If there are other instructors in your area, fire your current instructor. It sounds like he doesn't have the teaching skills or patience to deal with a frustrated student. He has to adapt to your learning style, not you to his teaching style. I'm also a student pilot and had a good former...

It does work as advertised. I turn that feature off, however, because my Stratus already records automatically. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Isn't Foreflight recording automatic now with the latest version, if enabled? I inherited my checklist from my CFI and modified a few things such as adding on "turn on active noise reduction" and changing "transponder standby" on the ground to "transponder alt".

Any recommendation for a CFI for PPL training in the San Francisco Bay Area, preferrably in the South Bay or Peninsula? Thanks so much.

Asian crew don't have a monopoly on accidents like this. Air France 447 and Colgan Air 3407 pilots were not Asian. Wonder if an AoA indicator would have helped these pilots in extremely stressful situations like these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hang in there. It's normal to have a frustrating session as others have pointed out. I'm very early in training too and have had days where I can't seem to land, followed by days with really good landings. How is your CFI's teaching method? Is she aware of your frustration? I'm a bit surprised...

Digital clutter is as bad as physical clutter. I agree with your plan of keeping only a small number of photos per event, photos that bring you joy. I am an avid photographer and usually shoot hundreds of RAW images per event, but I process only about 10-20% of them. I delete the rest. That's...

I'm sorry if this is a repost, but I've recently stumbled upon a set of very well-done ground school lectures by Cyndy Hollman. Check out her video on engine systems, for example: http://youtu.be/W9ICNLsDP9E All her other videos are excellent, especially for the student pilots.

Same with my Stratus 2S. Perhaps the update is only for older models?

I've used the Stratus 2S to log my flights without any problem in the past. Excellent signal. However, during my last flight with the Stratus 2S, Foreflight 7.4.1, and wifi-only iPad mini 4, all the takeoff segments were NOT recorded. For example, I made a right Dumbarton departure from KPAO...

Haha. I was taxiing back for 2 more rounds so he texted me instead.

Thanks. I'm glad to get that unnerving pre-solo anticipation over with.

Wow. Where can you rent/operate aircraft that cheaply?

Thank you all for your support. I have been a lurker here for a long time and have really enjoyed the comradery and diverse view points here. I was trying to convey the excitement mixed with fear and self-doubt right before and during the first solo. Thanks for your comments. I'm learning...

The VASI is red-red. The airspeed has deteriorated to 60 knots. My aim point is now the parking lot of the Macy's, half a mile from the approach number. The previously mild turbulence now rocks the Warrior's wings up and down. I glance to the right seat, which is discomfortingly empty. Just a...

She's in excellent hands at Dana Farber.

How old was your sister-in-law when she was diagnosed? Has she been referred to a Genetics clinic? Alcohol overuse is not ideal of course during chemo. Encourage her to share that with her oncologist. If the current regimen doesn't work, and if she is still strong enough, encourage her to...

That's what I did: a Stratus 2S and iPad mini 4. I'm also a student pilot flying out of PAO. As I'm still pre-solo, I actually don't use Foreflight much. I use my personalized electronic checklists much more. My CFI is big on teaching the landmarks about here--boundaries of NUQ, SJC, OAK, SFO...

+1. Excellent reception with internal antenna.
