Rod Machado has some online course all about weather. Might be worth a look...

In the market to buy a Bad Elf GPS. I see they have the Pro and the dongle type that connects to the lightning port on the iPad. Anyone have used the dongle one? Does it work well in the cockpit... ?

Add to this - Venture North has a DPE on hand. So that is a plus. The other place I found was in Sioux Falls, SD. Rather just outside of SF in the city of Tea. Same, they have a DPE on hand.

No clue. Have not talked to them since my call in October.... Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Clean 1979 Piper Warrior II. I purchased a share in this club with the intention of wrapping up my commercial and CFI. I am about to finish up my commercial but will probably hold off on my CFI for now. Too many activities and not enough time to fly. Also, I am based out of KDTL for now and...

Piper Seneca

Around the 200 mark in KBRD. Is a Citabria. I believe there is an option in KFAR for around 230, IIRC.

Bird was N56KJ. https://www.eastidahonews.com/2019/11/idaho-falls-business-executives-among-those-killed-in-south-dakota-plane-crash/ RIP and thoughts are with the family of the victims. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

CFIs rationale - if you have an emergency, chances are you will have to land. No point doing spiral turns and not get a landing in. Usually the maneuver is started no flap, then pick landing runway, add flaps and call it good. Not sure what the DPE wants to see. CFI has had 2 other applicants...

I've done this maneuver twice. So bear with my "sloppiness,"... CFI brings me over mid-field at 2000 AGL. Says you have an engine fire and need to get down now. Pulls power, says 65 knots and no more than ,60 degrees on the bank. Once three turns are done, we land on whatever run is easily...

Isn't the purpose of the steep spiral to lose altitude quickly and descend to the field below in case of an emergency? Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Cessna 172. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Working on my commercial - and I have a new nemesis. The steep spiraling descent as part of emergency maneuvers during a simulated engine fire. A question for the CFIs - what speeds and angles do you teach this maneuver at? My current CFI has me do 65 kts KIAS and almost to a 60 degree bank -...

Sorry, just saw this. I am not sure if they have a bird. KBRD might be an option. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

They are on my list of places as a fallback at this time. I called them - and reading between the lines - Riggin was/is in trouble with the FAA. They said "we have a DPE, but he can only conduct Private Pilot Checkrides. We'll have to find another DPE to do the commercial ASEL stuff." I could...

A friend owns one. Been up in it a few times. Love it. He has his recently redone at the place (former manufacturer) in KAXN. Haven't seen it since.. But 160 kts is easily achievable. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

The instructor I used for my instrument rating took this route. Assuming he got his ratings just before 9/11/2001, from what I could read between the lines. He ran accelerated instrument trainings and really enjoyed that. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Stopped by the airport on my way home. There was a bird landing 31, so guessing they are open... For now. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Yup. KDTL is still open and usually is all year round. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Based in KDTL. Lessons out of KBRD when I can..
