    go around on parallel runways

    I kinda expected something but didn't get a call and didn't file any form. If I had filled out a form I would have stated that it appeared the plane (a Gobosh) took about 6000 feet of an 8000 ft runway on the ground before it lef thte ground and I was watching it all the way down just...

    ceilings are AGL or MSL?

    thanks....the reasoning behind that makes sense.

    go around on parallel runways

    nope and that's good to know that the tower could have (should have) offered some assistance. The plane in front had been slow all the way around the pattern even though the tower told me to extend my downwind and I complied.

    go around on parallel runways

    not sure about turning crosswind but the left taxiway is frequently used for helicopter ops and I don't think I had that memory bank opened to recall that at the time.

    ceilings are AGL or MSL?

    I know I read this somewhere but I was asked and couldn't remember for sure knowing I had read something about this. My current understanding...METAR is AGL and so is TAF. But I know I read something else as an exception but I can't find it....yet. Maybe I just found it. It's always AGL for...

    go around on parallel runways

    I don't know if I did it right but I've been wondering. I was on the left and the landing plane was slow on their touch n go so I had to go around. I practically caught up to it on the go around at the end of the runway. They went left and I tried to stay slightly right. It just seemed like a...

    Checkride question as well.

    Is there some evidence that asking a student pilot about canteloupes going to make the pilot distracted? I don't get it. I haven't found a distraction that makes me quit flying. Was there some pilot that crashed because they wanted to see the geese flying off the lake and then crashed their...

    Checkride question as well.

    He might be annoying me that's true. If I have a passenger in the plane and he's trying to simulate that.....it sure would be nice if it were in a "situational" type of presentation. I have no idea if this new CFI I'm flying with is actually wanting me to express my knowledge of clouds or he's...

    Checkride question as well.

    I think training in a more real environment would be better than the CFI saying, "let's do a soft field landing." I've only landed once on a soft field and I don't have that same feeling when I do it on concrete. Maybe it's not critical that I get the feeling of being on grass or dirt or the...

    Watching the iPad 3 Debut?

    Did the same...skipped the ipad2 and finally got out of the apple store. Also added in the Apple TV. Roku's are awesome but I'm interested in the mirroring of the ipad.

    Watching the iPad 3 Debut?

    can the 3G version of ipad2 get inflight weather? I'm planning on getting the 4G but never tried getting weather on my iphone and only have the first ipad in wifi.

    convert iphone headset to aviation use

    I did find this... http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Lifestyle-Outfitters-Headphone-Splitter/dp/B0015ZDT5C/ref=dp_return_1?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics The microphone portion is passed through the splitter. Now to get the proper cable to go from 1/8 to the plane's mic jack. Argh!

    convert iphone headset to aviation use

    I'm not really any closer to the answer except it seems like there should be an intercom box whereby you plug your cheapo ipod/iphone/whatever headset in and the intercom box has the right outputs for the plane's intercom jacks. The mic part is what I'm really trying to figure out. The...

    convert iphone headset to aviation use

    I got this able planet ANR headset that has a microphone which works in the iPhone for phone calls. The headset came with an 1/4 inch adapter so I think it will work in the plane's intercom for sound but I'd like to be able to use the microphone that's on the headset too. This would be for my...
