I saw my DEP on there and he had 1 review and in a nutshell said don't go to him, steer clear. I'm guessing the person failed their checkride. So why wouldn't you write a bad review and blame someone else for your deficiencies... it's the 21st century after all! This particular DPE is known...

Haha, fair questions.... Both... Plenty of frogs around though, guess I'll have to keep an eye out!

The places I've fueled here in Florida, it has been 100% without.

It's just a bonus... I didn't buy it for the ADHARS or the CO, just bonuses I guess? Or not?! Works well for what it was intended - ADSB-in and some weather. I like the sound of the Coexperts @iflyatiger, I'll have to look into that.

Not $200, but if you need ADS-B in, the Sentry works quite well with Foreflight/iPad. Just the other day, I was getting checked out in a Cherokee Six with a CFI and I threw my iPad in the plane with the Sentry suction cupped to the rear window. I had the CFI just hold on to the iPad and if...

WOW! She's beautiful!!!

I guess I could have stated that too, but I suspect the discussion above would have been the same regardless. Although I have taken some things away from the discussion - it's been good reading for sure. In our situation, the 700'/800' turn backs were with a left crosswind at about 3kt (10kt...

Only a hair over 100 tickets left!!

3100 sold as of now... plus a few from me.... Thanks for sharing the link OP!

100%... and being I'm in the market trying to find a Cherokee 6, your message is even louder and clearer! I've been trying to get some time in the left seat of a Six the past few weeks and most definitely you wouldn't be doing anything remotely close to that in the Six... drops like a rock!

Well, there's the Honda 1000RR, then there's the S1000RR (BMW). I've ridden both, tracked the latter a little. The S1000RR was what my username was in reference too and it is a beast but a friendly one with all the nannies they come with nowadays. I use to race quite a bit, won a #1 plate at...

K9, I really like your last post in that what you teach is to prepare the student, not just the "canned" instruction minimums. I want to be very clear to others reading this, in no way was this exercise intended to teach the impossible turn and instruct upon it's intricacies, that's absolutely...

This takeaway is VERY important, and a great point Ryan! I found that it was stressful in it of itself knowing it was coming. One of the things I did like about it was the concept of just making the field - but for real. And I don't mean "the field" as in the airport field. Doing an engine...

Great article K9. For me, personally, I don't take the turn back as a discrete yes/no but determining if it's a viable option before takeoff and at what point does it become viable (or not). At 250' AGL, nope. At 700', yikes... something more, maybe? What other circumstances are there...

For sure, the exercise in general was a great one to at least make the attempt and see for my own eyes what it 'could be' like. A few good takeaways I found were, understanding the wind direction combined with surrounding terrain combined with runway/field configurations to make your turn...

Got checked out in the Club's Piper PA-28-180 today by the Club Owner/Instructor. We got lucky with no traffic in the pattern (non-towered) and he had me not only simulate an engine out on departure, but go on and make the turn and land on the runway we departed on. First time, did it at 800'...

I thought I caught em all, apparently not.

o_O:D, haha, fixed it.

^^^ what Cloudhound said. Hopefully your CFI is familiar with this DPE and has some insight or can at least ask around and find out for you. Plenty of folks that have gone through the checkride will have slightly differing ways things went. I just went through mine this past July (down in...

Wow, good catch!
