Definitely see this now, though in the moment it seemed like it was my clearance. Won't be making this mistake again!

This afternoon, I was headed back to Addison and had made my initial call to regional approach, who gave me a heading and altitude (3,000) to fly. This was the bottom of the Class B shelf. I was about 3 miles from the point where the Bravo shelf starts at 2,000 when she handed me off to...

Distance, though near vision has also been slipping. As others have said, things could be much worse. Even now, I can still function without glasses (beach, pool, etc.) where I couldn't before. Definitely First World Pilot Problems!

Well, after getting LASIK done 15 years ago at the age of 30, my vision has finally slipped enough to get the Corrective Lenses limitation when I renewed my medical yesterday. Not that I've felt comfortable flying without glasses for a few years now, but at least I could live in denial about...

I also used, and liked, the ASA Jiffyhood. I forgot it once during my training and was sentenced to foggles as a punishment. Never forgot the Jiffyhood again!

Ends up it's a clerical error. My wife recognized the last name as a new family down the street. Our street number ends in 12, theirs in 21. Now I get all the junk mail. Great. I will put a call into the county, though, as this will probably cause some of issue whenever we decide to sell.

Well, probably not, but we just got back from a weekend trip to a bunch of junk mail, addressed to someone we don't know, for various mortgage protection services, security services, etc. The usual stuff you get when you buy a new home. But... we've lived here for over 15 years and have never...

Switched to an Oral-B from a Sonicare earlier this year and am planning on switching back very soon. Like the Sonicare MUCH better.

Sorry I couldn't make it today. With the 1st Saturday in September being Labor Day weekend, I doubt I'll be able to make that, as well. I will definitely shoot for 3rd Saturday next month.

Thanks for the link to that letter. It is dated June of this year, which would explain still needing the 3 readings in March. I'll just take a copy of it with me.

About that time to do my 3rd Class Medical again, and I have a few questions: 1) I'm on hypertension medication and had to send a simple form to the FAA last time showing several days of BP readings and signed by my doctor. No big deal, and I never heard another thing. Will this have to be...

Sounds great. We'll try to be off the ground in Addison by 7:15 or so. Looking forward to it.

I think I'm in. Need to get in the air, and my daughter and I were looking for somewhere to fly. Coming from Addison.

Congrats!!!!

Congrats.

I recently finished an instrument rating in a traditional cockpit, but am finding rental options limited, as I'm seeing a lot of G1000 out there. I initially did steam on the recommendation from people saying that it would be more difficult to transition back to steam from G1000. What about...

Having just done an instrument checkride, I was thinking about your very question recently. With very little prep time with an instructor, yes, I think most private pilots would pass that checkride. With no prep time, I'm sure I would bust on some PTS that I didn't remember or had changed. I...

I appreciate that, along with all of the other kind words. It's funny, I was so excited to get my Private so that I could take friends/family up. Now, I'm excited that I get to continue training with a few different CFIs, but not have to worry about a checkride. I can just focus on what I...

Or, at least, not failed! Overall, it wasn't nearly as bad a checkride as I've heard about, and to be honest, I really feel that the DPE worked very hard to make sure that I passed. Not in a bad way, but I think he could have justifiably failed me if we wanted to. After the paperwork, the...

Congrats. My suggestion is to start building PIC Cross-Country time. You'll need a total of 50 hours.
