Wanna know how many CFIs have done that, none. Because it never happens. Or if it did CFIs didn’t put it out there on the internet. But I seriously doubt anyone has got into trouble.

So. They just randomly asked if you were a pilot? Would love to have see the argument that led up to that question. We’re you arguing about weather, runway conditions, mechanical issues? Did you have your aviator sunglasses and private pilot hat on?

Come on, you know most of these precious little 20 something’s aren’t looking to get grease on their hands. They would rather work at Starbucks and complain about greedy corporations.

Study! I would send students home with a small 10 - 20 question test to do open book. I expect you to actually use the FAA books for the answers, not just google the answer. We would then go over them and discuss anything. I can tell when the student would just google the question for the...

whoever installed it should be fixing it.

When it comes to training and proficiency, always make it harder then it needs to be. Me and the guys I fly with test each other all the time, fail as mush as possible under the hood. Why keep it boring and routine.

Fail both G5. They have TC, AS, VSI, and Compass.

The kid was speeding, can you say you never drove above the speed limit?

You think, but what does your CFI say?

I was tracking my students IFR checkride, and saw the exact moment he busted by turning way too early in the hold.

Weight limit is always an issue with 152. I way 205 - 210. With full fuel I have to have a student less than 145 lbs.

But CFIs need to go beyond the ACS, throw that plane into a 30 degree bank, pull up and stall that plane. I would say a large majority do not. They teach the straight and level nice and safe stall.

Any CFI can and should teach accelerated stalls. Just because it’s not part of the ACS doesn’t mean it can’t be covered. As a CFI the ACS is just the baseline of what I teach, I usually go way beyond the ACS into real world scenarios.

That can easily be 2 to 3 hours each way on the ground depending on traffic.

Have you found anything to say it isn’t loggable, or that the approach must be from the left seat? Probably not. It is legal and loggable.

My thoughts exactly. Let’s find an airport 51 miles away to do a x country. Where as find one 125 miles away, you meet the miles requirement. And you are still logged the time as x country. One flight instead of two.

If you want distance to Brooklyn, JFK is best, also have to consider the fees. Depending on the time of day it can take more than an hour to get to Brooklyn from FRG, Linden could be a better option, but getting to Brooklyn can take a while as well.

Long Island aviators our of FRG, they have archers, Cessna.

Cant live in fear, death is on all our tails when we get in a plane.

I honestly wonder how many ASRS reports have busted airspace or did xyz due to paying too much attention to foreflight, ipad.
