    Full Throttle Logistics

    I'm curious about this. Specifically on use of continuous full throttle. As I have not gotten a hard answer from anyone other than common intuition to "consult the POH" Assuming you want to get from point A to point B as fast as possible in your plane. I'd like to focus on two airplanes 1...

    Checkride stories.

    Random question I know, but whatever happened to the P.O.A. monkey? You know, to get it to, ummm, somewhere.

    Oh, I know! Maybe it's a secret code word that he's trapped in a concentration camp because he flew into a foreign TFR. I bet they make great sweets there wherever he is being held; from a prison guard named Phil. Phil must be a great guy who is also fat. Fat people are so nice, it must be...

    Runway closed, can I take off on taxiway

    o_O Look I'm sure if the taxiway is plenty long and plenty wide with no chance of endangering anything you're good to go. If you don't feel safe then don't do it. Better yet, look-up the N-Number of a plane that looks local and ask the owner what they would do if you need the audible approval...

    Runway closed, can I take off on taxiway

    ICAO Code? I want to see the taxi-way. I'd honestly walk the taxi-way for debris and just depart.

    Runway closed, can I take off on taxiway

    careless/wreckless is kind of subjective. What airport is this? Does the airport have a notam that mentions the taxiway?

    Runway closed, can I take off on taxiway

    The FAA has no regulation whatsoever saying what you can land on or what you can't and doesn't care, as long as it doesn't violate 91.13., there may be local ordinances that affect non-airport landings though.

    Study Materials for Yung 'Uns

    Get her Microsoft flight simulator. That's what I was doing when I was 12. You know if she's dedicated and money is no factor you can just get her a King school course so she can just grab some popcorn and watch with you.

    What would make you rent more?

    I would definitely switch to a FBO that offered something like "every 10th flight is free" I wouldn't mind driving an extra 15-20min for that.

    suggestions on how to pay.

    You horrible horrible person, I had to change my clothes and wipe down the table from my drink I spilled. I got my license at 17, I budgeted with so much stress and kept doing the math after every dollar I spent for flight lessons. I still get nightmares from my Instructor "One more flight"...

    What could it have been?

    Okay, so today I had a bad experience. I rented a Cessna 152 that was acting rather funny and with unpredictable comms. (I eventually cut the flight short) All other problems aside, when I was doing a turn around a point with the window open, out of nowhere I got slightly less than a handful of...

    "Landing Fee"

    Do some airports mandate a landing fee through whatever FBO they stay at? I'm trying to figure out how they come up with some of these prices. Surely it's not just a monopoly by the FBO. Some airports i've landed at have no landing fee. I heard a particular FBO at Tampa international charges...

    Making the most of 0.5 hr flight

    See, I completely see where OP is coming from. And before I realized I can rent a 152 for 85/Hour from a farther airport. I used to shell out $65 for half an hour in a 172R about every week. Flying is expensive. I hope to get my commercial in eventually. BTW I'm sooooooo happy when someone asks...

    50 hours of cross-country

    50 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot in command, of which 10 hours must have been in an airplane Can that be any old cross country time? Like, would a direct 53NM VFR flight count? Or does it have to have an Instrument approach with an instructor?
