I guess they don't like to see planes at boat ramps then. :loco::wink2:

Blacks are blacks. Whites are whites. It's a color. I'm white. I haven't interviewed anyone regarding the following comment but I read somewhere that whites have a hard time talking about blacks especially with their kids. And I guess that just makes it more difficult to deal with the rest of...

That answers it perfectly. Although what happened that day is we went randomly from airport to airport so NOTAMS were not noted in advance for at least me. I thought the smoke pattern nearby was a pretty good indicator at this lonely air field but I had to fly around it 2 times to see the socks...

What's an overhead entry to downwind? Is it just entering the downwind from midfield? Does anyone know of some drawings that shows the various entries coming from different directions? There's a lot to think about like a/c departing crosswind and knowing which traffic pattern is used and...

I've been wondering a couple of things about flying to an airport. If navigation leads you to the center of the airport do you then fly over midfield at 1000' to get into the pattern or do you maneuver right before the airport to get in the pattern? Second question, if you want to observe the...

Well, that's good to know and probably not something the CFI would have agreed with. His issue was to minimize the side load and I completely understand that. But the rare crosswinds I've dealt with wer never more than maybe 5kts with the previous CFI and my landings were fine....now they're not...

Thanks. Just venting frustration. After almost 70 hours and having a new CFI working me out for 6 ground hours in the past week in preparation for a checkride I'm getting worn out.

If the plane touches down at normal landing speed in a 5kt crosswind is it not a crosswind landing if both tires touch at the same time and the longitudinal access is on the center line at landing? I was wondering because today with a direct crosswind I had to make one tire touch first to make...

I don't recall if tower said to turn or not. I wish I could remember that. Being green at a controlled airport doing my solo there I was just doing what either I was told by the tower or trying to keep my spacing from the Gobosh. I could tell I was catching up to him but I was doing a standard...

It was just about 2/3rds of the way down a 7000' runway at KBJC.

tower said go around when I was about 100' above the runway.
