Are Qdobas still around? We used to have them in Chicago, but I think they are gone. I didn't mind them, but we have so many mom and pop as big as your head burrito places, that we don't eat at the chains too often. That being said, I do like Chipotle. I like their steak, and the smoky...

I was definitely worried I had screwed up. I think he said 10 words to me the whole ride. I would have preferred not having No as one of them.

My home field is 2,500 x 30. I am much more comfortable landing on most taxi ways. :goofy: I landed on a taxi way at either KMSN or Janesville when the runway was closed, and the wind was too strong to use another runway. They gave me the option of landing on the taxi way. I took it.

During my PP ride, I had pulled in the first notch of flaps abeam the numbers, then the DPE pulled the engine. I turned for the numbers, which put me in a strong headwind. I pitched down and reached for the flaps, the examiner pushed his knee agains the bar (Warrior). He said no, I wasn't sure...

I ran into him a few years ago at a driving range near my house. I told him he swang a golf club like a baseball bat. He laughed and asked if I thought so. We talked for 20 minutes. He asked how my family was doing, how my job was, what I was doing. Being a Cubs fan my whole life, it was an...

These are ok. They are funny the first couple of times. They have been using the same theme for awhile now. I really like the dog family in the Subaru commercials.

I didn't realize there were any of these left. The one at Palwaukee was ok, but neat with the history. I will have to hit this one the next time I am out that way. KRPJ has a decent restaurant on the field. The best part is sitting out side watching people jump out of perfectly good...

Makes sense, and I would have erred on the side of putting the gear down. I think the only time I would naturally consider gear up would be in water as I was always told that gear down will flip the plane. What's funny is the POH says: Landing without power - Gear up down depending on...

Maybe they are unrelated. It would seem odd, but maybe he had an electrical issue where he couldn't see the panel, and didn't have navigation. That could explain the VFR and vectors to an airport request. Flying a plane at night with a flashlight is a challenge. With the engines out, he...

NTSB preliminary on this is out. Looks like they had fuel, might have been losing both engines, right appeared to have been out. He asked fo a VFR airport, which is intersting as he was on an IFR flight plan. Gear was up. Rough terrain at night with low visibilty, a controlled crash might...

19 years of flying before it happened to someone I knew. Really nice young CFI. He and I finished the ground part of my BFR and decided not to fly that day since he wasn't feeling well. We rescheduled it a couple of weeks later. He texted me the day before saying that he was flying...

I have gotten so used to this stuff, that I really don't worry about it. I have had similar conversations after being handed off to South Bend. I kind of joke that the only reason I got my IR was so Chicago TRACON had to talk to me as I fly in and out of Chicago. 15 years of bad VFR...

You could be right. It is hard for me to determine the difference between a bug in the software vs the SDK or the OS. I am pretty sure I have not seen a bug in FF that wasn't fixed quickly by them (the crash on start for example). Their support and quality are excellent. In my opinion FF is...

I remember a night flight with my CFI when I was working on my PP. We called asking for clearance through the Glenview NAS. Between the clipped military style, her incredibly southern accent, the 15 year old overhead speaker, and the not quite even grind of the engine and prop, I had absolutely...

I often get the same clearance, and response. I take off VFR, pick up my iFR clearance in the air which is something like. Nxxx cleared to SIMMN via radar vectors climb and maintain 3,000 expect your final in 10 minutes. Often I am handed off to Rockford approach before reaching SIMMN...

Not saying I haven't flown my share of S turns on an approach, however I think my first response to this would be an ummm no, unable. Then of course, I would have to fly an approach straight.

I just got mine to work like yours, which is a whole lot better. Instead of tapping an airport, long press on it on the map. That will by pass that black box that I have never seen before (but now I know how to get it). When you long press it brings up the add to route. As soon as I pick...

Keep in mind both of mine are landscape. In landscape, select an entity on the map with your finger. Then select direct to. You may need to select a couple before the top bar disappears and leaving the text inverted. Let me see if I can get the bar to go away completely. It happens on its...

Cool site. I had never seen it before.

It's funny I remember starting to form my argument. I was given a hard altitude and a heading by ATC. During the course of following ATC instructions that I am required to.... At that point I decide my best defense was a strong offense. Anytime I am in a plane formulating my defense against...
