    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    That would be awesome We also flew over some helicopters doing SAR practice runs right over the surface before we got back to the pattern from the practice area.

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    I let the regional get about a 45 behind me before I turned, I squared it off so I didn't cut the corners, and even stayed high...still got hit with it. I'm used to the wake turbulence warnings here as it's a fairly active airport, this one was just a little tighter than I care for and next time...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    First night flight last night. Air was SOOOO smooth it was unreal. Just went to the practice area, did some flying around, then back for some pattern work. Tower was someone in training (I could hear her trainer in the background, and he even jumped in a few times). Made for some interesting...

    Vikings-Saints game triggers heart attack warnings to Apple Watch users

    Blocked extra point returned for a score is worth two points, not six. Wouldn’t have won them the game. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    First solo

    Congrats! I did that...on my very first solo landing. Not a great moment. :mad2:

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    First flight lesson back since before the holidays, I think my last was around the 16th. Just went out to shake the rust off and had a good lesson. Did some maneuvers then a handful of landings, all went well. Got a radio call today I hadn't heard before though: ABQ Approach said "attention...

    Put PP ASEL on non aviation resume?

    You throw out the ones with a family, too, since that involves 2-3+ hours per day? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What if I don't want straight in?

    I’m the opposite, I’m uncomfortable at non-towered fields since 99% of my time is at towered ones. I miss position calls too often when others aren’t in the pattern at non-towered, something I’m working on improving.

    Getting in a flight while out of town?

    I travel a bit for business and have been wondering, would it be possible to get in a flight while in another town? I'm still a student, with ~65 hours. If I called a flight school when I'm out of town, would they be willing to let me go up with an instructor and do some flying? Not necessarily...

    Had a fun day, first dual cross country - Pics

    It's pretty small and not nearly as exciting as the other one...but some of Red Dawn was filmed there (and a few other movies).

    Student in right seat with private pilot PIC-legal?

    This is so very true. I’m very comfortable on the radio and when getting vectored around In the pattern ( or anywhere). It really does help but also runs up the time/cost.

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    First cross-country Saturday (pics in the other thread). Flight was 3.2 hours! Puts me a little over 66 hours now. Unfortunately (or not) I'm leaving on vacation out of the country (Colombia) for 2 1/2 weeks starting Saturday so I won't have another lesson until I return. That's scheduled for...

    Student in right seat with private pilot PIC-legal?

    Dead-on here. I'm 47 and at 65 hours. No way am I done with just 10 more hours, though. I'm thinking more like 20-25 or so. But, I've had times with 3+ weeks between lessons and I know that hurts me. Heck, I flew yesterday and won't fly again until January 13th due to being out of the country...
