    Flu/pneumonia shots

    Thx. I’ll probably try and get the shot the day after my next lesson, so I’ll have a few days before my next. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Flu/pneumonia shots

    May be a non-issue, but for those of you who get flu and/or pneumonia shots, is there any sort of waiting period before you can/should fly afterwards? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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

    Ahhhhh that felt great! Did my first solo away from the airport today! :D Flew down about 15-20 south to one of the practice areas. Did some steep turns (one was junk), s-turns starting from both directions, and some general sight-seeing because I haven't been able to do much of that yet :D...

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

    Got it done today! Second solo in the books, 1 hour in the pattern at KAEG. Started off a little crappy. Did 3 landings with the CFI, on the third I bounced it pretty good. So he said, nope, let's do one more. Got that 4th one in and he said let's go to the ramp. Got started back up and...

    Can a private pilot land a big boy?

    Oh I don’t know...according to my CFI I flare anywhere from 10’ to 50’ or more above the ground. :D

    Fly runway heading, I'll call your turn. . . .take off clearance canceled.

    Couple weeks ago I got taxi instructions...while I was on downwind. Got our tail numbers mixed up. It was all good.

    Oddly enough, the plane I have trouble with has the least power of the 3. Well same HP as one of the others, but it has a climb prop vs this one with a cruise prop.

    I definitely do better with one of the other Cessnas. I’ve flown all 3 and this is my least favorite of the bunch.

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

    Another solo attempt, another bad day. :( Went to go get my second solo signed off. Flew the pattern for a few at KAEG, but the winds were a little high (11-12kts), outside of the solo limits. So I figured we'd get some windy landing practice. All of my landings were really nice. Worst of the...

    Nevermind

    I don't remember what this was about... Probably when I ran off the side of the runway on my first solo landing. Don't recall the question though.

    Bummed, had to scrub my flight lesson yesterday. It was too windy for a lesson. Rescheduled for this Friday and another one next Monday.

    Had a nice lesson yesterday, did 9 landings and all were good with most being really nice ones. If the weather cooperates, I'll get another solo Sunday.

    Can student pilot fly into non-towered pattern of another airport?

    Sometimes things occur to someone after their last lesson and before the next. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Southwest Fares

    Sorta If they have an A boarding number, they board before A group. All others board between A and B groups. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Positive TSA experience

    I know it's easy to bag on the TSA, but I had a great encounter this past week. Flying to DAL Monday for work meetings. That AM I go through my backpack to make sure nothing that isn't supposed to be there is in it. Get to the airport, check in at ticket counter, then to security. Head...

    Airlines Playing 20 Questions

    Don't be too sure. Plenty of Americans have no idea New Mexico is part of the US. Case in point...girl that worked for me went to South Carolina for college. Freshman year they put her in the international dorm because she was from another country. Higher Ed at its finest.

    New to pilot training

    The amount of instructional time it takes you up until you solo has nothing to do with the quantity of solo hours required to meet minimums to be eligible to take your check ride for your license. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
