In my piper it's BC GUMPS in the pattern. Boost pump, carb heat...

Not a good match, it's a blessing to move on. That said, you indicated he "yelled" at you many times. I'm in my late thirties and am astounded at when is considered yelling these days. A few marginally stern words in a normal voice is considered yelling to many. I'm curious what the OP...

I had the installation in March and never bothered to applied for the rebate. I e-mail the FAA this morning and got a prompt response that I will still qualify. I was very impressed in the speed of the reply.

There has to be more the story. Like all relationships, sometimes a CFI and student just don't work out. I'm not saying it's your fault or the CFI's. Find a new CFI. Maybe talk to a few before selecting another and express your concerns and expectations. Were there any issues with the CFI...

How far are the anticipated trips/vacations?

I had a similar story with my grandpa. Great man. Lived and died with grace. WWII vet, greatest generation, all that stuff. I remember thinking that I hope I go downhill and pass with such strength and pride. I think it's a great testament to your grandfather the way you felt at his...

Looks like there was back pressure on the yoke all the way down. If the nose was lowered at the 4 second mark looks like a smooth, straight landing. Very easy to second guess. They did a great job of clearing the trees, that looked like the hard part.

I was nervous at my lack of knowledge at first, but never scared, and I certainly never thought that I'd freeze. If I thought for a second that any scenario would make me stop flying the plane I'd walk away immediately. When crap hits the fan people react differently. My instructor pounded...

Even a Cherokee 180 is within W/B with four 200 lb. occupants and 45 gallons fuel, but it won't be very comfortable.

I agree reciprocity agreements aren't uncommon. The clubs may set some limit on number of golfers a month. If you could arrange for allowing guests, not just members of the agreeing clubs, it would be beneficial. I could see several guys I know taking a foursome as a perk or corporate event...

Seems like you could maybe broker a deal with the club and a Part 135 operation. Line up transportation on both ends. Arranging access to private clubs may be the hard part.

Can the pro send out a survey with the membership newsletter? He could say they're considering trying to put together packages and inquire as to what courses would be desirable and at what cost. The access to other courses may be a bigger incentive than the time saved flying. If it's a high...

Can you fit 4 passengers and 4 sets of clubs in a Cherokee 6? I like the idea, not sure if it's economically viable.

I have a Cherokee 180 and go (1) Power; (2) Take out one notch; (3) climb until sufficient rate and speed; (4) Incrementally take out the rest. Really the same thing as a power-off stall recovery. ***All assuming I have all 3 notches of flaps, which I generally would have.

Under the old rule the winner of the coin flip won approximately 60% of the time. With the new rule it's slightly higher than 50%. I think in the regular season the road team should get the option of taking the ball in OT. The home team has the home field advantage. If the road team forces OT...

Regarding building equity, to realize the equity you need to sell the place. A potential purchaser buying the place from you will have the same problems you are having unless they are paying cash. Given the time currently on the market selling will be a big problem, and you'll likely incur a...

The Packers were like a pilot on his 5th consecutive go around.... They just couldn't touch down.

As a new pilot I appreciate the speculation. It presents to me potential hazards I may not have considered. The potential hazards or cause of an incident may not be the actual cause, but they do expand my knowledge of issues I should be paying attention to, recognizing, and most important...

Law Enforcement and Prosecutors claim the tests are beyond reproach. Defense attorneys and the accused claim they are completely inaccurate. The experts say whatever the person paying their bill wants to hear. The claim of a 50% margin of error is completely inaccurate. If that were...

I guess I assumed they had a less substantial device than a new high quality POA system. I agree they are reliable. In my neck of the woods a hand-held alco sensor is used as part of the battery of tests to establish PC. Then off to have a blood draw, or occasionally the intoxilyzer.
