    After years of screwing with every other coffee contraption, I cold brew coffee, then heat it if I want hot coffee. It's so easy.

    Model Rocket Launch NOTAM

    I'd cancel flight following, do some low passes and check it out.

    I can't believe I spun a Cessna 172 twice! Now I'm checkride shy.

    Okay, I re-read your post and I was fixating on the spin and not the fact that you were able to do power on stalls again. Put in as many hours as you can the week before the check ride. 100 hours may seem like a lot but the number of hours in the past 30 or so days is more important. It wasn't...

    I thought they used ground photos and machine vision?

    I can't believe I spun a Cessna 172 twice! Now I'm checkride shy.

    You, or at least your CFI should be able to tell what is going wrong in your stall recovery to enter the incipient phase of a spin. If you can't fly often, you can practice stall and spin recovery in any chair, for free. It sounds like you're holding back pressure, and possibly leaving throttle...

    Trolls

    I was close to trolling the hell out of this forum. I took a year off instead. If people want to blow up over something I post, that's good enough for me. No trolling needed.

    Wearing shoes in the house

    I was selling an ottoman that was a few months old, because I decided I wanted a coffee table instead. A couple that came to look at it sat on my couch and put their feet on the ottoman, with their shoes on. They did not buy it.

    Short trip in an unfamiliar area yes. Short trip where most of my hours accumulated, nope.

    Any experts in X-plane?

    That stinks, I guess it's not very popular (yet?). I can try making a 3D cockpit and test it in VR. I'm on the road for a couple more weeks then back home where all that fun stuff lives :)

    Ground instructor, denied medical

    Ground instructor, denied medical

    There is if you want to sign the person off to take the written. Or maybe issue the temp cert. Okay it has been at least a year since I spoke with him so maybe things have changed.

    Ground instructor, denied medical

    Sounds like the Dr Bruce thing was miscommunication. I know someone that has been making a killing as a BGI doing part 107 training. No medical, no pilot certs or universities.

    MSF as an aid in learning to fly

    Microsoft Flight Simulator, mixed up two letters apparently. My home sim taught me nothing but bad habits. My first CFI didn't care that I had a flight sim, nor that I flew model airplanes. It didn't take long for me to figure out why. Also, non-commercial flight sim physics are horrible. I...

    Am I doing something wrong? How long to view an anonymous post?

    I would guess that it has to be reviewed, or there would be a ton of spam.
