    To become a student pilot or not become one....

    Also, make time. You will need about 40 - 100 flight hours and 3X that in study, so 120 to 300hr. Its like taking a difficult two semester college course. Make the time somehow. Less sleep is ok if you don't fly the next day. Trips to the airport kill time too. Every lesson I took was 5...

    Making the traffic pattern safer (a satire)

    I think your marketing is off. You can't just spew out high tech specifications and expect the layman to understand why its technically superior. You must make them feel good, like they are getting a deal. Set the price to 2,200. Round numbers hit hard. Ok, how for a limited time, you can get...

    1st solo went well, 2nd one was more nerve racking

    My second solo was very stressful as well. I was not going to share this, but since your story is similar to mine and to remind us we are not all Bob Hoover. I think its because on your second solo you are in charge of everything, not simply taking off and landing three times. Pulling the...

    Laptop turns off internet connx

    A really easy way to tell if its hardware is to make Linux Mint usb boot drive. Boot up in it, if you have no wifi you probably have a bum card. Use this, really fast and easy. https://unetbootin.github.io/

    Laptop turns off internet connx

    Every time this has happened to me the wifi adapter has failed. It has happened at least 3 times in the past 12 years. Grab another card on ebay and replace if you know software is not the culprit. If you are not sure what card will work, take the thing apart then get the same one on ebay...
