The airplane will climb faster, but otherwise everything else will feel the same. Like others said for me I thought " crap... I now don't have anyone to prevent me from screwing up " but right after that I thought " I've done this so many times... Just do like you practiced and you'll be fine".

Arriving Friday 28th. Planning to be at GAC N or S. I don't know which aircraft yet (you know... renter life) :)

The only time I filed a VFR flight plan I forgot to close it... :-) then I got a nice call from the FSS asking if I was ok.

I know... Lol... But was looking for good airports to overnight at on that magenta line from dfw

Any tips from someone coming from North Texas?

Now I'm looking everyday at how the weather is amd, so far, there's a big blob of yellow and red on the way there.... I gotta get the weather avoidance skills up to par! :)

In my case I passed the oral but failed a few maneuvers. So, if I transfer to another DPE, I still get credit for what I passed and won't have to redo those right?

That's my understanding as well. Thanks.

So, I have a retest that's scheduled 1 day before the 60-day window. What are my options if the weather or plane craps out? Would I have to redo the whole test again instead of only the maneuver I missed? Is this transferable to another DPE that has better availability?

I'm based in the DFW area and I have tried multiple times to fly SWA. Every time I look at prices (biz and personal) they are usually higher than any legacy. And flying with family with random seats is a no-go for me.

If I file a complicated route I get direct to destination before reaching cruise. If I file direct, I get a complicated route.... :D

That's exactly how I do it. I'm not sure it's the best way but at least I know both tanks and the selector valve work.

Great pictures as always. And wow, a great paint scheme!!

Do we know what kind of avionics was installed in the plane? Maybe he had a six-pack and an unreliable AI. That, couple with lack of currency/practice flying under the hood and no instrument rating can lead to bad consequences.

As a PPL you can't be reimbursed for all the expenses, you have to pay your pro-rata share of it

I'll be there!

This is a great list! Thanks for posting. This should be pinned!

Lol!

Thanks for the thread! I got the Coleman's sundome, which a few people said they were good. A lot of references for Alaskan Guide ..

I'm going to test the tent I bought next weekend and pour water on it to see if it leaks or not
