Same. So far I am the only one who has bounced off the ceiling. And only one REALLY good time. I came home one day and she asks me. "what did you do to your forehead?" It was one hard bump that slammed my headset into my forehead and left a good nick, on a mostly clear day. I don't yet have...

She's a regular and we were doing a XC. The chop and the "sporty" landing made her queasy for the first time on a GA plane, which I understand someone not liking. Now she says she can't wait to go again. She just wasn't so enthusiastic yesterday. :)

68G95? Whoah! Slow down. Think I better take my time working up to that. :)

Nope. Nobody was new to GA. Hey! I don't like chop and I'm not new. Doesn't mean I'm afraid of or won't fly in chop. Same thing with my pax. We prefer our XC trips on nice clear, smooth days. No sin in that. Besides, "forecast" is what is predicted. "Weather", on the other hand, is...

What are yours? Turns out mine are just below what I flew today in my little single. They were calling for 17g32kt straight down the runway. Bumpy but doable. No problem. Within 4 miles it updated to: 24011G27KT 220V290 RMK PK WND 23027/2250 SLP114 T00391044 Landing on 23. I can handle...

I just finished mine a couple weeks ago with Scott Best at OBX Flight in NC. He has a 7 day finish up course. Not sure what the weather is like there in the winter but there was some good IMC while I was there. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

11 year necropost. Very impressive. Either way you should put it on your list. A fun place with some great people. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Got my IFR last week. Put on another 150hrs on the Super Viking. Got some hours in a Piper. Selling a house. Overall a good, easy year. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I have a barely used trifold kneeboard from sporty's for the taking. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

My airport is 40 min away. My vote would be 10 min away. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I know I posted in a separate thread that I passed my IFR checkride, but I thought I'd share my experience with OBX Flight. It is a 7 day finish up course. I had my written, over 10 hrs of training and well over 50 hrs of XC. So I set off to Garner, NC in my Super Viking to finish up. Scott...

This just in today: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2016/12/05/even-with-one-cigarette-day-odds-early-death-are-higher.html

Good luck on the test! Good question. Most will be XC. 200 of my 300 hrs at the Checkride are XC. My first official IFR flight today will be 700nm, followed by a 400 NM trip this weekend. I do believe I'm pretty well equipped and I don't want to spend money for the sake of spending money...

I smoked for 10 years. Peaked out at 3 packs a day for a while. Cold turkey is the way to go but replace it with something. I exercised more and always had a pencil in my pocket because I felt like my "muscle memory" was equally addicted to just the act of holding a cig. It's been almost 20...

Thanks everyone! Catn_kirk, what simulator do you recommend? A home version like xplane or renting time in the big guys? Regarding the panel I am happy with the panel and I don't believe that a better panel makes you a better pilot as far as skills go, but can make make you a better pilot...

Took the checkride today and passed! BUT I have to say I kind of feel like the day I was leaving the hospital with the kid? Wait.. What? You want me to do this on my own? Who's going to make sure I don't do something stupid?! So.. Here I go. Tomorrow will be my first solo IFR trip...

This thread's been going for 7 years now. 4th resurrection. I'm setting my alarm for this time next year. :) Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Just picked mine back up today after leaving it a 3 hr drive away a couple weeks ago when the mags started acting up. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I'm looking at one relatively quicly too. The shop I'm talking to is recommending insight as a reasonable priced monitor that is not a primary replacement. Anyone have any experience with insight? Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
