Palm Springs is a great place to fly to. Went there back in March and it was smooth through Banning Pass at 7500. If you go through Cajon, you stand a good chance of getting tossed a bit there. We got some good bumps as we passed north of Ontario. Altitude is your friend but coming into PSP you...

With a significant financial stake at hand,you were well within you're right to inquire about this using whatever method you felt was necessary. The fact that they got butthurt about it is not your problem. They're viplating the law as well as possibly causing you harm. They should be a little...

Oh, no. He passed. This kid has his head on way straight and knows his stuff. Always great flying with him and tons of useful insight.

Apparently my instructor had his iPad take a dump during his CFII checkride. The safest thing (and what I will be doing on my checkride in a week and a half) would be to probably have the current chart supplement and the procedures books in your bag with relevant pages (local approaches, for...

Man, if I didn't have a bunch of stuff already lined up with work, vacation at the end of June and my instrument checkride coming up in a week and a half, I would be on this like flies on s***. I would be game if you do any future trips.

I did my long x-country a week and a half ago. Lots of fun and differing conditions including actual, rain, turbulence, and various airspace. So far have logged just under 5 hours of actual and I make sure I take off my foggles when going into it to get the full experience. Checkride in two...

I used a few books and other materials then hit Sheppard Air to finish things up. 95%

Did two in the past week. Last Saturday I did VFR-on-top to do instrument maneuvers then had to get back down through the marine layer. ATC kept up VFR us for at least 20 mins while they brought in other faster traffic then got us in. Last night had to ask for a clearance to get back in after...

Good info. I plan to take a flight out to Vegas from Camarillo come end of June.

Interesting you mention that. I was listening to KCMA on Live ATC a couple years ago and an Epic declared an emergency due to a cocked-over nose wheel. On touchdown it straightened itself out.

THIS! I have an A20 and recently bought an H10-13.4 for 175 bucks off eBay in near perfect condition to have as a spare and for passengers. Great deal for a beginner that will last for years. I will upgrade with the Headsets Inc. kit in a year or so for noise canceling so my lovely wife can...

Without a pitch change on the prop to eat up the extra power you won't get any faster without exceeding RPM limits. Sure, you will run lower throttle settings at cruise RPM, therefore better fuel burn. You should also get better climb at lower IAS because the extra power can be consumed as...

That seems a bit extreme. Call up Camarillo Flight Instruction at KCMA. Get ahold of their chief CFI, Michael. Go up and have him evaluate you based on the ACS. If you're good to go, schedule the checkride with a local DPE, immediately. You'll need another couple of hours to satisfy the...

This is a load of BS. Based on the screw ups that were made by the original DPE, you need to contact the FSDO asap. You aren't alone in this and they are obviously doing something unethical, if what you claim is true. If you've got experience in a DA40 w/ G1000, contact Camarillo Flight...

I would combine 1 and 2 and then add 5. There isn't going to be much growth in FF as it is, but if you take integration with FF into their aircraft, then add in a nominal fee to the airlines, boom, instant growth in sales.

It's impossible to know the magnitude but it appears to me that the rate it approaches the ground decreases the closer it gets to the ground. This would indicate possible attempts to recover but then again, it might be an illusion caused by the trees being in the way or a lens that isn't...

It was definitely in a dive and looks like it was starting to level out. Another few hundred feet of ground clearance and they might have recovered? Or am I imagining things?

I'm considering switching to ForeFlight but I hate most all Apple products. If they put together an Android version and make t compatible with Stratus equipment, I'm on it.

I've always wondered if it can work both ways. For example, if you barely passed, the DPE might really hound you on the sections missed in order to see if you've made an effort to learn the material. On the other hand, do they ever look at the results and think, "Let's see if this guy really...

KVNY is not exactly a convenient GA location. Huge corporate jet hub. As mentioned, KWHP is about ten miles away and a but more convenient, but right under the KBUR class C. I live in Oxnard and the coming months will get into some marine layer if you aren't IFR but you can get an AirBnB at the...
