Thanks. Now I think I understand.

Perfect. No further help is needed!

I can't seem to find the right answer - so maybe a specific example would be better. I am little unclear about my log book entries and want to make sure they are correct. I am a private pilot and I am receiving instructions from my CFii to get my instrument rating. I go fly for 2 hours...

100% agree with this. I bought both and took the written in October. The test is a joke. Basically memorize the questions and answers from Shepherd and then make sure you actually take time to learn it with King.

I started flying later in life and knew nothing about the technology of airplanes prior to my intro flight a few years ago. I was shocked at how “old” the dials and technology were. I grew up on computers and screen and it was just strange. As I learned, I got a better understanding of it...

I already have my PPL, working on IFR...but I agree with this regarding mnemonic phrase to remember what I should have for day, night, and IFR planning. The fact is I can't remember what all the letters stand for. Just curious, if a check ride is suppose to be like real-life, if I were asked...

I am curious as to the opinion, which I sure will be mixed, regarding these 7 day , 10 day, IFR training classes. I have about 10 hours (instrument) with a CFII. When I got my PPL, I took months to get it primarily because of scheduling. IFR, especially in the winter, has been difficult, so I...

I can only speak for myself, but 50 hours seems like a long time. But hey, better safe than sorry. I definitely don’t want you to kill yourself or others. I have to agree with others here in getting another instructor to help review what you are doing and see a specific plane to work on items...

You are correct - Actually didn't notice the information on the plate stated that RNAV is required for the ILS Y approach. You know what I was thinking: I was thinking ILS was no GPS at all, but just learned that isn't always true. So in this case, ILS would require DME, which I would have...

I appreciate the responses from everyone - very helpful. I do have RNAV, but I wanted to get a better understanding of getting from an enroute filed plan to a deviation to an unscheduled airport using only VOR and DME. I guess radar vectors would be provided from ATC, but for this example, I...

IFR Rated (or those who can help), I have passed the written and working on my IFR rating. Yes, I have a CFI and I want to see what others would do. I still have a little misconceptions about enroute to getting on and ILS final. Situation....KBHM to KMEM (Birmingham to Memphis). I am...

My instructor is going through the garmin procedures, but it is hard to focus on that and fly under the hood at the same time. I have the simulator and have used basic steps while flying VFR. Most of the comments have been very helpful. Thanks

Thanks. I did come across the site and wasn’t sure how detailed it was. Appreciate the response.

It is WAAS. Forgot to mention. But the videos may help. I was curious about any pf these online programs some may have tried out other than YouTube.

thanks. I just updated my post and meant to say that I had the simulator, but was looking for more specific training.

I search the forum for this and found some really old links regarding FAA training videos on the 430. I am VFR now and working on IFR training. I want to get more proficient with the 430 and using it during IFR flights. While my instructor will help, I need some additonal,repetitive training...

Obviously I would not encourage this, but can you imagine the story they will be telling their kids? “Remember when we stole the airplane.....”.

My two cents...from a “newer” pilot in 2015. I didn’t know anything about being a pilot in 2015 when I got the chance to fly in a demo flight. I immediately loved it and worked to get my license at 38 tears old. I was totally horrified at the fact that nothing was digital, everthing seemed so...

POA, I am working on my IFR. I am missing all of the practice questions on holding patterns. I am missing the ones on how to enter the hold, direct, teardrop, parallel. I am having a hard time picturing in my head. I know the degrees for each entry, I am just having time picturing it. I...

I can’t tell you the number of times my brother and I have told my dad about some “new” technology that we have and then he goes on to say something like, “back in the 50’s and 60’s we were already doing stuff like that.....”. Based on what he has told us, it appears everything that could ever...
