    CFI bailed before checkride what to do about IACRA?

    $550 for a PPL checkride? Damn that's a lot! Must be those silicon valley prices. I used the DPE @ STS. Much cheaper than $550. :) Hope everything works out for you. If you want to try a CFI @ HWD lmk. Good luck!

    Do like they do in some surf videos and hook it up to a popsicle stick and put it in your mouth. :D Get a better view from there.

    Is it the same as a DA40? If so, the skinny one with the screwdriver tip works.

    Traveling to San Francisco (Wanting to fly around San Fran)

    This might help you with ATC phone numbers. I doubt the person you call on the phone is actually working as a controller at the same time. I think Kimberly called NorCal on the radio frequency.

    Traveling to San Francisco (Wanting to fly around San Fran)

    POTUS is back again? The TFR areas are smaller than usual. Like MAKG said just request Bravo clearance. I've got cleared into the Bravo when stadium TFR's (Giants game) are going on. Been awhile since I did a Bay Tour. Got a plane reserved for tomorrow morning. :)

    I need new tires for my truck

    I have a Z71 Suburban and replaced the OEM Goodyears with the BFG Rugged Terrains and I'm happy with my decision. They look beefy and they're quiet. I can't tell you much about the tread wear since they're still new.

    Traveling to San Francisco (Wanting to fly around San Fran)

    Flying in SFO Class B is not too bad. Where do you plan out of flying out of? SQL would probably be the easiest. You can go to HAF (depending on the fog) and fly along the coast or I believe SQL tower can hand you off to SFO tower. You can also do a shoreline transition through OAK Class C.

    WTF on local METAR

    I did my crosswind training at DVO. The winds are really funky out there. I've encountered windsocks in opposite directions from each other at each end of the runway. :eek:

    All examinees of DPE Edward L. Lane to be required to re-test

    Why did you have to go so far to have a checkride? Plenty of DPE's in the Bay Area and Central Valley.

    Good G1000 training materials?

    I took some sim time on a G1000. There's some good YouTube videos for G1000 training. I also bought the Garmin PC Trainer software which helps a bunch.

    Only thing I found with the lapel mic is that I only got sound on 1 side of the speakers.

    Just Moved to the SF Bay Area

    Gonna have to agree with Chucky. :) 880 is worse than 101. 101 is not bad at all. I drive through it everyday and during rush hour with traffic. Taking 280 adds more miles but can be shorter in time. If you still take BART you have to think about how you're gonna get from the BART station...

    If you fly a lot per month it might be worth joining a flying club. If not, pay the non member fees. If you wanna avoid traffic and tolls than SQL might be your best bet.
