How about this. No “ribbing”. Do your job. Male or female. Depending where you are in the food chain expect the appropriate training to help you succeed. Is that difficult?

How will the insurance company see this? “Oh man, that was stupid. It’s your airplane now.” Kinda like that?

Can’t imagine using even 4000’ of the runway … the plane not ready to fly … and continuing the roll. (if that information is correct) I’ve rejected one takeoff roll after a bug got lodged in the pitot tube. Always be prepared for it.

Our club used to allow primary training in our Tiger but decided to rescind that because of the extra wear and tear the nose gear was getting. Not answering your question but just observing that it might be really difficult to find one to rent for primary training. Buy your own if you can. You...

I recommend NOT taking her Type A father along if he asks. Sounds like my father; a retired commercial pilot. He tried to start an argument with me when I was lined up and had just advanced the throttle about setting the DG more accurately as plate values are given in tenths of degrees. How...

Well, if you were going the other way you would still be going the same way, but facing the other way. Super cool pics!
