Finally got my commercial ride finished this week (a bit behind the schedule I wanted to be on, though still not horrible considering I only got my private a little less than a year ago and I go to school and work full time). I'm trying to get my CFI done relatively quickly (have flown right...

The first thing to learn is...you can't load victor airways :) Learned that the hard way my first time getting a rather long and complicated clearance ...probably burned about .4 on the hobbs trying to figure that one out

Took me about 6-7 hours to feel comfortable flying in the right seat, mock instructing though is a whole different story, I still say "right rudder" when my instructor is landing as my student when he is sometimes lined up perfectly (according to him)

Look at a FARO G2, I have a Bose A20 and a Clarity Aloft but when I was trying different headsets on at Sportys I found the FARO to be more comfortable than Das

Yeah 800 total, actually its more like 900 total now that I look at my flight log but nonetheless. There were a few spots over eastern Ohio where the pucker factor was def up a little, I'm used to having fields galore if **** hits the fan, out there I saw nothing but hills and trees, wouldn't be...

lol, hey Cincinnati isn't too bad at all, a lot better than when I lived there!

Yup! They were pretty light both times but can't complain about that

Thanks! Yeah it was fun flying into the airport I grew up right by and used to always watch planes fly into. Was definitely a good addition to the logbook!

Haven't posted in a while but thought I'd share a few pics. Decided to fly from Baltimore to Cincinnati to visit family over the weekend and knock out most of the remaining PIC hours I need for my Commercial rating. Had a really great flight, managed to get a tailwind going west and then again...

You guys pull power out before the flare in a PA28? Well, I was taught to slowly ease it out over the numbers and start the flare while at the same time cutting power, seems to work perfect to me (shrug)

haha well, yeah I'm sure compared to many other aircraft out there it does quite well, but compared to a Skyhawk, the brick comparison seems at least somewhat fitting.

1. After going back to a Skyhawk for the first time in about a month, I like low wings a loooot more than high wings. I felt like I couldn't see anything in the C172 yesterday. :eek: 2. The PA28R doesn't quite glide as bad as a brick, but maybe a brick with a parachute that's too small ;) 3...

Congrats pilot!

Good story and glad you had a good outcome. Funny that this happened to you, had a similar (but not as bad) situation this past weekend as well. I was flying with my dad (his first time in a small plane, of course) on Friday and took off out of KHGR IFR, got to cruise altitude and I got a low...

Couldn't tell you, that's what I was wondering too, my guess is because it's easier (and more accurate) to track coming up to and leaving EMI, since going the radial route I have to wait for the cone of confusion to clear before I can track it preciesly

Thank you...I'm sure someone will be along soon to say how it's BS their tax dollars cover someones flight training but, as someone who has worked in government for the last 11 years I can assure them its a drop in the bucket compared to the multitude of other things their tax dollars are REALLY...

Yeah, well tried to file for HAIGS direct but again got the same clearance, I guess it is because it's a fix on an approach but it's just funny how once I hit EMI they give me direct HAIGS (shrug)

Yeah, they are would you like to see a screen shot of my bills that have been paid? It doesn't cover private if you aren't in a college program and even some college programs won't do it because it's a lot of extra paperwork Not sure why you are arguing with me lol maybe you should call the...

It does if you go to the right school my private instrument commercial CFI CFII and MEI have all been paid for

C172sp ..150 with instructor is insanely cheap, one reason I can't wait to get out of the East Coast, although I cant complain all of my training is covered by the GI Bill
