Just trolling, or are you annoyed students are using your airport?

1993 I paid 55/hr for a 152 with CFI while I was making $5/hr. Now around me a dual 152 hour is close to $200/hr. My advice, follow skycatchers advice. Study your butt off, watch videos, borrow books and videos. I can tell you a box of pasta for $1.50 can last 4 days. I know about living...

Yes sir, no sir, sorry sir goes a long way. I have gotten out of tickets that way. The few I have had where the cop pulled me over for speeding, and then only wrote me for a broken headlight.

Still using BFR, because it is required every two years. And I still use student as opposed to learner, and cockpit.

Can you say I’m wrong. A Karen is specific to white women. Loud, complaining, entitled white women.

Karen stay in my vocabulary. Especially when it come to whiny white women.

The only there is “close to another aircraft” that leaves a lot of room for interpretation of what defines close.

Pay what you pay per hour for a CFI, and not chump change the school pays him. But what you would pay the school per hour.

So FBI, DEA, most other federal law enforcement. Many state and local police departments and firefighters have and age limit to be hired and and forced out to retire.

Not too long ago before the 1500 rule, airlines wouldn’t even look at you until you had 1500 and 250 multi. It was in riddle and other big name schools were sliding their pilots into jobs with less hours. And the starting pay was $15k to work at a regional.

There are plenty of CFI that teach the bare minimum. They teach only to get a checkride pass on their scorecard. That’s why I like DPEs that switch up their rides instead of doing a routine cookie cutter checkride.

Saw where a socata took off and landed just as the cowling was burning up from leaving the plugs in.

Guess you don’t a lot of pilots or people. The F bomb is as common as saying taco.

this one always gets me, and how quickly people jump to defend someone. Yelling at is a brad spectrum these days. I saw a student complain that his CFI yelled at him for not studying. Factual part of that story was the CFI said in a normal tone “This isn’t gonna work if you keep wasting my...

As a CFI I get tired of repeating the same things to the same person. So not knowing what is going on in that cockpit from both sides of the story, it’s hard to say how to fix the problem. But he does sound me when I have said for the minllionth time to add rudder, do the wing, pull back more...

Put it up on eBay for bid. It may be worth nothing, or maybe $1000.

Just another nail in the slow death of GA for working class people. It is getting to the point only the wealthy can enjoy it. And on top of that, all these towns, states, etc thing GA is a rich person hobby. So they think WTH, they can afford a 0lane, they can afford higher fees, and taxes.

These happen every day.

Perfect example of why I have students do a takeoff and landing with a tailwind, just to show how 10 kts will affect performance.

American flyers, paid one time 25 years ago. The first one is rough to get through, and then after that not much changes in the information. The is you want you find the loophole to knock it out easy.
