This was actually my question, at my towered field even if the full-stop on the field is 5k ft down the runway when they're ready to TnG they'd be sent around. They were on the ground when I had completed by turn in the key and was perpendicular to the runway. Given that untowered ops tend to...

Correct, what I meant was that I didn't do anything to encourage them to land behind me or go-around. Its not up to me to play ATC :)

My CFI covered non-towered ops, several years ago. Its hard to differentiate towered vs non-towered fields in my logbook without looking them all up. What's the concern other than flying a practice approach to a full stop and not breaking off the approach and joining the pattern when we got there?

I announced my intention to hold in the key only once I was on the ground and past the midfield turn off and uncertain of the other plane's intentions. It wasn't a big deal since I know the airport and had good situational awareness. If I'd done something like stop midfield to make that turn...

I was approaching 7B2 today to land on 14, and on final ahead of a student at this point on downwind doing touch and goes. I announced my positions, as was the student. They seemed to be heeding my calls but not responding, even though I heard them on CTAF and the FBO confirmed that they heard...

OK I'll bite, this can be done and approach to landing should be easier than most but there are exactly 0 non-emergent situations where you're legal to be flying a plane and unable to use the checklist. Even if you forget the checklist, you have the POH or AFM which lists normal and emergency...

The Quiet Technologies Halo is pretty much that https://www.quiettechnologies.com/. Just add the ends you need on the sound tubes. Very affordable and great service

Could it also be HIPAA related? The old message about "not valid without SI xxxx" was an information disclosure, it didn't specify what the patient had but it disclosed that they didn't meet the standards for the class that they held.

Mine says that I have a 2nd class without the note, this seems normal o_O

How practical is it to do with the 30 hours of helo time?

Yes and so do most 172s

You can get a 3rd from anyone who can offer a 1st or 2nd. The difference between 2nd and 3rd is that 2nd has more vision testing requirements, its not and harder and reverts to 3rd class privs once the 12 months of 2nd class privs expires. My AME actually charges less for 2nd than for 1st and...

My experience has been 2-3 years out that happens, year 1-2 is tough to show a meaningful profit. Glad you've had a different experience since positive cashflow has always been the scary thing about startups

That's like every startup in the world until they either make it big or get bought, Tesla's in this category

Thanks for sharing the story, most pilots have a set of personal minimums around weather, op type, medical condition, sleep, etc... In mine I have a personal minimum for the degree of schinaniganry headed to the hold short line. Sure 1 or 2 things may come up, fouled plug needs to be cleaned...

An airplane panel is a trip back in time. If we had it to build from scratch everything would be ethernet and IP but its not its a lot of D-sub based serial connections that were hand wired. The panel becomes a system of its own interconnecting various instruments to one another until it works...

I'll vote for Dauntless I used it for my CPL, it was a ton better than the ASA app because they provide explanations and let you focus on the questions that are problematic for you

My experience a couple of years ago was that your DPE is going to work you through a few scenarios of IFR flight. Things like losing comms on departure, icing in flight, know the difference between MEA, MOCA, MRA. These were mostly the exception not the norm and all of the scenarios ended in a...

Just stop at rule #1. If you need to know you don't want to know and should sell the plane unless you run a business

We do this all the time at untowered fields, fly practice approaches at night, do a full stop every 89 days stay night current AND instrument current
