    The emergency/situation thread

    On my longest cross country to date a few months after getting my license I had an alternator failure. I took me a few seconds to understand what was happening. When I did I started looking for the nearest airport with services on my Ipad. I took a few seconds to decide between a class c airport...

    First flight since PPL

    Agree with all of the above. Flying holds my 6 year olds interest for a few minutes then he is asking for the iPad to watch movies. Parenting fail? Maybe. Oh please don't insist on running all of your preflight checks as you sit in front of the fuel pumps after filling up. Chances are someone...

    First flight since PPL

    Sounds like you have a handle on everything. I felt (and still feel the same way) as you right after I got my license. I really wish more real world flying like this was covered in training.

    New vehicle, what to get?

    The new MDX looks sweet. I've always wanted one of those.

    Real-world PPL cost

    I finished in 48 hours and I'm pretty sure I kept it right around $6k last October. Haven't added it all up and don't want too.

    it's like I've never flown before....

    Don't sweat it. Your cfi won't send you for your check ride if he's not sure you will pass. I had the same problems right before my check ride. I even blew my first steep turn during the test but luckily the DPE noticed "the sun was in my eyes" so I got another shot!

    New pilot frustrations

    I feel the exact same way. I am low time as well and it seems as long as I have someone in the plane with me I am great. It doesn't have to be another pilot or CFI, just someone to talk through everything with. When I am up on my own I get into my own head and start wondering what in the...

    The news said he was "showing off for friends." But we all know how accurate news reports can be.

    Bose A20 with Bluetooth

    Extremely lightly used Bose A20 headset for sale. I used it on about 5 flights. I bought it as a present to myself after getting my ticket but I simply haven't been flying enough to justify the expense. Plus my rental aircraft comes with Bose X headsets so those work for the little flying I...

    UflyMic for bose QC2 headphones

    I tried it using the QC2 in a 172 during my training. I really didn't like it very much. I felt it was much louder than the Halo's I was using at the time. That said it is perfect for my son who is used to using those headphones with his IPad.

    Took my intro flight today!

    I guess you flew with Jason? I've never flown with him but just interacting with him around their office he seems like a nice guy. I flew with Sarah (and still do from time to time). She is fantastic and I can recommend her with no reservations. She is really laid back and will let you make...
