I can picture it Huckster79 - Thanks for the image :) I’m sure I just came off as task saturated lol. If they had heard my kids on the intercom they would have understood. No mics for them next time if they can’t figure it out. Plus all the other stuff above. I think I’ve decided I won’t...

Thanks for that. Wasn’t easy but I’m glad I did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was a bit of a mess. They pulled in as I was sitting in the middle between hangers - hadn't started up yet. They didn't push back for a couple minutes so I waited. Then as I was about to start up, the fuel truck came, so I got out to ask them if they minded if I try to taxi by. They didn't...

ATC was pretty dang accommodating. When I asked about G, I almost wish they hadn’t been [emoji1787] After learning at Sparta, I was *pretty* prepared for 26R/08L, but I didn’t realize how much more complicated taxiing around to other places would be. Glad I’m not completely alone? Sent from...

Yeah - once I got there. I turned left to take the runway and they had me turn around on the ground. I felt very hand-held and both grateful and stupid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why did I ask about G you ask? Because it comes after F in the alphabet and was worried I’d missed my turn. Because i didn’t look at the chart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First clearance was for F to D to B, but I asked about G and they changed it to F to G to B. So i taxied down B most of the way, where the taxiway is wide enough to land a fleet of F16s. I was in the North T hangers and 26R was closed. I’m new to the field (just got into a club) and wasn’t...

Yeah - part of the play by play I spared you all. I did request progressive (after my first intersection that I didn’t know what to do about…) and they happily accommodated. I needed to go straight for a while and didn’t realize it was so far, so I kept stopping to read signs. In reviewing the...

I doubt it. What would you have done? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

100% Larry. You're absolutely right.

I hate admitting failures, but I have learned so much from reading about others' failures, it is only fair that I share this one. "a couple of nights ago" (vague so you don't look up the LiveATC audio hahaha!), I was departing our class charlie field with two of my kids in our club 172. Our...

I'm asking about the bits under your username. Everyone starts out "Pre-Flight" but I've seen "Enroute", "Line Up and Wait", "Final Approach" and others. I've seen some pretty custom ones too. Just asking because I couldn't find anything on it. Tnx

It didn’t even look THAT hard [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FlyingMonkey I’m a new PPL with a wife who is pretty uncomfortable in small planes. Your videos (and Jason’s - what a slick idea!) have been just incredible to watch. There were points in both of your videos that brought literal tears to my eyes. Thanks to you and Poppins for sharing that...

Way to go!! And welcome to the league of temporary airmen [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it crazy to think in-air loose formations are relatively safe? Maintain visibility, and break off in the right directions if not? (Obviously that all happens in the brief, no?) Takeoff doesn’t sound too risky either, with a wide enough runway for no overlap. Did you mean for your second...

What are the best ways to train for formation ops? This seems, on the surface, like something two pilots could brief and execute without a ton of training but I’m sure, well… I’m sure I’m wrong [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great advice. Thank you sir! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
