    Expunged Record and Becoming A Pilot??

    Thank YOU Dr. C! Though I have to confess- I’m working on my Instrument now, today’s lesson was partial panel unusual attitudes. It wasn’t gratitude that I was feeling. :confused:

    Expunged Record and Becoming A Pilot??

    If you’re serious about this, consult with Dr. Chien, tell him the unvarnished truth, and follow his instructions to the letter. If it can be done, he can help you do it. My experience is that the good Doc will move heaven and earth to help if you’re honest and willing to do the work that’s...

    just a student sounding off about checkride jitters.

    Know your stuff, but don’t overthink, or over stress. If you make a few mistakes, just correct them and go on. I may have just been lucky, my DPE was professional, but friendly. And when I didn’t do things perfectly, I either corrected or acknowledged the error, and he would just say I think...

    R182 and GFC500 STC (finally)

    Don’t toy with me, I’m in a glass case of emotion. Lol. Seriously, thanks for the update, are you free to elaborate?

    I’m about a quarter of the way through a 141 syllabus, so far it’s all been learning to precisely control the aircraft under the hood. The hardest part up to now was partial panel unusual attitudes. I have a stage check next week, and then it’s on to departures. It’s hard, but in some ways...

    Buying a 182.....

    I assume so, but since I didn’t quote a straight leg and compare, I can’t put a number on it.

    Buying a 182.....

    Had it about 8 months, so not a fair sample. But, including the prebuy and first annual, no problems and $0.

    Have you experienced an unintentional stall/spin before?

    I did the same thing to myself in my 3rd solo flight. Actually was a great learning experience and confidence builder on what NOT to do getting in, and what to TO do to get out.

    This! Wouldn’t be so bad if they would just tell us the schedule.

    Upgrades and learning the GTN 750/650?

    Want to bet a nickel on which comes first - the PA-30 or the 182 RG?:rolleyes:o

    Upgrades and learning the GTN 750/650?

    I haven’t thought about that, but it’s worth considering. I think I want the 2nd GPS, but it IS overkill. It’s coming out of annual today (at least that went well!) and I’m taking to the avionics shop tomorrow. They’re going to open it up, remove the old stuff, and then we’ll be able physically...

    Upgrades and learning the GTN 750/650?

    Thanks for the input! I hadn’t thought about the remote transponder interface if the 750 goes down , but I had considered it might be nice to be able to control the transponder independent of what’s on the screen. I think there will be enough space to go either way, have to think about that one...

    Is this all worth it?

    Being able to sometimes make business and personal travel faster or easier is how I rationalize the expense in time and money of something that is fun! But if it wasn’t fun I couldn’t justify it at all.

    Mounting iPad in a C172

    This is in a 182, but Ram and an IPad Mini 4 has been great for me.

    Upgrades and learning the GTN 750/650?

    Thanks for all the responses. The FlightStream 510 looks like a real timesaver! I’m currently using ForeFlight, any thoughts on staying with FF vs. switching over to Garmin Pilot? Does GP make updating easier?
