Yup I did my solo Monday, at about 35 hours That guy would hate me or love the money.

Screw that's CFI, you're better off without him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yikes, that's certainly terrible and concerning. Not sure what I would do. Good luck.

Re-did my solo this morning, 3 landings to complete stop DONE! :D Monkey is off my back finally.

Personally, I'd investigate some of the towns NW of Austin like Brady, Llano, Lampasas. Or around the Brenham/College Station areas, some of the towns near there.

The lack of state income tax in Texas more than makes up for it. When I moved to NM from Texas in '96, the sales tax delta was almost 3%, but now our tax is almost even (within about 1point depending on the area). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've ridden the HHH a couple of times. Great time and yes, it is Hotter than Hell. One year the air temp was 109. No bueno.

That's a good point, I didn't consider that.

Interestingly, while looking up something else, I stumbled upon the Aviation Act for NM. It's the laws governing aviation in New Mexico. One of the articles states: An airport facility that receives funds under the Aviation Act shall not charge landing fees for aircraft, except for aircraft...

If the testing site gets $50 of the fee, they are making peanuts after covering their expenses and paying for a proctor to be there.

If that's a bad one you're doing great!! Had another lesson today. We stayed in the pattern at KABQ since it wasn't terribly busy, so I got 10 landings in. Today was all about practicing landings and to be certain I could re-do my solo from a few lessons ago. Landings today were all pretty...

Holy Semantics, Batman!!!

I just look up to see what military aircraft is overhead. Hear/see them all the time here.

I was really hoping this thread was about Eclipse the failed aircraft company making sunglasses.

I've watched quite a few of his (and lots of others, too). His editing is really good. Take the latest video as an example. It's a 4 hour flight with 25 minutes of edited video...there's very little evidence of noticeable breaks in the footage. Does he use a checklist? I have no idea. But I...

I'm using ASA's PPL Ground School online. Has lots of practice questions, decent videos, etc. Congrats!

Watched it, another good video (in my opinion). I've got no idea, but I don't see a damn thing that someone should get upset about in his videos.

Here's a nerve wracking solo for ya. My first solo, first landing ended with me driving off the side of the runway into the dirt. So I didn't even get to complete my other 2 landings. Not exactly a confidence-booster at all. I was beyond upset at myself for screwing up. No damage, no injuries...

I count myself lucky that I'm training at a class c airport so I get lots of ATC practice. Either in the pattern or when calling to return from the practice area/other airports, I usually get vectored around quite a bit, so I've become comfortable with their instructions. Just keep...
