I read your post about busting the check ride. I just started working on the commercial and realized I need to get a lot smoother with the rudder. Thanks for sharing your story and the above link. I will work that into my practice routine.

Nice. I agree on trying to pan the camera down a bit. I do like the camera placement - I like being able to see the view from the pilots prospective and still see some of the panel. I love those over water approaches. You guys fly in a great part of the country.

Thanks Buck. I did replace the graphics card about 2 months ago with a GeForce 1050. It helped a lot. The frame rates went from 10-12 up to 30. I looked around on the web and some people with this motherboard had issues putting faster cards in this motherboard so I went with the 4GB 1050...

Thanks for posting Greg. I have been to the Armstrong museum. I had heard of the Duesenberg museum but never been there. I will get over there soon.

The machine can run FSX maxed out. FSX has not been updated in so long I decided to try X-Plane. I am struggling a bit, but getting used to it. I found some memory on line - 2 x 8GB that I will try. I don't want to sink tons of money in an old machine. I am 15+ years removed from doing any...

Here is a replay of a podcast with Herb Kelleher on how he built Southwest. Sounds like he was an interesting guy. https://www.npr.org/2019/01/04/682174446/remembering-herb-kelleher

I have the same setup. I don’t want anything bigger in the cockpit either. I would like to semi-retire the Air 2 for casual browsing and buy a new unit but I don’t want a bigger iPad. If they would update the mini footprint like they have the iPhones so it is almost entirely screen with no...

Yes - I meant 8GB. The machine is old - but not that old! The graphics card helped a lot. I know the pc is is limited, I just don not want to go through the hassle of starting over with a new machine.

I need a little help from you hardware guys. I am trying to squeeze a little more performance out of my old PC. It has 8 MB RAM and I am wondering if adding more RAM would help. I already added a GeForce GTX1050 dedicated graphics card. The motherboard had an integrated graphics chip would...

Unfortunately- we are in the avionics shop a while longer. I hope to catch one of these soon.

I also watched it on my Youtube feed this morning as I was getting ready for work. I expect to start Multi training in 2019. I like the instructor you are using. I hope to find someone like that when I start the rating. I have been subscribed to your videos for a while and enjoy them. I...

I am using multiple sources for the Commercial written and they all distinguish between Vf and Vfe. @write-stuff - Any insights into how prep software test questions are determined?

That is who I tried to use last year. I had called ahead and explained I was just looking for a one time flight with a CFI. When I went over there, they seemed perplexed that I was not working on training. In the end, the weather end up not working out. I will give them another call.

Any suggestions on a flight school at SPG for a one time dual flight? I am also visiting St. Pete and Sarasota in a few weeks and would like to do a dual flight while there. I tried to do one last year but the weather did not cooperate.

Thanks Buck I am guessing no one has an Avidyne add on available or you would have it. I wish our 172 panel was only $50 to upgrade! I will download the 650.

I am new to X-Plane. I am hoping you can explain how the add on GPS works. If you buy the add on gps and you use a stock airplane can you display the add on GPS on the stock airplanes? I used to use FSX and older versions but just recently bought X-plane and trying to get up to speed so I can...

It is taking a bit for that to sink in. I am trying to understand the communication protocol. We are having an IFD440 and a Lynx transponder installed. I assumed I would get ADS-B in to the iPad directly from the Lynx - not the IFD. I think what you are saying is both the GPS and the...

The checklist is a good idea. I printed out a copy of 61.129 and I am using it for my checklist. Good luck with your training.

It sure sounds like it to me provided you were sole occupant. I have have not read anything that you could not stop - only that you needed landings at 3 points and > 250 mi from your original point of departure.

You might go into settings> privacy > location services > system services and turn off the location based suggestions and “significant locations”. That is what allows your phone to “provide useful location related information”. They claim the locations are encrypted and cant be read by apple.
