I think it's still worth it. I don't agree that they're doing as horrible in lobbying as some like to say. Just look at how hard it is to get Congress to do anything. The fact that even small progress is being made is a huge win. For example, BasicMed is not the perfect solution everyone was...

My existing aviation milestones would be eclipsed by landing an Eclipse during the eclipse.

Go take the test and get it over with. You can still study more after passing to continue becoming comfortable with all the material.

I use the Overcast app.

Also Flightchops and Premier1Driver on YouTube are very good.

The Finer Points by Jason Miller is a good podcast

Yes. We grew up with airplanes as just another 'family car'. I was in the right seat with my dad while I was still in a car seat. So it was a natural progression for me to take up GA flying as well.

Yes. That's an airband-only transceiver. Put your location into radioreference.com and you can find out exactly what frequencies your local agencies use.

Cue the Foreflight-sucks trolls.

5-7 hours should be all you need. I did an IPC at Action Multi in Groton CT recently and was really pleased with the owner/instructor. http://www.actionmultiratings.com/

I was already multi rated when I did my instrument. I needed more complex and twin time, so I started my instrument in an Arrow and did the last half or so in a Duchess. It was more expensive, but I needed the time either way.

I'm not sure how using ForeFlight or similar is "betting your life" on it. I use and enjoy Foreflight on my tablet, but I also have it on my phone as a backup, plus I have charts available independently on both the G600 and the GTN750, two nav radios, and a full steam 6-pack with HSI that's...

Which has nothing to do with EFBs or GPS. You don't forget how to use a VOR just because you have more technology available. Your point is accurate, but your application is not.

You don't think technology will continue to expand in GA? By the way, I learned with paper, plotter, and pencil behind steam gauges, but I'm not too blind to see when something new is an improvement.

It seems to plan your KRHV-KRNO perfectly fine. Often 'bugs' are actually user typos or other input errors. Not saying bugs are impossible, it's just funny how often the haters have all these problems that nobody else seems to ever encounter.

IMO, if a CFI won't allow electronic charts, you need to find a new CFI. Technology in GA is only going to become more prevalent in the future.

I really like both Steveo and FlightChops. Steveo's somewhat poor radio habits (he gets "say again" fairly often after he mumbles an initial call trying to sound cool) irk me a little bit but that's a minor thing. Overall they're both fantastic at making videos. I've been enjoying watching...

I also do not understand why you would volunteer for a discontinuance. You may not care for the DPE's style but as long as they say you're still passing, keep going.

Are you using metal stays? They're a whole new level compared to the usual white plastic ones.

I used the Flashpass app for my eAPIS filing. At the time, it was far easier than the CBP website procedure. I completed the trip within the free trial period for the app, so I'm not sure what it costs to use long-term.
