I may rejoin Pilot Edge and work on my instrument communication and skills. It’s a live person and simulation so it’s helpful. I may try these approaches as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You call these spare ribs Mr. Eagle? I want my freak’n money back!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your experience is fairly normal and with only 4 hours I wouldn’t expect you to feel very different. It’s not a race. Just keep learning and getting acquainted with all the sensations. It’s a 3D world in the plane which is different than anything else you’ve done. Also I recently had CFI do a...

I know nothing of your work experience and environment but since this is an aviation group maybe taking from some of the dangerous attitudes that can affect pilots: get their itis(maybe get it done itis); resignation; machismo; over confidence or complacency - especially with repetitive tasks...

Excellent videos. Really enjoy the aviation analysis and the behind the scenes music looks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bass player. Was in band for past 4 years. Thinking about finding a new gig but aviation takes up a lot of time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not even sure how this possible. It goes L-R START. Not sure how it could be in left mag only and then in start? Makes no sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone learn anything about this. I met the pilot many many years ago when I was getting my ppl. Sad https://www.whsv.com/content/news/Police-Small-airplane-goes-down-in-northern-West-Virginia-567332251.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe NTSB said that FAA didn’t follow their prior recommendation to require it in helicopters. Still seemed like an unfair comment to make at this juncture Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well if it was easy everyone would do it. It’s a lot of work to earn your IFR ticket. Like others have said the acronyms will become easier as you spend more time flying and understanding the system. Rote memorization is never good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Velcro!!! Lots of Velcro Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love the BSV. Amazing plane with lots of performance. I couldn’t buy one because I had no hanger space available anywhere near me to house it. They are a bit snug. But they are fast and handle great. You ABSOLUTELY need a prebuy done by one of the 4 BSV experts. I ended up with Comanche 250...

What a dope comment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The most knowledgeable BSV guy on east coast is Dave Pasquale in Pottstown, PA. He’s one of four gurus in the country on these planes. He’s great guy to talk too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry gang. I like my stuff - I wish I had more of it! I want a bigger plane and a super hanger all tricked out. A home in Italy for the winter and plenty of time to zip around with my friends and family in my plane. But alas...I dream. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the amazing things about being a pilot is you will learn/experience something new all the time. Weather, avionics, navigation, fuel, airspace, equipment malfunction, etc. The more you fly the more experience you get. Now you have experience with ATC that didn’t seem right and next time...

There is an ODP for rw 30. That’s what it shows in the TPP publication.Interesting question. I would probably advise ATC you’ll fly the ODP until radar contact AND on an established portion of IFR Route. Radar contact is not sufficient to ensure obstacle clearance: AIM 5-2-8, “When used by the...

Fortunately I had my brother (CFII) with me - and a previous Comanche owner - so I slowed the plan below 100 mph and stayed near airport why he went through checklist. We could see the lever was partway up so we knew the gear was part way up. We elected to fly to airport where mechanic was and...

Just to be clear...I’m not guessing. I did mention the mechanic will be looking at it. There are many things that could have caused this issue - I just mentioned motor as something that “may” be in my future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello Gang. I’m still working on my initial training with my ‘62 250. My brother (CFI) went up today with me and I worked in the pattern getting some x-wind landings in. On 5th approach we practiced a go-around and notice climb seemed a bit slow. I Looked down and noticed amber light (gear up)...
