    Aviation Instructor Handbook: "A beginning student reaches a point where additional practice is not only unproductive, but may even be harmful. When this point is reached, errors increase, and motivation declines. As a student gains experience, longer periods of practice are profitable." I did...

    Let the crazy begin...

    You can certainly try 1.5-2 hour lessons, but anything above that isn't going to gain you anything and could potentially be harmful to your learning potential. You are much better off doing three or four 1 - 1.5 hour lessons a week. Especially as a PPL. This is talked about in the Aviation...

    Aerodynamic term I had not heard of until now

    Yep the phugoid mode. It is a dynamic mode (dynamic stability). Learned about it in my Aerosytem Dynamics class. Phugoid Mode Short Period Mode Dutch Roll etc It's been several years now, but I remember having to calculate stability matrices, eigen vectors, etc, which I guess mathematically...

    For those who doubted, a Mini 5 is coming

    Honestly if I were in the market for a new tablet I’d get the 11” Pro. The mini 5 would be tempting if they used the actual full size of the screen.

    uAvionix skyBeacon Installed - Cherokee 140

    I wasn’t there for the install but it must have been pretty dang quick cause it was supposed to be installed Friday afternoon and when I got to the hangar it was already done. We didn’t hook up the strobe (we would have to run the wire which we may do as some point) so I bet it took him less...

    uAvionix skyBeacon Installed - Cherokee 140
