I'm the last person to try to give advice, and I get it about Sport being day only. I think the thing for me at night was we were on something like a 150 x 10000 runway, and since it was at night, there weren't many familiar visual cues close to the ground. So, I had to trust what I was feeling...

Doug, I'm 58 and working on my check ride prep. My instructor has told me, repeatedly, that I overthink things, and I had similar problems, and while I looked for every "tip" I could find, I couldn't seem to 'get' it. The thing that helped the most was , of all things, going out one night for...

Did that with my instructor the other day. Challenging, great fun, made one mistake: erroneously anticipated what the controller was going to tell me instead of listening to what he actually said. Terrific learning experience, and he had me thinking too hard to worry about perfect phrasing. Lol.

On another board, a witness claimed he saw the accident. His quote, "I saw it. I was eating dinner watching planes land with my family. Something like a Luscombe was on downwind. Something like a Piper Archer was on a mid field cross wind. The Piper flew into the tail of the Luscombe and cut it...

Theres a club at my home field that has a 172 and a Six. I think it's probably a good option for building 172 time and getting exposure to the Six, thanks!

It certainly will, and everything you say makes perfect sense. At my age, the first plane I buy will like lay be the only plane I buy, and the looks of the low wings appeal to me. One of the reasons I'm asking for advice is to help separate the emotional decision making from the logical.

Newish member here, and I'd love to hear the board's opinion on a couple of subjects. A little background: 57, student pilot, training in 172s. Should solo in the next few weeks, expect to complete PPL in the next few months. After that, I'm undecided on the next step. I think I'd like to take...

I'm a a hair over 20 hours, and we've spent quite a bit of time the last couple of lessons working on power out descents to a suitable field, key points, etc., then actual landings at the home field. Two things have really stood out- when set up for best glide, the plane DOES seem happy! Second...

Hang in there OP! I'm about 22 hours into the process, and I'm had some of the same frustrations, especially when I repeat the same mistake. It hasn't helped that I've 3 different instructors: the first retired (I told him I hoped I wasn't so bad that I drove him from the business), and the...

Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement! And I think your point relating to trying to steer like a car is spot on. I seemed to struggle grasping and 'feeling' the concept of a shallow bank requires holding a little aileron input, but in a medium bank neutralizing controls and the turn will...

As a brand new student, this is an interesting topic for me. Had my first lesson Saturday, I didn't think I did well at all. Behind everything, incorrect control inputs, too much input, overcorrections, couldn't do anything right. At one point my CFI said he was going to tie my hands down if I...

Reading, reading, reading. Videos. More reading. First lessons postponed from Wednesday until Thursday due to Instructor illness. Can't wait!

The liability insurance carrier may make the decision to settle.

Short video of picking up a banner, I'd never seen it done before..... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/airplane-advertising-banner_us_571d8844e4b0d0042da99722

Sad to say, probably went to a scrap yard. Smh.

I can see a GP's malpractice carrier wanting no part of it.

Ok, I laughed.

Did he give their reasoning?

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Lol.

Wow. They're omnipotent!
