I just can't...

I've got about 350 hours under my belt, prior to divorce and Covid I was on the track to going after my commercial, CFI and then working towards my ATP so I could maybe do some big boy flying while still in my 40s. But all that has stalled. My thirst for aviation knowledge has waned, my...

have you figured out how to update the DB?

Yes, but all under the same configuration. Would be really nice to figure out best glide with the gear out but it seems 80KIAS is where it's happiest flying power off 180s.

You're absolutely right, under the amplified procedures for Engine Failure. Thank you!
