I provided feedback for ForeFlight to fix this but apparently to no effect.

Have you tried planning/executing cross country flights without GPS available?

Or, I could change my mind between now and the auction!

To answer your question, I do not want to and do not plan to buy it.

Ah thanks for the notice. I plan to be doing Vmc demos at that time, though.

Landing anywhere near the demonstrated crosswind component is very challenging for a student or most newer pilots. It takes a lot of practice to get good at crosswind landings. If you have 10+ knots of crosswind during your checkride for private pilot you are probably doing something wrong, in...

It sounds like you will need to go to a less busy airport for the power-off 180 so you may be able to do the other performance landings there. Soft field shouldn’t be strongly affected by extending your pattern. Short field is a bit trickier but I say focus on practicing varying lengths to...

I think the effect of humidity on density altitude is small compared to the effect of temperature, so it should hardly matter. I’ll admit, on humid days, my human performance is in the toilet, but that’s for different reasons.

I’m not sure what the point of the article was but the FAA quotes seemed appropriate. A few of the TikTok users quoted came across as ignorant although not necessarily stupid. Using this article as evidence that the news media and the public are stupid is a stretch. They might be, but not...

Looks like this has already been resolved, but I was impressed you managed to cut it so close to the 250 nm limit so I punched it into Foreflight out of curiosity. I already had it open while planning another flight of mine so it really only took a few seconds to paste it in. If the map in my...

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one but you didn't respond to my question above yet which, as it turns out, is highly relevant, so I'll refer you to it again. The hint is to read the entire requirement, not just the line you are focused on.

Isn't KRYY to KLOU 258 nm? Still qualifies though.

When I was first soloing, I needed to look away for a moment to grab and manipulate the flap controls. Now I adjust flaps while barely needing to look away at all. Not coincidentally, I'm more comfortable with touch and goes now than I was then. Depending on the airplane, I think one of the...

I've been keeping an eye on that TFR because I'm planning flights to WWD and OXB tomorrow/Monday. Apparently, if the TFR got extended I would need to file a VFR flight plan to the airports in question, then request a squawk code prior to entering the outer ring? I've never tried it.

My school didn't want us doing touch and goes solo as student pilots either. Now I always do touch and goes unless I have a specific reason not to, but at first it was a bit trickier than a normal landing so I kind of get it. You need to make the right decision about what to do with the flaps...

Interestingly your original flight would qualify under Part 141 but not Part 61. As others said, with a minor modification or two you can make it work. Did you read the requirement carefully before asking others to comment on your plan? edit: Although I was under Part 141 I chose a plan that...

No, because I never argued the opposite.

You said you disagree with me and then made a point that doesn't seem to contradict what I said.

The article does a fairly good job of pointing out that airline accidents or near misses are less likely to be caused by insufficient hours under the belts of the crew, and more likely insufficient quality of the crew's current training/proficiency. The 1500 hour rule doesn't do much to address...

Sorry I missed this until now. I was just joking, but back when I used to fly around there, it seemed like all the pilots reported their approach as being over "the balls" as shown here:
