    I’ll be happy when I get to the point where I can say the same thing!

    Taildraggers

    I’m working on my tailwheel endorsement in a champ (Instructor said I’m proficient as of my last lesson but I need another 1.5 hours before I can solo the club plane for insurance). I actually thought the pavement landings (winds were 10G15 @ 45 degrees ) were easier than grass with a giant...

    NTSB Blames Instructor Only???

    Especially since the “student” was here for mountain type training. It’s seemingly an area of operation he was relying on the CFI’s expertise for. If they ran out of gas I would certainly argue for shared blame between the two.

    Takeoff Performance Spreadsheet instead of Graph

    I used to do a lot of digitizing of charts to tables at my last job. We used an internal program to do it but this free one looks like it might do the trick. https://sourceforge.net/projects/plotdigitizer/ Once you get the raw data you can generate polynomial equations for the curves and use...

    Do You Tip When Getting Carry-Out?

    If its a sit down restaurant where they would normally bring you your food and refill your drinks then I usually add a few bucks for take out orders. I figure someone that normally gets tips may be spending some time getting some of that stuff ready.

    what’s in your arsenal?

    I took up scuba diving and found a ton of guns underwater. I added them all to my collection but as fate would have it I lost them all in a boating accident and could never find them again.

    For Sale: Club Membership Comanche 260B non-equity partnership Atlanta, Ga

    I keep seeing partnerships out of PDK and keep wishing I had not moved out of Atlanta! Does this one have 4 or 6 seats?

    You are responsible for your training

    I was really fortunate to get a good instructor from the start and only started experiencing bad ones when I started working on my instrument rating. My initial primary instructor was a Harvard educated lawyer that worked for Delta and decided he was tired of looking at contracts all day and...

    Swahili Instruction Manual

    I can’t speak anything to that specific product, but I’ve been really impressed with my UniFi home network and the ease of managing and setting it up.

    Tell your congressman to make registration data private

    I don’t disagree with your points that there is “private” info like credit card info that can be hacked and it’s not longer private. Can you agree that there IS a difference between data that anyone with a computer can easily access vs data that you have to find on the dark web that is...

    Tell your congressman to make registration data private

    Great Point! We should stop complaining about open ADSB data. Also I missed the linked website where I can freely go and track others based on Onstar, google maps, Amazon, and credit card usage. I’m pretty excited about to get my hands on that freely available public info!

    How to easily put multiple PDFs in Books App

    The best solution may be to try to use iCloud, but I’ve never used it to store or transfer anything before.

    How to easily put multiple PDFs in Books App

    Ideally I’d be able to email myself a zip of PDFs and import them all to a folder/collection in books, but I haven’t seen a way to do that. In the past I’ve put files on individual after opening from email, but I’ve got a bunch of work reference PDFs I’d like to have on the iPad. I don’t have...

    What is you total time to # of landing ratio?

    That explanation is too logical!

    What is you total time to # of landing ratio?

    25 landings for every hour, or 25 hours for every landing?? Both seem o_O Maybe you meant 1.25?

    Crazy.. SR22 down NC, both survived

    I think Cirrus pilots have an extra column to log Chute Pulls.

    GPS Lite?? What3words

    I think it would be fairly easy to develop something similar that is open source. I’d say the barrier to entry is fairly low.

    GPS Lite?? What3words

    To be fair, I just posted the location of a random hotel I was staying at. If you know someone’s name and general location it’s typically pretty easy to find their address, especially if they are a homeowner.
