Flew a new plane yesterday and noticed the CHTs (particularly the #4 cylinder) was quite high on takeoff, tipping 425 and climbing (other cylinders about 405-410). I reduced power and monitored everything and was able to manage it all and keep it around 390-410 most of the time doing some pretty...

I’m thinking of taking the plunge to a fully digital logbook and completely disregarding the paper one. My one hold up is do I need to worry about past lesson signatures or is the fact that I have the various certificates and ratings evidence of that? The plan is to take pictures of the various...

Wondering if anyone can help me out on deciding if I should upgrade to the Zulu 3. I have the Halos right now and have been instructing for a bit, and noticed they are becoming a bit of an annoyance in the cockpit. Jumping between planes they’re a little more difficult to put on quickly, and...

Quick update for those interested. I read through some more materials and found a nice AOPA guide for the TSA flight training stuff. https://www.aopa.org/advocacy/pilots/alien-flight-training-program/aopas-guide-to-tsas-alien-flight-training-citizenship-validation-rule The below seems pretty...

I wish that were the case. The reservation says EASA PPL holder so I don’t think there’s any FAA license to speak of. I’ll hopefully know more tomorrow, but just trying to gather as much info prior so I can come prepared. Especially if the guy has to jump through hoops for the non citizenship.

So I just became an instructor and am already getting curveballs thrown at me that I’ve never considered. Right now there’s a reservation from someone from the UK who wants to get his “complex endorsement”. Assuming he is from the UK and flying there, through my limited research I don’t think...

I also recommend getting the cell version. I've now used both the mini 4 and mini 5 with the built-in GPS and have yet to have it fail or not pick up a signal. Also, at one point T-mobile offered a free 200mb per month data plan which I used with the mini 4 whenever I couldn't get wifi at the...

Passed my commercial checkride the other day (woooo) and now moving into CFI training. Up to this point I’ve been using the King written and practical prep videos as well as Sheppard Air. All is going well and I’m passing all the tests without issue, but I’m getting a littttle tired of Martha...

Went on a flight today in preparation for a checkride tomorrow. Noticed the standby attitude indicator (G1000 C172) took about 10 minutes or so to finally level. I started, did the run up, verified level on the ground, was departing the pattern and noticed it was cocked to the left in a 30* bank...
