    FAA vs YouTube Commercial Pilot channel(s)...

    And the memo clearly supports a mount like his being used, by the way I'm reading it.

    Interesting info from one of the mount manufacturers http://mypilotpro.com/are-gopro-aircraft-mounts-faa-compliant/

    T&G more risky than Stop and Go?

    I had trouble on my first solo landing, I think a big part of the trouble was it was a full stop. We did all T&G (except last landing if the lesson of course) so 90% of my practice was not to full stop. I realize that T&G saves time, but practicing full stop too should be incorporated. Sent...

    I really like Steveo's videos and hope they don't shut him down. The commentary about the different areas of the Bahamas is great, as is the scenery.

    A Candid Question About Flying

    Normal (I HOPE!) :) I'm in training now. First bunch of flights I would ask my CFI "are we ok?" "is this normal?" things like that... And every little bit of turbulence (mostly thermals here) would have me grabbing the glare shield in fear that we were going down. Now, it's pretty rare that I...

    How to improve my wife's "service ceiling"

    Man, if I had to use oxygen above 6000' I'd need to put it on before I hit pattern altitude and wear it constantly here.

    OK, that makes sense...the way I first read his post was I had to reach pattern altitude before turning crosswind. I was thinking "that's gonna take forever with the density altitude here at 5300' field elevation!". I should fully wake up before posting next time :D

    Can you point me to that in the AIM? I'm a low-time student still and haven't come across that. At the airport I fly out of they gave us turn at 500' (or sometimes sooner if the tower tells us to turn early when able for traffic). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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

    Very cool! You'll do fine.

    Good point. I'm quite a ways away from doing anything of the sort, but when the time comes I would definitely check with the rental.

    Do people do the rescue stuff, young eagles, etc. using rental planes? Or is it strictly those with their own plane?

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

    Really enjoyed my lesson today! Went out and did .5 hr under the hood (foggles) then introduced me to VOR and navigation. After reading/learning about it in my online course, seeing it in practice is SOOOO much better. And then ended the lesson with a pretty nice landing :D

    Examiner cancelled the check unreasonably

    Worst part is these drive-by posts. Post up something fairly controversial and then zero follow-up

    I'd be furious

    In-flight Emergencies/Close calls fairly routine?

    I realize that I'm still very new to aviation, but I think most of the "X makes you a better pilot" is the fact that you're gaining more and more experience, which inherently should make you a better pilot. Regardless of the additional rating or whatever you are adding, adding...

    Cross Linking and 3rd Class Medical

    I'd be shocked if it doesn't pass. I should add, this is my opinion. But I've had keratoconus in both eyes for decades. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
