4.2 Hours from the checkbook. The flying club I joined charges by the tach hour, not the hobbs hour. I put hobbs in the logbook, and pay a different amount from the checkbook (about 65% of the hobbs time). The ones I flew in the Northwest were beautiful Cessnas, and the one I like the best...

I know... a poor man pays twice.

OK, what happened to Jeffy? Well, I moved across the country to Charleston, South Carolina, and now I need a new CFI. I have the following: Money Medical (BasicMed) Headset (and one to spare, if the CFI needs one) A Piper Tomahawk that I can schedule Motivation Afternoons free A logbook with...

The former Mrs. thequick, at the time, wasn't a model of perfect motherhood, and was concerned about our mutual children. What is sad is that the courts are set up to have "winners" and "losers", and to have one of each, each side must paint their opponent as the "worst person on earth."...

I think the G5 sensor would stand up to that kind of abuse, however, it may not stay attached. There are times when mine will be fine wrestling with an 8 year old, 9 year old, and an 11 year old, but then come off when I slide in my bed (just turning over, it gets caught in the sheets). I've...

There are BEES ON THE PLANE!!! Sorry... couldn't resist...

Lesson 5: It was a beautiful day to fly; I just wish I got to see it. Got up to altitude, the CFI called out vectors, and kept the altitude steady. Then, he said, "put these on" (glasses for Instrument Flying), and I followed his direction. This time, it was a little harder, so I need more...

It wasn't me... http://komonews.com/news/local/reports-smoking-plane-near-paine-field http://q13fox.com/2017/05/02/small-plane-crashes-in-mukilteo-injuries-unknown/ I wasn't even in aisle 6... (follow up): My daughter was surprised, as when we walk home from church, that is on the path...

OK, Lessons 3 and 4 in the books... Lesson 3: Slow flight... I should have spent more time in the sim practicing this, as I wasn't used to the mushiness of the controls. After about 15 minutes, it made sense, and we called in for a Touch and Go, and got down to the ground, rolled for a bit...

I did go on a flight with a passenger, and you're right... I was a bit nervous with her back there, but once I got up in the air, I forgot about her until she asked about warming things up back there. After she went home, I asked the CFI if we could go on our own until I was comfortable. W&B...

Oh yeah, I'll wave down when I'm on my way to Aurora... my daughter lives in Wilsonville, and I'll be visiting her and her siblings (all my older kids).

I just wonder how many peoples' flight path ends there. Yeah... I don't even look at Weather Underground predictions anymore. I am planning and flying and letting the weather at the moment determine whether we go up. My first flight lesson was scrubbed, but we sat in the airplane and went...

Hi everyone, So, I'm going to be logging my learning path on here, just so it's written down. A wall of text will follow, as I am in my "going up in the air" phase of learning... My daughter has some special needs, and my wife got her on a Challenge Air flight, and I got to go with her. I...

I'm just worried that I'll be in a position to solo and the PENDING in the Certificate Number will stop that... I'm going up 3x/week to make sure that I am learning, and not re-learning.

Is the "PENDING" one sufficient for solo? I submitted on 4/6/17, and I was wondering how long it took.

Well, I had my first 1.1 hours piloting an airplane over Lake Stevens, WA from KPAE. IT. WAS. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! A little nervous at first, went through the checklists, the CFI operated the radio, and I ran the airplane. Steered it with my feet, no problems, medium bank turns were a little...

Ground School Cost: $0 (Company paid for it. Got the books, E6B, Plotter included in the tuition) Medical Cost: $125 (Advice from Dr. Bruce on what I needed for my medical) Test Cost: $75 (Thank you to the CATS testing center that said that my endorsement was invalid. CATS gave me a break...

So, after a year and a half of waiting, and finally getting my ducks (SI Medical, ground school, passing the ground school test, saving money, joining flight club) a in a row, I was ready for my first flight on Monday. Winds at 18009G19 on runway 16, waiting for the next update. Did pre-flight...

Is that Type 2 Diabetes? I can only imagine, for a T1D, that is a bit after the fact (of a hospital visit and a diagnosis...)

Yeah, I have mine set to 70-180, and with exercising season starting up, I may bring it down to 150 on the top end. I thought I was doing badly over the holidays, but my A1c was 6.3. I love that "legal to dose" part... Judas Priest's "Breaking the law" comes to mind for me over the last few...
