Can’t wait to see if @mscard88 likes Lynne more or hates the music more.

You can definitely do them with just a 90 degree point, but assuming you want to use 45, 90 and 135 references... just re-use the same points (since the second half of the maneuver is done in the opposite direction). For instance, if you start to the left you'll have reference points at 45, 90...

My "bid" was purposely the highest. If Tony will do it for $400/day, then I'm guessing my $100/4x as many days ends up costing more because the "expenses" part would include hotels, meals, etc. I'm trying to bring the cost UP, not down.

I'll do it for $100/day plus expenses, but it'll take me 4x longer than @tonycondon because I'll go sightseeing with it along the way. ;)

Easiest way I’ve found to memorize the VFR cloud clearance and visibility requirements: Took me 6 mins to watch the video and another 10 or so minutes practicing recreating it... and it’s stuck with me for over a year now. Note: When I draw it, I change the upper left to “Below 10,000”...

Missed 5? Or got 7 more right than you needed to? [emoji6] Nice work!

My thoughts exactly. I flew with a friend the other day who had never performed as safety pilot before. We had a short discussion about expectations and then, throughout the flight, had a few “Oh yeah, and...” Having something like this would’ve allowed all of those things to be discussed...

That’s a great video. I love watching first solo videos because it brings me right back to the day of mine. Those landings were much better than mine and there was a lot less bawling on his than than mine after the taxi off on the last one. [emoji6]

Dear iPhone, I can’t remember the last time I purposely typed “duck” or “ducking” in a text. Love, Marty

That’s how I finally learned.

You mean your Johnson bar, right? :eek2:

Truer words have never been spoken... err... typed.

:rofl:

Wow, good catch! It looked good most of the way down final (I do think I'm seeing some gusts in there) but just short of the threshold it does pick up a bit.

ASF has a Flight Risk Evaluator: https://flash.aopa.org/asf/flightrisk/ But it looks like it’s in Flash, so may not work properly in modern browsers.

He had the extended centerlines on the 750. I've heard various arguments for/against non-rated pilots using instrument procedures as backup for for situational awareness. I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, but that was definitely not the time to introduce the approach plate for...

Not a bad idea, but he's not instrument rated. IMO, there was no need to add to his already high personal workload by trying to give a crash course on instrument approaches. Especially since he seemed to be handling the situation without any issues. (Though this flight was an additional...

No icing capability, but plenty of ceiling to work with for MVA and the like. I think we guesstimated the overcast layer to be about 7000' AGL. Also, as stated in the video, his "outs" were airports along the way that were still legal VFR. I just figured if things got too bad for him, we...

We talked about that after the flight. This wasn't an instructional flight, just a guy giving his buddy a (free!) plane ride to/from lunch. But you can see me leaning to the right in the first landing. I'm trying to nudge us that way... that works, right? ;-)

I fly approaches at 65 kts with those flap settings in a 172, so 70 didn't seem too far out of line to me (I don't recall the winds, but 70 is probably the minimum I'd do with any kind of gust factor). I've flow with and talked to guys who fly final at 80-90 kts. If that was the case here, I...
