I think you forget it and move on. They gave you the refund (minus 6%). Could be worse. Go interview a couple CFI’s and pick the one you gel with. My first CFI, 20 years ago was a crusty old dude. I didn’t hit it off with him and quit after around 20 hours. Got back to it in March and on a...

I’m happy with my DC Pro-X. Very lightweight and comfy with good ANR.

I’m just a 20hr student, but that last 300’ didn’t look right to me...

Even with the bad audio, it’s clear ATC did not give him clearance to cross. Harrison doesn’t sound sharp at all. Kinda sad. He’s f’ing Han Solo after all!

I enjoyed your vid flying from Camarillo to Van Nuys. Liked your honesty when mentioning your initial sense of dread when going into clouds. Gives us new students hope!!

Man, those Velocity airplanes are amazing. Other than having to get over trusting the idea that one was built by a guy (or gal) in their garage, what are the downsides? Smaller useable load? You don’t see them very often.

Been watching a few of their vids. Really informative stuff.

Haha, I think I know who you are referring to. There’s one guy that seems to work early afternoon shifts that talks super fast and is hard to understand. The other guys and gals are really good, friendly and easy to understand. KLVK is a training center for controllers. Sometimes you can tell....

Thanks. Yep, I am training out of Livermore. Masks are required when entering the facility but training is ongoing. I can imagine learning at KOAK must be an "in at the deep end" experience with lots going on. You probably flew right over my house as we live in Danville. With clouds at 3,500'...

Yep, I hope to never become complacent while in the air. Right now, I've no time to be so as at this early stage I'm still working on not getting task saturated and staying ahead of the airplane. Oh, and no quiero Taco Bell!

48yrs old. Flying for enjoyment, not a career. Yes, I very much like flying with my CFI. Just felt a little weird being solo (my first solo last week was closed traffic, practicing TOALs). Just looking forward to the point of becoming comfortable, while keeping my situational awareness where it...

Did my second solo today. Flew about 20 miles east of KLVK to the practice area to work on S-Turns and turns around a point. Felt uneasy not having the CFI in the right seat. It was an uneventful hour but my focus was not as good as when I have my CFI in the airplane. I’m guessing that will pass...

He was in over his head way before the clouds. He asked for the Jennings info 3 times. Had the wife messing with the Garmin who had no idea what she was doing. Am only 14 hours in to my PPL training but even I could see how this devolved. That controller was awesome though. Super helpful and...

Agree 100%. FM, you have a fantastic airplane kitted out to your specs and you and your family are having a blast flying it. Who cares how much you spent. It’s your money, not theirs.

Los Angeles for the last 25 years. We just moved to the Bay Area last summer. Doing my PPL out of KLVK.

What did you score on the H&C section??

Very cool! Love the Eagles tribute. I play in an 80’s rock tribute band so can relate. Those were some low approaches too! Nicely done.

Did a half hour under the foggles today. Flew an RNAV/GPS/ILS approach from 20 miles out. My CFI told me to take the foggles off at 200’ AGL about 300 yards shy of the runway. All I have to say is I have a whole new level of respect for you IR pilots!

Subbed to your channel. Nice camera work and the Sedona vid was awesome.

Yeah, what’s the bill for that?
