    New Job 2 - Electric Boogaloo

    I think I'd wait for a full year with the company and see if they bring up the raise first. They obviously like what you're doing to this point. A few more months as Mr. Drone, including training the noobs, will only add to your resume. I think the one year mark would be a natural...

    Interesting way to propose on a Cessna?

    I have two thoughts : 1) If she doesn't kill you immediately after landing, she's a keeper. 2) Women never forget so..... she may poison you 10 years from now.

    Good short documentary on Netflix

    Wow. I knew nothing about the payday loan industry before watching "Dirty Money" but all I can say (without spoilers) is WOW.

    Good short documentary on Netflix

    "Mayday: The Passenger Who Landed a Plane" I enjoyed this one. Not a bunch of fake drama, just reality.

    Lear down TEB

    It was daytime and they were in VMC. Surely someone was looking out the window occasionally. Right? maybe.

    Invisible fence?

    Y'all have it covered. I got the PetSafe brand for our 1.75 acre lot and it worked fine. Luckily 90% of the property line is wooded so not much digging was required. I left the wire on the surface and let leaves cover it. Only issue was the dog would leave every time the battery in her...

    Climate Change means no more flying for you after 2050

    So do any of you folks who are concerned about climate change fly planes for fun? If yes, how in the world can you live with yourself? Think of the children!

    Climate Change means no more flying for you after 2050

    I am a skeptic, not a denier. If I was a true believer in man made global warming and that it's effects were overall harmful to the planet, I could not in good conscience fly an airplane for fun.

    Why are Pilots Like This?

    Yup.... That's when the keyboard battles start. Everyone wants to prove they're an expert and you should listen to them. I didn't mean to imply I'm an expert.

    Why are Pilots Like This?

    One thing somewhat unique about flying is that pilot error is the leading cause of dying in a plane crash. Everyone wants to think they're an above average pilot and will beat the odds. If you put your fellow pilots down as lacking intelligence, having poor "stick and rudder" skills, and...

    GoldMethod or Shepphard?

    I also recommend Bob's book, "The Complete Advanced Pilot." https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Advanced-Pilot-Commercial-Instrument/dp/1619540851/ref=pd_cp_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1619540851&pd_rd_r=SCB6DPW4N6A3BNS5ZT4X&pd_rd_w=BxEYb&pd_rd_wg=bZWT2&psc=1&refRID=SCB6DPW4N6A3BNS5ZT4X You...

    GoldMethod or Shepphard?

    I tried both Sheppard (~2 years ago) and Gold Method (~2 months ago). I think either will do the job but I found Gold Method more engaging and I passed the written. Both may be drilling the material into your head but at least Gold Method doesn't tell you to go memorize a bunch of answers.

    Passed the IR written Thanks to Write Stuff and Cajun Flyer

    I passed my IFR written today. Thanks, GoldMethod! The training format sucked me in and kept me engaged. To answer my own question... I did get a couple of time/fuel calculation questions on the written. I saved those for last. I managed to calculate and guestimate my way to correct...

    Passed the IR written Thanks to Write Stuff and Cajun Flyer

    Thanks for the pointer. Web site has done the trick. I think I'm about ready to pass the written. One thing I noticed is that there aren't any of those flight planning questions where you need to figure out distances along DME arc approaches or takeoff/landing rolls. Have those questions...
