Haha, working on it, everyone! Had friends in town so I got distracted!

Aviation Weather from the FAA. Yeah, it's from 1975, but it's free, and I assume cold fronts haven't changed much since then. http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentid/22268

Well, I'm back! Sort of... Hit a bit of a bump in the road (or Victor airway?). Here is Part 1 of what happened: http://onezuludelta.com/pride-comes-before-a-spin

Glad to see you're still flying! I made a big screw-up or two on my night flight and my long solo x-c, so I know how you feel. Once I was done being ****ed with myself I was able to debrief and see the valuable lessons I (reluctantly) learned. I wish I could learn them all from the safety of a...

Holy crap, Bob, I just read your signature block and realized who you were (I'm new-ish to POA). I've owned Say Again, Please for....10 years? Since back when this whole adventure was still a dream.

I FEEL LIKE A GENIUS NOW. COME AT ME, WORLD.

AH! I should've thought of that. Thanks! Also, I'm assuming the theoretical usable distance and what happens in the real world probably differs some...

Nice, awesome info, thanks! Yeah, this was really just a hypothetical to get at my question. I'll check out the low-alt IFR charts, thanks!

OK one more question! There are 3 types of VORs: VOR, VOR-DME, VORTAC, and they all have different symbols on the charts, I can identify those easily. These VORs also have 3 classifications based on their power/range: "terminal, low altitude, or high altitude. Terminal VORs are designed to...

Steeeeeeeeeep tuuuuuuuuuuuurns over Fire Island. I love flying over the beach!

"I...HAVE MADE FIRE! I HAVE MADE FIRE!!!!"

These training aircraft are twitchy, I guess. I also have that problem, being too twitchy with my control inputs, even after 55 hours. It's so hard not to react quickly. My CFI says I have to ride it like a wave.

Does anyone else feel like this after they have created a thread, and it results in an interesting discussion?

We stayed for 2 nights at the King's House near Glencoe. Literally the most beautiful spot I have ever seen, and I spent 3 months in Alaska. Check it out.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, now I'm thirsty. I got married back in October and we honeymooned for 5 weeks in the UK, spending a good week or two of that driving around Scotland. We are both bourbon drinkers, and I was semi-open to Scotch but unsure, while she thought it tasted like antiseptic. But being...

That would be fun, definitely. It would be funny in this case, I'm chuckling to myself thinking of ATC wondering why there's a guy who squeezed out from under the shelf and is slowly circling upwards to infinity, in between the Bravo and Islip's Charlie, in a Cessna 152. Just buzzing his way...

Ooooh, that makes sense. Thanks to both of you. I wonder if they would be OK (or if it is even safe) with crossing the Hudson exclusion westbound (perpendicular to it), though. Everything else depends on what approaches they are running, I guess. I was headed out to the practice area along the...

All of the above. Just playing around with online planning, mostly, but once I have my license I'll still definitely be playing it suuuuuuuper safe around NYC. Plus, we have certain airports (and general directions - east or northeast) where we go for training from FRG, so I'm pretty ignorant of...

I suppose they will also come in handy circumnavigating all this Class B we have here around NYC. I saw a post on FB about a new restaurant opening at 4N1 in New Jersey, so I mocked up a plan of how to get there, using DPK and CMK.

Up next: MOCK CHECKRIDE. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I'm super nervous about the oral portion. I studied and passed the written last fall, then got married and honeymooned and didn't think about flying for too many months, and now I feel pretty rusty on some of the knowledge stuff.
